Chapter 746 Could She Win (Part Three) (1/2)

”Master,” said Molly, ”just imagine how humiliating it will be if you lose.” Then a cunning smile appeared on her face, taunting her master.

”It's one thing to be confident,” said Chester, unaffected. ”But conceit is a different matter.”

Her smile widened. ”We'll see.”

While unmoving, Chester said in a nonchalant voice, ”Whether you go back for him or not today, it depends on your performance in this game. There won't be another round.”

”Master, I can't wait any longer.” The smile that had been on her face earlier had disappeared, replaced by a serious look. ”It's been two years. Many things can happen during that span of time. It would be impractical to take longer than that.”

The air grew intense in the room. A lot of big decisions were going to be made in the next few minutes.

Meanwhile, Vincent leaned against the wall outside, his arms crossed over his chest while he fixed his eyes on the closed door. Despite being still, the look on his face revealed that he was just as anxious as Molly. Although his opinion of her had changed, going back to XK Intelligence Agency was his sole goal, and it all depended on what was happening in the other room.

Mark, who was playing a game on the iPad while seated on the sofa, noticed the man's demeanor. Without looking up from the new game that Ling had recommended recently, a game that she said was more difficult than all the games he had played so far, he said, ”Vincent, don't worry. Mommy is going to win.”

Frowning, Vincent looked at the child. ”Chester was the best card sharp while your mom had only been learning the art of cheating for half a year.” True as that might be, the child did not show any sign of worry.

”You're right,” said Mark, still playing the game. ”So normally, she would lose against a great opponent. But today is special. She will win. What Uncle Chester wants is for Mommy to go back and trouble Papa Brian. He isn't really cultivating a great card sharp.” Then he paused, his fingers swiftly running over the screen. ”Oh, no,” he said distractedly. ”I win again. I was expecting this one to be interesting.” Shaking his head in disappointment, he then looked at Vincent for the first time and said, ”Vincent, let's go pack and book the earliest air ticket to A City.” With that, he stood up and left the room.

For a moment, the young boy reminded Vincent of Brian as a kid when he had just been brought to XK Intelligence Agen

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
