Chapter 40 ying Games
Issac Linberton gave a bitter smile, "You always bring up the topic I don''t want to talk about."
"It seems like you didn''t seed in chasing her."
Issac Linberton sighed with a touch of bitterness in his voice, "She got married."
"And you''re not the groom."
He gave a cold stare to Edison Yates, "Does your girlfriend know how snarky you are?"
"..."
Issac Linberton poured himself a ss of water, but before he could drink it, Edison Yates spoke
again, "I remember a medical family''s daughter who was very interested in you."
"Stop it."
"Has she turned you down too?"
"That medical family''s daughter already has someone she likes."
Edison Yates made a meaningful "oh" sound, "Poor guy, even the backup is gone."
Issac Linberton took a sip of water, put the ss down, and calmly retorted, "There''s still your
sister."
Edison Yates''s smile suddenly froze, and he slowly turned his face to look at Issac Linberton in
disbelief, "What did you say?"
"Your sister hasn''te back to the country yet?"
"You and my sister..."
"Curious?"
"..."
"I''m not telling you."
Edison Yates was speechless.
Gwenyth Lovce remained silent, listening to the two men bickering, her thoughts drifting away
unconsciously.
In her mind, there always shed a scene from three years ago when she went to congratte
Edison Yates on his graduation at school, and he ignored her presence.
At that time, Edison Yates''s attitude could be described as cold and indifferent, which left her feeling
confused.
He ignored her and pretended not to recognize her. She didn''t have the courage to approach him,
so she could only watch him from afar until he disappeared, and then she silently left.
Afterward, she thought about it and realized that it had been a year since she moved out of the
Yates famliy''s house, so Edison Yates might have forgotten about her.
Not long ago, when she unexpectedly met Edison Yates again, he asked her a question: "Have we
met before?"
At that time, her answer was that they hadn''t met before.
She couldn''t forget the way Edison Yates ignored her. He didn''t even remember her, why bother to
embarrass herself?
Did she have to say that they had met and lived under the same roof for fifteen years?
Even now, Edison Yates still pretended not to recognize her...
She was lost in thought when Edison Yates handed her a menu.
She looked up and found that the server had alreadye in and was ready to take their order.
She randomly ordered two dishes and handed the menu to the server.
Edison Yates could tell that she was absent-minded, he reached out and put his arm around her
shoulder.
"What''s wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Yourplexion doesn''t look good, are you feeling unwell?"
She squeezed out a smile to Edison Yates, "No, I''m fine."
Edison Yates didn''t ask anything else, he withdrew his arm and resumed chatting with Lu Issac
Linberton.
"Taking a break from a heartbreak, aren''t you going to give yourself a vacation?"
Issac Linberton felt that this sounded very awkward, "I didn''t have a heartbreak."
It was a feeling that ended before it even began, it was one-sided love on his part.
"Take a few days to recuperate and then go back to the Linberton Group."
This time, he would directly take up the position of CEO of the Linberton Group, taking over his
father''s role.
"Workaholic."
He chuckled and retorted, "And you''re not?"
Edison Yatesughed along, "Yes, I am."
The two of them bantered back and forth, while Gwenyth Lovce just listened quietly without
interrupting.

After the meal, Gwenyth Lovce didn''t say much and was too quiet. Edison Yates sensed that she
was upset and wanted to take her out for some fun.
"Let''s go to John Hawe''s ce."
When Issac Linberton remembered John Hawe, heughed, "Sure, he doesn''t even show up when
he knows I''m back, is he too busy?"
"Busy picking up girls."
"Old habits die hard."
Edison Yatesughed and hugged Gwenyth Lovce beside him, leading her out of the private
room.
When they arrived at the Nightcharm Club, it was almost ten o''clock.
John Hawe was already high and sent a private room number to Edison Yates on WhatsApp, but
didn''t respond further.
When Gwenyth Lovce followed Edison Yates and Issac Linberton into the private room, she saw
Nancy Shandy sitting next to John Hawe, smiling brightly.
There were only the two of them in the private room, the music was low and the lighting was dim.
John Hawe was holding a ss of wine and pouring drinks for Nancy Shandy
Nancy Shandy had a smile on her face, "Johnny, I really can''t drink anymore. I have to shoot
tomorrow. Please let me off."
"You''ve only had three sses."
"I can''t handle my liquor."
She acted cute, and John Hawe''s smile grew even wider when he looked up and saw Edison Yates
andIssac Linberton walk into the room. He put down his ss and stood up to greet them.
Just as Issac Linberton was about to speak, John Hawe walked over and gave him a big hug.
"So enthusiastic?"
John Haweughed heartily and immediately let go of Isaac Linberton, clenched his fist and lightly
punched Isaac Linberton in the chest, "Finally know you''re back, what about the girl you were
chasing?"
Edison Yates said, "He didn''t get her."
Issac Linberton helplessly rubbed his forehead, "You guys can stop now."
If they didn''t stop, they would probably talk about it for a year or two as tea time conversation.
"Mr. Linberton, you''re back."
Nancy Shandy who was on the sofa recognized Issac Linberton and walked over immediately, "Do
you remember me?"
Issac Linberton nodded and smiled, "I do."
Nancy Shandy public rtionship with Edison Yates had made headlines and caused a stir. It was
hard for Issac Linberton to forget
He turned to look at Edison Yates and Gwenyth Lovce, feeling the atmosphere suddenly
bing a bit awkward.
"Let''s arrange another private room."
He said to John Hawe.
"It''s all right here, we''re all friends."
John Hawe pushed him towards the sofa, went out to call the waiter, to take out the bottles of wine
stored here by Edison Yates and Issac Linberton.
It seemed like they were nning to get drunk tonight.
Gwenyth Lovce sat down with Edison Yates on the sofa, feeling uneasy all over. Especially when
Nancy Shandy looked at her, even though Nancy Shandy had a smile on her face, Gwenyth
Lovce felt a chill down her spine.
"You''re still taking antibiotics, you can''t drink."
She reminded Edison Yates in a soft voice.
His arm draped over her, holding her close, his handsome face almost touching hers. "Then help
me drink."
"I''ll be the one feeling sick if I drink too much, who''s going to take care of me?"
"I''ll take care of you."
"..."
He was clearly using this as an excuse to try to get her drunk, so he could take advantage of her
once she was drunk.
"I can''t be the only one drinking with a patient here, can I?"
He leaned in close to her ear, his lips grazing her earlobe as he lightly bit it.
His warm breath,ced with a hint of minty fragrance, sprayed onto her neck, making her feel a little
tingly.
She shrunk her neck and tried to move to the side, wanting to get away from him, but he held her
tightly and she couldn''t move.
Seeing the two of them being so close together made Nancy Shandy''s blood boil.
Suppressing her rage, she picked up her ss and sat between Edison Yates and John Hawe.
"Johnny, let''s y a fun game."
Intentionally raised her voice, afraid that Edison Yates wouldn''t hear her.
John Hawe loved to y games and was immediately interested. "What game?"
After thinking for a moment, Nancy Shandy took out a tissue from the box and bit on one corner of
it, giving a seductive smile toJohn Hawe. John Hawe immediately understood what game she
wanted to y.
He had yed this game before.
He reached out and patted Edison Yates, "Stop being all lovey-dovey, let''s y a game."
But Edison Yates wasn''t interested. "I don''t want to y."
"Let''s y, liven up the atmosphere."
