Chapter 20
Seeing her like this, the man's eyes lit up with joy. He pushed aside his brother next to him and patted the sofa, "Come, sit here."
Manon didn't go over, she pulled the chair next to her, "I'll sit here, you tell me, what's the bet?"
The man squinted his eyes and looked at her, feeling itchy in his heart.
In the past, he had encountered all kinds of women, including those who pretended to be high and mighty and played hard-to-get with him, but he saw through them all with just one glance. Only this woman in front of him, he was attracted to her with just one glance.
"If you win, we'll give you a few more bottles of the best wine, and you can leave. But if you lose..." The man hesitated before picked up his glass and took a sip, smiling wickedly, "You'll have to take off your clothes, how about that?"
Manon glanced at him and hooked her lips, her tone as indifferent as ever, "Okay."
Louis sat on the side, absent-mindedly swaying his glass of wine, as if he hadn't paid attention to their conversation at all. But the corner of his eye kept glancing at them. When he heard Manon's words, he was instantly furious. He was about to get up and take her away, but he remembered what she had said. His body, which had already stood up, suddenly froze and slowly sat back on the sofa.
Jersey watched on the side, silently drinking his own wine without interrupting.
Manon didn't notice Louis movements and casually played cards with the group of people.
These people didn't have much skill, they relied on luck to get their cards. Manon , on the other hand, silently calculated the remaining cards in her mind. After a few rounds, the man and his group had already ordered several bottles of good wine.
Seeing Manon's calm demeanor,the man became anxious.
Although a bottle of good wine in the bar only cost a few thousand dollars , if they continued like this, it would add up to tens of thousands. Most importantly, what he wanted to see was not this...
"Beauty, you have good card skills," the man smiled, but his smile didn't reach his eyes, "How about we bet something bigger?"
"Whatever," Manon raised her glass and took a few sips, slowly leaning back in her chair, her tone provocative.
The man had never been treated like this before. He poured more wine into Manon glass while looking at Louis , how about this? If you lose, you'll go drink with Mr. Malcolm over there. How about that?" Upon hearing this proposal, Manon's expression froze and she didn't speak for a moment. It was actually Louis who was sitting next to them who spoke up and said, "Sure, but you have to play with me." Originally, the man thought that Louis wouldn't agree, but he unexpectedly did and immediately said, "Beauty, Mr. Malcolm and I have both agreed. And if we win, we'll order ten more bottles of wine. How about that?" "Okay." Perhaps in other areas, Louis might have had the upper hand, but Manon was confident that she was better than him at playing cards. However, just a few minutes later, Manon sat next to Louis with an unhappy expression and asked, "Which bottle do you want, Mr. Malcolm?" "Any is fine." Louis looked at Manon with deep, unfathomable eyes. Manon rolled her eyes, picked up a bottle of wine and poured it into Louis glass, then raised her glass and handed it to him. "Feed me," the man said lightly. Seeing him taking advantage of her, Manon's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, but she still complied with his request and raised the glass to his lips. Seeing Manon's appearance, Louis felt a surge of anger in his heart. Clearly, he was the one who asked the little girl to do this, but when he saw her actually do it, he couldn't help but feel angry... Louis suddenly stood up, picked up the little girl and held her in his arms,and strode out of the private room, leaving everyone else staring at each other in the room. Seeing the woman he had his eye on being taken away by Louis , the man was filled with resentment and went to sit next to jersey , asking him, "Brother Hersey , what does Mr. Malcolm mean by this?" Jersey glanced at his clueless friend and snorted coldly, "They're just playing around as a couple."
Couple?!
His face turned pale in an instant when he heard the rumors of Louis recent marriage. He remembered what he had just done, and even had feelings for Manon. If Louis found out, he would be done for!Meanwhile, Manon was obediently being held in Louis arms, without struggling, and was placed in the back seat of the car.
Louis instructed the driver to drive, turned his head to teach the little girl next to him a lesson, but when he turned his head, he saw that her face was flushed and her eyes were unfocused.
"Manon ?" Louis was surprised and called her softly.
Manon felt dizzy and weak all over her body. She hadn't drunk much alcohol and didn't pay attention to the degree of the alcohol. At this moment, the aftereffect came, and she had no strength. When she heard Louis calling her, she looked over, "Hmm?"
Realizing that the little girl was probably drunk, Louis subconsciously pinched her cheek, but he realized what he was doing after a while and quickly withdrew his hand.
After a while, looking at the little girl's red face, Louis suddenly thought of something, and his eyes sank.
If he wasn't here tonight, the consequences would be unimaginable...
With this thought, Louis face turned black again. However, seeing the little girl's helpless appearance, he lost his temper. When they arrived at the villa, he carried her to the bed.
Unexpectedly, the person who had been obedient all the way struggled and pushed Louis away when she sat up.
"What are you doing?" She looked wary and defensive, but her tone was soft and had no deterrent power.
Louis heart moved, and his eyes softened. He felt that she was cute and lovely.
He walked over and placed the pajamas next to her "Be good, change your clothes yourself."
"No, I don't want to change," Manon tightly grabbed her collar, her tone very childish, "And you're already dirty, don't touch me."
Hearing this, Louis couldn't help but cry and laugh, "Where am I dirty?"
"I called you and a woman said you were taking a shower, did you sleep with her?" Manon pouted slightly, her eyes full of stubbornness.
A hint of confusion flashed in Louis eyes. What woman? He couldn't remember.
After a moment, he couldn't recall, but the expression on the girl's face made him laugh, "Are you jealous? Little jealous girl?"
Manon'a head was dizzy. She looked at Louis in front of her, who slowly turned into two people. She slowly sat up, holding Louis cheeks with both hands, looking serious, "But, you just let someone pour you a drink, so you're dirty!"
Looking at the girl's face so close to him, Louis breath stopped for a moment.
He stepped back a bit, pulling the two of them apart, and then comforted her in a gentle voice, "I didn't let them touch me, I'm still clean. Can we go to sleep now, little drunkard?"
Manon heard his words, but didn't know if she really understood them. She just smiled at Louis and talked a lot before falling asleep.
Sleeping Manon was much morewell-behaved than when she was awake. Louis helped her change into her pajamas without any distractions, then went to wash up briefly before lying down next to her.
Looking at the soundly sleeping girl next to him, Louis hugged her waist, holding her in his arms, and slowly closed his eyes.
