Chapter 999: Chapter 979: The Person Deeply Loved in the Heart

"You know, Chani, it’s fine if we play, but let’s leave Brother Thompson and Sister Bianca out of it. Disturbing their bridal chamber isn’t quite right!"

With the way Brother Thompson’s eyes have been glued to Sister Bianca’s face since this morning, who would dare disturb them now? Whoever does is going to be thrown out. Even Nicole, sporting an extreme hairstyle earlier to check the room, was chased away, let alone us youngsters.

"So, Sister Nora, are you agreeing to play mahjong?"

Chani’s eyes immediately lit up, "Agreed, then you have to accept my game rules, and you can’t be scared!"

Scared?

Upon hearing this, Nana’s eyebrows knitted together slightly. This girl wasn’t going to pull something nasty again, was she?

"What have I got to be scared of? If anyone should be scared, it should be John. Didn’t you say women collect the money and men get punished?"

Chani: "..."

How could her Sister Nora be so naive?

She’s about to unleash a big move soon—can she really handle it?

"Alright, alright, no objections then? But we are still three players short, we need one more. Who’s joining?"

There’s nothing more frustrating than being one short in a game of mahjong. "How about it, Nicole, why don’t you call a friend over to join us? Someone around our age!"

"Why call anyone else? Am I not a person?"

No sooner had Chani spoken than a voice, carefree and amused, floated in from the door. "Mahjong, now that’s something I’m good at. Looks like you’re one short. Count me in, but..."

"No ’buts,’ we’re not playing with you!"

Graham couldn’t finish his sentence before Chani cut him off without any courtesy. "Just look at us, our average age isn’t even eighteen yet, we’re all minors. Do you really think it’s appropriate for someone your age to join our fun?"

Graham: "..."

How could Roy’s little niece be so sharp-tongued? He went over it carefully several times, but he couldn’t recall offending this young lady, so why was he so unwelcome?

"But I’m the best man. If bridesmaids can play, why can’t the best man play mahjong?"

After speaking, Graham’s gaze unintentionally scanned over Nana, the implication clear. Age shouldn’t be a reason to prevent him from joining in the mahjong game. "I’ll be on the bridesmaid’s team; any losses are on me!"

"Hey, Mr. Best Man, we don’t lack money. The amount we gamble in mahjong, we can afford to lose. So please don’t throw your USD in our faces, okay?" Chani had been displeased with this guy since morning. To be exact, she disliked any man who ogled Sister Nora. In her eyes, Sister Nora and John were the perfect pair—one reserved and aloof, the other graceful and charming. This man, with ’playboy’ written all over his face, clearly wasn’t a match for her Sister Nora.

"Also, if you want to chase girls, just chase girls. Don’t use that as a cover to spoil our mahjong game! I’m telling you, Sister Nora won’t like you. Just give up already. She already has someone she likes, so please don’t appear before her again."

Clearly spoiled by Michael Gordon, Chani didn’t give any face to those she disliked. This guy, who had been leering at Nana from the moment he appeared, was almost immediately cast into her no-go zone of hell, with no chance given!

Graham: "..."

Was his intention really that obvious?

"Well, Brother Graham, you really are too lecherous. Sister Nora is a pure and good girl, not suited for you!"

Nicole Thompson stood up and walked over to Graham Stones, looking up with her big eyes as she pondered earnestly before speaking solemnly, her seriousness was unmistakable, "I think if you’re just playing around, you should find those girls who are willing to be played with. You won’t stand a chance with Sister Nora!"

Graham Stones: "..."

Was his reputation that bad?

Not only was his reputation that bad, but his skills in wooing women were poor too?

"Cough cough, Nicole, is my image really that bad?"

"The image is okay, you’re quite handsome, but you’re too fickle and licentious, the unreliable type of man. You’d better leave quickly. If my brother finds out that you’re trying to hit on his sister-in-law’s bridesmaid, he’d probably skin you!"

Her brother was very protective, and Sister Nora was one of their own, after all!

"Cough cough cough..."

...Graham Stones was coughing so hard he couldn’t speak. He had never regretted his not-so-pristine past as much as he did in that moment. Messing with too many women, and now he found himself unworthy even to pursue the one he liked!

"Nicole, there are things you don’t understand. Go get us some wedding candies to eat!"

If Chani Gordon was known for her sharp tongue, Nicole Thompson was simply naïve, that girl would dare to say anything, without any reservation. If he let her continue, she’d probably recite the names of all the women he’d been with. If that happened, not only would he have no chance of pursuing Nana Jensen, but his own character would be despised by her!

Nicole Thompson had already scampered off to get some wedding candies, and to call a playmate of about the same age to play mahjong!

"Distracting Nicole won’t help. We already know what kind of person you are. I’ve told you, Sister Nora has someone else she likes, if you pursue her now, you’ll be the third wheel, a detestable ’male mistress’ that everyone wants to drive out!"

After saying that, Chani Gordon moved closer to Nana Jensen and whispered a bunch into her ear. Seeing Nana Jensen nod, Chani then winked at Willy Smith.

"If Sister Nora likes me, I’d be willing to be the ’male mistress’!"

Graham Stones saw right through the little girl’s shenanigans; she was young after all, and her little schemes were written all over her face, "So, I won’t give up. Nana Jensen, I want to pursue you. If you think you’re too young, a minor, not ready for a relationship, I can wait. Wait until you’ve grown up, then I’ll pursue you!"

"Ptui ptui ptui..."

"Mr. Stones, I’m sorry, but I have absolutely no feelings for you. Even if you pursue me, I won’t like you, because I already have someone I like!"

Although it was an act, Nana Jensen spoke with righteousness and confidence. After all, she had always had someone she liked in her heart; it just wasn’t someone she could yearn for openly.

"Who do you like? Can you tell me?"

Seeing her speak so definitively, Graham Stones felt his heart sink. Chani Gordon may have been joking, but Nana Jensen was different, eyes don’t lie, and as soon as she spoke, he understood her meaning.

"The person I like has nothing to do with you. I’m sorry, I can’t tell you!!"

She couldn’t tell him, nor could she tell anyone else!
