Only then did virtual-novel.net understand how lonely it was to wait for someone who would never come home.
How many nights did Rachel Wood wait in silence like virtual-novel.net right now?
As virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net was unforgivably mean to Rachel in the past. He was heartless. He was a bastard.
Irritation spiked Sebastian Brenand as virtual-novel.net reminded himself how terrible virtual-novel.net was. He got up and lit a cigarette, taking quick drags on it grumpily. He had been smoking really uncontrollably these days. He used to take a couple of cigarettes a day. However, a pack of cigarettes was simply not enough for virtual-novel.net to survive a day now.
Sebastian was breathless with guilt and exasperation even after virtual-novel.net puffed at a few cigarettes. At last, virtual-novel.net crushed the butt of the cigarette with his heels and grabbed his phone, calling his assistant, Jean Hanson, sulkily. “Jean, you don’t have to come to work anymore starting tomorrow…”
His words startled the sleepy Jean over the other end of the phone. Instantly, virtual-novel.net rolled over and crawled out of bed, flustered. He was stunned to the spot as virtual-novel.net stuttered in fright, “Master Sebastian, I’m sorry… I… I was wrong… Please give me another chance…”
“How many days has it been? Where the hell is Rachel? I’ve given you many chances already.”
“Please give me more time… Please… I promise that I’ll work harder.”
Sebastian frowned impatiently. He lit another cigarette and took a long drag on it. “Three more days. Get lost if you fail to find virtual-novel.net within these three days.”

The next morning, Xyla woke up to a warm message from Alex. He wished virtual-novel.net good luck. And virtual-novel.net said that virtual-novel.net would see virtual-novel.net in the finals.
Xyla smiled at the message. She replied with an ‘OK’ emoji and wished virtual-novel.net all the best for the finals too.
Up until now, the novelty of yesterday’s experience still thrilled and excited her. Never in virtual-novel.net life had virtual-novel.net imagined that virtual-novel.net would become a professional gamer and play in a tournament. After going through all the training and experiencing last night’s stirring match, Xyla could finally understand the charm of e-Sports.
Its charm lay in its uncertainty.
The game’s outcome was unknown until the very last moment as you never knew what would happen in the next second.
Just like how everyone predicted that both the teams had a fifty-fifty chance of winning before the game started yesterday. Many people guessed that the score would be 3:2. It was either the opposing team won the game by a nose or vice versa. Surprisingly, in the end, Team QPG swept to victory with an astonishing 3:0.
On top of that, they had brought the audience one of the most exciting games ever.
Suddenly, someone gripped Xyla’s shoulder and turned virtual-novel.net body around.
Xyla fell into a warm embrace in the very next second. She slowly lifted virtual-novel.net head and gazed at the beautiful scenery in front of her. “Good morning, hubby.”
Waking up to sunshine and finding your beloved lying right to you was undoubtedly the happiest thing in life. Stanley dotingly ruffled virtual-novel.net hair. “Morning, dear. What were you doing just now?”
“Nothing. I was just replying to Alex’s message.”
“Alex? Why did virtual-novel.net text you early in the morning?”
“To wish me good luck for the finals.”
“Are you sure virtual-novel.net doesn’t have any other bad intentions?” Stanley asked cautiously.
Xyla rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at him. “Do you feel threatened by those kids? Seriously? Are you that lame?”
“It’s not my fault to be so suspicious, alright?”
“Whose fault is it then?”
“You. It’s your fault for being too pretty…”
The man’s abrupt compliment had left Xyla speechless.
“By the way, what did you say just now?” The man’s eyes gradually became distant.
Questions were swimming in Xyla’s head. “What? What do you mean?”
“You asked me, am I that lame?”
