Chapter 490
Charles was dumbfounded.
If word got out that I was competing against a young lady, wouldn't my reputation be ruined?
“Sophie, I'm sorry. I don't want to fight you. Please give me a pass!”
“Mr. Quigley, what's the meaning of this? Are you underestimating me?” If that's the case, the more the reason to go through with the challenge.
Charles gave Tristan a pleading look.
Mr. Tristan, can you rein in your girlfriend, please? Look at how intimidating she is! Is it necessary for her to go so far?
“Sophie, I'm not underestimating you at all! Aren't we in a hospital? It's inappropriate to have a contest here. Let's do it some other time.”
“Fine. We'll settle this challenge once Mr. Tristan is discharged.”
The man was rendered speechless.
With that, Charles slipped away with Sean.
No sooner had he emerged from the ward than he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Sean, what sort of woman is Mr. Tristan's girlfriend? Why does she want to challenge a man to a fight?” Is such aggression really necessary?
Sean peeled his hand away.
“That's what you get for running your mouth!”
He obviously deserves it.
Charles was stumped.
Is this what friends are for? It's one thing if he doesn't help, but why does he have to kick me when I'm down?
When they arrived at Felix's room, they were greeted by an unwelcoming expression.
“Sheesh, Felix. Despite our exhaustion, we still took time out to visit both of you. In the end, all you and Mr. Tristan have given us is that unwelcoming look. Don't you think you're being too much?”
“Enough. Now that you have seen me, it's time for you to go,” Felix snapped.
Over the last few days, he was relishing in the attentive care Ysabelle had showered upon him.
However, the presence of his two friends might cause her to ignore him, which was his worst nightmare.
“Look at how incompetent you are. What's so difficult about cementing your relationship with Ysabelle?”
Charles didn't know what to say to him anymore.
Can't you just make her yours by sleeping with her? Why is it so hard?
Having enough of his friends, Felix ignored the comment.
“Aperson like you will never understand me. You're nothing but a stud who's not qualified to talk to me about women!”
I want to spend the rest of my life with Ysabelle. There's no way I'm going to win her over with such a crass method.
Charles was rendered speechless.
What's wrong with being a stud? Isn't it great to live this way? I get to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh without the commitment to tie me down.
“Fine. Since you're doing all right, we'll take our leave. That said, you had better come back and manage your company once you've recovered.”
It's exhausting for the two of us to be running four conglomerates, you know?
“Sean, it wasn't easy for me to get myself hospitalized, but I still want to thank you for your help. I'll give both of you a treat once I'm discharged.”
He was not only reluctant to leave, but he also intended to stay longer.
“You're crazy! This is the first time I've heard someone enjoying their stay in the hospital.” Charles felt as if his mind was blown.
“Exactly. You had better know when to stop milking the sympathy Ysabelle has for you. Beware of overdoing it!” Sean reminded him.
“This is the expression of her love for me, not sympathy, got that?” It's clear that Ysabelle has feelings for me. Otherwise, why would she bother to take care of me?
“Whatever. We're not going to waste any more time with you. You should know what's good for you.” Don't wait till you get on Ysabelle's nerves before regretting it.
