Chapter 670
“Since you don’t care about it, then it shouldn’t matter whether you know about it or not.” Charles was baffled by their way of thinking.
Sean exchanged glances with Felix at that.
Both of them were of the same opinion that Charles was nothing but an idiot and they no longer wanted to bail him out of the hole he had dug himself.
“I don’t think it’s any fun staying here. Let’s go to the boxing gym. After all, it has been a long time since the four of us sparred with each other.”
Charles shook his head right away.
What a joke! There’s no way in h*ll I’d agree to go to the boxing gym! There won’t be any sparring session as I’ll only end up getting my a*s kicked!
With that thought in mind, he contended, “Well, I think it’s nice for us to have a drink here, so why don’t we do just that?”
He was aware that he would always become the one who suffered the most every time they went to the boxing gym.
Hmm… Why do I feel like Tristan’s mood took a turn for the worse?
“Cut the crap. We’re going to the boxing gym and that’s that.” Tristan had no intention of letting Charles off the hook.
After placing down his glass, he turned on his heels and left.
Charles had no choice but to give the other two a pleading look. “Did I do something wrong? Isn’t what I said true? Come on guys, help me out here.”
Both Sean and Felix shook their heads in unison.
“Even God wouldn’t be able to help you now. I gotta say, Charles, I never knew you were so fearless in the face of death.”
Everyone knows that Nicholas has always been a thorn in Tristan’s side. Despite us dropping so many hints at him, he still didn’t get it and continued to spout nonsense. I can only say that he deserves it if Tristan really beat him to death.
Upon arriving at the boxing gym, Tristan made it a point to get Charles to be his first sparring partner. Although the latter had begrudgingly changed into an appropriate outfit, he had no plans of going into the boxing ring.
He pleaded, “I’m sorry, Mr. Tristan. I was in the wrong. I won’t run my mouth again, so please spare me!”
With how good Tristan’s fighting skills are, I can’t possibly go up against him!
Meanwhile, Sean and Felix went over to the ring next to them. They couldn’t be bothered to concern themselves with Charles’ fate since he was the one who courted death in the first place.
“Come on up!” Tristan ordered in a firm tone.
Realizing how serious he looked, Charles could only drag himself into the boxing ring reluctantly. For the next half an hour, wails and shrieks echoed throughout the boxing gym.
Felix shook his head at Charles’ unfortunate state.
“Charles must have a few loose screws in his head to miss all the hints we’ve given him. He probably has a death wish or something.”
They reckoned they had nothing to do with Charles being taught a lesson since he deserved it for provoking Tristan.
Besides, they felt that it was better for Charles to be on the receiving end of Tristan’s wrath than for the two of them. This was also the reason why they didn’t do much to help their friend.
Sean muttered nonchalantly, “He’ll get it once he scores himself a girlfriend. I doubt anything we say right now will make sense to him.”
They knew just how bad Tristan’s temper could get.
“All right, let’s not talk about him anymore. It’s true that we haven’t been here for a long time, so let’s have a good session sweating it out.”
They had been busy with work recently and hadn’t had the time to relax. In a way, coming to the boxing gym offered them a means to let off some steam.
To that, Felix said, “Sure, but make sure not to go too hard on me.” He was aware of how capable a fighter Sean was and that he would not be a match for him should he get serious.
“Don’t worry, I won’t cripple you. Ysabelle would kill me if anything were to happen to you.”
Sean knew just how protective a member of the Lombard family could be when it came to those they held dear.
Felix was at a loss for words when he heard that.
I didn’t do anything wrong, so why would he want to cripple me? It seems that the world has turned into a cruel place. …
After arriving in Jetroina, the five women spent their first day in the hotel before going out for a seafood meal in the evening.
When they return to the hotel again, Ysabelle made it clear that she didn’t want to head out anymore.
Noticing that Ysabelle wasn’t the only one who wanted to stay in, Sarah decided to make some tweaks to their itinerary for the day. “All right. Since we’re all tired, let’s just cancel tonight’s activities. We’ll go skiing tomorrow.”
“Sounds good to me!” Naturally, Ysabelle was the first to agree when she heard that.
She thought that it made sense to call it a night and only take part in activities the next day since they would be too exhausted otherwise.
“What about the others? In any case, if any of you want to spend the evening alone, it’s best to do it in pairs so that you can look out for each other.”
Since they were in unfamiliar territory, it would be troublesome if something did happen.
“Let’s just stay in the hotel tonight and go out tomorrow.” They were usually very busy and the opportunity to take a break was few and far between. As such, none of them really wanted to leave the comfort of the hotel.
“Since everybody’s agreed on this, let’s head back to our rooms, then.” Sarah was feeling a bit down in the dumps and all she wanted at the moment was some time alone.
As the others made their way toward their respective rooms, Sophie took a glance at Sarah’s retreating figure. In the end, she didn’t say anything and simply went to her room as well.
As soon as Sarah returned to her room, someone knocked on the door. Opening the door, she saw that it was Juan.
A wry smile spread across her lips when her gaze settled on the man she hadn’t seen for a long time.
Juan began, “Sarah, are you avoiding me? I don’t think I did anything to upset you, did I?”
She definitely saw me earlier, but she didn’t come over to say hello, nor did she try to strike up a conversation.
Sarah replied, “So what if I saw you? I don’t think it’s necessary for us to greet each other.”
Having a crush on someone really sucks. Besides, I’m done feeling so bitter all these years. It’s time for me to give up. After all, there is no need to keep torturing myself for this one-sided love.
Seeing Sarah acting like this, Juan felt rather dejected.
In the past, Sarah would always appear by his side no matter where he went. Even if he did not care about her, she would only have eyes for him.
However, she was now avoiding him.
Juan asked, “What do you mean by that, Sarah? I don’t think I owe you anything.”
Sarah felt like laughing after hearing his words. Of course, there’s no way he’d do anything wrong! He’s Juan Quigley, after all. There are countless women surrounding him, so it’s only natural that I meant nothing to him.
Heaving a sigh, she uttered, “Juan, I didn’t tell you this before, but I’ve always liked you.” Now that nothing mattered to her anymore, she finally had the guts to say the words she didn’t dare to in the past for fear of damaging their friendship.
Juan frowned. “Sarah, are you drunk?”
In response, Sarah said, “No, I’m sober. Anyway, you don’t need to worry about it. I used to like you, but it’s all in the past. I have indeed been avoiding you during this time because I’ve decided to forget you. Of course, you don’t need to feel too bothered by this. The only reason why I can say all this to your face so openly is that I’ve left you in my past.”
Juan fell silent.
Sarah smiled and added, “The next time we meet each other, it’ll be as business partners and nothing more. I wish you happiness, Juan.”
She never expected that letting go of everything and telling him all that was on her mind could feel so liberating. I feel so good now.
