Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Clearly, he was on cloud nine right now.

The atmosphere got increasingly awkward on the spot, Kurt kept getting knocked back and finally

decided to stop arguing with Maja It was just getting him more irked He sucked in a deep breath and

told the dealer, “Deal the cards.”

The dealer pulled out the deck after making sure everyone was ready

The crowd around Maja was packed, many were there for a spectacle. But quite a few felt sorry for

her.

She had just promised to double the payback without knowing the value of the chips. Didn’t that mean

she would owe Tyler two billion later?

Plus, as a newble, she dared to join a no limit Texas Hold’em game, a game that could leave you

broke, something even seasoned players treated with caution

Not to mention, the table was full of top–tier rich folks who had never seen Maja before.

Maja sat up straight. The two on her right had placed their bets at one million and two million,

respectively.

Then it was her tum to speak

She glanced at her two–hole cards, thought for a moment, then decided to fold.

Everyone thought it was a hoot when they saw her do this.

Dana, sitting not too far away, couldn’t help but speak up, not mincing her words.

“If you don’t know how to play, don’t hog the spot. No one’s got time to watch you make a fool of

yourself.”

Maja arched an eyebrow, asking the dealer, “Am I not allowed to fold?”

The dealer looked a bit embarrassed, “You can.”

But she decided to fold even before a community card was dealt. It seemed as if she was too scared to

lose money.

If that’s the case, why would she take the seat?

Those who join a no–limit Texas Hold’em game are rich. If you don’t have the chops, don’t pretend to

be a bigshot. The crowd was noisy and filled with jeers.

The spectators were getting a bit antsy, but Maja didn’t even bat an eye.

She placed a bet in the second round and lost a million.

She placed a bet in the third round and lost another million.

Just as the fourth round started, Kurt couldn’t help but scoff.

“Only losing a million each round, we’ve never seen a penny–pincher like you.”

His words échoed with quite a few people.

“Leaver Why do you even play if you don’t know how?”

“If you can’t afford to lose, don’t embarrass yourself here. Next!”

“So boring. Women should stay at home with the kids; what are you doing here?”

The whispers got louder and louder.

Nevertheless, Maja only placed two bets in the fourth round, losing three million. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She lost the least, while the one who lost the most was, naturally, lan.

But lan had been silent all along. When he looked at his cards, he merely glanced at them as If the

money he lost was just paper to him. His card–holding fingers were long and strong, and his knuckles

were as flawless as fine porcelain, It made you want to take a closer look,

During the wait, Maja took another look at him.

He lifted his head, and their eyes met in mid–air.

She showed no embarrassment; instead, she smiled graciously as if her glance wasn’t a sneak peek

lan calmly lowered his head, his hands resting on the chair, and remained expressionless.

In Dana’s eyes, Maja’s behavior was undoubtedly disrespectful. She had the audacity to lure him in

front of so many people.

How infuriating! Let’s see what she does when she’s left in ruins!

Amidst the chatter, Maja calmly waited for the fifth round.

Even Tyler, who was sitting in the middle, couldn’t help but look at her.

Maja seemned unfazed by the pressure. When her turn came, she glanced at her cards.

This time, she followed without hesitation, betting four million.

Kurt sneered from the side, ridiculing her without mercy, “Am I seeing things? The penny–pincher is

willing to shell out money now?”
