Chapter 569: The Awakening of the Steel-Straight Men
"Ethan nodded decisively.
Alexander looked at him incredulously. "Ethan, are you going through a midlife crisis? Or have you had a revelation? You have always prioritized your career, haven't you?"
Blushing, Ethan rubbed his hands together. "It's only natural to go through a phase of yearning! Besides, even a steel-straight man like you has had a revelation. How could I not? Alex, I want to follow your example, find a virtuous wife, and have adorable children..."
Alexander remained silent.
Was he really a steel-straight man?
The helicopter pilot, witnessing the scene, immediately joined in the excitement. "I am also unmarried, Mrs. Ivy, could you find me a companion too?"
Ivy...
Should she open a marriage introduction agency?
In Owen's bedroom,
Owen sat cross-legged on the bed, engrossed in a mobile game, his back facing the door.
Bluey had already entered the room for some time, several times wanting to speak to Owen but hesitating to disturb him.
People who play games probably dislike being interrupted, right?
So she wouldn't disturb him; she would wait quietly for a while.
In truth, Owen didn't really feel like playing games, and he was aware that there were many guests outside.
But after being asked about his shortcomings by Bluey, he felt too embarrassed to face everyone. His self-esteem had been bruised!
He couldn't match Omage in looks, nor Alexander in wealth.
Well, he couldn't get the woman he liked anyway.
So why not stay in the bedroom? Why not play games?
Switching from one level to another, playing alone and having a blast.
Bluey knew that everyone had entered the living room and dinner would probably be served soon, making her a little anxious.
If Owen kept playing games until dinnertime, she wouldn't have a chance to talk to him?
If she didn't clarify things now, it would only lead to deeper misunderstandings in the future.
Their relationship would only drift further apart.
So, she quietly approached him and stood by Owen's side.
She thought he was playing some kind of sophisticated game.
But it turned out to be Tetris!
These were the games she used to play when she was a child.
This man was too cute, wasn't he?
However, when she thought of what her sister and brother-in-law said, about Owen being kidnapped since childhood and enduring many years of hardships at the bottom of a cliff, she couldn't help but feel sympathy.
As another round of the game ended, Owen felt his arm ache and lazily stretched.
He suddenly sensed a different presence behind him and panicked, turning around.
"Bluey! When did you come?"
"Well, about five minutes ago," Bluey said.
"Five minutes..." Owen's heart sank.
This was bad!
Having spent many years practicing martial arts at the bottom of a cliff, he should have had keen senses. But now, he didn't even notice a woman standing behind him for a few minutes.
If Bluey had been an assassin aiming to take his life, he would have already met his end.
Mobile games are truly deceitful!
Nervously jumping off the bed, Owen asked Bluey, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"
"I did knock, but you didn't hear," Bluey blushed.
She did knock when she arrived, but
However, her voice was very soft. Seeing Owen so engrossed in playing games, she didn't dare to continue knocking. "Hey, even when someone knocked on the door, he didn't hear it!" Mobile games are really too addictive! "Do you have something to tell me?"
Owen felt a bit uneasy. "Um, I want to chat with you..." Bluey blushed and lowered her head shyly. When they first met, she was bold enough to joke and laugh with Owen, relying on her older sister and brother-in-law being present. But now, chatting alone, she suddenly felt a bit nervous. "What do you want to chat about? My flaws?"
Owen turned his face slightly with a hint of insecurity. "Didn't I tell you earlier? I never went to school, and I don't understand any manners..."
