Chapter 229
The Miraculous Simone Gray
Chapter 229 Is He More Like A Scapegoat?
Jodieâs sudden, seemingly joking words startled Titus, Luca, and Aaron. Titus also understood why Jodie had previously set the stage and emphasized how unlucky she had been recently. He pretended to be stunned and smiled inexplicably. âMy luck is different from yours. Take it; being unlucky wonât do you any good.â
Jodie laughed and said, âMaybe it will be useful. She spoke with a hint of playfulness. âTitus, since you have such good luck, share some with me. Give me some psychological comfort, and maybe I wonât be so unlucky afterward.â
Titus was about to go crazy. Why did Jodie choose him instead of Andrew to take advantage of his good luck? Shouldnât she be looking for Andrew? Was he more like a scapegoat? He became wary in his heart, and the surprise on his face grew stronger.
He even pointed at himself and uttered, âDo I look like I have such good luck? Jodie, how did you figure that out? I canât even keep my job lately. I was fired by the company to appease angry netizens, and the stars I managed were given to other agents.â He sighed. âI was hoping to borrow some good luck from someone.â
Simone was right. Jodie was thinking about their luck. Now, she was asking him for luck. Could it be that his luck had reached the point where it could be exploited? But he felt that he had been quite unlucky recently.
Jodie cursed him inwardly for being stingy when she heard him say this. She didnât let it go. âThen why not give it a try?â She jokingly said, âYou give me some of your luck, and Iâll let you share in my good luck. Maybe youâll be lucky soon.â Sharing a little luck didnât mean borrowing or giving away too much.
But she was planning to take half of Titusâ luck.
This should make up for the weaknesses she had been weakened by before. Titus felt uneasy hearing these words. If it werenât for Simoneâs reminder, he might have agreed without hesitation to Jodieâs words today. The way she looked, it seemed like she was just joking.
Fortunately, that day, he had the idea of watching a show and insisted on going with Harold to find Simone. Otherwise, he didnât know how much of his luck would have been borrowed today. Titus joked.
âThatâs impossible. Iâve been having bad luck lately, and you too. Letâs share it. Otherwise, it would be like adding insult to injury.â
He had been playing with his phone all along. So, when Jodie first suggested it, he sent a message asking Harold to call him. He asked him to say that there was something urgent and they needed to meet. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. He immediately answered and spoke a few words with Harold After hanging up the phone, he stood up and uttered. âHarold needs me for something I need to leave now Leaving Jodie behind, he gave Luca and Aaron a look that said, âGood luck Then he quickly left Sering fitus leave the living room so qui kly fa and Aaron felt like crying litus was stich a jerk, running away like that just as the two of them were about to come up with an excuse to leave as well.
Jodie looked at Luca and said, âLuca, can you share some of your luck with me?â Apart from Titus, Luca had also been distant toward her recently. Even when she had taken the initiative. to apologize to him at the hospital abroad, he still heartlessly refused to visit her. Since Titus had left, it was time to turn to Luca.
Luca was a top singer with a lot of popularity and fans. His luck should be much better than Titus, Luca was speechless. He looked more like a scapegoat than Andrew. He had been. skeptical about borrowing luck before. But now that Jodie was doing this, and it was falling on him, he completely believed it.
If it was just a joke, she shouldnât have brought it up again after talking to Titus. But she came looking for him after Titus left. He wouldnât believe it if there wasnât an intention.
He hesitated for a moment and said, âIâve been having a rough time lately, too. When I appeared on a variety show before, and because you asked me to go find Simone, I was almost criticized to death by the netizens. I even lost a lot of fans. Just like Titus, Iâm having bad luck now.â He added, âI wonât give it to you. Otherwise, if I give you the bad luck and make things worse for you, what should we do?
Jodie was taken aback for a moment, then continued with a considerate smile. âIâm willing to share it with you so you wonât have bad luck anymore.â This time, Luca was smart enough to catch the flaw in her words. She cleverly didnât say it was bad luck. So, it could only be sharing good luck with him.
He looked at Jodie in shock. âAre you saying that I should share my bad luck with you?â Jodie remained silent. She almost couldnât hold back her smile and continued with wordplay. âYes, Iâll share it.â She asked again, âLuca, can you share some of your luck with me?â Luca heard this question again and felt a chilling sensation that was hard to describe.
He looked embarrassed and said, âThen Iâll share my bad luck with you. If you want it, take it.â
Who the hell wants your bad luck? She coaxed. âOkay. If you say youâre willing, Iâll help you.â As long as Luca said yes, his luck could be borrowed by her. The so-called bad luck naturally wouldnât transfer to her. It would only be luck. But it had to be his voluntary consent; even unconscious willingness would do.
Luca and Aaron understood when they saw her staring like that. They had to make someone say they were willing This thing had to be agreed upon personally. Otherwise, it probably wouldnât take effect Luca would only be foolish to say he agreed I already said it just now. You can have all the bad luck He only had one thought in his mind to give her bad luck and not luck He didnât dare to utter words like âwilling or agree Jodie was becoming frustrated. Why was Luca being so stubborn today? Didnât he used to express his love for her? Now, he wanted to share all the misfortune with her. Was that fair? It was too much.
Since she couldnât get anything from Luca anymore, she could only gaze at Aaron. She smiled and said, âThen Aaron, can you share some luck with me?â Aaron was speechless. He couldnât escape either.
Confused, he looked at her and asked, âDidnât Luca give it to you? Jodie, whatâs bothering you today?â
He pretended not to understand and continued, âWhy do you always want us to share our luck with you? And you ask each of us individually.â
Jodie had already figured out how to respond to this. She smiled and uttered, âMy brothers. are all so good to me. I canât favor one over the other. So, I have to ask each of you separately.â
âAaron, didnât you used to say you loved me the most?â Her eyes filled with grievances.
She looked at him and continued to ask, âI was just joking, and you donât even want to play along with me? Can you play a game with me?â She had wanted to ask this earlier. He had promised to always cherish and spoil her, so why couldnât he even say he was willing now?
