His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 123: Ambiguity

The ball didn’t fall into the gutter this time but slid forward along the arrows.

It finally hit the pins, but because Kiana Sutton didn’t have enough strength, she only knocked down one pin.

Kiana Sutton blushed with embarrassment; although she was a bookworm who could instantly grasp knowledge from books, she was a total klutz when it came to sports.

Despite Ethan Sinclair’s careful teaching, she only managed to knock down one pin.

"When you throw the ball, use a bit more force."

Seeing Ethan Sinclair’s face devoid of any disdain or mockery, Kiana Sutton breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Practice a few more times as I taught you just now."

Voices of discussion began to rise around them.

"Who is that woman? How come the aloof Fifth Master Sinclair is personally teaching her?"

"Isn’t Stella Lyncg the prospective sister-in-law of Fifth Master Sinclair? Why would he help an outsider to beat her?"

"Is it just me, or does it seem like Fifth Master Sinclair is quite close with that woman?"

Stella’s lungs were about to explode with anger upon hearing the crowd’s chatter.

She hadn’t expected Ethan Sinclair to be here nor for him to personally teach Kiana Sutton to play bowling.

What was this about?

Seeing Kiana Sutton pick up the bowling ball to practice, Stella coldly spoke, "Kiana Sutton, I don’t have time to wait for you to practice. Are you going to compete or not? If yes, start now; if not, I’ll take it as you forfeiting."

With that, she chuckled, "You remember our bet, don’t you!"

No matter if Ethan Sinclair was around, the bet was something Kiana Sutton had agreed to herself, not something Stella had forced her into.

Besides, there were so many people here; Ethan Sinclair absolutely wouldn’t become a laughingstock for the sake of Kiana Sutton.

"Is Stella Lyncg afraid that if Kiana Sutton practices a few more times, she’ll lose to her? That’s why she’s so eager to start the match."

"If she loses to a rookie, wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing!"

"Challenging a rookie, even winning doesn’t mean much."

"Shut up, all of you!" Stella shouted angrily and then looked at Kiana Sutton, "Are you going to compete?"

Ethan Sinclair gave Stella a chilly glance; although Stella was somewhat afraid of him, she knew Ethan Sinclair wouldn’t do anything to her.

After all, Ethan Sinclair owed her brother his life and liked her sister, didn’t he?

Kiana Sutton looked at Stella, who was already anxious and emotionally unstable at this point.

There’s no way she’d consider giving up.

Taking a glance at Ethan Sinclair who hadn’t spoken, Kiana Sutton nodded.

"Just one round to decide the winner."

The rules of bowling are actually quite simple; knocking down the ten pins on the opposite side with the ball counts as a win.

In a round, two balls can be played; if the first ball fails to hit all the pins, there remains another opportunity with the second ball.

Stella intended to humiliate Kiana Sutton in front of Ethan Sinclair, so she smiled at Ethan, "Brother Ethan, since you’re here, how about being the judge for our PK match?"

Gavin Hale immediately chimed in, "I’ll join the Fifth Master in judging for you!"

The attendant brought over two chairs; Gavin Hale smiled at Ethan Sinclair, "Fifth Master, let’s sit down and enjoy the match between these two beauties."

Ethan Sinclair gave a faint glance at Kiana Sutton then sat on the couch with Gavin Hale.

Gavin Hale poured Ethan Sinclair a glass of wine and added two ice cubes.

When they clinked glasses together, Gavin Hale smiled and asked, "Fifth Master, let’s make a prediction. Who do you think will win?"

Ethan Sinclair remained silent, surprising Gavin Hale, "You surely don’t actually believe that little beauty could beat Stella Lyncg? She clearly looks like a beginner."

Ethan Sinclair’s lips curled slightly, "Who knows?"

Stella Lyncg picked up the bowling ball and looked provocatively at Kiana Sutton, "Who goes first?"

Kiana Sutton pointed at Stella.

"Heh... letting me go first? Aren’t you afraid I might strike a perfect game again and it pressures you?"

Kiana Sutton smiled slightly, took out her phone, and typed a few words, "You can’t rely on that good luck again!"

Seeing this, Stella nearly burst with fury. That damn Kiana Sutton dared to say her perfect game was just luck!

Heh...

Refusing to admit defeat, watch her use one ball to "deflate" Kiana Sutton!

Stella walked to the lane with the ball, flawlessly sending it down.

The crowd held their breaths in anticipation, but this time, Stella didn’t strike a perfect game, leaving the 7 and 10 pins in the back row.

Kiana Sutton nodded knowingly; it unfolded as she thought.

Kiana Sutton decided to bowl after Stella—not because she feared losing but to verify her hunch.

While she might not be proficient at bowling, her grasp of physics and mathematics was strong.

In bowling, the hardest pins to hit are the endpoints in the last row, pins 7 and 10.

Since the ball on the lane moves along a vertical line, nearly perpendicular to the line segment formed by pins 7 and 10, it’s difficult for a rolling ball to hit these two isolated pins simultaneously.

Unless the pins in front get hit and in falling, they strike pins 7 and 10, achieving a strike.

Stella may have skill and strength and managed a perfect game during practice...

But overconfidence can lead to mistakes.

Someone proud and arrogant, when questioned by someone they loathe, tends to let their emotions be affected.

In both exams and sports, one’s mindset is the most crucial factor.

Stella’s mindset was influenced, thus she failed a perfect game.

Initially confident and proud, Stella’s face darkened seeing the remaining 7 and 10 pins.

Damn it, how come those two are left!

"Hit! Hit! Hit!"

The crowd chanted continuously; Stella glared at them furiously, picked up a ball, and threw it.

Stella showcased her skills as the bowling princess of The Pavilion, knocking down the 10 pin, followed by a rebound to hit the 7.

"Yes!"

Stella shouted enthusiastically, as cheers erupted.

Knocking down pins 7 and 10 in one shot was incredibly unlikely.

Stella smugly approached Kiana Sutton, "Though victory is mine, I’ll allow you some game experience."

Kiana Sutton ignored Stella and walked to the lane with her ball.

She didn’t hastily send the ball out but closed her eyes, simulating the action in her mind.

Kiana knew she couldn’t match Stella’s skill; if she didn’t succeed the first time or left pins 7 and 10 like Stella, she’d miss them.

Therefore, she had to knock down all ten pins at once.

Seeing Kiana Sutton with closed eyes, the surrounding discussions reignited; Stella scoffed lightly, "Putting on airs."

Gavin Hale: "Fifth Master, what is that little beauty doing?"

Ethan Sinclair’s dark eyes fixed intently on Kiana Sutton, his lips slightly curled, "Calculating."
