Observing, Destinee set up two stools, one for Colby and one for herself, along with two bags of milk candy, a box of strawberries, and a plate of sliced honeydew melon.
âColby, I brought these! But it might be too much.
Come help me!â
Colby glanced at her, noting the abundance of food on the stools, towering over her petite frame.
He couldnât help but feel a hint of disdain.
âAre you planning to feast? Can you even finish all of this?â
Destinee chuckled and replied, âItâs not just for me; itâs for everyone.
Iâm sure both Sonny and Kyson will need refreshments after the match, and theyâll need sustenance as well.
â
Her thoughtfulness extended to all involved.
âGirls can be quite troublesome.
â While Colby grumbled, he strode over with his head held high and lifted the food from the stools to lighten her burden.
âYouâre amazing, Colby.
Despite your tough exterior, you have a kind heart.
â
Colby snorted, maintaining his aloof demeanor but secretly pleased by Destineeâs words.

Meanwhile, Kyson observed as the lawyer finalized the documents.
He then approached Destinee, taking the stools from her and positioning them against the outer wall of the basketball court.
He gently caressed Destineeâs face, expressing concern.
âThere might be bloodshed during the fight.
Destinee, I worry youâll be uncomfortable.
How about I tell Aldric to take you to see a movie instead?â
Recalling Destineeâs distress when she saw his hand bleed while opening a durian, Kyson feared she might be even more upset this time.
âNo! Iâll cheer you up.
I wonât be scared.
â
âDestinee, please behave.
â
Colby chimed in, âItâs best to remove her from here; otherwise, sheâll cause trouble.
â
But Destinee shook her head firmly, refusing to leave.
Reluctantly, Kyson relented.
âFine.
But if you feel uncomfortable, stop watching, okay?â
âOkay.
Since when did you become such a nag?â Destinee pouted.
Kyson didnât respond further.
Instead, he led Destinee to a stool, opened the package of milk candy for her, and offered her some.
Afterward, he rose and approached Sonny.
Though the basketball court was not large, it was sufficient for their confrontation.
Destinee and Colby comprised the sole audience.
The lawyer assumed the role of temporary referee, stationed by the wall to ensure the fairness of the bet.
Sonny positioned himself opposite Kyson, the distance between them measuring ten feet.
