Billionaire ’s Unforgettable First Love novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Playing Games

Issac Linberton gave a bitter smile, "You always bring up the topic I don't want to talk about."

"It seems like you didn't succeed in chasing her."

Issac Linberton sighed with a touch of bitterness in his voice, "She got married."

"And you're not the groom."

He gave a cold stare to Edison Yates, "Does your girlfriend know how snarky you are?"

"..."

Issac Linberton poured himself a glass of water, but before he could drink it, Edison Yates spoke again, "I remember a medical family's daughter who was very interested in you."

"Stop it."

"Has she turned you down too?"

"That medical family's daughter already has someone she likes."

Edison Yates made a meaningful "oh" sound, "Poor guy, even the backup is gone."

Issac Linberton took a sip of water, put the glass down, and calmly retorted, "There's still your sister."

Edison Yates's smile suddenly froze, and he slowly turned his face to look at Issac Linberton in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Your sister hasn't come back to the country yet?"

"You and my sister..."

"Curious?"

"..."

"I'm not telling you."

Edison Yates was speechless.

Gwenyth Lovelace remained silent, listening to the two men bickering, her thoughts drifting away unconsciously.

In her mind, there always flashed a scene from three years ago when she went to congratulate Edison Yates on his graduation at school, and he ignored her presence.

At that time, Edison Yates's attitude could be described as cold and indifferent, which left her feeling confused.

He ignored her and pretended not to recognize her. She didn't have the courage to approach him, so she could only watch him from afar until he disappeared, and then she silently left.

Afterward, she thought about it and realized that it had been a year since she moved out of the Yates famliy's house, so Edison Yates might have forgotten about her.

Not long ago, when she unexpectedly met Edison Yates again, he asked her a question: "Have we met before?"

At that time, her answer was that they hadn't met before.

She couldn't forget the way Edison Yates ignored her. He didn't even remember her, why bother to embarrass herself?

Did she have to say that they had met and lived under the same roof for fifteen years?

Even now, Edison Yates still pretended not to recognize her...

She was lost in thought when Edison Yates handed her a menu.

She looked up and found that the server had already come in and was ready to take their order.

She randomly ordered two dishes and handed the menu to the server.

Edison Yates could tell that she was absent-minded, he reached out and put his arm around her shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Your complexion doesn't look good, are you feeling unwell?"

She squeezed out a smile to Edison Yates, "No, I'm fine."

Edison Yates didn't ask anything else, he withdrew his arm and resumed chatting with Lu Issac Linberton.

"Taking a break from a heartbreak, aren't you going to give yourself a vacation?"

Issac Linberton felt that this sounded very awkward, "I didn't have a heartbreak."

It was a feeling that ended before it even began, it was one-sided love on his part.

"Take a few days to recuperate and then go back to the Linberton Group."

This time, he would directly take up the position of CEO of the Linberton Group, taking over his father's role.

"Workaholic."

He chuckled and retorted, "And you're not?"

Edison Yates laughed along, "Yes, I am."

The two of them bantered back and forth, while Gwenyth Lovelace just listened quietly without interrupting.

After the meal, Gwenyth Lovelace didn't say much and was too quiet. Edison Yates sensed that she was upset and wanted to take her out for some fun.

"Let's go to John Hawe's place."

When Issac Linberton remembered John Hawe, he laughed, "Sure, he doesn't even show up when he knows I'm back, is he too busy?"
