Chapter 798
Sleven shoved Hannah towards the poker table, âBabe, you seem to be on a roll today, why donât you play and III just watchâ
âIâm supposed to go see the light show with Comelia and Rosieâ Hannah didnât want to get involved in the game. She just wanted to hang out with her friends
Steven wasnât too keen on Hannah hanging out with Cornelia alone, so he tried to keep her by his side by all means He didnât want her out of his sight, Tim having a rotten luck today, so unless you want to see me lose my shirt, you gotta playâ
Hannah felt helpless and held all her discontent and struggle within. Rosie didnât know what to say, so she texted Cornelia [Should we try to help Hannah bail out?]
Cornelia responded [Steven is super wary of me. Heâs afraid I might steal his Hannah. If I step in, heâs definitely not letting go
Rosie [What should we do then? The glasshouse on the rooftop is the best spot to watch the light show Hannah has always wished to watch the Riverton light show from there Sheâd be gutted if she missed it now when the timing and location are perfect]
Cornelia didnât want her friend to be upset [ figure something out]
Rosie [What else could you possibly come up with?]
Without answering Rosie, Cornella opened a chat with Jeremy and quickly typed. Thereâs a light show tonight |
Marcus, engrossed in his game, didnât bother checking his phone when it pinged With Cornelia by his side, he didnât think the message could be from her.
Seeing him ignore his phone, Cornelia nudged him. Marcus, holding his cards in one hand, grabbed her with the other, âYou want to play too?â
Cornelia whispered, âWhy arenât you checking your phone?â
âDid you send me a message?â Marcus assumed she had something awkward to tell him, hence the message. He quickly pulled out his phone to check.
To his surprise, the message simply read [Thereâs a light show tonight)
Why couldnât she tell him that in person? Was there a hidden meaning?
Marcus thought for a moment, âDo you want me to watch the light show with you?â
Cornelia, âNo.â
Cornelia added, âHannah was supposed to watch the light show with us, but Steven has her stuck at the poker table. Can you do something to make Steven let her go?â
Marcus leaned in and whispered, âCornelia, you shouldnât meddle in a coupleâs affairs.â
Cornelia muttered, â1â
Marcus continued, âEvery couple has their own way of dealing with things. How do you know this isnât their way of having fun?â
He seemed to make a lot of sense.
The couple had had a little spat today but it wasnât anything senous. Theyâd probably kiss and make up by the end of the night.
