Chapter 764
Sebastian glanced over at her, then quickly returned the ball with a swift serve. Dashiell couldn't help but exclaim, "Nice shot!"
Phinies was somewhat speechless. Just how much did Sebastian care about that girl? Under her watchful eye, his game had suddenly improved. Moments ago, he couldn't even keep the ball in play, but as soon as Stephanie started spectating, he began playing like a pro. "Wow! My Silver Fox is so skilled!"
Putnam, freshly changed into his sports gear, overheard this as he entered the court and immediately retorted, "Skilled, my foot! Your Silver Fox probably hasn't even played tennis before!" Stephanie shot back, "You're the one who can't play, Putnam! My Silver Fox is really good, just watch."
It was only then that Putnam looked towards the court and saw Sebastian. He was like a whole new player in just a matter of days! He was actually playing tennis...
Cyrus Damon followed Putnam into the club. Upon entering, he made a beeline for Stephanie and greeted her, "Hey, Steph."
"Ah, Cyrus, you're here too!"
"Yeah, I was just at the office with my brother, so we came together."
"Do you play tennis?"
"Sure do."
"How about a game? I've just learned! I only knew how to play badminton before." Cyrus grinned, "No problem."
As Sebastian played, he noticed that his girl was now hitting balls back and forth with Cyrus. They were laughing and looking quite happy.. Suddenly, he lost all interest in the game. He couldn't be bothered to even receive the ball anymore, so he dropped his racket, gave Phinies a nod, and headed to the rest area.
Putnam clapped him on the shoulder, "Not bad, kid. You've even picked up tennis... To keep up with your girl, you're becoming quite the jack of all trades."
Phinies, with a glint in his eye, glanced over at Stephanie and noticed the little prince of the Damon family had taken over Dashielt's spot, now playing with the girl. They seemed so familiar with each other, bantering back and forth as they played.
"Stephanie, you're no match for me."
"Cyrus, look at you all smug over just two points. Just you wait, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Cyrus had a mischievous smile as he said, "Sure, let Stephanie teach me a lesson."
The vibrancy and atmosphere created by these spirited youngsters was something those nearing thirty, like them, just couldn't match. Phinies chuckled, understanding now why Sebastian had suddenly
lost his drive to play. St Suddeet
was
still young, not of the same generation as his wife Leona. Cyrus looked around Stephanie's age... Handsome and charming, and
Stephanie beautiful and spirited-to the unknowing eye, they could be
mistaken for a couple.
Noticing Sebastian's focus on the court and his lack of response, Putnam teased, "Oh, feeling a bit jealous, are we?"
Sebastian glared at him, "Who told you to bring Cyrus?"
"He wanted to come... Plus, you never said family wasn't welcome."
"Like bringing family, do you? Well, have your fill." Sebastian's voice was cool as he dropped this line.
Putnam was still puzzled when he heard a cheerful voice at the entrance of the court, "Putnam!!"
Putnam's mouth twitched, "Why is she here too..."
"Future wife, can't she come and play some tennis?"
"...You've got some nerve," Putnam muttered. If it wasn't for Sebastian, he wouldn't even be engaged.
