Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

The atmosphere suddenly eased a lot, and everyone around the poker table let out a long sigh of relief.

He really wanted to reveal his hand, but after retracting his gaze, Elijah carelessly threw one card out.

With a slight raise in his eyebrow, he said, "I'm not really interested in seeing a view that's so common."

In other words, he was saying she looked ordinary and that she had nothing for him to look at.

Then, he turned his head and slowly looked at Carolien. His cold eyes seemed to be harmless, but his deep voice revealed a clear warning.

"Especially not for someone so ostentatious!"

As a mother, how could she not know her limits? Elijah wasn't the kind of man who would be interested in just any woman. Even if she was a goddess, he did not care.

Just as he recalled something, his face fell. He hated it. Looking at her, she didn't seem like she was new to this. Who knew how many partners she had slept with before?

"Dirty!"

His words were a blatant warning and rejection.

His face turned cold. Carolien quickly withdrew and curled up her little feet, not daring to move anymore.

As he felt the feet under him disappear, frustration rose in his heart. His expression was very ugly as he grabbed a card and threw it out without even looking.

Meanwhile, Alfred could sense the strange atmosphere between the two. The game should have ended by now. He did not dare to do anything as he continued drawing cards and playing the game. Similarly, Mr. Dion had a dazed face as he followed suit. They played the game according to whatever card Elijah put out.

They were trembling with fear. This game had been going on for a long time. Seeing that the cards on the table were getting fewer and fewer, the two players who were caught in between were trembling and unconsciously gave each other a subtle look.

"Will it be a draw?"

"Why has no one ended the game yet? What should I play?"

"What hand do I show? Should I continue or not?"

On the other side, looking at the cards, Carolien's beautiful eyebrows were damp with sweat. "Why is my luck so bad? How do I turn this hand around? I was so busy playing footsie earlier, I completely forgot about my cards!"

After having drawn so many cards, she still didn't hadn't come across the card she wanted. There should have been at least one desirable card by now. This couldn't be!

Carolien kept her eyes and ears peeled. Her gaze shifted constantly around the table. Not only that, but she also had to pay attention to her feet and her clothes. Right now, Carolien was in a real pickle. Her heart was filled with anxiety.

Outside the door, Lukas had arrived with several friends. Lifting his gaze, he saw Aydin on a phone call, as well as Hudson, who was walking out. In his excitement, he dragged his friends and ran over.

"Hey, Hudson!"

Before he could stop Hudson, he saw the familiar faces in the private room. He stepped in and asked, "Is Elijah here too?"

"Wow, poker! Alfred, what kind of friend are you? How could you not invite me to join? Elijah is playing and you didn't even bother to ask me to come and watch!"

The sudden interruption made the people around the table look at him distractedly. However, no one answered. At this time, after choosing for a long time, Mr. Dion was still indecisive. Finally, he changed the cards in his hand and threw them out.

He said with uncertainty, "Full house!"

Carolien's eyes lit up instantly. "What the hell!"

Almost at the same time, a man's voice sounded. "F*k!"

In an instant, it was like a bomb had dropped. Before everyone could react, Lukas

was already patting Alfred and laying his cards down. "Alfred, are you daydreaming? You have a flush right here. Didn't you notice? Your cards are perfect."noveldrama

With one sentence, Carolien's smile froze completely.

Elijah shot a glare over. With a nasty expression, he looked at Alfred, as though saying, "Who said you could win? Especially winning through someone else's hand."

Alfred had no choice but to rub his forehead while thinking embarrassedly, "It's not like I wanted to get a flush. If my luck comes, can't stop it. In fact, he had gotten flush several times already. They had already been playing this round until the cards were soft. Who would have expected him to get a flush?"

Turning his head, he also gave Mr. Dion a hard look, as if to say, "Who asked you to put your card down first?"

Mr. Dion's face sank. He was at a loss for words. How was he supposed to know

his actions would lead to Alfred's victory? If he had known, he would have played something else. More importantly, he had actually been holding back his hands as well.

Several people turned back with criticizing and awkward gazes.

Unaware of what was going on, Lukas leaned one arm on Alfred's shoulder and said with excitement, "He won! Alfred, I'll take credit for this. Remember to give half to me."

As soon as he finished his words, a pair of eyes shot over at him like cold arrows. After taking a call, Hudson and Aydin were standing dumbfounded by the door.

Faced with the dire situation before her, Carolien almost burst into tears. Who could she blame for her luck? She had come so close to winning, but someone else beat her to it.

The air suddenly froze. When Lukas took a look around, he realized that the atmosphere was weird.

Confused, he subconsciously raised his hand to nudge Alfred. "What's going on?"

Alfred turned his head around. If

looks could kill, Alfred would have Lukas chopped up into pieces. Lukas was really something. Of all the times for him to show up, he came now to be such a huge burden! Couldn't he see that Elijah's face was as dark as could be? How could he think it was appropriate to scream in excitement?

Retracting his faze, Elijah slammed his cards down with a bang. There was no point in looking at his hand now. Since he had been dealt his cards, he had no strong cards to play.

His action was like the official announcement to end the game.

In the next second, everyone's gaze turned to the main seat. Carolien, who was already dressed lightly, held her breath even more. She did not even dare to breathe too heavily.

After a pause, Lukas noticed the woman's getup and look. "Isn't that..." Shocked, he turned his eyes and saw a patch of red on the side of the ground. Suddenly, he realized something. He covered his eyes, squatted down, turned toward the door, and hid directly behind Aydin.

"Have I gotten myself in trouble?"

For a long time, everyone did not move. Elijah held his forehead with one hand.

He did not look at Carolien, say anything, urge her, or move to leave. The

atmosphere was ice cold at this point.

There were both genders in the
