Chapter 339 Such A Big Bet?

When Elijah and Antonio found them, Suny and Austin had finished running two laps.

"Long time no see, guys!" Suny glanced at Elijah and Antonio.

"Long time no see." Antonio nodded.

"Yeah, Suny. You look prettier!"

Elijah felt someone staring at him after he said that.

He turned his head and found Austin was staring at him coldly.

"Don't get me wrong, Austin. I meant nothing else." He smiled awkwardly.

Austin didn't bother to argue with him. He then nodded at Antonio.

Elijah liked to come along for the ride. Seeing someone racing not far away, he spoke first before Suny could utter a word, "Are you good at riding, Suny?"

He thought of what had happened last night and he didn't know how to ask for favors from her. Then it suddenly dawned on him that he could solve his problem with Shirley easily if he could make a bet and win the race today.

Elijah thought himself clever enough to come up with such a brilliant idea.

And, he thought he was pretty good at riding. He firmly believed he could defeat Suny on the racecourse, though he couldn't win on the golf course.

Suny didn't expect that Elijah would invite her for a race first. She had something in mind, actually. The reason why she wanted Elijah to come over today was that she wanted to bring something up to Elijah. But it was a bit difficult for her to speak it out abruptly in case Elijah would accuse her of daylight robbery. So, she wanted to rise to the challenge.

Now that Elijah had invited her, she just accepted it happily, "I am OK at riding. But I've been on the horseback only two times. You must be better at it!"

Elijah heard it and got cheered, "Are you being modest? How about a race?"

In fact, after hanging out with Suny a few times, Antonio and the others knew that Suny was an expert in playing dumb and weak.

Anyone who wasn't a fool could understand that Suny was being modest by saying like that Apparently. Elijah was out of his mind, or he was just too stupid. Antonio was trying to remind him of it. But he just gave up when he heard what Elijah said.

He was taken advantage of by Suny and suffered losses last time. Now he had just dug his own grave. Who else to be blamed except himself?

"How do you like to race?" Suny smiled.

"Here! You can see the race tracks over there, right? We'll go there later. Austin and Antonio will be the judges. We go there and come back to the starting line. OK?"

It was true that people could have horse races on the racecourse. And, they had set some obstacles to increase the difficulties.

Surely, the obstacles were short and anyone who had ever learned to ride could jump over them if he didn't chicken out.

Suny glanced at Austin and she felt she couldn't bear it to hurt Elijah again. But Elijah thought she was asking for advice from Austin, "It's just a horse race! You'll agree, right?" Austin looked at Elijah lightly and said, "I didn't say no."

"Let's go over there, then." Suny tried hard not to laugh out loud.

"Hey, wait! We are having a horse race. It's fun to make a bet, right?"

Suny looked at Elijah and smiled, "You're right. What do you think we should bet on?"

"Let's do it like this. If I lose, I will do one thing for you. And if you lose, you'll do one thing for me."

Suny had guessed what was in Elijah's mind. In fact, she didn't mind going easy on Shirley this time. Anyway, she would seek death for herself soon.

"Ok."

Suny raised her eyebrows and winked cunningly at Austin.

Austin stared at her deeply and he didn't feel like helping Elijah at all.

Antonio had winked and implied him aside. But Elijah told them to go to the other side of the racecourse happily and proudly.

They went to the other side of the race track on the horses. Suny stopped and looked at Elijah, who had caught up, "Two out of three, Elijah?"

Elijah got nervous when he heard what Suny said. He remembered how he got ripped off by Suny last time and became very alert instantly, "No. I am a bit too tired today. Let's have one game only." "You are really weak!" Antonio said coldly beside him.

"Stop talking bullshit, dude! I was tired because I worked overtime and stayed up late last night."

"I see." Suny smiled naughtily.

Elijah looked at the naughty smile on Suny's face and said, "Be pure-minded, Suny."

"Oh, what did I say?"

Suny looked at Elijah innocently and kept smiling.

Austin couldn't stand it anymore. "Aren't you racing or not?"

Elijah heard Austin and feared that he didn't allow Suny to have the horse race with him. So, he rode the horse to the starting line immediately, "Let's get started! One game only!" "OK." Suny also got ready next to him and nodded.

Austin and Antonio stood aside. Austin counted down from three to one. Suny and Elijah rode off at the same time.

Suny didn't know how good Elijah was at riding. At first, she was holding back in case Elijah saw her through. So, she just kept riding half a horse behind him.

Elijah obviously slowed down when he arrived at the first obstacle.

Suny raised her eyebrows and followed closely behind him.

Elijah jumped over the first obstacle and even turned around to glance at Suny. He couldn't help being pleased with himself when he saw Suny was two horses behind him.

At the same time, Antonio and Austin were standing at the starting line and watching Suny and Elijah racing.

"Is Suny really not good at riding?" Antonio pursed his lips slightly.

"No." Austin heard his words and turned aside to glance at him.

Antonio watched Suny, who was falling behind Elijah, and doubted if he had misjudged it this time.

And, the reason why Austin said it was that he loved her and thought she was the best in everything. Was it like that?

But soon enough, Antonio found that he didn't guess it wrong.

When they were riding backward, Suny excelled and rode two horses ahead of Elijah. She didn't slow down when she jumped over the obstacles. She just did it nicely and neatly at full speed. Apparently, Suny was testing Elijah just now.

Antonio knew the result without watching the game. He glanced at Austin, "What was he thinking?"

After all, they were old friends. Antonio finally controlled himself from blurting out the word "stupid". "Maybe he is just too naive." Austin rarely raised his eyebrows.

"It must have been very hard for you these years to stand him, bro." Antonio heaved a sigh.

Elijah was fond of hanging out with Austin. Where there was Austin, there was Elijah.

"I am sorry that I'll have to put you through this from now on." Austin crooned lightly.

Antonio was out of words.

Suny was near them when they were talking.

Soon, Suny crossed the finishing line.

She drew rein and stopped. Elijah returned after about 4 seconds.

He looked toward Suny, "You said you are not good at riding!"

"Yes, that's true. I raced with Austin just now but I lost."

Elijah felt deeply wronged.

It turned out that they understood the meaning of "not good" in totally different ways.

But, Elijah had good merit. He could afford to lose in every game.

Bet is bet. He admitted his defeat. He accepted it since he had lost the game, "Tell me now. What do you want me to do for you?"

Suny smiled, "Nothing much really. I just want the copyright of Twelve Months from you."

Elijah couldn't help to take a long breath, "You make big bets every time, don't you?"

"Big?" Suny raised her eyebrows.

"Well, it was OK." Elijah glanced at Austin.

He had worked so hard to win the copyright but he just lost it easily like that. Elijah was desperately regretted and he felt like slapping himself!
