Chapter 210 Biting Off More Than You Can Chew At that moment, a basketball suddenly flew toward them. Gilbert caught the ball in his long, slender han ds and threw it back. Despite him being far away, the ball went cleanly through the hoop. It bounced on the ground a few times before landing in the hands of a boy who was around five or six years old.
A woman with delicate features ran up to the boy and pulled him away. She was panting as she anxiou sly said, âBe careful. You almost hit someone.â
The little boy stared at Gilbert. Under the light, the boyâs slightly familiar face showed a touch of maturit y and seriousness that children of the same age did not have.
âYouâ¦â The little boy pointed at Gilbert, âYou play good.â
âYouâre rather cheeky, arenât you, little guy?â Davian looked at the boy and said, his hands on his hips.
However, the little boy ignored him and kept on staring at Gilbert. âCome play with me,â he said.
âOh, this is outrageous. Look at you. Youâre not even tall enough to reach Mr. Kooperâs waist, yet you w ant to play a game with him? Youâre biting off more than you can chew, kid,â Davian said.
Mia crossed her arms around her chest with no intention of stopping the boy, as if she was waiting for a show.
âWeâll see whoâs biting off more than they can chew,â said the little boy.
Davian laughed. He was infuriated. âLook at this arrogant kid. He probably hasnât lost anything in his lif e yet. Come on. We shouldnât waste our time on him. Letâs go,â he said to Gilbert while pointing at the li ttle boy.
âAlright, letâs play.â Gilbert took off his coat and tossed it to Davian.
Davian was stunned. âSir, this is silly,â he said.
âDonât underestimate him. Blake plays very well,â Mia said, walking over gracefully with a cigarette in h er hand.
Davian was astounded by her beauty. He closed his eyes and thought to himself, âHow can someone p ossess such beauty and grace?â
Gilbert rolled up his sleeves to reveal his muscular forearms. Standing on the basketball court together, they looked like father and son . Compared to Jensenâs gentlemanliness and elegance, Gilbertâs disposition was cold and icy. He had a stern look on his face even when he was just playing basketball.
The motion of the ball created a rhythm on the court. Davian, who was annoyed at first, opened his mouth in shock when he saw how the little
boy stole the ball, dribbled, and shot it through the hoop. âI told you he was good,â Mia said while glancing at him sideways.
Gilbert was surprised by the little boyâs quick movements. However, no matter how good he was, he was still a little boy, and he lost a few rounds to
Gilbert.
The boy was not happy with the outcome. It was as if he had never lost a game before. âAgain! â he said.
Gilbert held the ball in one hand and put the other hand on his hips. His languid posture was alluring und The boy held the ball in his hands, his face displeased. Gilbert found the boy interesting. âHe looks famil Gilbertâs heart softened when he saw that the little boy was unhappy. âYou play great, kid. Youâll be incre with a smile.
âSo what if Iâm good? I still lost.â
âDoes winning or losing matter?â Gilbert pinched the boyâs cheeks and said, âYou donât have to take it to In a minivan not far away, Kisa stared at the scene on the basketball court in shock.
