If he didn't say it out loud, perhaps Alexer and Nier would give up, and he would have more chances to win.
"Even if Hobart opposed their relationship, I still feel that it's impossible for Maryanne to like any one of us.”
Although they had only been in contact for a short while today, Alexer had a strong sense of foreboding.
Jarvy said with a slight ridicule in his voice, "Mr. Hemwerth, if you don't want to play, you can quit like Mr. Ronald. There is no need to give ideological and moral education to me and Mr. Carlson. Don't forget that the game was set by four of us at that time. If we are not clean, you will not be innocent."
"Okay, forget about it." Alexer gritted his teeth and made a decision. "You can continue with your game. I quit."
"What? You're going to quit too? Only Mr.
Tomson and I are left. How boring!" Nier sighed.
Jarvy said, "Okay, since both you and Mr. Ronald have chosen to quit, then you must admit defeat. As I said before, the loser will automatically become the person paying for this game. Is that okay?"
Alexer felt much more relieved since he said he would quit. He nodded with a smile and said, "No problem. We have made a deal that the three who lost will pay 450 thousand dollars per person to the winner."
"Mr. Hemwerth, it's good that you admit your defeat," Jarvy answered and then asked faintly, "Didn't you say you have something else to do? Shall we meet next time?"
"Well, you start to think I'm in your way, don't you?" Alexer curled his lips and said, "I don't want to disturb you to continue to show your affection. I'm leaving now."
As soon as Alexer left, Nier immediately called Jarvy, "Let's go. Let's go inside quickly, lest Maryanne suspects us if we go out together for too long."
Jarvy said, "If we go in together now, she will be suspicious."
Nier's hand, which was placed on his shoulder, could not help but stiffen slightly. "Then what should we do? Should we talk it through with each other first?"
Jarvy said lightly, "No, you go in first. When I came out just now, I told her that I had to go to the bathroom to smoke."
"Okay!" Nier rubbed his hands and said with an evil face, "I can cultivate a relationship with her alone."
How could it be so easy?
Jarvy smiled in his heart and turned to walk towards the bathroom.
"Really?" Nier looked at his back and murmured, then turned around and entered the restaurant.
Maryanne was still sitting where she was. From his angle, he could see the tip of her nose and her full red lips. As for her eyes... they were staring at the string of agate on the dining table.
After Nier was a little excited, he walked forward and asked with a smile, "Maryanne, I'm back. What are you looking at?"
Maryanne looked up at him. "I'm looking at your Agate bracelet."
Nier replied sweetly, "No, now it's yours."
"Na." Maryanne suddenly laughed.
Nier asked, "Maryanne, what are you laughing at?"
Maryanne said, "I'm thinking, in your heart, I'm a woman who can be solved easily with money. Are you looking down on me or my brother?"
Nier was stunned and quickly explained, "Isn't it because I don't know what you like? I just want to pick something nice and expensive. There won't be a big mistake."
Maryanne said with a look of disdain, "It's a pity that these gifts you sent, as long as I say it, my brother and parents will immediately buy them for me."
"Yes, yes, yes. Both Mr. Smith and aunty regard you as the apple of their eyes. You will get whatever you want." Nier said fawningly.
Maryanne snorted in a rather coquetry manner. "It's precisely because I have everything that makes it seem like you guys are giving me something so vulgar. I advise you to take it back as soon as possible. Don't wait for me to throw it into the fish tank just like the luminous pearl given by Mr. Hemwerth."
She subconsciously turned her head and saw that Jarvy had already appeared beside her.
"Sorry, there are too many people in the bathroom." Jarvy said as he sat down.
Maryanne replied with a "hmm" and Nier replied, "It's alright."
At this time, Jarvy saw that the agate bracelet, which was originally placed on the table, had disappeared, but Maryanne did not wear anything on her two wrists. He immediately knew that Nier had failed.
Relieved, he curled his lips and gently asked, "Maryanne, do you want to eat something else?"
Maryanne shook her head. "No need. I'm already very full."
Jarvy asked, "Then let's go?"
"All right."
Seeing Maryanne lowering her head and taking out her purse, Nier couldn't help but stare at Jarvy with wide eyes. He silently questioned how he could make a woman truly treat him.
Jarvy smiled but remained silent.
Seeing this, Nier felt that he had a chance to show off. "Maryanne, let me pay the bill."
Maryanne shot him a look of disdain. "I've already said that this is my treat. You want me to break my promise?"
"I..." Nier felt so wronged!
He thought of her and was even despised by her. This woman was too difficult to get along with, wasn't she? He really didn't know how Jarvy had endured these two months!
Jarvy, who had already figured out Maryanne's character, looked at Nier with schadenfreude. They joked that Maryanne did not like him, but did she treat them well?
