Freya was surprised. The person Ryan brought was truly not bad.
"This is my friend, Eliza Robbins." Freya immediately went to Eliza's side.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Robbins." Max extended his hand politely.
Eliza shook his hand.
When their gazes met, it was calm.
Chester watched them coldly. Everyone was an adult. He knew what Ryan and Freya were thinking.
However, would Max fancy Eliza?
He would just have a fling with her as well.
"I was just about to take a rest, Mr. Langston. Why don’t you play in my stead?
I'll have a chat with Ryan." Freya handed the racket to Max. "How are your badminton skills?”
"It’s so-so."
Max stood on the other side. Eliza served first.
Both of them played back and forth. The rally lasted for tens of strokes.
Eliza would sometimes make tricky shots, but Max could receive them all. They played back and forth and were in tune with each other.
As Freya watched from the side, she sighed. "Your friend has great skills."
"I’m not lacking compared to him. We can try it out later.” Ryan put his arm around her shoulders and whispered into her ear," So that your eyes aren't glued to Max all the time."
"Are you jealous?" Freya laughed. "Your friend is pretty good-looking. He seems very honest too. Does he have a girlfriend? He’s not flirty, right?"
Chester took over the racket.
Shaun immediately followed and embraced his wife. "I'm resting for a moment too. Which of you guys are going next?"
"Me." Ryan did not dare to let Freya go next. He quickly replaced Shaun.
When he and Chester walked toward the court, he smiled warmly. "Freya can be a little reckless. Don't mind her."
I won't." The two words came out of
Chester's thin lips indifferently.
“But..." Ryan suddenly smiled profoundly." President Jewell, maybe sometimes the reason you think that a person isn't good isn't because of the other person's problem but because you look down on them entirely."
Chester's deep eyes glinted.
