No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 448

Haley made a quick dodge to the side.

The speed was so unexpected that I couldn't hold back a burst of laughter.

While still chuckling, I grabbed the remote she'd tossed aside, "What are you so scared of? It's just a remote."

Haley's face turned from red to white, clearly upset.

I had already turned on the TV, getting back to the game. It was a nail-biter, tied at 8-8, approaching match point. The next score would be crucial.

"Get out!" Haley suddenly snapped at me.

I didn’t put down the remote but aimed it at her. "Chill out, let me watch the game. We can talk after."

Admittedly, I was teasing Haley a bit, but I genuinely wanted to watch the game.

While most people were into pop stars and movie celebrities, I had a different taste. I was all about this girl on TV playing table tennis. Her journey from underdog to champion was just so cool!

Haley surprisingly quieted down after that, and I threw in a challenge, "Let's make a bet. Guess who wins, and I'll grant you any wish, no matter what it is."

"Really?" Haley asked, skeptical.

"You can record it," I said, just as the game resumed and the other player scored a point. I looked at my favorite player, trailing by a point, then asked Haley again, "Well, you betting?"

Haley didn't respond, unsure whether she didn't believe me or just couldn't make a guess.

Sports weren't her thing. She was more about beauty and lifestyle influencers.

But in that moment, with a stunning return, the score was tied again at 9-9.

I was both excited and nervous, glancing at Haley, "Only two points left. If you don't guess now, you'll miss your chance."
