Chapter 258
Crystal looked at the target and then at Corey.
Corey said, “But I’m still better at it.”
Crystal was so angry that her eyes turned red. “I won’t play with you anymore!”
“All right, all right. You’re not as good as others, and yet you’re throwing a tantrum.” Corey pulled her
back. “Your hands are swollen. I’ll apply a cold compress to them.”
Crystal said, “I’m going to look for my brother. I don’t need your help.”
Corey pointed to the side. “Their match has become intense. Are you sure?”
Crystal took a look and saw that the group of boys’ desire to win had been completely provoked. There
was also a group of people around cheering for them. It was so lively that one would think. that they
were competing in Olympics.
“…” Crystal blew on her hands. “Okay.”
Corey tilted his head and said, “Let’s go this way.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the lounge, the waitress brought over some ice and an ice pack. Just as she was about to apply the
cold compress to Crystal’s hands, Corey raised his hand and motioned for her to leave.
Corey personally used tweezers to put the ice cubes into the ice pack, and then put them on Crystal’s
palm. He said, “The deal is over.”
Crystal took the phone with her other hand and typed the address on her note. “I bought it here.” Corey,
“Send it to me through WhatsApp.”
He took out his mobile phone and showed his QR code. “Here.”
Crystal added him. When she saw that his display picture was a furry cat, she was very happy. “Your
display picture is a cat, and my display picture is also a cat!”
Hearing this, Corey took the phone and saw a new message from her. He clicked it open and saw the
user’s name, Devil. The user’s display picture was a tiger with narrowed eyes and a fierce face, saying,
“If you don’t get lost now, I’ll tear you to pieces.”
Corey was speechless.
“My cat is really a cat, but yours is different.”
Crystal’s display picture looked like it had just been changed today. Devil didn’t like to take photos. It
took Crystal a long while to finally be able to hold its head and take a high-definition photo of him. “Is
this cat raised by you?” Crystal asked.
“Yes,” Corey replied. “It’s a stray cat that I picked up.”
Crystal said, “Then it belongs to the rich and powerful family.”
*… What kind of metaphor is this?”
Crystal asked, “What’s its name?”
Corey paused for a moment before saying, “It’s called Peggie.”
“!” Crystal said in surprise, “So you’re also into the cartoon character Peggie! We have a common
interest!”
“…I don’t watch cartoons.” Corey said, “It was named by someone else.”
Crystal understood. “Your girlfriend?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“My sister.” Corey took a sip of water and lowered his eyelashes, looking a little lonely. “This cat has
been raised for nearly ten years.”
Crystal had never heard of Corey having a younger sister. She only knew that Corey’s mother had
passed away quite early, and that his father was a man who liked to flirt around. He was always with
different women. Finally, this year, he brought one of his little lovers into the family. The reason was that
she was pregnant with his child.
“Back then, it was my sister who brought the cat back,” Corey said. “I was just helping her raise it.”
Confused, Crystal asked, “Where’s your sister?”
Corey was silent for a long time before he said, “I don’t know.”
He stood up and said, “You asked too much.”
Crystal said, “I wanted to comfort you, but your words are too harsh. I won’t say anything to comfort
you now.”
She had wanted to turn around and leave, but after a pause, she turned her head and asked, “Can I
see Peggie? It looks so cute.”
Corey narrowed his eyes. “Will Harold strangle you to death if he finds out that his wife is thinking about
running over to my place?”
