Henry asked without a word “ac”
When Henry began to doubt their identities, Nina and Gabriel were taken aback. The two socially unaware individuals saw the sincerity in Henry’s bright eyes and didn’t know how to respond. They felt a pang of guilt for lying to him.
In the end. Charlic, the heartless one, replied calmly, “What organization! We only met Gabriel once–at the basketball court. We played well because we had no other entertainment and happened to be talented in basketball. It’s not as complicated as you think.”
When Nina and Gabriel heard Charlie say this, they wondered if such a simple reason could really be brushed off.
But immediately after, Henry looked enlightened. Then, he laughed loudly and said. “I see! Looks like I’m overthinking?”
Nina and Gabriel were speechless seeing that Henry believed it
Humphrey and Greg were surprised too. “Henry is indeed a basketball idiot they thought “A pure idiot!”
Meanwhile, Rachel and Jessica stood at the basketball court entrance, secretly observing. They felt relieved upon hearing Charlie’s explanation.
In turned out they met while playing the basketball. They assumed that people from the countryside did not have much means of entertainment.
Hmph. No wonder they were ignorant and incompetent. They spent all their time playing basketball, Jessica thought.

Hence, Henry grinned at Charlie and invited, “Charlie, you’re really strong! It’s a pity that you don’t play basketball with such good talent. Come to my basketball team. I gurantee that I’ll make you an are!”

“Alright! Give me an answer after you’ve thought it through!” said Henry
Seeing that Henry, who had always been cold to Charlie, had now accepted Clurlie, Rachel, and Jessica, who were standing at the door, could not help but grit their teeth. Damn itf
The situation was completely different from what they had imagined. They had expected Nina to struggle against Henry and try to feign weakness to decrive him. Instead, to their surprise, she and her friend actually defeated him.

However, Henry was not angry. On the contrary, their relationship seemed to have in
Jessica felt anxious. She had always wanted to bond with Henry, but he rarely interacted with girls. Whenever she tried to get closer, Henry would show impatience. Eventually, Jessica gave up on the idea of connecting with him. Yet now it seemed Henry didn’t mind getting along with girls who played basketball.

Jessica glared at the hasketball court, her face contorting with anger as she watched Nina bond with her brothers. To make matters worse, Jessica’s features resembled those of his late wife. Emily. Seeing her twist her face like that left Darell feeling quite displeased.
