Lukas suddenly appeared, disrupting the awkward mood they were in. Ava's expression improved a little.
However, Reese's expression was not so relaxed.
When she saw Lukas, her nerves tightened and she couldn't help but clench her hands.
Lukas glanced at Elias. He did not say hello to Ava and Reese.
Elias nodded and said, "Hurry up and sit down, just in time, the four of us will play a gtogether!"
Lukas was indifferent. He walked over and sat down beside Reese.
Reese's body instantly went numb, and she sat stiffly with her back straight.
Lukas leaned on the sofa with a lazy expression. "What gdo you want to play?"
Elias pursed his lips: "Fight the Landlord, the loser drinks. What do you think?" Lukas raised his eyebrows, "Aren't
there three people in Fight the Landlord? His eyes moved around.
Elias knew what he meant and quickly explained, "Ms. Roberts and I, Ava has just been discharged from the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthospital, but she still has a stomach problem. She can't drink!"
Ava snorted, "You're really thoughtful!"
Elias smiled. "I'll deal the cards!"
He picked up a brand new set of playing cards from the table and shuffled them at random. He handled the
playing cards skillfully; it looked as if each of them had legs.
He shuffled the cards like a pro and wanted to show off.
Reese did not dare to look at Lukas. She did not understand. It was obviously not her fault that night. But when
she saw Lukas, she suddenly becso nervous.
However, her mood was beyond her control.
She stiffly picked up the card in front of her, her mind in a mess.
Lukas was sitting not far from her. She could clearly smell the faint mint smell of Lukas's body mixed with the
smell of smoke.
Lukas picked up the card and looked at Reese from the corner of his eyes, and found that she did not look at him
at all, and his expression was a little low.
Just as Elias had dealt the cards, he suddenly saw that Ava was actually drinking.
His expression suddenly changed, and his voice was cold and angry: "Ava, what are you doing?"
Reese raised his head with a jolt. Only then did he see that Ava was actually drinking.
Her expression also changed.
However, before she could say anything, she heard Ava's indifferent tone, "I'm just having a drink. Do you live by
the sea? Elias, you're too far away!"
Ava was upset. She didn't want Elias to treat her too well.
She was afraid that Elias really liked her.
She had already failed in her crush, and the ending was tragic. She did not want it, and Elias was doing the
same.
Although Elias was famous, he was really good as a friend. He treated people with sincerity and he was
righteous.

Elias's face was ashen, and his voice gritted his teeth: "I'm just worried that you'll drink yourself into the hospital
again!"
Ava's voice was cold, and her eyes flashed, "I have my own rules!"
Reese could probably see that Ava didn't really want to drink, she was just a little annoyed.
As for why she was annoyed, she could probably guess as a best friend for many years.
She rushed in front of Elias and said, "Mr. Schmidt, don't worry, Ava won't joke about her health!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ava again: "Ava, listen to me. You have just been discharged from the
hospital!"
Ava nodded and pursed her lips.
Lukas was silent as if he was watching a large-scale stage play.
However, his eyes had not taken off Reese's face since she started to speak.
Elias was holding the card in his hand. His fingers were a little pale. He looked at Reese with a smile that barely
reached his eyes, "Miss Roberts, want to be dealer?"
