Chapter 52 Chapter 52: I Learned It From My Ex
Ingemar immediately said, “You are still a college student, right? You look just over twenty years old. You haven’t finished your university yet, have you?”
Estelle smiled helplessly and explained, “I’m already twenty-six years old.”
Ingemar asked in surprise, “Twenty-six years old? Really?”
“Yes, Rebecca and I were classmates. We are of the same age,” Estelle said.
“It’s so unbelievable!” Ingemar said as he gazed at her. “You look much younger than Rebecca.”
Hearing that, Rebecca glared at him and hit him on the head, saying, “Ingemar, how dare you say I’m old? Humph. Forget it. Since you praised my friend just now, I’ll let it slide. But you’d better watch your mouth in the future!”
At this time, the other men finished a round of the game, turned around simultaneously, and saw Estelle standing next to Ingemar.
One of them came over, put his arm around Ingemar’s neck, and said, “Ingemar, you are really something. Is this your new girlfriend? So you broke up with the starlet that you brought here before? Well, your new girlfriend is much more beautiful than the previous one. With my piercing eyes, I can see that she is absolutely a natural beauty. She’s different from the starlet with a fake and stiff face.”
Hearing that, Ingemar got anxious and said at once, “What are you talking about? I don’t have an ex-girlfriend at all.”
“You won’t admit it? Miss, don’t date him. He is a playboy and has countless ex-girlfriends. Don’t fall in love with him,” The man said.
At this time, the others also came up and warmly greeted Estelle.
Rebecca immediately stood before Estelle to protect her and warned them, “My friend has not been well recently. Behave yourself, and don’t touch her.”
Ingemar asked, “Miss Hudson, what’s wrong with you? I know several foreign medical experts. I can help you make an appointment with them.”
Estelle refused with a faint smile, “No, thanks. I think that the domestic doctors are good enough.”
“Alright...” Ingemar was a little disappointed.
Seeing this, the others burst into laughter.
Someone said to Estelle, “Miss, Ingemar is accosting you. Ingemar, you screwed up. Your accosting skill doesn’t work. This lady doesn’t fall for it.”
Hearing that, Ingemar said, with his face flushed with embarrassment. “Would you cut it out? Let’s continue the game.”
“How about we play billiards?”
“Okay. And we’ll play in pairs as before. Miss Hudson, I’m very skilled. We will win if we are a pair. How about we team up with each other?”
“Hahaha, Ingemar, what are you skilled in? Make it clear!” Someone joked with Ingemar with a meaningful smile.
Ingemar said anxiously, “Shut up and don’t talk nonsense anymore. I’m talking about the skills of playing billiards. Is there any problem?”
“No. But this lady may not want to be your teammate!”
Estelle then smiled and said, “I’m willing to be his teammate.”
“Great. It’s a deal. Let’s go to the billiards area now!” Ingemar said happily.
Walking from the board game area to the billiards area took several minutes.
On the way, Ingemar stayed by Estelle’s side all the time and was attentive to her.
He either asked Estelle if she wanted to drink something or asked her if she could adapt to the environment here.
Rebecca was speechless when seeing his behaviour.
She pushed him away and asked, “Ingemar, don’t you think you are too enthusiastic?”
Ingemar shrugged and said frankly, “Loving beauty is part of human nature.”
After arriving at the billiards area, the others teamed up freely.
Rebecca teamed up with a man named Johnny. Their first game would be against Estelle and Ingemar.
Ingemar, who was a people person, rolled up her sleeves cheerfully and said excitedly to Estelle, “Estelle, just sit here and watch us. I’ll win the game!”
Holding the cue, Rebecca retorted and said, “Stop bragging. Don’t look down on us!”
“Don’t give me the chance to hit the ball. Or I’ll pot all the balls in one break, and you will lose,” Ingemar said.
Rebecca retorted, “Even professional players may be unable to make it. You are overconfident.”
“Let’s wait and see. Don’t cry if you lose.”
At this moment, Estelle said softly, “Since all of you are so awesome, how about I be the starting player? I’m afraid that I won’t have a chance to participate in it if any of you makes a clearance.”
Ingemar said naturally, “No problem. Do as you like, and don’t be nervous.”
Jonny covered his mouth, laughed, and joked, “Ingemar, it’s the first time that I’ve seen a playboy like you so serious about a girl. Wonders will never cease!”
Ingemar snorted and didn’t take his words seriously. Then he said, “I’m not a playboy. When I meet my true love, I’m more faithful than any man.”
Hearing that, Estelle didn’t say anything. She picked up a cue skillfully and rubbed the tip gently with powder.
After that, she fixed her eyes on the cue ball, bent down to adjust the cue, and hit the cue ball. The balls that had been gathered together scattered in different directions, and four balls directly rolled into different pockets.
The next moment, the others present stopped talking and fell into silence.
With full attention, Estelle found a perfect angle and chose the object ball of her next hit. Finally, after thinking for a while, she put the cue ball in the right position.
Then, she bent down and finished her second hit. Then was her third hit, the fourth hit…
In the end, all the objective balls were hit into the pockets. Meanwhile, Ingemar didn’t have the chance to hit the ball.
With a smile, Estelle chuckled, put the cue back in place, and said, “I haven’t played billiards for a long time, and I became a little rusty.”
“You... became rusty?” Ingemar stood there, dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Jonny and Rebecca couldn’t help laughing.
“Ingemar, you really didn’t have a chance to hit the ball, haha!”
Ingemar stared at the billiard table in shock and didn’t react.
“Miss Hudson, you are just as good as a professional billiards player. Who did you learn to play billiards from? I want to learn from them too.”
Estelle’s smile faded away, and she said, “I learned it from... my ex-husband.”
Cristofer liked playing billiards very much when they were students and often took her to billiards clubs. When Cristofer played billiards with his friends, she sat aside and did her homework while waiting for him.
Later, Cristofer taught her how to play billiards. She learned quickly and could play it very well. And she could often tie with Cristofer.
