    Chapter 289 Josiah Taught You


    Adrian asked, “Lysander, what do you say?”


    Lysander thought for a moment and replied, “I’m still a beginner, and with Ms. Lysanne not feeling


    well, it could be considered fair.”


    “Do you want to y?”


    Lysander looked up at him. “Do you?”


    “I’ll apany you. If you want to y. I’ll y with you.”


    Seeing that the participants had agreed, Aiden went to set up the pool table himself sensibly.


    Daphne patted Lysander on the shoulder. “I’m going to make a quick call. I’ll be right back.”


    “Okay.”


    Once the table was ready, Josiah asked, “Who’s breaking?”


    Adrian said, “Doesn’t matter to me.”


    “Then shall I do it?”


    “Go ahead.”


    Josiah’s gaze was icy as he removed his suit jacket. When Lysanne reached out to take it, Josiah


    dodged and called, “Aiden.”


    Aiden quickly ran over, taking the jacket from him.


    “Lysanne,” he said with a smile to ease the tension, “you’re about to y. It’s not convenient for you


    to hold the jacket. I’ll take care of it.”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Lysanne forced a smile. “Oh, okay. I didn’t think of that.”


    “No worries, no worries. You focus on the game. I’ll handle the logistics.”


    Josiah’s break left the others with almost no chance to y.


    He nearly cleared the entire table by himself.


    Only thest ck eight-ball remained, perfectly aligned with the cue ball and the pocket, making it


    an easy shot for anyone with a bit of skill.


    Josiah stood up straight, smiling at Adrian. “Clearing the table right off isn’t very polite. I’ll leave one


    for


    OU SO YOU


    can participate, Dr. Sutton.”


    Adrian nced at the table, understanding the situation. He chuckled, “Whether I sink this eight-


    ball. or not, the game’s already yours, Josiah.”


    1/2


    Josiah tossed his cue aside and said softly, “What now? We didn’t agree on any stakes when we


    started.”


    “It was just for fun. Who needs stakes?”


    Adrian leaned down, aiming for the ck eight.


    “Dr. Sutton!” Lysanne suddenly called out.


    Adrian frowned, displeased. “What is it?”


    Even Josiah’s expression turned sour, his gaze darkening as he looked at her. “Are you unwell?”


    Lysanne’s face was pale, her voice weak. “No, it’s just we agreed it was a two-on-two. After Josiah,


    it should be my turn, not Dr. Sutton’s.””


    Josiah’s voice was cold. “What are you trying to do?”


    “I… I just…” Lysanne sniffled and continued softly, “Those were the rules we set at the start. We


    should follow them.”


    Sure,” Adrian said, putting his cue down and making way for Lysanne. “Ms. Lysanne, you’re right.


    ording to the order, it’s your turn.”


    “Thank you, Dr. Sutton.”


    Lysanne’s stance was perfect.


    Lysander, who had learned from Adrian for less than half an hour, could see that.


    her posture was very stable, and her hand used as support was steady-exactly like Josiah’s stance.


    Clearly, Josiah had taught her.


    Adrian noticed this too and teased, “Indeed, a good teacher produces a good student. Josiah, you


    taught her well.”


    Josiah’s face darkened as he nced at Lysander, seemingly wanting to exin, “That was many


    years.


    ago.”


    Lysander looked straight ahead, saying nothing.


    Adrian said, “The hardest thing to forget is our youth. The feelings we have in our youth may only


    happen once in a lifetime and never again.”


    Josiah replied with a hint of bitterness, “But youth also means immaturity. The choices made then


    aren’t necessarily the right ones.”
