Chapter 257
As Robert spoke, he glanced at Violet, wanting to see her reaction.
In the end, Violet lowered her head. No one knew what she was thinking.
Robert did not know. Violet looked calm, but she was extremely shocked.
She did not expect Patrick to still make such a big move after knowing the truth.
To be honest, Patrick was good for her.
After they registered their marriage, not to mention Patrick taking the initiative to help her, just because of Patrick’s existence, Henry Webb did not dare to casually threaten her any more. Just this point alone was enough for her!
Unfortunately, the human heart had always been difficult to be satisfied with.
So was she!
Robert put his hand to his forehead. He had just wanted to win Violet’s favor for Patrick, but who could know that he had almost gone overboard?
If Megan and Violet really turned around and left, he would have nowhere to cry!
The three of them entered the private room.
They ordered drinks and snacks. Then, Robert casually said, “I have a friend coming over later. Do you mind?”
Megan was expressionless. “I don’t mind!”
Violet glanced at Robert. “The more the merrier!”
Robert laughed and thought to himself, “I hope you'll still say that when you see the person.”
Outside Elysium Bar, the neon lights were flashing, and the night was ambiguous.
Patrick and Freddie had just gotten out of the car when the doorman went to park. Freddie’s phone suddenly rang.
Patrick was waiting for him at the side.
After Freddie picked up the call, his expression changed again and again.
By the time he finished the call, his expression was already very ugly. His tone was a little anxious. “Patrick, | won't be able to see your girlfriend today! See you another day.

| still have something on!”
Patrick saw that he was in such a hurry and was a little worried. “What happened?”
Freddie Stanton’s expression was ugly. His tone was low and fast. “Wendy is sick. She called the ambulance now. There’s no one at home. | have to go over!”
Patrick nodded. “Then hurry over!”
Freddie was a little apologetic. “Apologize to your girlfriend for me!”
Patrick shook his head. “It’s fine. Go ahead!”
Anyway, Violet did not know that Freddie was going over. He only told Robert that Freddie would come over to join them later. Robert was talking to Violet and Megan.
He told a joke and Megan’s lips curled up. He was a little stunned and could not help. but say, “Meggy, your smile is so beautiful!” Megan's expression stiffened slightly, Violet was stunned. She clearly saw the feelings in Robert’s eyes.
She suddenly felt a little complicated.
Robert seemed to be afraid that Megan would misunderstand. He quickly explained, “I’m telling the truth. You seem to have stars in your eyes!”
Robert spoke sincerely, but Megan’s expression was not very good.
To be precise, she had only just realized Robert's enthusiasm. Her expression did not. look too good. She kept a straight face and did not say a word.
Robert seemed to feel that he had said something wrong just now. The light in his eyes. dimmed bit by bit.
While Violet felt helpless, she actually felt a trace of pity.
If Megan had met Robert earlier, if Robert did not have such a reputation for his love affairs, would he... be the one for Megan? The atmosphere was a little stiff.
At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.
Robert suddenly raised his head and looked over. Patrick appeared at the door of the private room.

The flickering light in the corridor shone on his obscure face and seemed to blur his entire face.
He looked around and strolled in.
Robert was rescued from the stiff atmosphere just now. He quickly said to Patrick in surprise, “Didn't you say that someone else is coming?”
His expression was as if the atmosphere just now had never existed.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Patrick’s sudden appearance disrupted the atmosphere just now. Megan’s expression improved a little.
However, Violet's expression was not as relaxed.
When she saw Patrick, she tensed up and clenched her fists involuntarily.
Patrick glanced at Robert and did not greet Megan and Violet. He said lazily, “He has something on and can’t come at the last minute!”
Robert nodded and said, “Sit down quickly. The four of us can play some little games. together!”
Patrick walked over and sat down beside Violet.
Violet was so nervous that her scalp went numb. She straightened her back and sat there stiffly.
Patrick leaned against the sofa with a lazy expression. “What game do you want to play?”
Robert smiled. “Let’s play Texas Hold’em. The first to lose all the chips will drink as punishment. How about that?”
Patrick raised his eyebrows. “How many people are there to play Texas Hold’em, three
or four? Here...”
His eyes darted around.
Robert knew what he meant and quickly explained, “You, Ms. Webb, and |, only the three of us. Megan has just been discharged from the hospital. It’s still a stomach problem. She can’t drink!”
Patrick sneered. “You're quite considerate!”
Robert smiled. “I'll deal!”
He picked up a brand new deck of playing cards from the table and shuffled them

casually. In his hand, the playing cards seemed to have grown legs. They were exceptionally obedient.
He had to show off his shuffling skills.
Violet did not dare to look at Patrick. She did not understand why she was so nervous when she saw Patrick while it was clearly not her fault that night.
However, she couldn’t control her emotions.
She stiffly
stiffly picked up the cards in front of her, her mind in a mess.
Patrick was sitting not far away from her. She could clearly smell the faint mint smell on Patrick’s body mixed with the smell of smoke. It was cold but affectionate, a little like the feeling he gave people.
Patrick casually picked up the cards and glanced at Violet from the corner of his eye. He realized that she was not looking at him at all and looked a little depressed.
Robert had just dealt the cards when he suddenly saw Megan drinking.
His expression changed, and his voice was cold and angry. “Meggy, what are you doing?”
Violet raised her head and saw that Megan was drinking.
Her expression changed as well.
However, before she could say anything, she heard Megan's cold voice. “I’m just drinking. Do you live by the sea? Robert, you’re going too far!”
Megan was frustrated. She did not want Robert to treat her too well.
She was afraid that Robert would really like her and not say that he was just fooling
around.
She had already failed in her crush. The ending was as tragic as it could be. She did not. want Robert to end up like this. Although Robert was known as a p layboy, he was a good friend. He treated people sincerely and was loyal!
Robert’s face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’m just worried that you'll end up in the hospital!”
Megan's voice was cold and her eyes flashed. “I know what to do!”
Violet could tell that Megan did not really want to drink. She was just a little frustrated.

As for why she was frustrated, as her best friend for many years, she could roughly.
guess.
She spoke before Robert could. “Mr. Foster, don’t worry. Meggy won't joke about her body!”

After saying that, she looked at Megan. “Megan, be careful. You’ve just been discharged!”
Megan nodded and pursed her lips in silence.
Patrick was silent as if he was watching a large stage play.
However, his gaze had never left her face since Violet started talking.
Robert held the cards in his hand. His knuckles were a little white. He looked at Violet with a faint smile and a hint of coldness. “Ms. Webb, do you bet?”
