Chapter 60 Step-by-step
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."
