Chapter 68-Karl's Wager 

Cecilia's pov

The sun blazed overhead, cicadas sang ceaselessly, and an intense basketball game was unfolding on the court.

I could hear the squeak of sneakers against the plastic floor, sweat was flying, and basketballs thudded on the ground.

The hormones of adolescence were in full swing, creating quite a commotion.

"Oh my God, what's Karl up to!"

"Ah, ah, ah, is he going to take his clothes off?"

"Oh, Mom! I can't bear to watch!"

Amid a cacophony of excited screams, I turned my gaze toward the central figure.

In my line of sight, a guy was nonchalantly taking off his black jersey with one hand. He stood tall at 188 centimeters, his physique was lean and muscular, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. 

His well-defined abdominal muscles, engorged from the exercise, were on full display. Along his clear-cut V-line, there was even a tattoo of a crossed abstract torch.
