At that moment, Yuri slowly regained his composure, raised both his hands up, and conceded calmly, “My heart can’t help but yearn for such a beautiful woman.”When they reached the billiards area, everyone formed groups amongst themselves.Abigail teamed up with someone called Xander and was against Estelle and Yuri.Yuri rolled his sleeves up and brimmed with enthusiasm as he confidently said, “Estelle, have a seat and watch the show. Watch me slaughter them!”Abigail held on to the billiard stick with a dissatisfied face, “Don’t get too cocky! Xander and I aren’t that weak!” “Are you skilled enough to clear out all the balls in one go?”Abigail mocked him, “Even professional billiard players can’t do that.”“Don’t give me that chance, I won’t hold back today.”At that time, Estelle said in her soft voice, “Since everyone’s so skilled, why don't I start the game? Otherwise, you will all be playing later without giving me a chance.”Yuri naturally agreed, “Don’t worry you can
Skyler never expected to bump into Estelle once again. Of all places, the billiards club.He initially went shopping with Camilla but because he was persistent in asking him when he was going to marry her, he got annoyed. After being pestered and coaxed into buying her a ring, he sent her back and immediately headed to the billiards club.For some reason, Camilla’s voice felt like a curse when she kept asking about their marriage. He only got to enjoy a moment of peace when he silently sneaked out. He found it strange how he was initially so eager to get rid of and cut ties with Estelle. However, that feeling slowly simmered down over time.He thought about it and felt like it could have been the birth of Ayla that softened his heart.However, Estelle was still responsible for his parents’ accident.Back then, the report on the accident was very sloppy. He repeatedly went through the files and the only thing he found was that it stated the collision of both cars led to the de
Yuri was usually a very careless person, what got into him?Someone advised him, “That’s Skyler Flynn! Why are you challenging him?”Yuri smiled, “Of course I know he’s Skyler Flynn, who in this city doesn’t know him? Since I can’t beat him any other way, can’t I at least challenge him at billiards?”Skyler remained cold as usual. “Sorry, I don’t know who you are. There’s no need for a competition.”“Director Flynn, surely you’re not scared, right?”A provocation?Skyler finally took a good look at the young man in front of him. The man was good-looking and the type a lot of girls like. However, he gave off an unsteady, fickle and impatient vibe. “Give me on good reason why I should accept your challenge.”Yuri smiled and looked at Estelle who was not too far away. “I’m pursuing that girl. I only found out that she’s your… ex-wife? Miss Sanders said that she learned billiards from you, so I wanted to see how good your skills are.” The moment he said that everyone present rea
Skyler received it very quickly. “And if you do, what do you want?” “I want my daughter,” Estelle said, “she’s my child whom I carried for ten months and gave birth to. Director Flynn, it’s not like you don’t have a woman with you who could bear children. Why would you take mine away?” “Impossible!” Skyler rejected, “I won’t let my child go.” “What if the child isn’t yours?” Skyler’s gripb on the billiards stick tightened,. “ What did you just say?” Estelle smiled softly. “I don’t want to repeat myself. Director Flynn, you have a new woman and even picked out the ring.”“You’re probably planning on getting married, correct? You’ll have children in the future. My daughter is a newborn. It hasn’t even been a month, a child that young needs her mother.” The news was like a bombshell, even Abigail was stunned, let alone
Estelle nodded, “Thanks.”She leaned down, and it was another beautiful break. Following that, just like the last time, hit by hit, she reduced the balls on the table to two.She stood up and took a deep breath to mentally compose herself. When she leaned down again, she aimed at a very empty angle.Abigail was anxious when she saw that, “Estelle, are you looking at the wrong direction? The two balls are in that direction!”Yuri explained, “Miss Sanders is planning on rebounding the ball at that angle to get both balls in one hit.”“Huh?”“My god…”“Is she that good?”“Isn’t that a big risk? If she fails, those two balls will cost her. Director Flynn could very well turn the tables around…”Even Ross could not bear watching the game. He walked over and held Estelle’s hand. He then pitifully said, “Stellie, you only need one more ball to go in to win, why take the risk?”Estelle raised her eyebrow, not understanding as she asked, “Ross, you’re Skyler’s good friend.”Ross’s
Estelle was momentarily frightened.Yes, she did spend an extravagant amount of money buying the couple’s ring that day, using Sir’s money.Skyler said, “Three million dollars isn’t a small amount of money. Where did you get it if it wasn’t from the Sanders family?”Estelle suddenly felt mocked. The Sanders family?Did the Sanders family still exist? It was Zavier and Sherry’s family, Camilla’s maiden home!Her father passed away and later both she and her mother were kicked out of the house. She still had the Sanders name, but where did she stand within the Sanders family? She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but swallowed the words as they came out.Did she have to explain everything again?She gave Skyler explanations for six years and she was yet to clear up what happened back then. Instead, she only humiliated herself. How was she to explain things again?Furthermore, it would have implicated Sir.Sir pulled her out from the depths of hell and she did not want to
“Skyler that scum… Whatever, you shouldn’t worry, I’ll think of a way to get your daughter back.”Estelle said, “It’s fine, I’ll find a way. I can’t drag you down. If Skyler decides to make a move on your dad’s company, I won’t be able to repay that debt.”Mentioning her family’s company caused Abigail to have some misgivings.For some reason, Skyler was driving very slowly that day. There were not many cars on the road, but he maintained his speed until he finally stopped.It had been over an hour since they departed.In front of them was a simple and old house that had traditional architecture. The walls were painted over, but it still exuded a warm light. It looked quite comforting.A notification sounded on her phone.[Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to get your daughter to you. Don’t fight with Skyler, just leave everything to me.]Sir sent a message.Estelle suddenly felt a lot more relieved.If Sir was willing to lend a hand, then the chances of her daughter returning to
Suddenly, their daughter started to cry.Skyler seemed to have awakened from a dream, “What’s wrong with Ayla? Is she hungry? I’ll go get the milk powder.”He was just about to move when the housekeeper stopped him, “Young master, did you turn stupid from happiness? Ayla’s mother is back today, why would we need milk powder? She should be drinking her mother’s milk!” Estelle’s figure suddenly stiffened.Skyler was also stunned.The housekeeper said, “Come with me Stellie, the master’s room is here.”Estelle had not wanted to go into Skyler’s room, but her daughter’s crying had made her entire heart swell, so she could only thicken her skin and follow the housekeeper into the room.When she went in, the housekeeper headed out and closed the door.Abigail had stopped her car, and stormed inside. When she did not find any trace of Estelle, she started to panic, “Skyler, where did you bring Estelle to!”The warmth Skyler had been soaking in had been shattered by Abigail just like
