Chapter 258 Say It Again
He didn’t let go.
Yuliana didn’t say anything. They looked at each other, and no one would take a step back.
Raymond looked from the side for a while and coughed lightly, “I’m still here. You two should behave yourself. You can close the door and make out however you want when you get home.”
Yuliana glanced at Raymond, paused, and stopped exerting force on her hand to resist Christopher. Then she looked to one side, saying, “I’m not leaving. Can you let me go?”
Christopher loosened his grip on her wrist and held her hand. “It’s hot outside. Let’s go in and play cards for a while. I’ll send you home when it’s nighttime.”
After saying that, he took Yuliana’s hand and walked to the place where the rest were playing poker. Raymond watched them leave, stood there for a while, and then followed them at some distance.
He lamented in his heart that romantic relationships were troublesome.
Upon their return, Yuliana met the young woman who talked to Christopher earlier.
The woman was sitting and talking with another older woman, but she couldn’t help but glance at the door. When Christopher took Yuliana in, the woman saw her at a glance.
She stared at Yuliana for a moment while scrutinizing her. Finally, her eyes fell on Yuliana’s face, and she frowned.
Yuliana didn’t notice her immediately. She noticed that someone was looking at her, so she subconsciously looked over and saw her.
At first glance, Yuliana didn’t recognize her as the woman who talked to Christopher earlier.
The woman had her back to her, so Yuliana didn’t see her face.
Seeing her now, Yuliana noticed her face and didn’t notice anything else.
After a while, she only recognized her from the black slip dress.
Seeing Yuliana and Christopher come back together, Xandria, who was playing poker at the poker table, waved her hand and said, “Yuliana, come here and replace me for a while.”
Yuliana withdrew her gaze and walked over, “I don’t know how to play.”
At the poker table, in addition to Xandria and Leonard, the other two were the people whom Raymond had invited over.
They were from Jeahron.
One was called Edward Zimmerman, and the other was Jimmy Wyatt.
The two women also came with them.
Xandria felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She wanted to go to the restroom. She hurriedly got up. pushed Yuliana to the chair, and made her sit down. She said, “It’s okay. Let Christopher teach you how to play.”
Before Yuliana could say anything, Xandria ran away.
Yuliana looked at the cards in front of her and became nervous. She had seen others and Christopher play poker several times. She roughly knew how to play it, but knowing how to play didn’t mean she could play
well.
The player before her happened to have discarded a card, so it was Yuliana’s turn and she drew a card.
She looked at her cards carefully, put in the card she just drew, and then took another card out to discard it.
At this moment, Christopher put back the card in her hand and gave another card to her. “Discard this card.”
Yuliana glanced at him. Her next action seemed like she was deliberately going against him.
She put back the card he said and played the card she took earlier.
As soon as she discarded it, the next player won.
Yuliana was stunned and a little annoyed.
Jimmy, who won because of her, smiled happily, “Mr. Solace, your girlfriend is quite rebellious, isn’t she?” Christopher leaned back lazily against the back of the chair, glanced at him, and said casually, “I like the rebellious girl.”
Later, Christopher didn’t say anything more. He just sat beside her and watched quietly.
There was no doubt that Yuliana lost a lot.
At the beginning of the next game, Xandria hadn’t come back, but Yuliana didn’t want to play anymore. She looked at Christopher and took the initiative to give up her seat, “You’ll play.”
Christopher looked down at her and said, “No.”
He was obviously unhappy and throwing a tantrum.
Yuliana didn’t say anything more and began to play again.
But she was too slow in taking her cards. Every time others finish taking their cards, they had to wait for her. Christopher couldn’t stand it anymore and helped her get the card in front of her.
Jimmy was a little surprised when he saw the scene.
Before today, he hadn’t interacted with Christopher, but after today, he knew that the latter was not a patient and good-tempered person. Yuliana’s previous behavior obviously made Christopher a little displeased, but he didn’t expect that Christopher would take the initiative to help her take the cards.
“Don’t move!” Yuliana protested in a low voice.
Christopher’s face froze and became cold, but in the end, he didn’t lose his cool. Instead, he whispered, “You’re too slow. Didn’t you see that everyone else is waiting for you?”
Yuliana looked up at the people at the poker table and pursed her lips. Then she said nothing and acquiesced in Christopher’s words.
Leonard smiled and said, “Chris, I never thought I’d live to see the day when you become so patient.” He was two months younger than Christopher. Most of the time, he called the latter by his first name, only called him by his nickname when he was teasing him.
Christopher glanced at him coldly and said nothing.
and
At this time, the young woman in a black slip dress came over and stood next to Jimmy, while Christopher was sitting on the other side. She lay on the back of Jimmy’s chair and said in a coy tone,
“Jimmy, I want to play too.”
Jimmy didn’t look back at her. “How can a girl play this?”
The young woman was dissatisfied and said, “Then how can this lady play?”
Jimmy was stumped and couldn’t speak.
The young woman continued to plead with him coyly. Jimmy finally couldn’t stand it and gave up his seat to her after taking his cards, while he stood behind the young woman and looked at her cards.
Later, Jimmy seemed to have found something as he said in surprise, “Hey, Ms. Livingstone and Yocelyn look quite alike. No wonder I found Ms. Livingstone familiar when I saw her for the first time just now.”
Hearing what Jimmy said, Leonard couldn’t help but look back and forth between the two women and found that they did look a little similar.
“I don’t think so,” the young woman subconsciously refuted, obviously unhappy because of this, “Jimmy, is there any problem with your eyes? I’m not related to her, and we’re not born to the same parents. How can we look alike? I look more like my brother.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Her brother was Edward.
This time, she came to Juxshire with Edward on the weekend for a trip.
After saying that, she murmured to herself again.
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud noise was made as something hard hit the poker table, causing Yocelyn to scream in surprise.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Christopher.
Yuliana didn’t know what happened and looked at him in a daze.
Christopher looked at Yocelyn and said, “I didn’t hear what you said just now. Say it again.”
Yocelyn was frightened by his expression. She was so scared that she pursed her lips and didn’t dare to speak. She was afraid that the next moment, something hard would hit her instead of the poker table.
But she was angry and aggrieved. Her eyes were brimming with tears. She looked at Edward and said, “Ed.” Jimmy came back to his senses. Seeing that Yocelyn was almost in tears, he said coldly, “Mr. Solace, calm down. It’s my fault. Yocelyn is too young and ignorant. Don’t mind her.”
Christopher said in a low voice, “Ms. Zimmerman is an adult, isn’t she? Doesn’t she know what she should and shouldn’t say?”
Jimmy didn’t expect Christopher to actually make him look bad, so his face clouded over a little.
The atmosphere was awkward.
