Sybil said, “Julian definitely has to bring Annalise to the bonfire together.” She knew Julian very well. Although he looked cold, once he set his heart on someone, he would treat her very well. He would definitely want to bring Annalise to participate in the bonfire dance just to make Annalise happy. Henry smiled slyly. “Why don’t we make a bet? I bet they won’t come.” “On what?” Sybil was very confident in this bet. “You tell me!” Henry’s smile widened.
Before Sybil could think of a bet, he gently nudged her with his shoulder and said jokingly, “If they don’t appear, be my girlfriend.” “Pfft, are you really going to target someone you’re so familiar with? Besides, what if I win? Could it be that the bet I win is for you to be my boyfriend?” Sybil said. “Haha, good call!” Henry laughed out loud. Sybil rolled her eyes. “Of course, you would think it’s a good call. The results of you winning or losing is the same.”
“Then tell me, what do you want to bet on?” Henry asked. Sybil thought for a moment and suggested playfully, “If I win, you have to shout ‘Henry Dalton likes men’ loudly.” “Fuck, are you really going to go this big? But I like women though,” Henry said. “That’s why I asked you to shout it. Otherwise, why would we make a bet?” Sybil smiled brightly. “What if you lose?”
“I’ll say out loud that ‘Sybil Xander likes women.” Sybil was fearless. “Change another one.” This wasn’t lethal to her at all. “Finished 10 servings of shrimp cocktails?” “Change another one. Everyone knows you like your shrimps.” Henry said. “I can’t think of anything.” “Come knock on my door tonight and stay in my room for ten minutes,” Henry said. “Will others actually misunderstand since ten minutes is so short? Hahahahaha…” Sybil Xander laughed wildly. Henry Dalton, I’m really speechless!”.
However, from the looks of it, she really did not have any feelings for him at all! He still had a long way to go before he could call her his. “Stay half an hour then,” he said. “Let’s have supper. If I lose, I’ll treat you to shrimp cocktails when we get back. The all-you-can-eat kind.” Sybil said. “Deal,” Henry replied. If she wanted to eat shrimp cocktails, so be it, since they would be doing it together anyway. The closer you were, the easier it would be for you to get the prize. The bonfire dance began.
