Chapter 210 Biting Off More Than You Can Chew
At that moment, a basketball suddenly flew toward them. Gilbert caught the ball in his long, slender hands and threw it back. Despite him being far away, the ball went cleanly through the hoop. It bounced on the ground a few times before landing in the hands of a boy who was around five or six years old.
A woman with delicate features ran up to the boy and pulled him away. She was panting as she anxiously said, “Be careful. You almost hit someone.”
The little boy stared at Gilbert. Under the light, the boy’s slightly familiar face showed a touch of maturity and seriousness that children of the same age did not have.
“You…” The little boy pointed at Gilbert, “You play good.”
“You’re rather cheeky, aren’t you, little guy?” Davian looked at the boy and said, his hands on his hips. However, the little boy ignored him and kept on staring at Gilbert. “Come play with me,” he said.
“Oh, this is outrageous. Look at you. You’re not even tall enough to reach Mr. Kooper’s waist, yet you want to play a game with him? You’re biting off more than you can chew, kid,” Davian
said.
Mia crossed her arms around her chest with no intention of stopping the boy, as if she was waiting for a show.
“We’ll see who’s biting off more than they can chew,” said the little boy.
Davian laughed. He was infuriated. “Look at this arrogant kid. He probably hasn’t lost anything in his life yet. Come on. We shouldn’t waste our time on him. Let’s go,” he said to Gilbert while pointing at the little boy.
“Alright, let’s play.” Gilbert took off his coat and tossed it to Davian.
Davian was stunned. “Sir, this is silly,” he said.
