Chapter 615

Kelly was frantically thinking of an excuse to refuse to go to the guesthouse to look at the quilt when someone spoke up to save her.

Penelope held the poker card and smiled gently. “Mr. Walter, I’ve thought of another way to play poker.

This way of playing is a little special.”

Ian leaned against the railing with his eyes half–closed. His thick eyelashes hid the emotions in his eyes. The soft and bright light shone on his face, making him look even colder and more distant.

He didn’t seem to be interested in Penelope’s words. He didn’t even look up.

Cyril was good at reading people’s expressions. He was as scheming as a sieve. In the past, when he was in the Walter family, he was the least capable of the four trusted subordinates, but he was the most liked by Mr. Walter.

Almost immediately, Cyril interrupted Penelope and continued to talk about the quilt.

However, before he could speak, Kelly came to Penelope’s side and looked at the poker card in her hand curiously. “What way? Can you demonstrate?”

She was an expert at playing poker!

Kelly felt a little tempted to play.

Penelope drooped her eyelids and ignored Kelly. Instead, she continued to look at lan. She waved the poker card in her hand and smiled charmingly. “Mr. Walter, do you want to try?”

lan looked at Kelly for a while. Then, he looked up and seemed to be interested. “Tell me.”

“That’s right. Please hurry up and say it. What other interesting ways are there to play poker?” Kelly blinked her large eyes excitedly.

Seeing this, Cyril had no choice but to swallowhis words.

He began to reflect on himself as he thought, ‘Is it not enough to observe Mr. Walter’s expression alone? Do I have to observe Kelly’s, too?”

He pondered in heart and used everything in his mind to think about what he should be doing. He finally understood what to do.

In the future, he would change his direction and start observing Kelly!

Penelope elegantly washed the poker cards in her hand and raised her delicate and narrow chin. “I’ve taught Mr. Walter a lot of poker games these past few days. There’s almost nothing new about it.

However, the gameplay today is a little different. It’s called Truth or Dare. The poker cards are just a medium.”

‘So this is it? How boring!‘ thought Kelly.

Kelly was a little disappointed, but playing games was better than going back to the guesthouse with lan to look at the quilt, so she was still in a good mood.

“Will there be too few people?” There were only three of them. Including Cyril, there were only four of them. Kelly felt that the number was a little too few.

Upon hearing this, Penelope looked up and glanced at Kelly coldly. She deliberately said, “Two people are a little lesser than the original game, but it’s still fun.”

Kelly was speechless.

‘Alright, I was overthinking. Penelope had no intention of bringing me along!‘ thought Kelly.

It was a little awkward and a little lucky. Fortunately, she did not mention the three of them just now.

Otherwise, she would really find a hole to hide in.

Two people?” lan’s lazy voice came from behind. He was also a little surprised. His noble and distant gaze looked straight at Penelope. “Aren’t you going to play?”

Penelope was at a loss for words.

Kelly’s mind was in a mess.

Her brain was getting cloudy. She had to get things straightened by thinking about how many people were going to play.

When Penelope said “two people“, she meant herself and lan.

‘Could the two people lan was talking about be himself and me?”

Kelly was in a complete mess.

Penelope’s hands were shaking. She wanted to remove Kelly, but Mr. Walter misunderstood and thought that she didn’t want to play.

She started pondering anxiously, ‘What should I do now? If I explain, it will make me seem mean!”

No matter how angry Penelope was, she still looked gentle and generous. “Yes, I’m not playing. I’m in charge of dealing cards to you.”

“What does she mean?‘ thought Kelly.

Kelly pointed at herself. “Should I play with Mr. Walter?” The two of them could play truth or dare?

This was too boring!

Penelope had already dealt the cards. There were only two of them left, so they went straight to the point. There were only two cards. One was a red ace, and the other was a king. The person who got the red ace had to choose between truth and dare.

Kelly picked up the card in front of her and slowly raised a corner….

It was a red ace!

She was really “lucky“!

“Ah!” Kelly leaned on the table and sighed. “I choose Truth.”

Penelope looked at Ian. “Do you have any questions, Mr. Walter?”

Ian furrowed his brows. His gaze was fixed on the poker cards in his hand. His tone seemed a little nonchalant and casual. “Who is the most important person in your heart?”

The most important person? Kelly didn’t even need to think about it. Her first reaction was Olivia.

However, she could not reveal Olivia’s full name. She covered it up and said, “It’s a girl called Olivia.”

“Oh lan nodded. His expression was calm and indifferent, as if he didn’t care at all. He was just asking casually.

Penelope took back the poker cards and started the second round.

This time, Kelly was still “lucky” to get the red ace.

“I still choose Truth!” Kelly raised her hand.

Penelope looked at lan. “Mr. Walter, it’s your turn to ask.”

Ian slowly raised his eyes. His eyes were noble and cold, like the quiet night sky, emitting boundless silence.

He said expressionlessly, “Who is the second most important person in your heart?”

There were many people who were the second most important!

Kelly pondered.

While she was thinking, Ian’s attention seemed to be on Kelly. His right hand, which was under the table, was slowly clenching.

“Nina and Seth.” Although they had only known each other for a short time, Kelly liked them very much.

They made her feel kinship and warmth. They made her know what her parents were like.

As soon as Kelly finished speaking, Ian suddenly clenched his right hand and crushed a bead in his palm.

The game was still ongoing. Kelly seemed to have stepped on the misfortune wheel and got a lot of Aces.

Ian asked. “Who is the third most important person in your heart?”

Kelly answered without pressure, “Olivia’s children.”

lan asked, “Who is the fourth most important person in your heart?”

Kelly answered, “Brenda.”

Ian asked, “Who is the fifth most important person in your heart?”

Kelly answered, “Mr. Colins.”

The same question was asked countless times by Ian.

Oh my god! Cyril, who knew lan well, was about to cry. Ian couldn’t continue asking. If this continued, lan might feel like killing someone because of her answer!

If lan wasn’t even in the top 10 in Kelly’s heart, Cyril was sure that Ian would definitely destroy the Collins family!

Therefore, Cyril risked his life and said, “Mr. Walter, it’s getting late. It’s time to go back and rest.”

Upon hearing this, lan finally restrained his violent emotions. The gloominess in his eyes slowly dissipated.

Kelly also heaved a sigh of relief. This was great. It was finally going to end. The atmosphere just now was really terrifying. For some reason, Jan looked like he wanted to kill someone.

It scared her!

She had no idea who had provoked him!

Penelope also secretly exhaled.

The atmosphere just now was really oppressive. She could barely breathe. Mr. Walter was so scary.

Ian’s eyelids twitched. When he saw Kelly shrinking into a ball, he felt angry and heartbroken. He was angry that she did not take him seriously, and his heart ached for her being frightened.”

He closed his eyes and imprisoned the violent beast in his heart. He stood up and strode off.
