Chapter 192
Men were most sensitive about being doubted in that area.
Even someone as outstanding as Conrad cared about such evaluations. Moira found it somewhat amusing. She didn’t laugh out loud, but the curve of her lips was quite noticeable.
Conrad clearly noticed her change in mood. His hand, which was around her waist, mischievously pinched the soft flesh at her side.
The pinch was light but Moira still felt it. Seeing the flicker of fire in his eyes, her cheeks involuntarily flushed. She quickly looked away, picked up the juice beside her, and took a sip to hide her discomfort.
“Anything else after that?” Moira suddenly asked.
After all, everyone was just playing cards in silence, and the atmosphere felt quite strange,
Of course, she would never admit that she wanted to hear more about his past
When Jeff heard her ask, he felt the urge to share more. But before speaking, he glanced at Conrad. Seeing that Conrad didn’t stop him, he smiled and said. “Then the rumor spread that Conrad wasn’t capable, and everyone thought he and Alex were a couple, thinking he was gay”
Both Alex and Conrad were stunned.
Moira was a bit surprised because Alex often appeared in entertainment gossip headlines, so she knew the man smoking quietly beside her was indeed Alex.
At twenty–seven, Alex had a face that could easily win over women. Unlike Conrad’s sharp and refined features. Alex had a subtle rebellious aura. wild and unrestrained
This kind of man reminded Morra of a protagonist straight out of a comic book.
Seeing Moira staring at Alex, Conrad felt displeased and pinched her again. She snapped out of it and looked at him, puzzled. “Are you two really a couple?”
Given his strong
ong needs in bed, which she sometimes found hard to handle, Moira didn’t believe Conrad was gay
But she knew how to make him uncomfortable.
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, she noticed that Conrad’s face darkened.
Jeff, enjoying the moment, added fuel to the fire: “I was never sure if Conrad liked men or women before, but I can assure you, Alex is a pure
straight guy
Conrad was surprised
Moira burst
st into laughter,
It was her first laugh of the evening. Conrad had been feeling a bit down, but seeing her happy, he decided not to say anything.
This game of cards lasted for two hours and ended at almost ten o’clock.
Moira had more wins than losses today. Seeing her account balance increase by over $700,000 made this far more profitable than her job.
However, she knew that without Conrad, they wouldn’t have played with her.
So, Moira said, “I can share half of today’s winnings with you”
Conrad looked straight ahead with a faint smile and said. “No need, you keep it. I said all your winnings are yours?
He did say that
He also said that any losses would be on him, and he took on all the risks. Moira knew she couldn’t keep it all, especially since they w divorced. It was better to be clear about financial matters
“Your bank card is still with me. I’ll transfer it to you later.
Conrad frowned and was about to spe morning?”

Conrad unddenly slammed on the brakes
Accompanied by the sharp sound of the wheels rubbing again the ground, the Maybach suddenly stopped in the middle of the road.
Moira was jerked forward by the sudden stop her body pulled back by the seatbelt, crashing into the seatback behind her.
Her face turned pale and her heartbeat raced. She turned angrily to Conrad “Conrad, are you crazy?
Although it was very late, there was still a traffic jam in the city center at this time. His sudden stop in the middle of the road posed a significant risk. of being rear ended by the cars behind.
Sure enough, the sound of car horns and angry shouts from drivers quickly followed from behind.
Conrad ignored in and looked at her with dark, intense eyes, his expression clearly displeased. “You still want a divorce?”
