Chapter 55 Anticipating The Kiss

 Yes, I will surely lose now.“You should go ahead. I’ll be the last one,” said Tristan.Winter didn’t have the guts to disobey since it was Tristan who told her to play first. There’s no way Tristan is that bad at throwing darts, right? At worst, he will definitely get some points.Winter made her way to the right spot, grabbed a dart, and threw it as well as she could.In the end, however, she got the worst result with only one point.“I’m so sorry. It’s been a while since I last played this game, so I under-performed,” said Winter sadly. She pretended to be disappointed, but she was actually brimming with happiness.She reckoned she finally had the chance to kiss the man she loved, who was right there in Nocturnal.“It’s your turn, Mr. Tristan.”Winter was getting a little eager.“Soph, why does it seem as though Winter wants to lose the game? Is it just me, or is she that obvious?”“It’s not just you. She wants to lose so that she can kiss Tristan. Can you really not see that?”Sophie would have to be an idiot to not know what Winter was planning.“Huh? What the hell? How shameless can that woman get? I can’t believe she came up with a plan like that. Does she really like Uncle Tristan that much? Ugh, this is so disgusting. She is not worthy of him.”Ysabelle would never have put two and two together if Sophie hadn’t pointed it out.“Well… What do we do now? We can’t let her kiss Uncle Tristan, can we?”“What is there for us to do? This is about your Uncle Tristan, and no one can do anything if he’s okay with her kissing him,” Sophie replied.“No, that won’t do. Anyone else can kiss him but her!”“Why not? Aren’t the two of you on good terms?”“She and I are no longer friends, okay? I mean, did you see how she repeatedly goes after you today? I don’t want to be friends with her anymore.”As far as Ysabelle was concerned, anyone who dared to go after her best friend would be deemed an enemy. She didn’t even care who that enemy might be.Tristan gracefully made his way over and picked up a dart.Winter’s gaze moved with the dart.Her heart began thumping fast.The opportunity was so close that she began picturing what it would feel like to press her lips against his. She had been dreaming of that kiss for so long, but she never had the chance to realize it.In a way, she had to thank Ysabelle for it. If it hadn’t been for her, Winter would never have had an opportunity like that.“Oh my gosh, Uncle Tristan…”“What the hell?” said Felix. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.“Uh, Mr. Tristan…”Sophie didn’t say anything. She simply blinked. Okay, he definitely did that on purpose!The dart fell out of the board, so Tristan was the one with the lowest point of zero points.Winter’s smile faded right away. And here I was expecting that kiss eagerly. Yet, this is all I got for waiting patiently?The kiss she had been dreaming of, the opportunity she had been dying for… Everything faded just like that.“I bet Uncle Tristan saw through her schemes. How is he so smart? Man, he lost so perfectly.”Ysabelle was cheering inwardly. I’m okay with Uncle Tristan kissing anyone so long as that person isn’t that scheming b*tch, Winter.“Mr. Tristan, you…”Winter lost her voice. T-That means he saw through my schemes.The other men present knew that Tristan lost on purpose because it was too obvious. I guess he just wants to kiss Sophie, huh?“Excuse me, I have to go to the restroom,” said Sophie. Sh*t! Winter set this stupid trap, and I am not paying for her mistake!Hope began flaring within Winter
