What poor acting skills Abbot had.
But at the moment, those turned out to be an advantage.
Faye looked away from Colin and clinked her bottle with Abbot's.
Abbot got near Faye and said, "Faye, why are you in relationship with Colin? Did him force you?"
Although they had known each other for quiet a long time, Faye couldn't open her heart and tell him
everything. "No," she answered simply.
"Then why did you...?"
Faye took a large gulp of beer and said, "I think it's fate."
Fate was an unconvincing but good excuse, and it worked well.
Abbot raised his head to take a drink when casting a defiant glance at Colin, who leaned back on the
chair serenely, fiddling with a lighter.
Noticing Abbot's gaze, Colin replied with a teasing smile.
Somehow, Abbot got panicked and choked on his beer.
Faye handed him a piece of tissue quickly.
Abbot wiped the beer from his mouth with the tissue and said with a low voice, "Faye, I was just
kidding. To be honest, Colin is quite good at something."
Faye smiled faintly. "At what?"
Having no idea of what was Faye's relationship with Colin at present, Abbot said properly, "He can be a
very loyal friend."
"That's true," Faye agreed.
Abbot wanted to continue the conversation, but Colin's creepy gaze really gave him gooseflesh.
He went back to the card table after a small talk with Faye.
"Finished the talk?" Colin squinted at Abbot with a sort of smile on his face.
Abbot rolled his eyes at him. "Are you actually jealous of me talking with her?"
Colin grinned and replied, "You tell me."
"I’m curious. How did you get it through when Faye dated with Hank the past several years? You
seemed to be very cool with it. You even fooled me and Ethan." Abbot risked his life to ask Colin.
Colin snapped the lighter open in his hand. Watching the tongue of flame, he said with a low voice,
"How can you be sure I still like her?"
Abbot said confidently, "Because your taste just doesn't change, like a dog always likes to eat shit."
Colin raised an eyebrow and hissed, "Do you want to die?"
Abbot gave himself a light slap on the face. "Bah! I was wrong. Although you're a bad dog, Faye is
never the shit."
"Then what's she?" Colin asked.
"She should be the owner of the dog," Abbot said.
"Why?" Colin asked.
"Because she'll make you a hundred-percent tame dog," Abbot said.
Hearing that, Colin gazed across at Faye, wearing a tender and charming smile.
After playing another two rounds of cards with Abbot, Colin looked down at his watch and was ready to
go home.
"What's the hurry?" Abbot said.
Colin picked up his coat when saying, "You bachelor know nothing of my life."
Abbot replied brazenly, "Don't underestimate me. You know what, I'm quite desirable to girls."
Colin interrupted, "Are you sure they're interested in you instead of your money?"
Abbot laughed. "You're just jealous of me, aren't you?"
Colin stood up and threw all his winnings on the table, speaking with a clear but not loud voice, "I'll pay
for the next a few hours."
His words were greeted by a big round of applause and praises.
He pulled at his collar shirt with a playful smile on his face.
Seeing Colin rise to his feet, Faye knew he was leaving.
Faye then walked over to him.
Colin handed his coat to her when saying to Abbot, "Ask Ethan out for dinner tomorrow. We'll celebrate
your birthday."
Having Faye nearby, Abbot had to swallow his swearing at Colin. "OK, and you're paying."
Colin chuckled. "No problem. Just drink your fill. If you die of drink, I'll take care of your parents for
you."
Abbot rolled his eyes, "Thank you for your after-sale service."
"You're welcome, my buddy."
Abbot cursed silently, "Cut your crap!"
Outside of the clubhouse, Faye handed Colin his coat and said, "Don't you need it?"
Colin gave her a glance, took out his cigarette box, drew a cigarette out with his lips, and lit it up,
holding his hand around it. "How is your aunt? Abbot's third uncle has come back. I'll let him go to treat
her tomorrow if you want."
Faye had been staring at the dingy yellow light by the road when Colin spoke, and then immediately NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
turned to look at his face.
"What? Are you afraid I would fool you?" Colin gave her a sly grin.
