Amelie had the energy drink after playing a few shots as Gabriel guided her. She was on the chair, watching the men play while feeling happy for Gabriel. He was enjoying himself with this small friend circle.
"Amelie, I hope you enjoyed the sport," Piyonia began while holding a glass of champagne. "It’s a bit sad that you can’t fully enjoy the game because of pregnancy."
"That’s not entirely true. I enjoyed the golf. I just can’t seem to play it for long. My legs definitely feel tired after a while," Amelie replied. "Aren’t you going to play more?"
"Well, now it’s a men game. I know who will be the winner though," Piyonia replied with a shurg, taking a seat on the chair, next to Amelie.
"Who will win? I think they all are good at golf." Amelie’s gaze again shifted to their figures, standing a bit away from them. Thanks to their wide vision, they could still see them.
"Prince Gabriel will win, of course," Piyonia said. "Though Sage is a former golf champion."
"Then, Sage can win too. I think a game is about luck too. Anyone among them can win," Amelie replied. She glanced at Eleanor, who was exceptionally quiet since earlier.
"Eleanor, aren’t you feeling well?" Amelie finally asked. "Is everything okay?"
Piyonia gazed in her direction as well.
"Yeah, I’m fine," Eleanor answered.
"You do seem off since the morning," Piyonia said, taking the last sip of the champagne.
Eleanor shook her head. "Everything is fine," she said, passing a fake smile to them.
The match ended soon, and Sage turned out to be the winner.
"It was a fun game," Tim remarked, his hand hanging over Piyonia’s shoulder, who wiped the sweat from his forehead using the towel.
"Yeah. Also, a tough match between Gabriel and Sage," Henry pointed.
"Gabriel, last time you won. Why did you go easy on me this time?" Sage arched his eyebrow.
"I never got easy on you," Gabriel said, his eyes drifting to Amelie, who was standing with a bottled water in her hand. Walking to her, he took the bottle from her.
"You should stay seated," Gabriel whispered, opening the cap. After he was done drinking the water, he lowered the bottle on the table. Looking at the time on the watch, he said, "It’s lunch time. Guys, let’s hurry inside."
"What happened?" Sage asked.
"It’s lunch time," Gabriel said, holding Amelie’s hand. "We are heading inside first." He guided her inside, followed by the others. However, Sage and Eleanor stood behind since he was on the phone, attending an important call.
Once the call ended, he slid it into the pocket of his pants.
"Since we are alone, then I must tell you for which I invited you today," Sage stated.
"Don’t. I know," Eleanor said.
Sage knitted his brows together while glaring at her. "How do you know what I’m going to say?" he asked. "It’s the time we should part ways, Eleanor, with no strings attached. Let’s break up."
Eleanor felt there was no pain or remorse in his voice. He was simply speaking about breakup as if it was another useless task for him. But then, this was Sage Nightshade. From the beginning, he was clear that they wouldn’t be serious about it.
"Did you get bored of me?" Eleanor had started developing feelings for him in just two months of dating. She felt she would be able to sway his heart soon, but it never happened.
"Why are you saying like that?" Sage’s brow cocked up.
"I’m just asking a simple question," Eleanor replied.
"You can say that," Sage answered. "You and I were together to fulfill our own needs. Let’s not delay to join the prince and princess for lunch," he muttered, glancing at his watch.
"You can enjoy the lunch with them. Since we have broken up, there’s no meaning to stay behind," Eleanor said. She turned around to run away when Sage’s voice stopped her.
"If you think I’ll come to pamper you, then you’re wrong. It’s your fault to develop feelings toward me. I was always clear about mine. I only do casual hookups. That’s who I am, Eleanor. I wish you a great life ahead though. The driver will drop you off. That’s the last thing I should do," Sage stated and walked past her.
"Sage, I hope you suffer one day," Eleanor murmured.
Sage heard her faint murmur, but didn’t say anything and went ahead.
