Chapter 40 Playing Games

Issac Linberton gave a bitter smile, "You always bring up the topic I don't want to talk about."

"It seems like you didn't succeed in chasing her."

Issac Linberton sighed with a touch of bitterness in his voice, "She got married."

"And you're not the groom."

He gave a cold stare to Edison Yates, "Does your girlfriend know how snarky you are?"

"..."

Issac Linberton poured himself a glass of water, but before he could drink it, Edison Yates spoke again, "I remember a medical family's daughter who was very interested in you."

"Stop it."

"Has she turned you down too?"

"That medical family's daughter already has someone she likes."

Edison Yates made a meaningful "oh" sound, "Poor guy, even the backup is gone."

Issac Linberton took a sip of water, put the glass down, and calmly retorted, "There's still your sister."

Edison Yates's smile suddenly froze, and he slowly turned his face to look at Issac Linberton in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Your sister hasn't come back to the country yet?"

"You and my sister..."

"Curious?"

"..."

"I'm not telling you."

Edison Yates was speechless.

Gwenyth Lovelace remained silent, listening to the two men bickering, her thoughts drifting away unconsciously.

In her mind, there always flashed a scene from three years ago when she went to congratulate Edison Yates on his graduation at school, and he ignored her presence.

At that time, Edison Yates's attitude could be described as cold and indifferent, which left her feeling confused.

He ignored her and pretended not to recognize her. She didn't have the courage to approach him, so she could only watch him from afar until he disappeared, and then she silently left.

Afterward, she thought about it and realized that it had been a year since she moved out of the Yates famliy's house, so Edison Yates might have forgotten about her.

Not long ago, when she unexpectedly met Edison Yates again, he asked her a question: "Have we met before?"

At that time, her answer was that they hadn't met before.

She couldn't forget the way Edison Yates ignored her. He didn't even remember her, why bother to embarrass herself?

Did she have to say that they had met and lived under the same roof for fifteen years?

Even now, Edison Yates still pretended not to recognize her...

She was lost in thought when Edison Yates handed her a menu.

She looked up and found that the server had already come in and was ready to take their order.

She randomly ordered two dishes and handed the menu to the server.

Edison Yates could tell that she was absent-minded, he reached out and put his arm around her shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Your complexion doesn't look good, are you feeling unwell?"

She squeezed out a smile to Edison Yates, "No, I'm fine."

Edison Yates didn't ask anything else, he withdrew his arm and resumed chatting with Lu Issac Linberton.

"Taking a break from a heartbreak, aren't you going to give yourself a vacation?"

Issac Linberton felt that this sounded very awkward, "I didn't have a heartbreak."

It was a feeling that ended before it even began, it was one-sided love on his part.

"Take a few days to recuperate and then go back to the Linberton Group."

This time, he would directly take up the position of CEO of the Linberton Group, taking over his father's role.

"Workaholic."

He chuckled and retorted, "And you're not?"

Edison Yates laughed along, "Yes, I am."

The two of them bantered back and forth, while Gwenyth Lovelace just listened quietly without interrupting.

After the meal, Gwenyth Lovelace didn't say much and was too quiet. Edison Yates sensed that she was upset and wanted to take her out for some fun.

"Let's go to John Hawe's place."

When Issac Linberton remembered John Hawe, he laughed, "Sure, he doesn't even show up when he knows I'm back, is he too busy?"

"Busy picking up girls."

"Old habits die hard."

Edison Yates laughed and hugged Gwenyth Lovelace beside him, leading her out of the private room.

When they arrived at the Nightcharm Club, it was almost ten o'clock.

John Hawe was already high and sent a private room number to Edison Yates on WhatsApp, but didn't respond further.

When Gwenyth Lovelace followed Edison Yates and Issac Linberton into the private room, she saw Nancy Shandy sitting next to John Hawe, smiling brightly.

There were only the two of them in the private room, the music was low and the lighting was dim.

John Hawe was holding a glass of wine and pouring drinks for Nancy Shandy

Nancy Shandy had a smile on her face, "Johnny, I really can't drink anymore. I have to shoot tomorrow. Please let me off."

"You've only had three glasses."

"I can't handle my liquor."

She acted cute, and John Hawe's smile grew even wider when he looked up and saw Edison Yates andIssac Linberton walk into the room. He put down his glass and stood up to greet them.

Just as Issac Linberton was about to speak, John Hawe walked over and gave him a big hug.

"So enthusiastic?"

John Hawe laughed heartily and immediately let go of Isaac Linberton, clenched his fist and lightly punched Isaac Linberton in the chest, "Finally know you're back, what about the girl you were chasing?"

Edison Yates said, "He didn't get her."

Issac Linberton helplessly rubbed his forehead, "You guys can stop now."

If they didn't stop, they would probably talk about it for a year or two as tea time conversation.

"Mr. Linberton, you're back."

Nancy Shandy who was on the sofa recognized Issac Linberton and walked over immediately, "Do you remember me?"

Issac Linberton nodded and smiled, "I do."

Nancy Shandy public relationship with Edison Yates had made headlines and caused a stir. It was hard for Issac Linberton to forget

He turned to look at Edison Yates and Gwenyth Lovelace, feeling the atmosphere suddenly becoming a bit awkward.

"Let's arrange another private room."

He said to John Hawe.

"It's all right here, we're all friends."

John Hawe pushed him towards the sofa, went out to call the waiter, to take out the bottles of wine stored here by Edison Yates and Issac Linberton.

It seemed like they were planning to get drunk tonight.

Gwenyth Lovelace sat down with Edison Yates on the sofa, feeling uneasy all over. Especially when Nancy Shandy looked at her, even though Nancy Shandy had a smile on her face, Gwenyth Lovelace felt a chill down her spine.

"You're still taking antibiotics, you can't drink."

She reminded Edison Yates in a soft voice.

His arm draped over her, holding her close, his handsome face almost touching hers. "Then help me drink."

"I'll be the one feeling sick if I drink too much, who's going to take care of me?"

"I'll take care of you."

"..."

He was clearly using this as an excuse to try to get her drunk, so he could take advantage of her once she was drunk.

"I can't be the only one drinking with a patient here, can I?"

He leaned in close to her ear, his lips grazing her earlobe as he lightly bit it.

His warm breath, laced with a hint of minty fragrance, sprayed onto her neck, making her feel a little tingly.

She shrunk her neck and tried to move to the side, wanting to get away from him, but he held her tightly and she couldn't move.

Seeing the two of them being so close together made Nancy Shandy's blood boil.

Suppressing her rage, she picked up her glass and sat between Edison Yates and John Hawe.

"Johnny, let's play a fun game."

Intentionally raised her voice, afraid that Edison Yates wouldn't hear her.

John Hawe loved to play games and was immediately interested. "What game?"

After thinking for a moment, Nancy Shandy took out a tissue from the box and bit on one corner of it, giving a seductive smile toJohn Hawe. John Hawe immediately understood what game she wanted to play.

He had played this game before.

He reached out and patted Edison Yates, "Stop being all lovey-dovey, let's play a game."

But Edison Yates wasn't interested. "I don't want to play."

"Let's play, liven up the atmosphere."
