Charles stared at the neon sign that reads Night Colorsss and laughed out loud, “Who told you that I took you here to find prostitutes?”Maria was embarrassed and pouted, “Isn’t it? Look at the decorations and this flashy neon sign that gives off suggestive vibes. It would be strange if it is not.”Hearing that, Charles realized that she had never been to a night club or hung out at night before.It appeared that his little wife was still quite pure.“You are right.”Charles chuckled and grabbed her petite hand, “Let’s go get you a man.”“What?”Maria was startled and turned to run away, but her hand was tightly gripped by Charles. It was impossible for her to run away.Overwhelmed with embarrassment and annoyance, Maria remembered that Mia had once mentioned that Charles did not like women. This thought spurred some peculiar imagery in her head.Could it be… that Charles really did not like women?He could enjoy it himself, but why did he have to drag her along with him? It was crazy
Maria suddenly had interest, "Sure, tell me about it."Ben chuckled mischievously. When he was about to speak, he suddenly felt two cold gazes on his face. He was scared and quickly turned away.Maria turned her head and saw Charles warning gaze. It seemed that Mia wasn't wrong in saying that Charles didn't like women."We've arrived. This is it."Ben pointed to a beautifully crafted pool table, glancing at Charles, "Haven't played in years, right? Want to have a round?"Charles raised an eyebrow, extended his arm, and immediately someone respectfully handed him a pool cue, "It seems that I haven't made you fail inyears, and you're longing for it.""Hey!"Ben picked up his own special pool cue and argued, "Young Master Smith, let me tell you, in the years you've been gone, I've been practicing every day. I've been waiting for you to come back, so I can cleanse myself of my past shame. Today, I'll let you witness the power of the PoolPrince of San Diego firsthand!"Charles smiled and
Maria looked towards the woman. They were about the same age. She was stylish and tall, looking down at Maria disdainfully with slanted eyes.Maria was sure that she didn't know this woman, so she couldn't understand why she suddenly attacked her.Ben frowned and looked at the woman standing next to him, "Angel, watch your manners. This is my buddy's wife. Be polite!"Angel scoffed, "Young Master Thomas, Mia is pretty confident. She doesn't need you to speak for her."Upon hearing that, Ben realized that something must have happened between Angel and Mia before. Angel wasn't his girlfriend. She was justsomeone he paid to accompany him to play pool when he wasn't busy. They weren't close.So naturally, he sided with Mia."Enough. Don't be so sarcastic. I paid you to accompany me, not to see your attitude!"Angel pursed her lips. Ben paid her, so she dared not offend him. But she was still unhappy.Seeing Maria staring at her, Angel scornfullysmirked, walked over to Maria and raised h
Charles’ joy bloomed as he gazed into Maria’s eyes, adorned with a captivating smile.He raised his hand. In front of everyone, he pinched her soft, white cheek gently.The smile on his lips widened. “If we lose, you will leave it to my discretion back home!”Despite his harsh words, his actions were gentle. Angel looked at Charles’ affection for ‘Mia’ with jealousy, her eyes turning red.Why was Mia blessed with a wealthy stepfather and the chance to marry Charles, a handsome and wealthy man?Besides, wasn’t it rumored that Charles did not like women?What magic did Mia possess to make this man love her to this extent?Watching Maria wince in pain and then being enveloped by Charles’ embrace,Angel clenched her teeth. “Are you sure you want to bet?”Maria nodded in Charles’ arms, smiling, “I want to bet.”Angel didn't want to watch Mia and Charles showing off their love any second longer. She picked up the pool cue and turned around, “If you want to bet, let's start!”However, Mari
Charles looked at Maria in surprise. He was confident in his own skills. If Maria started the game, even if he couldn't pocket all the balls, he was confident of pocketing at least half. But Maria wanted him to start it. She might hand over their only chance of winning to their opponents.Seeing his look, Maria smiled. She raised her hand to pat his shoulder, “Don't worry, hit hard. Leave the rest to me.”Charles, “...”Shouldn't such domineering and confident words be his lines?Maria’s fingers squeezed his shoulder hard, "Go on. Remember to hit hard."So she liked it rough...Huh...Charles chuckled softly, taking his cue and walking to the pool table.A glance at the rack, he took the cue ball. Then he placed it directly on the edge of the table, using the cue ball to aim for the middle of the rack's slope. Afterwards, he bent, his left hand supporting the cue, his eyes aiming for the middle of the stack of red balls. Suddenly, his right hand exerted force. With a ‘boom’, after the
Charles' eyes never left Maria from the beginning to the end.The confident smile she had after she scored, her grip on the pool stick, no less masculine than a man, and her decisive shots each time, all deeply attracted his gaze.The current Maria was dazzling in his eyes, even more fascinating than when he first saw Mia playing the piano on stage.A girl so confident and genuine was precisely his type.Seeing that all the red balls on the pool table had been potted, the game was already decided. But Maria had no intention to stop playing.Looking at the colored balls on the pool table, Ben shook his head, "Mia, the position of this yellow ball and the white ball is too tricky. Why don't you take a break and let us take over?"Those men watching by the side also nodded in agreement."Yeah, the white and yellow balls are both close to the left side of the table. And the yellow ball is a bit farther away. It's hard to pot...""Although Mia just potted two spinning balls, this ball obvi
Angel's face flushed, then turned pale.Just having Charles around was enough to turn her world upside down, let alone that this place was filled with the rich heirs of San Diego.She stood there helplessly, then her eyes welled up with sudden tears, which rolled down her cheeks."Young Master Smith, I'm sorry, I got very much carried away just now. I shouldn't have done that..."Charles interrupted her coldly, "Pick it up!"Upon hearing that, Angel bent to pick up the card she had dropped, then offered it to Charles with both hands.Charles didn't even look at it and suddenly softened his voice, "Mia...""Hmm?" Maria looked up at him, "What?"With a deep gaze, Charles sternly stared at her, "Throw it back!"Maria was never a saint. From the moment Angel saw her, she had ill intentions towards her.Just then, this card hitting her face really hurt!Besides, she knew that if she didn't throw it back today, this drama wouldn't end.She went around under Mia’s name. If it caused a sensat
Ben gently nudged Charles' shoulder with his elbow, "Charles, I'm really envious of you."Charles raised an eyebrow, with a smug smile on his lips.Ben didn't see Charles' content expression. His eyes were firmly staring at Maria, "Mia is beautiful, kind and talented. This wife of yours is definitely a worthy one."At this moment, he saw that Maria put her mobile phone in her bag and walked away directly without even glancing at Charles. He laughed out loud, "Ha-ha-ha, Young Master Smith, Mia is good at everything, but her memory is bad, ha-ha- ha..."Charles was immediately displeased. His hawkish gaze swept across Ben's face.Ben quickly recoiled with a dry laugh, then backed away at once."Um..." He picked up the pool cue lying next tohim, and gave a placating smile to Charles, "Should we... play another round?"Charles gave him a cold look, pointed to the pool cue Maria had just used and said, "Don't let anyone else use it. It's now exclusive to my wife!"Tsk, tsk, tsk...Ben tho
