Chapter 2324
Marina stood frozen, eventually succumbing to his persuasive kiss. Within his skilled embrace, Marina could find no trace of emotion, only the practiced art of a kiss. Still, an unspoken intimacy clouded around them, making her heart race uncontrollably. She'd never thought a minute could feel so eternal. His timing was impeccable, ending the kiss precisely after a minute, stepping back with a polite smile, "If you ever need this kind of help again, I'm your guy. And I'll make sure it's a perfect experience for you!"
Squeezing the words through clenched teeth, Marina managed to say, "Well, thanks for that!" Avoiding the mocking glances of the other men, she hurried away.
As soon as they started kissing, Magdalen had turned Kya away, holding her close, while Estelle sat by her side, distracting her with a lollipop. Upon returning, Marina wiped her mouth with a tissue, declaring, "Alright, punishment's over. Let's get on with the next game!"
Susanna looked a bit pale but urged, "Yes, let's keep it moving." This time, it was Amiee dealing the cards. Magdalen couldn't help but gloat as she revealed her hand, "Bet nobody's got anything to beat this!" Her trio of fives drew a collective sigh from the group, revealing their cards in turn. Susanna had a mix of three, four, and six, all different suits, the weakest hand.
Without a hint of malice, Magdalen asked, "Ms. Murphy, truth or dare?" Without hesitation, Susanna chose, "Dare!" "See? That's the spirit!" Magdalen turned towards Marina, who simply took a swig of her drink, ignoring the comment.
Magdalen then looked at Susanna with a mild smile, "Then please, Ms. Murphy, go to Mr. Foster and ask for a slap. Let's see if he has the guts to do it?"
The room went silent, surprised by the request, wondering if Magdalen had misspoken. After all, Susanna was engaged to Andrew! Only Estelle, still busy with her lollipop and entertaining Kya, showed no sign of shock. Susanna's eyes sparkled with a mix of dread and anticipation, almost standing up before Magdalen finished, "See if Mr. Foster dares to slap you."
Susanna froze in place. Amiee looked down a slight smirk playing on her lips. This is your idea of a dare?" Susanna asked, disbelief in her voice. "I think it's quite the adventure, more thrilling than the rest Magdalen's face lit up with excitement. "Go ask him. Whether Mr. Foster slaps you or not, that's on him."
Reluctantly, Susanna stood up, making her way to Carson. As Marina had just returned from a similar darè, Charlie and the others thought Susanna might have gotten confused in her drunken state Carson's expression softened, contemplating how to refuse
without offending Andrew's dignity.
Andrew, however, appeared quite amused, casually sipping his drink as if watching a play unfold. "Mr. Foster, could you would you slap me?" Susanna asked, her voice tinged with a forced bravery.
The room burst into laughter. Carson smiled, "May I ask who came up with this request?" Susanna's cold laugh barely concealed her disdain, "Ms. Sampson."
Morrison adjusted his glasses, apologizing to Andrew, "Sorry, Magdalen tends to joke a lot." Andrew waved it off, "It's all in good fun, nothing too outrageous for a game!"
Mr. Foster jokingly turned to Andrew, "What do you say? If I don't slap her, I'm disrespecting Ms. Murphy. But if I do, wouldn't you feel bad for her?" Andrew laughed it off, "Pretend I'm not here. Just focus on not letting Susanna down!"
Carson chuckled, "Well, that's aContent is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
problem. I've never hit a woman, and
I don't intend to start now." Charlie jumped in, "So, what now? Looks like in,"
Ms. Sampson is still waiting for an outcome!" Jonathan, sitting at the head of the table, exchanged Pa knowing look with Estelle, their expressions unreadable yet clearly entertained by the unfolding drama.
