No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 229

Allen's eyes narrowed, yet his smile remained, shifting into a more playful and teasing expression.

It seemed like he was mulling over something.

I didn't bother guessing his thoughts and went straight to the point, “If it's too much trouble for Mr. Clark, then never mind.”

“Heh,” he chuckled dryly, “What trouble? It's not just something you're asking for; even if you wanted me myself, I'd be more than happy to oblige.”

His words were a bit forward.

He took his shot and cleared the table swiftly, no wonder he had been a champion; the whole process took him a minute less than it took me.

I didn't skimp on my applause, “Mr. Clark is on another level.”

“According to our agreement, you still won. So, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?” Allen squinted at me.

I took a deep breath, “I'd like to meet Mr. Clark's father, Mr. Clark.”

A shadow crossed Allen's eyes, clearly wanting to know the reason. I went straight to the point: “I have an item that I need Mr. Clark to help me authenticate.”

Allen's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, “Oh, is it some kind of treasure?”
