Chapter 1316
Preston left the CEO’s office and called Anthony to ask where
he was. Anthony sent him the location of a golf course.
Preston drove to the golf course and saw Anthony sitting
under an umbrella, wearing sunglasses and a mask, staring at a figure in the distance.
Following his gaze, Preston could see Dylan teaching Edith how to swing a golf club.
“She can play golf.”
Anthony didn’t even lift his head, he just said that.
Preston understood what he meant and pulled out a chair to
sit next to him.
“It must be Dylan insisting on teaching her.”
Men teaching women how to play golf, using this way to have physical contact.
Preston thought Dylan was some serious person, but he’s just a p layboy who tries to take advantage of beautiful women.
“It was your sister’s request.”
Anthony looked up, towards Edith, and raised his chin.
“They made a bet with those two couples. If they get a hole-in-one, they’ll tip fifty thousand.””
So it’s all for a bet, Edith and Dylan are teaming up to play golf, they’re actually pretty good.
Preston doesn’t like how he sees Dylan, he always feels like he’s deceiving his naïve sister.
“Come on, let’s go play and knock that Dylan down!”
He took off his jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows, revealing his strong and muscular arms.
“Forget it.”
Anthony stopped Preston.
“My sister asked me not to appear in front of her, it’s better not to upset her.”
“So you’re just going to be like this, like a coward, following them around, watching them fall in love?”
Anthony glanced at Dylan, who was holding Edith in his arms,
and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
“What else can I do?”
Should he compete with Dylan from the Lawrence pack?
His pack couldn’t even compete with the Knight pack, what could he use to compete?
Besides, Edith probably doesn’t have feelings for him.
anymore.
That girl who only had him in her heart during her teenage years, she must have lost interest in him.
“What can we do? Either fight to win her back or give up. Don’t
hide and hesitate.”
Anthony looked up at him, his eyes behind the sunglasses
were red.
“I’ve tried, I’ve begged, I’ve even hurt myself, I’ve done everything, but she remains indifferent.”
Preston was stunned, he never expected the usually proud Anthony to stoop so low.
“I also want to give up, but all these years, there hasn’t been a
moment when I truly let go…”
Anthony, hiding in the darkness, was like falling into an abyss, struggling but unable to break free.
He was surrounded by darkness, his whole body enveloped, and that kind of loneliness made Preston couldn’t help but be
moved.
Giving up dignity to fight, begging everything not to give up, being trapped in such a dilemma, how painful must it be?
Preston could empathize to some extent, so he reached out and patted Anthony’s shoulder.
