The Devil's Love For The Heiress

Chapter 65

Chapter 65: We Have Your Girlfriend

“It’s a back-to-back win on The Devil’s Team! For the first time, Alexander Jenkins passed the quarterfinals during the Wimbledon Championships. Like The Devil, he was fast today – fier might have already caught The Devil’s powerful serve,” the sports commentator broadcasted after Carlos and Alexander won their matches. “As for Carlos Ronaldo, ladies and gentlemen, it was expected of him. Despite the current issues surrounding his personal life, The Devil remains to be in control on the tennis court!”

Carlos’ win was no longer a surprise, but Alexander’s newfound enthusiasm impressed many. Immediately after his match, Carlos congratulated his friend, hugging him as he entered the locker rooms. The Devil remarked, “Best game yet?”

A wide grin appeared on Alexander’s face. He replied, “I was surprised myself. I’ve been sleeping better.”

“You are more focused now that Kendra is not disturbing you,” Carlos remarked, leaving them to chuckle, but at the thought of Kendra, they both sneered.

They bathed and changed, hastily heading out, especially since Carlos was eager to share his win with Kate. That day was Kate’s birthday, and they were going to have dinner at the Kentowrthy mansion.

Outside the locker rooms, other players met them, including those in the women’s singles.

“Good game, Alex!”

“The Devil wins again!”

“Congratulations, Carlos!”

“Congrats, Carlos!” Hannah Dil was the same, thrilled as ever to see the Devil. Then she winked at Alexander. “And congratulations to you too, Alex. You are looking hotter every time you win.”

Carlos and Alexander acknowledged with a nod.

Savannah was behind Hannah, talking with Linda White. When Linda congratulated both male athletes, Savannah also gave her best wishes. She said, “Great game, Carlos.” She gulped before mentioning, “Alex. Good luck with the semi-finals.”

Alexander was caught off guard. At the mention of his name, he felt his heart skip a beat. He cleared his throat and said back, ‘Thank you. You had a good game, too.”

“Pfft.” Savannah scoffed, saying, “I lost.”

“Nonetheless, it was a good fight,” Alexander answered. “Tennis isn’t just about winning; it’s how you play

“Nicely said, Alex,” Carlos suggested, tapping on his back. “Will you join us?” He asked Alexander about his dinner with Kate and his sister, Kenzie.

Just then, Savannah’s admirer appeared out of nowhere, carrying a bouquet of flowers. Alexander’s face stiffened. He said to Savannah, “Looks like Romeo is here for you, Savannah.”

He turned to Carlos and answered, “I’ll join you, if you don’t mind.”

“Good, because she is expecting you,” Carlos replied, referring to Kate. “And I might just introduce you to some single Brits,” Carlos teased. Although they were only going to have an intimate family dinner, he told a white lie on purpose. The Devil then shifted his regard to Savannah, asking, “If it’s okay with you, Savannah.”

Alexander cast him a nasty glare while Savannah’s face reddened. She opposed, “Why would you ask

me?” She turned to her admirer, who had been waiting a few meters away, and said, “I have a date.”

“Then, if it’s okay with you, Savannah, Linda would like to date Alex,” Hannah suggested. Her words stunned everyone in their circle.

Linda and Hannah wound up in an argument. Hannah said, “What? If Carlos is going to play cupid for Alex, it might as well be you. Didn’t you used to like Alex?” Turning to Alexander, Hannah sought, “Right, Alex?”

Alexander was evaluating his potential response, his eyes studying Savannah, but when she dismissed Hannah’s words, saying, “Of course, better someone you know, right Alex?” She then left without a word, walking towards her new admirer.

Everyone noticed how Alexander’s gaze burned through Savannah’s back. He asked, ‘What’s the deal with the Savannah suitor?”

“Oh, he is a businessman here in London. His name is Landon Cooper. During last year’s Wimbledon, he just sent her flowers, but this time, he came himself,” Hannah revealed. “He is a fan.”

“Does she like him?” Alexander asked, his eyes never leaving Savannah.

“I don’t know,” Linda answered. “I think she wants to… test the waters.”

Another day passed.

Carlos and Alexander were practicing for the Wimbledon Semi-finals. Carlos was up against another high ranking player, while Alexander was paired with Erik Berg. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The two had gone through three sets, with Carlos leading the point, when Lemuel called, “Phone call. This is important.”

Chasing his breath, Carlos pointed to Alexander. He ordered, “I think we are good today. Try winning against Berg!”

“If I don’t win, I’ll make it worth his time.” Alexander smirked, saying, “Hopefully, he would have enough body cramps to make you win.”

“Haha! I will win against Berg, cramps or not,” Carlos declared.
