Chapter 241 – What if Starry is not an outsider?
Starry’s hand is quite beautiful, almost all of them are cones, and only three of the thirteen cards are not of the same suit.
Starry glanced at Dillon and could see from Dillon’s expression that his cards should be good too.
Thomas played first, and he hit a one-barrel.
Starry pointed to his two one barrels: “Am I allowed to touch?”
“It’s OK.”
She called the touch and punched out the 30, 000.
Dillon is in her next home, just as well as being able to touch.
He saw just Starry even had to ask Filip to touch it, and felt that he could win back the car he lost last year today.
“We do not play much, that is, 100 some, Miss Bradley assured to play, Filip has a lot of money, several million to him, it is a matter of seconds, not to mention a few hundred.”
Thomas glanced at Dillon and let out a laugh, “You’ve got a big mouth, don’t you still remember the car you lost last time?”
“We don’t know who will lose and who will win today!”
Dillon said, probably thinking he was being too obvious, and added to Starry, “Don’t worry Miss Bradley, there’s a novice advantage to playing bridge!”
As soon as he said that, Freddie, who had been silent, spoke in a light voice: “Let’s begin.”
Starry asked, “Is this a win for Mr. Baxter?”
Dillon was a little sarcastic: “It’s okay, he can’t win.”
Freddie did not answer, the whole box is basically Dillon in that bragging, Thomas and Starry occasionally answer a sentence or two.
“Tch, I’m really lucky today!”
Filip pushed the cards: won.”
Dillon: “… Look at Miss Bradley, you’ve got good preferential treatment for newbies, right?”
Starry’s cards are good.
She smiled a little, “Thank you Mr. Baxter.”
Dillon counted the chips to her, “Not bad, not bad!”
At the beginning of the second game, Filip’s cell phone suddenly rang, the call was from the Pearson residence, Filip looked at Starry: “Frances is looking for me, I’m going to take a call.”
“Good.”
This time around nine o’clock, usually old Mrs. Pearson this time has rested, this time to call him, Filip still some worry.
He picked up the phone and went out to the balcony and answered the call, “Grandma?”
“It’s me, you’re with Starry?”
“Well, playing bridge with Dillon and a few of the guys.”
“Oh, nothing, I just called to ask you, today Lilly said she went to the golf course with her friends and bumped into you and Starry, you had a bit of a falling out.”
Filip also guessed that it was Lilly who had complained, he raised his hand and pressed his temple: “Nothing unpleasant, just a greeting.”
“I understand. Okay, you’re usually quite busy, it’s rare to relax, go ahead, I’m going to bed too.”
“Good, grandmother good dreams.”
“Hmm.”
After hanging up the phone, old Mrs. Pearson’s face was floating out with a smile.
Martha took one look and understood: “Master Filip is really with Miss Bradley?”
old Mrs. Pearson nodded, “Lilly this girl does not like Starry, she said those words, I can hear, she is complaining that her brother is biased towards others!”
old Mrs. Pearson made this phone call, naturally, not to raise the alarm.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She has lived to this age, how will not hear Lilly’s words inside the human ghost words.
Lilly’s words are all about Filip favoring an outsider and not helping her sister.
But what if Starry is not an outsider?
Then doesn’t everything make sense?
old Mrs. Pearson once heard Lilly say “brother to help an outsider are not helping me” this word, she guessed Filip and Starry are mostly together.
And Lilly should also know, she does not say, but does not want to admit that Starry is her sister-in-law.
She just had that phone call, though she didn’t ask anything, and Filip didn’t seem to say anything either.
But just by the fact that he played bridge with Dillon and the others and brought Starry with him, it was clear, and she didn’t have to keep asking.
Filip is she watched growing up, Dillon those people are Filip’s childhood buddies, they will get together so many times a year, back to the four of them basically.
When Lucia seemed to blend into the circle of the four of them, but in fact, it is not, if you ask around, you will know that Lucia can appear on the occasion, basically not only the four of them, there are others.
When the four of them got together, they never called Lucia once in all those years.
So, at the beginning of the rumor that Filip and Lucia had a section, Lucia abroad Filip was dumped these things, old Mrs. Pearson is not a word of belief.
Her own grandchildren she knows.
When Martha heard old Mrs. Pearson’s words, she could not help but fold her hands: “It seems that God has opened his eyes, Master Filip is really with Miss Bradley!”
old Mrs. Pearson, however, did not forget those things of the past, she coldly snorted: “You are not too optimistic, people are not necessarily willing to marry him!”
Martha smiled, “Aren’t you looking forward to Miss Bradley’s return?”
“What’s the point of me looking forward to it? Filip’s mouth, if it were you, would you be able to stand it?”
Mallet knocking can still muffle a few sounds, he is good, knock can not knock the sound to!
Martha didn’t agree: “You said before that it would take some time for Master Filip to get Miss Bradley! Now that they’re all together, it won’t be long before Master Filip gets the hang of it!”
old Mrs. Pearson is actually just tough-talking, “No more no more, that’s what he’s made of! It’s late, I have to go to bed!”
“Go to sleep, tonight you ah, can definitely sleep well!”
“You’ve become good at coaxing people now!”
Martha helped old Mrs. Pearson to cover up the blanket, and then went out of the room.
Filip hung up the phone and didn’t go back to Starry right away, he called Florence.
Lilly does not like Starry is not a day or two, once Lilly is abroad, the two do not meet on, plus he really does not have those ideas for Starry, so do not care.
But now, Lilly three times to Starry out of words, and today also to old Mrs. Pearson in front of the complaint, this matter, he will have to manage.
Not seven or eight-year-old children, he did not force Lilly to like Starry, but if she can not even do the minimum courtesy and respect, then he can only say that he does not have such a sister.
Filip returned from his call to Lilly and Starry had already lost two games in a row.
Dillon won the third hand.
When Filip came back, Dillon was proud: “You’ve been on the phone a little too long, you see Miss Bradley is losing it all.”
Dillon said this is a bit shameless, Starry although lost two, but she won the opening game, this time there are still more than a thousand dollars left!
Filip glanced at Dillon and looked over at Starry: “Don’t mind him, it’s just beginning.”
Starry laughed, “I really don’t know how to play very well.”
