Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

Chapter 187

Felix’s collar buttons were loosened a few times, and he looked a little casual. He flicked the cigarette ash with his slender fingers, and put the money on the table into his pocket with a smile.

“I just got lucky,” he said.

His vague response left people unsure if he was talking about the gambling game or answering the man’s question.

He seemed to have put away his innocence and purity in front of Carol, now appearing more commanding.

“Luck’s got nothing to do with it, you’re a good–looking fella. If you’d chased after some rich chick earlier, you wouldn’t be here gambling for medicine money,” came a voice.”

The rest of the table broke into laughter. A cigarette butt was tossed into an ashtray filled with water, causing some yellow liquid to spill out.

Felix didn’t react to the insult. After the game, he just left some bills on the table.

“This should cover today’s expenses. I gotta go now, the hospital’s breathing down my neck for payment.”

“Felix, you’ve got yourself a rich girl, you’re still strapped for cash? Don’t rush off to the hospital, we’re in a bit of a pinch ourselves. The money you just won is peanuts compared to what you owe.”
