Chapter 1025 Truth (9)
The little one walked out of the room with an expectant look on his face, followed by a resigned Rose. Rose wanted to stay in the room, but who would have thought that her daughter would be interested in this? In the end, she couldn't resist the little one's pleading and had to go along with her daughter.
Soon enough, they arrived at the exclusive dart-playing venue. As soon as they walked in, a server approached them and asked, "May I help you with something?" (C) content.
"I'll have some juice,” Leah said with a smile at the server girl. She was looking forward to seeing how her dad would react later.
The three adults didn't order anything and so the server left.
Henry looked meaningfully at Elliot before teasingly turning his gaze towards Rose. "Little nanny, do you have a boyfriend?”
Rose gave Henry a faint glance but didn't answer him. Henry loved pushing people's buttons so not answering was often the best response. But Henry persisted and took two steps closer to her. "Little nanny,” he said again, “What do you think about my hot spring resort's scenery?”
Rose felt helpless but replied indifferently, "It's pretty good.” The layout of this hot spring resort was very well done: it had an antique yet rustic feel that made it feel like such a pleasant place.
Unfortunately for Rose, she couldn't afford any extra time here right now because the only reason she stayed by Elliot's side was to get evidence proving her brother's innocence.
As she pondered, they entered a private booth where Henry continued harassing Rose. "Hey, little nanny," he said while showing off his darts skills. "I'm telling you my dart throwing technique is really good."
"Hmm," replied Rose coolly without any expression on her pretty face whatsoever While flirting with her, Henry occasionally glanced over towards Elliot, wondering if he cared about this woman who looked similar to Rose or not! At that moment, there was another knock on their door, which signaled that their darts had arrived!
"Little nanny, watch carefully! Let me show off!" exclaimed Henry, casually walking over towards where their darts were placed before picking up one himself!
The dart hit the bullseye, scoring a perfect ten.
Henry was extremely satisfied and immediately moved closer to Rose.
"How about that? Am I impressive?" he said with a smug look.
"Mm," Rose responded in a calm tone, her expression still devoid of emotion.
As her voice trailed off, Elliot's expression, standing not far away, darkened.
After Henry finished speaking, he gave Elliot a meaningful glance and continued, "You tell me, who's more impressive, me or Elliot?” Rose's lips curved slightly, and she uttered a sentence in an indifferent tone. "I don't know."
As soon as her words fell, Elliot, who had been standing nearby. took action.
With long strides, he swiftly approached a waiter, gracefully picked up a dart, and nonchalantly threw it.
His movements were graceful, and. coupledwith his casual expression, it wasilike watching a refined ~ painting come to life. =~
The dart soared through the air and. headed straight for the bullseye, ultimately pushing Henry's dart; which was lodged in the center, off the mark! . to
Having executed the sequence of actions with remarkable ease, Elliot turned his gaze to Rose.
But Rose remained as cold as ever.
Leah, however, cheered for the performance. "Wow, Elliot. you're amazing! Bullseye!"
Observing Elliot's expression, Henry sighed helplessly.
He could sense Elliot's jealousy.
Otherwise, Elliot wouldn't have intentionally knocked his dart off target like that
In the next moment, Elliot's serious voice resonated. “You lost."
For some reason, Henry felt that his tone was a bit petulant
He immediately put on a pretense of disbelief and loudly challenged, "If you're capable, let's up the stakes!” "How do you propose we raise the stakes?"
Elliot's face still carried that indifferent expression.
Henry suggested, "If you win the
next round, I'll give you half the oS shares of this hot spring resort: How aboilt that?" Swnovel.net =
Upon hearing this, Rose furrowed her eyebrows slightly, disliking Henry even more. It was just a wager, yet he had escalated it to such an extent. He truly was a playboy. Elliot arched an eyebrow, calmly asking, "And what do you want in return?”
"I want this little nanny!"
