Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 225

I said modestly, "No, it's just that you're more skilled. As you can see, I'm just an amateur."

"An amateur player is still guided by a master. From your play, it doesn't seem like Derick was your instructor. Who taught you?" Eden inquired.

All my skills in billiards came from learning from Chris. He never formally taught me, I just watched him play.

Later, when I got bored, I started practicing on my own. I observed Chris' techniques, so my style of play naturally mirrored his. When he noticed I could play well, he often asked me to join him for a game.

Before I could respond, a familiar voice cut in, "When did you become so gossipy, Mr. Griffins ? Always prying into everything?"

I didn't turn around, but I recognized the voice immediately. Chris had arrived.

The atmosphere was getting lively. He stood next to me, his presence making Eden understand everything without a word.

"So, that's why Maddie's playing style resembles yours. It turns out that..." Eden paused. His gaze shifted between me and Chris.

Then, Eden's eyes widened with realization. "Is Maddie your childhood bride?"
