In the end, Lucy could only settle on a broad condition. “How about this, whoever loses will have to promise the winner one thing. No matter what it is, the loser can’t refuse.”
Joel’s eyes suddenly lit up at the words.
He narrowed his eyes and laughed wickedly.
“Are you serious?”
Lucy had no idea that she dug a hole for herself to jump into.
She said righteously, “Of course. A real man never goes back on his words! Whoever cheats is a dog!”
Joel burst out in laughter. “Okay, since you want to bet, I’ll play along with you.”
Thus, the two squared up again and began to bet on the last two balls.
Lucy suddenly thought of a problem. “Wait, what if we both score these balls?”
Joel said, “That’s fine. We’ll just keep going until someone doesn’t score, and that person loses.”
Lucy thought about it and felt that that was fine. It was also fairer.
Thus, she agreed.
Then, they started a new round.
Joel managed to score on the first ball.
Lucy was no exception. After experiencing the few anxious rounds earlier, her present state of mind had stabilized, and she scored as well.
However, there was no such luck for the second ball.
Joel naturally managed to score without any accidents, but Lucy had misadjusted the direction, and the ball went off-course, and did not enter.
She looked at the ball and widened her eyes in surprise.
She did not feel good. How did this happen?
Joel immediately became happy when he saw that the ball did not go on.
Standing there with his club, he laughed. “How about it? Do you admit defeat?”
Lucy wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction and said, “This one doesn’t count. The wind was too strong just now and blew the ball.”
“Tsk.” Joel narrowed his eyes but did not argue. “Fine, if you say it’s the wind, then it’s the wind. Let’s go another round?”
Lucy was slightly surprised. She clearly did not expect him to agree with her.
The sun was shining now, so where did the wind come from? It was obvious that she just refused to admit defeat.
However, the man did not expose her, so she naturally played along.
Thus, she quickly smiled and said, “Yep, yep, one more.”
Little did she know that this was all part of the man’s trap.
The reason he went easy on her was so that she would no longer be able to find an excuse not to fulfill her promise when she lost later.
It was clear to see that Lucy lost the next few rounds.
All the excuses she could come up with were exhausted, but it was as if Lady Luck no longer visited her and had abandoned her. No matter how hard she tried, she was not able to score.
In fact, what she did not realize was that she had been playing for more than an hour. Any normal person’s physical energy would have been exhausted.
Even if she still had strength, the force that her muscles could muster was no longer as precise as before.
That was why she repeatedly missed.
However, it was different for Joel. First of all, he worked out a lot, so an hour of exercise meant nothing to him.
Besides, how long had Lucy played this game? The man had been playing for so many years, so she was no match for him at all.
Thus, in the end, Lucy was completely convinced that she lost to Joel.
Joel naturally knew what she was thinking and did not rush her, and accompanied her to play.
He played everything she wanted and agreed to everything she said.
Besides, no matter how much she delayed it, they would have to go back to their room sooner or later.
In the end, it was almost midnight and there was almost no one left outside. Lucy saw that it was impossible to stall for time any longer and was finally dragged back pitifully to the hotel by the man.
Needless to say, that night was full of amorous movements.
It was the first time in Lucy’s life doing something so humiliating. It simply broke her limits.
The man, on the other hand, was naturally very excited. In the end, no matter how much she begged for mercy, he did not let her go.
The next day, she slept until noon before waking up.
When Lucy woke up, she felt that the corners of her mouth still hurt.
She was the only one in the bedroom. Joel was not around, so he must have gone out.
She got up and went to the bathroom to look at her face in the mirror, and saw that there really was a slight tear in the corner of her mouth. She suddenly wanted to cry.
It was all that man’s fault. He actually wanted her to…
At the thought of what happened last night, her face suddenly turned red again.
She bit her lip and took a tube of ointment and applied it on the corner of her mouth before shuffling off to change her clothes.
Joel came back just as she finished changing.
It was clear that he had gone downstairs for a run judging by how he was still sweating when he returned.
Seeing that she was awake, he walked over and bowed his head to kiss her on the mouth.
It was only after kissing her that he tasted something different. After taking a closer look, he asked, “Did you apply medicine?”
