Chapter 68
After the sports event, Simone and Quinn got better and better.
Quinn invited Simone to watch him play a basketball game on Sunday. When Simone arrived at the basketball court. Quinn’s friends to comfomable seat in the center with a cushion on it.
Where is Quinn?” Simone looked around but didn’t see Quinn.
Finn explained. “Quinn stays with the coach now. He told us to take care of you

Then Finn pulled out several large bags from behind his friends and said. “Simone, look at these things we got for you, water, drinks, and snacks.”
Simone stared at the three massive bags in front of her, her eyes widening in disbelief. Thank you so much. You’re so sweet”
Ethan flashed a playful smile at Simone and said, “You’re welcome. Just enjoy yourself. Quinn told us to take good care of y
“Alright, we’re leaving now,” he said and walked away with his friends.

The game hadn’t begun. Simone felt a bit bored and leisurely ate the snacks in the bags. After a while. Quinn and his guys walked onto the court in their team shirts. Quinn waved at Simone when he looked up at her.
Simone silently mouthed, Fighting. Quinn!TM
No one else noticed it, but Quinn saw it clearly. A faint smile tugged a
at the corners of his lips.
At that moment, the other team walked onto the court too.
Seeing the players of the other team, Simone sighed, “Just my luck! It’s them again.”“
They were Raymond and his two guys, along with a few unfamiliar faces. They stepped onto the court, cocky as hell Marico even shot Quinn’s team a thumbs down.
Quinn remained calm, but Ethan was fuming. These bastards with no respect! I have to teach them a lesson,” said Ethan as he was about to rush
Quinn pressed Ethan’s shoulder and said, “Stay calm. He looked across the court at the taunting boy and said coldly, “We’ll see who’s the real loser on the coun
Raymond shot a venomous glare at Quinn and said contemptuously. “Fine! Let’s see if the losers from vocational school even know how to fightTM
“Alright, you guys ready to get started“” The referee’s voice came just in time, and the game kicked off with a whistle.
Two teams quickly got into the game. Quinn made a sharp move to grab the ball first and passed it to a teammate in the distance.
Quinn and his team cooperate naturally. They took the lead at the beginning.
Raymond realized he had underestimated his opponents and immediately shifted gears. Slowly but steadily, they clawed their way back into the
game.
Sweat was pouring down Quinn’s and the others‘ faces, but none of them dared to let their g
guard down.
Halftime came with Quinn team down
down by one, 24:25. Everyone headed back to their respective benches
Simone was waiting at the bench for Quinn. Unexpectedly, Raymond came first.
Cursuing under her breath, Simone turned to leave when Raymond stopped her
Raymond froze for a moment when he saw Simone “Why are you here?” said Raymond as his gaze landed on the bottles of water Simone was holding.
Hayamond thought, I knew it. She’s stubborn as hell, but she’ll come around sooner or later. It always does. I’ve grown used to it
Behaal him, Marico and Jerry looked at Simone in union, with identical we–knew–it expressions.
Kaymond thought, “1 planned to give her a hard time, but I indeed wronged her before, so I’d better let it go Impatiently. Raymond stretched out his lund and barked, “Alright, bring it here”
“What?” Simone said, confused
Chapter 68
“Dont play dumb. You’re here to make amends, aren’t you?” Before she could process his words. Raymond snatched the bar from her hands and handed out the bottles to Marico and Jerry.
“Make amends‘ In your dreams snapped Simone as she finally
y understood what he meant and fury exploded in her chest
This isnt for you! Go buy your own if you want. Or you can’t afford a bottle of water?” she said sarcastically.
With that, Simone snatched the bag back from Raymond and the bottles from Marico and Jerry and stuffed them back into the bar
Marco and Jerry grabbed his arms in time. Furious, be shouted, “Simone, are you crazy! I
Raymond staggered back, hirely keeping his balance offer you a trice, and you throw it back in my face?”
Jaymond thought. I stayed away for a bit and she just got even worse.
Marico glanced at Simone with disdain and sneered. “Simone, drop the act. You’re here to butter up Raymond, aren’t your Who else would you be
here for!”
Raymond didn’t say anything, but his face said it all.
Just then. Quinn and his gang walked toward them. Simone shot a cold glance at Raymond and his friends, her voice laced with mockery. “Don’t flatter yourselves” Then she grabbed her things and ran toward Quinn
Here, Quinn, have some water. Simone handed Quinn a bottle, and then passed the rest to the guys behind him.
Quinn took the bottle but paused, his gaze drifting toward Raymond and his gang. He caught a weird vibe from their looks. Curious, he asked. “What did you just say to them?”
Simone didn’t even spare them a glance. She said flatly. “Nothing. They were barking on their own.
Her words had barely come out when Raymond stormed up to them, eyes blazing. “Say that again, I dare yo
you, Simone,‘ snared Raymond.
Seeing Raymond approaching, Quinn frowned and stepped in front of Simone without hesitation.
Simone wasn’t intimidated. From behind Quinn’s back, she smirked at Raymond. “I said you were barking like a mad dog
“You” Raymond said through gritted teeth, fury burning in his chest. He thought, ‘I didn’t care about her calling me a mad dog, but she couldn’t get so close to another guy. It’s driving me crazy: Raymond couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you so close to him?”
The moment Raymond said that, he wished he hadn’t. He thought, ‘I used to be unhappy when Simone got close to me. But she never listened to me and kept pestering me
Raymond suddenly realized since Simone had fallen out with his family, she didn’t bother him anymore.
