Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 211

This place only had one table and no sign, talk about bare-bones.

Maybe it was his attitude and setup that made it different from other bustling places. It was stone-cold dead around him, no customers in sight.

Even when the three of them approached, he remained sound asleep, totally oblivious to their presence.

Ines gave Ethan a smile. This was the first time she had ever seen someone so indifferent.

Ashley waited for a bit, lost her patience, and tapped the table impatiently, saying, "Hey man, if you wanna nap, you can go home. What are you doing dozing off here?"

At her words, the old man lifted his eyelids and glared at Ashley, his eyes piercing with sharp insight, "I think sleeping here is more comfortable than at home, is that a problem? Why are you poking your nose in my business?"

After saying that, he closed his eyes again and lay back in his chair, starting to snore lightly as if to provoke Ashley on purpose.

Ashley was left speechless for a moment, finally managed to say, "We want a fortune reading."

"Pick a tarot card for yourself, let me know when you're done," the old man said impatiently.

Ashley was seething. But she was more curious about what this old man was capable of. She slammed the tarot cards in front of Ines, "You pick one first."

Ines didn't believe in this stuff, just thought of it as entertainment. She picked a card, and just as Ashley was about to give one to Ethan, the old man, who was supposedly asleep, spoke up again, "If it's about marriage, only one person in the couple needs to draw."

Ethan's movements came to an abrupt halt.Ashley glared at the elderly man feigning slumber.

The card drawn wasn't so good.

It depicted relationships becoming distant after being close, suggesting the unpredictability of life.

Ines's face turned a bit pale.

Ethan tightly held Ines's hand, comforting her, "Don't take it to heart, it's no big deal."

Ines nodded slightly, trying to comfort herself, but she was still somewhat affected.

Seeing their gloomy faces, Ashley pounded the table several times, "What's this gibberish you're saying."

"Young girl, you're so impatient, be careful or you might end up single."

The old man put his feet down from the table, sat up, and said to Ashley, "Hand it over."

Ashley stared at him, "You need to think before you speak, don't just blurt out whatever comes to your mind."

The old man still chuckled, looking up at Ashley, "Is this the one you picked?"

"Weren't you awake just now? Didn't you hear our conversation? It's not my card, it's my sister-in-law's," Ashley pointed at Ines.
