Chapter 691


    Only then did he understand how lonely it was to wait for someone who would nevere home.


    How many nights did Rachel Wood wait in silence like him right now?


    As he thought about it, he realized he was unforgivably mean to Rachel in the past.


    He was heartless. He was a bastard.


    Irritation spiked Sebastian Brenand as he reminded himself how terrible he was. He got up and lit a


    cigarette, taking quick drags on it grumpily.


    He had been smoking really uncontrobly these days.


    He used to take a couple of cigarettes a day. However, a pack of cigarettes was simply not enough


    for him to survive a day now.


    Sebastian was breathless with guilt and exasperation even after he puffed at a few cigarettes.


    Atst, he crushed the butt of the cigarette with his heels and grabbed his phone, calling his


    assistant, Jean Hanson, sulkily. “Jean, you don’t have toe to work anymore starting


    tomorrow…”


    His words startled the sleepy Jean over the other end of the phone. Instantly, he rolled over and


    crawled out of bed, flustered. He was stunned to the spot as he stuttered in fright, “Master


    Sebastian, I’m sorry… I… I was wrong… Please give me another chance…”


    “How many days has it been? Where the hell is Rachel? I’ve given you many chances already.”


    “Please give me more time… Please… I promise that I’ll work harder.”


    Sebastian frowned impatiently. He lit another cigarette and took a long drag on it. “Three more days.


    Get lost if you fail to find her within these three days.”

    The next morning, X Quest woke up to a warm message from Alex.


    He wished her good luck.


    And he said that he would see her in the finals.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    X smiled at the message. She replied with an ‘OK’ emoji and wished him all the best for the finals


    too.


    Up until now, the novelty of yesterday’s experience still thrilled and excited her.


    Never in her life had she imagined that she would be a professional gamer and y in a


    tournament.


    After going through all the training and experiencingst night’s stirring match, X could finally


    understand the charm of e-sports.


    Its charmy in its uncertainty.


    The game’s oue was unknown until the veryst moment as you never knew what would


    happen in the next second.


    Just like how everyone predicted that both the teams had a fifty-fifty chance of winning before the


    game started yesterday.


    Many people guessed that the score would be 3:2.


    It was either the opposing team won the game by a nose or vice versa.


    Surprisingly, in the end, Team QPG swept to victory with an astonishing 3:0.


    On top of that, they had brought the audience one of the most exciting games ever.


    Suddenly, someone gripped X’s shoulder and turned her body around.


    X fell into a warm embrace in the very next second.


    She slowly lifted her head and gazed at the beautiful scenery in front of her. “Good morning, hubby.”


    Waking up to sunshine and finding your beloved lying right to you was undoubtedly the happiest


    thing in life.


    Stanley Batton dotingly ruffled her hair. “Morning, dear. What were you doing just now?”


    “Nothing. I was just replying to Alex’s message.”


    “Alex? Why did he text you early in the morning?”


    “To wish me good luck for the finals.”


    “Are you sure he doesn’t have any other bad intentions?” Stanley asked cautiously.


    X rolled her eyes at him. “Do you feel threatened by those kids? Seriously? Are you thatme?”


    “It’s not my fault to be so suspicious, alright?”


    “Whose fault is it then?”


    “You. It’s your fault for being too pretty…”


    The man’s abruptpliment had left X speechless.


    “By the way, what did you say just now?” The man’s eyes gradually became distant.


    Questions were swimming in X’s head. “What? What do you mean?”


    “You asked me, am I thatme?”
