Being No. 9, Harry was overjoyed and he started patting his thigh. “My dear, come and call me ‘daddy’!”
Sarah stood up angrily, knelt rather reluctantly, then hugged his leg and laid her head on his thigh. “Daddy.”
Right after she finished, she stormed back to the seat next to Sophia while her face was flushed.
Meanwhile, Harry began laughing so loudly before everyone else followed suit.
The moment the system stopped speaking, a good few minutes of romantic music sounded out.
Being No. 5, Sophia turned to her left and counted; the third person was Daniel.
All of a sudden, Daniel felt a fierce look coming from the person next to Sophia: Michael stood up and calmly exchanged seats with Daniel.
Everyone was speechless.
Then, Sophia blushed and leaned up to passionately kiss him on the lips in front of everyone.
Everyone was startled.
It was supposed to be a game, but when did it become a showcase for their love?
In the next round, the player who was picked would have to throw a cat out and shout ‘Run, doggie!’.
Another player who was picked was required to take a picture with someone of the same sex while they looked each other in the eye and then upload the picture on their IG Stories, telling everyone they were coming out.
The next player had to imitate a scene in one of Taylor Murray’s films where one drama actress sang an opera.
“Player No. 4, please tell us the name of your first love,” the app read out the next question.
With hands over his face, as player No. 4, Linus let out a helpless look and said, “Amos Metcalfe.”
It was followed by pin-drop silence.
Last year, Amos Metcalfe was voted as the third sexiest man in the world by one of the most influential magazines.
He was tall, wealthy, and gorgeous. He was only about thirty years old, but the company that was under his management was as influential as Michel Group. Word had it that he was a playboy; he could sleep with two different people per night.
But it was a guy! A guy! Linus’ first love was a guy!
Sophia was slow. After a good second of silence, she finally came back to her senses and screamed, “Linus, you’re gay?”
Still covering his face with his hands, Linus did not respond.
At this moment, Sophia could not help but curse quietly. F*ck. A prince charming falling for another prince charming! F*ck. My gorgeous husband is in danger now. F*ck. Is my husband going to cheat on me with him? No wonder Linus has been sharing stories about Taylor Murray on his Twitter account!
All of a sudden, everything clicked in Sophia’s head.
Everyone had a good time that night while discovering many secrets about each other. For example, they found out that Linus was gay. Furthermore, Harry and Sean forgot to remove the intimate picture on their IG Stories as well as their coming out announcement. Alas, someone had screenshot the picture and sent it to an entertainment magazine, which announced it on their Twitter account that night. Needless to say, it attracted a lot of attention.
It was already past midnight when Michael carried Nathan and Sophia who were both sound asleep in his arms and went home.
As Nathan was sleeping drowsily in Michael’s arms, the moment he opened his eyes and saw Michael, he immediately put his hands around Michael’s neck and stated softly, “Daddy…”
This word melted Michael, who responded gently, “Nathan, are you cold?”
Then, Nathan fell back asleep again.
Even though it was merely a word, it was enough to warm Michael’s heart.
Meanwhile, Hale and Maria followed behind with the fat orange cats in their arms.
That night, those who lived nearby went home while the others spent the night at Linus’ place.
They had such a good time and had also consumed a good amount of alcohol. That night, a number of them spent the night in Linus’ living room.
Huh?
