Dian Deacon’s face fell immediately.
"Give it to me." Flossie Wright’s voice was cold. When her mother frowned, she directly took the mobile phone, walked to the French windows before speaking to the person on the phone, "What is it?"
However, Flossie’s father, who had anxiously wanted her to answer the phone, started accusing her immediately, "Flossie Wright, what’s the matter with you? Can’t you even call your father?"
"What is it?"
There was a pause before Flossie asked again, her voice was unflappable, and there was no hint of astonishment, as if the person on the phone couldn’t draw any of her attention.
Apparently feeling Flossie’s indifference, the voice of her father paused for a moment, then came erupted slightly, "There’s a gathering today, why aren’t you here?"
"I don’t want to." Flossie gave a concise answer.
In Flossie’s memory, her father always acted in a condescending manner. Her stepmother and siblings always held their heads high in front of her. Even when she complained to her father about being mistreated, he would defend them with the excuse that they were still young. After a few instances, Flossie’s heart grew cold, and those two arrogant children became more and more aggressive.
This is the main reason why Flossie does not want to go home.
Of course, she was not afraid of her stepmother and siblings. But she felt that on such a festive occasion, it would seem out of place if she were to severely reprimand them.
"You..." Her father began, wanting to scold her, but swallowed his words. He then asked grudgingly, "Just answer me one thing, do you want to marry Rowdy Brightwill or not?"
The Wright and Brightwill families had planned a grand event that night, originally intending to finalize the matter between Flossie and Rowdy. But they never imagined that while Rowdy, the person they were most worried about, had dutifully returned, Flossie, the one who once claimed she would "marry no one but Rowdy," had suddenly hidden away at her birth mother’s house. Even though Rowdy had explained that she wanted to spend New Year’s with her birth mother, who would believe that?
In the past, she never celebrated New Year’s there, and now she has specifically chosen this critical junction...

Could that be anything other than intentional avoidance?!
"I don’t."
When it came to this matter, Flossie’s response was quite definite.
She came back this time intending to break off her engagement with Rowdy if she had the opportunity. But she was not sure about Rowdy’s thoughts. After all, breaking off an engagement unilaterally could create a very awkward situation. So she wanted to discuss with Rowdy before proceeding. But now that her father had been so "kind" to ask, she didn’t mind expressing her thoughts.
Of course, she knew how much the old Flossie wanted to marry Rowdy. But she never conceded to humiliate herself. She couldn’t possibly fulfill "Flossie’s last wish" against her own will. She couldn’t develop feelings for Rowdy, let alone adapt to a life with him, so there was no need to force herself.
However, her so certain answer made her father pause.
In the hearts of almost everyone who knew about Flossie and Rowdy’s situation, Flossie has always been the one who relentlessly pursued Rowdy. She even threatened her life when Rowdy suggested breaking off their engagement, and in no way was she willing to sever her relationship with him. Even though Rowdy once clarified to her explicitly that he would not marry her.
Now, they finally got Rowdy Brightwill to agree to the marriage, but they never envisaged that this time it would be Flossie who’s not willing. And the decisive and firm manner did not seem like she was playing hard to get.
