Ned was squirming on the side, like, "Man, that was awkward."
Stanley. Maybe you should think before you speak? You've already admitted Chloe is someone else's wife. What right do you have to argue?
Nathan couldn't help but chuckle. This guy was just too funny. But did he really want to mess with his brother?
He eyed Stanley from head to toe with a look of doubt.
Stanley felt uneasy the moment he saw Nathan's gaze, "What's with that look?"
Nathan smirked, "Aren't you planning to mess with my brother?"
"As a man, we should prove ourselves with strength... Hey, Chloe, what are you two whispering about on the side?"
Chloe had a good handle on Stanley. He could be a bit careless sometimes, and wouldn’t take some things to heart, but when he got serious, you couldn’t underestimate him. So, to ensure Damon wouldn’t be messed with, she pulled him aside to confirm if he was up for it.
If he really lost, she probably wouldn't mind, but men's pride...
"Damon, can you handle it? If not..."
"Do you think I can't?"
Chloe was overly worried and spoke bluntly, causing Damon's voice and expression to darken.
"Uh..." Chloe hesitated, "You know, Stanley is a simple-minded guy... and those simple-minded folks usually have strong physiques, and you... you're too smart..."
"So, you think I'm physically weak?"
Chloe felt she had made a good point, but he misunderstood her.
"Don't worry, I'm not simple-minded, and I'm physically capable."
Chloe was both amused and exasperated, "You're such a dignified man. Could you stop saying things that are beneath you?"
"Stanley, don't underestimate..."
"Hey, Chloe, what are you two whispering about?" They had just exchanged a few words when Stanley turned and voiced agitatedly.
Chloe sighed helplessly, turning to Stanley, "Have you decided what to play?"
Stanley glanced at Damon and chuckled, "Let's go horseback riding. I miss the days when I taught you in England!"
Damon's face immediately turned cold as he looked at Chloe beside him. "He taught you horseback riding?"
Chloe remained silent, which was an admission.
Damon's face turned even colder. Learning horseback riding was not a big deal; what mattered to him was the process of teaching. Even though it was in the past, now that he knew, he couldn't let it go!
