Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1073

Despite her worries, the game began. The game was five-card stud one of the most popular games in gambling. Neither of them had big wins. Both of them seemed to be warming up.

Gradually, Molly's confidence was building as she remembered what Chester had taught her, and she became more composed. Although luck would play a major role in gambling, sometimes, one's feeling was also important. The person who was the most confident would probably have the best luck. Of course, in the end, one's skill would dictate the final winner.

It had been more than half an hour since the game had started and still, neither of them had won a lot from the other. Molly's cheating skills weren't the best. Shane had seen plenty of skilled cheaters. He noticed that at times she would be decisive, but sometimes she would hesitate. That was one thing that a cheater should never do. Because of that, Brian had accumulated slightly more chips than Molly.

Even though Brian knew nothing about gambling, he was a confident man. He had a true poker face, and nothing could be read from his face. As such, Molly couldn't work out what cards Brian was holding.

Gradually, the battle turned to a stalemate. Brian was still wearing a confident look, while Molly became more and more composed. After another hour of playing, the game ended. Brian lost!

It wasn't because Shane's skill became lesser, but it was because Molly had become more and more adept at cheating. She had been focused, and her skills had reached the highest level of her capability. Several times, she managed to change her cards at the last second, making it too late for Shane to help Brian.

"Now can you tell me... why are you doing this?" Molly's brows shot up, and a smug smile was plastered on her face.

She wasn't interested in his promise about the five things. What she was curious about was his motive for this game. Now that she had become more mature, she knew very well what the priority was. She knew that his promise about the five things didn't mean much to her. As long as she told him her wish, he would try his best to satisfy her.

Brian didn't answer but just shot her a glance before he turned to Shane.

Shane remarked, "Mrs. Molly Long isn't a skilled cheater for now. However, she didn't spend a long time learning the skills. Plus, she hasn't had the chance to practice the skills. If…" He paused

then glancing at Molly, he continued, "If she worked on it, she would surely do well." Upon hearing Shane's comment, she felt like she had been misunderstood. It wasn't that she loved gambling, and what he said sounded like she was passionate about learning cheating skills.

The reason why she learned to gamble from Chester was that she wanted to use that as an excuse to come back. While those thoughts flashed across her mind, she turned to look at Brian, waiting for his response.

However, she didn't receive the response that she hoped for. Brian merely stood up and said, "It's very late. Go back now."
