"Alright, you drive later, we’ll go pick up Lily first."

Huang Kaiwen said, tossing the keys to Ramos.

As long as there’s a driver, Huang Kaiwen rarely drives.

A little after 6 PM, at the Chinese restaurant Hutong on the 33rd floor of The Shard, Huang Kaiwen met Toni Poole.

It’s a somewhat masculine name, but its owner is actually a woman.

After warmly embracing Huang Kaiwen and Ramos, Poole greeted Lily: "Miss Collins, what a surprise to see you here, I’m a fan of Mr. Collins!"

"I’ll give you some memorabilia when I have time."

Lily added: "I’ll visit his home and see what I can find."

After the pleasantries, Huang Kaiwen took the lead in ordering.

Huang Kaiwen discovered this famous Chinese restaurant in a travel guide.

The menu features dishes from both the north and south, but just by looking at the photos, you can tell they’ve been modified to suit Western tastes.

After ordering a few dishes, Huang Kaiwen said, "Sorry for calling you over on short notice."

"It’s fine, I’ve been wanting to meet you."

Toni Poole said with a bright smile, "I often hear about you, he talks about you when he’s home, and you’re all over TV and newspapers; I thought Chelsea really got a big star."

"That’s an overstatement, I’m just a player; stars are in the entertainment industry."

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

He had a good impression of Toni Poole.

Compared to other members of the wives’ circle, Poole was low-key, not like a star player’s wife.

There’s almost no news about her in the papers.

A lovely dinner brought both sides closer, so Lily wouldn’t feel uncomfortable around Poole.

As they were leaving, Huang Kaiwen handed two tickets to Poole.

Poole put the tickets in her bag and then left.

...

December 6, away game against Bolton.

Huang Kaiwen wasn’t even on the roster.

Because Chelsea was playing Bolton, without waiting for Boas to decide, the fans had already hung a banner at Cobham Training Centre advocating to keep the Yellow Ball King off the roster for this match.

If Robben knew, he would be quite saddened.

He never got treated this way at Chelsea.

Chelsea won 2-0 against Bolton away, but the match was incredibly tough.

The opponents picked up 7 yellow cards and 1 red card, and Cech even asked to be subbed out at halftime.

When the bus returned to London, the first team appeared quite exhausted.

Terry headed home after getting off the bus, all he wanted was a good shower and some sleep.

Upon opening the door, Terry saw his wife, Toni Poole, dressed up in an evening gown with makeup, and curiously asked, "Where are you planning to go?"

"No time to explain, hurry and change clothes."

Poole said, "There’s an event tonight, we need to attend together."

"Please, I’m so tired!"

Terry said, lowering his head as if his neck couldn’t support his head anymore.

"Today’s event is important, I’ve already sent the kids to my parents."

Poole dragged Terry into the house, pushed him into the bathroom, saying, "You have five minutes, I’ve already prepared clothes for you."

Terry couldn’t resist his wife, and he let the shower wash over his body.

His fatigue was temporarily relieved, and when Poole knocked on the door prompting him, Terry dried his hair and stepped out of the bathroom.

"Quick, get dressed!"

Poole helped Terry dry up and pushed him towards the bedroom.

The two hurriedly left, Terry dressed in a black suit with a bow tie, sat in the passenger seat still puzzled about the situation.

Fulham.

The Durell Arms pub.

As midnight approached, the pub was becoming lively.

This pub with over 100 years of history had a "closed for private event" sign today because someone had booked the entire place.

The pub had been decorated with even the layout temporarily changed.

Terry entered the pub and realized it looked different, curiously asking, "Have I been away for too long, it seems changed here."

"Of course, business always needs improvement."

Poole said with a smile.

She took Terry’s arm and walked inside, greeting some people.

Terry wasn’t interested in the community gathering his wife mentioned, but since he was there, he tried to be sociable.

Listening to Poole and other housewives gossiping about the community, Terry’s head kept drooping and then being lifted.

He wasn’t that sleepy.

But the topics were really dull.

Suddenly.

The entire pub turned dark.

Terry immediately became alert, pulling Poole into his arms, asking, "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine, all good."

Poole answered.

Then, images appeared onscreen ahead.

Terry’s eyes widened.

Because the person in the video was him!

Him during his youth team days!

That youthful face seemed like just yesterday, Terry fell into deep memories.

Back then, his salary was only 46 pounds, while as a beautician, Poole’s salary was 250 pounds, and she would often take him out for nice meals.

As the video showed him progressing from youth team to first team, and up to recent times.

Ashley Cole appeared pushing a cake cart.

Dim silhouettes were appearing on stage, Huang Kaiwen’s voice resonated.

Huang Kaiwen said, "Once there was a guy who felt so nervous about singing in front of the first team that he couldn’t sleep, and now, he’s already 28. So let’s wish this guy a happy 28th birthday!"

The lights came on, and Terry realized the first team players were all present.

He understood everything now.

Damn it, these lights were hitting his eyes.
