Chapter 75-bet

Karl pov

I raised my eyebrow slightly, the lighter in my hand spinning between my fingers, and I remained silent. 

Cecilia stopped and continued, "Monica, they..." She rattled off several names in quick succession, all of them the names of my admirers she had heard about from the online forum and others.

"Among these people, is there anyone you like?" she asked. 

I sighed in relief, scratched my ear casually with my index finger, finding this conversation rather boring and time-wasting. I nonchalantly continued walking, shrugging my shoulders.

"Karl!" Cecilia raised her voice, catching up with me, a hint of urgency in her tone. "You could actually find a girl you like, you know? Try having a real relationship."

"Why is it your business?" I replied, lifting an eyelid to look at her. There was a faint hint of tension on her face, but she suppressed the sharp glint in her eyes.

"Do you want to?" she continued to ask.
