He Bet on the Wrong Girl Chapter 10 He Remembered Me All Along
Sleep alluded me that night. My mind kept returning to my conversation with Oliver outside the hotel no matter how many times I tossed and turned. I genuinely couldn't remember helping him in third grade. To me, it had been such a small act of kindness that it had disappeared completely from my memory.Yet, Oliver had kept it close to his heart for 10 years. My phone suddenly lit up beside my pillow. A message from him appeared on the screen. "Did you get home safely?" I replied almost immediately, "Yeah." Another message followed. "Don't forget to put something on your wrist." I stared at Oliver's message for a few seconds. There was still one question plaguing my mind. "So… you recognized me a long time ago?" The typing indicator appeared briefly. "Yeah." I hesitated before sending another message, "Even after you saw my high school picture?" His answer came, prompt and as swift as the wind. "Yeah." Then, another message appeared. "You haven't c

Fred's face darkened the moment Oliver stepped between us. "Oliver, are you seriously taking this stupid game that far?" His voice grew sharper. "Lauren and I were together for 11 months. This has nothing to do with you." Oliver looked at him calmly. "11 months?" He paused for a moment before asking sharply, "You were with her for 11 months, and you still treated her like an object you could gamble away?" Fred fell silent. Nobody else in the room spoke either, but the looks on their faces were enough to condemn him. Fred clenched his jaw before turning back to me. "Lauren, I admit I took things too far tonight." He sounded as though he were making a huge concession. "I never actually wanted to break up with you. It was just a game between friends. Did you really have to throw such a massive stink over it?" I rubbed the red mark around my wrist. Suddenly, I felt exhausted. I no longer felt any anger or heartbreak, just fatigue because he still didn't get it. Fred d
He Bet on the Wrong Girl Chapter 8 We're Done
"Start the timer." The entire room erupted as soon as Oliver gave out the order. "Ten!" "Nine!" "Eight!" The cheering grew so loud that it almost seemed to rattle the ceiling. I hadn't expected Oliver to lift me without warning, so my arms had instinctively wrapped themselves around his neck. I could feel the muscles across his shoulders and back tighten beneath my hands through the thin fabric of his shirt. Yet, his hold remained perfectly steady. Ten seconds? He could probably hold me much longer than that without even breaking a sweat. The buzz-cut guy moved closer with his phone already raised. "Oliver, look over here. We need a picture of this." Oliver glanced at him coldly. "Put the phone down." The guy immediately lowered it, but a knowing grin on his face remained. "Got it. I guess we can't just take pictures of your girl whenever we want." The room broke into laughter again. Fred was the only person who didn't find it funny. His expression had turne

"A bet's a bet." The room fell quiet the moment I repeated the words I'd sent in the group chat. Every pair of eyes shifted toward Oliver. Earlier, they had treated the entire thing like the funniest idea ever when they were busy coming up with the three couple's challenges. In their version of tonight, Oliver would have to feed cake to a 200-pound girl, hold her hand for a photo, and carry her in front of everyone. They had expected the entire thing to be humiliating for me and hilarious for them. Now, nobody seemed to find it funny anymore. One of the guys finally broke the silence. "Oliver didn't lose anything. The guy basically hit the jackpot." Someone else immediately agreed with that statement. "If I'd known Lauren looked like this, I would've rolled the dice for him myself." A third guy laughed. "Keep dreaming. Do you really think she'd go for you?" Fred's expression darkened with every comment. Oliver ignored all of them and looked at me. "You're sure you
He Bet on the Wrong Girl Chapter 6 The Joke Wasn't Funny Anymore
The entire room seemed to freeze as soon as I introduced myself. For a few seconds, nobody reacted. Then, several voices broke the silence all at once. "What?" "You're Lauren Hogan? You mean the Lauren from the group chat?" "No way!" The buzz-cut guy near the door looked as though someone had knocked every word out of his head. His eyes widened, and his jaw went slack as he stared at me, failing to come up with a coherent response. Then, he suddenly grabbed his phone. A few taps later, my old high school picture appeared on his screen. He studied the photo before turning to scrutinize me. His eyes dropped back to the screen before returning to my face again. In that old picture, my features were hidden due to my obesity. My neck had almost disappeared beneath the extra weight, and my school uniform was stretched tightly across my body. The woman standing in front of him now had visible collarbones, a slim waist, and a face that no longer looked buried beneath laye
He Bet on the Wrong Girl Chapter 5 Nice to Meet You
The countdown reached zero just as I pushed the door open. The entire room fell silent. Dozens of people turned toward me at once. One guy had a glass halfway to his mouth and forgot to take a sip. Another still wore the grin he had been laughing with seconds earlier, except now he seemed to have forgotten how to move his face. The buzz-cut guy standing closest to the door stared at me for several seconds before finally reacting. "Hey, gorgeous. Are you looking for someone?" He glanced toward the hallway behind me. "Did you walk into the wrong room?" Another guy immediately leaned forward in interest. "Who cares even if she did? We're all Harbor City University freshmen. You should stay and hang out with us, beautiful." "Yeah. Come sit with us." The buzz-cut guy seemed to remember his manners and quickly reached for an empty chair. "Here. You can sit next to me." I nearly started laughing at their audacity. A few minutes earlier, these same people had been joking about
