Chapter 1168: Sincerely Treating

Innocent and pitiful, vivid and lifelike.

The seriousness lasted only half a second before the atmosphere became relaxed again. It must be said that Gao Wen was indeed a social expert.

Then, Gawain put down his hands, stopped playing tricks, smiled, and gave a simple explanation according to Maribel's words.

"We were not able to confirm it until the last minute, and the plan changed slightly."

"Both Pete and Andre lack confidence on clay, so when Uncle Tony invited them, you can imagine they had a party."

Ha ha!

Maribel clapped and laughed, but Nadal was a little shy, and even if it was an indirect compliment, he remained humble.

"Before that, they came up with the idea that maybe Steffi could give me some advice on how to adapt to clay."

"Steffy needs to consider it, and Andre doesn't want his opinion to influence her decision, so we should keep some distance and space and let her make her own judgment."

"At that time, the competition from Indian Wells to Miami was intense, and Steffi didn't mention it in order to avoid distracting me."

"It was not until all the competitions were over that Steffi told us her decision. She was not going to join my team because I could not afford such a large and luxurious coaching fee. She obviously had no intention of providing free assistance."

Ha ha!

He made self-deprecating remarks and ridicule at will, and this time even Nadal burst into laughter, and the laughter in the car floated along the coastline.

"However, she was willing to give me some advice and participate in the training as a consultant during this short week."

"After the training in Mallorca, she will return to Los Angeles; as for the clay season, Andre will be in charge of the training and Pete will be in charge of the cooperation."

"You can imagine how much sacrifice Pete has made, so please bear with me if Pete gets angry during this period of time."

Ha ha!

The previous one was self-deprecating, and this time it was complaining. I have to say that Gao Wen always knows how to grasp the atmosphere of the conversation.

“So, when we headed to the airport, the team had one more member.”

Although Nadal and Maribel did not ask in detail, Gawain still generously shared these behind-the-scenes stories:

Exchange sincerity for sincerity.

Because Gawain knew that Nadal would not gossip behind his back, and Gawain also knew that all this information was secret and would never leak out.

Nadal raised his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror, and saw Gawain looking over at him. The two friends exchanged glances in tacit understanding.

Then, Nadal raised his eyebrows in the direction of Maribel, "Pay attention, we need to conduct closed-door training, be careful of the training information leaking out."

Similarly, Nadal also made a little joke -

It is rare to see Nadal like this in normal times.

Maribel placed her index finger on her lips and moved a little closer to Gawain, "Shh, don't worry, I'll secretly give you the training video."

Gao Wen nodded seriously, then made an "OK" gesture, and then made a motion to zip up his mouth.

All in one go.

Seeing Nadal's helpless expression in the driver's seat, Gawain and Maribel in the back seat couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

After finally controlling her laughter, Maribel remembered something else.

Nadal's card.

Maribel was very much looking forward to Gawain's reaction, but unfortunately, after realizing that Graf had arrived, she immediately turned around to arrange follow-up vehicles and became busy. She did not see the moment when Nadal showed the card, and thus missed the excitement of the scene.

Looking at Maribel's puzzled expression, Gawain understood.

"Honestly, I really felt like I was in a movie, but I never knew that Rafa was interested in acting."

Gawain's words made the person involved in the incident feel so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole and disappear from the scene; however, Maribel laughed extremely happily, rolling back and forth, not giving her brother any face at all.

The person involved expressed deep regret.

Then, Maribel took the initiative to tell the reason why, without Gawain even asking.

"…When we were in Melbourne, outside the stadium, Mary and I saw your parents being surrounded by fans and couldn't leave at all."

"In the end, you showed up, took the initiative to put down the bag, signed autographs for the fans, and then covered your parents' departure."

"At that time, you had just finished two hours of intense training and obviously needed a good rest, but you didn't complain, remained patient and completed the signing."

"Then, you sincerely told the fans that you hoped they could leave some private space for your parents. They were obviously not used to it. And you also humorously said that they have always felt guilty about stealing your limelight. The fans and the media pay attention to them but not you, and they are worried about hurting you."

"Ha ha."

Several months later, Maribel still found that scene very funny when she recalled it.

Faced with such a tricky situation, if it was not handled properly, things might have been pushed to another extreme and even caused dissatisfaction among fans, but Gao Wen's easy-to-use humor and just the right amount of patience handled the whole thing perfectly, so that no negative rumors appeared on social networks.

Of course, the most impressive part of the whole incident was——

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"You're just like Rafa."

"You all carefully protect your family and your life outside the court because you know how destructive the media can be."

"So, Mary thought, maybe you can be friends, although I think Rafa is very boring, either fishing or playing golf, and all the other time he is training. If you really become friends, you should be bored, but I think Mary may be right."

Maribel also complained about her brother.

Nadal was a little annoyed. He deliberately kept a straight face and a slightly serious expression, and said a lot of things in Spanish.

Gao Wen's Spanish listening has never been his strong point, so he could hardly keep up with the speed of speech, but he could still vaguely catch some fragments.

It seems that Nadal does not want Maribel to discuss Gawain's family in this way, and he thinks Maribel needs to be careful about her behavior.

Sure enough, Nadal is still Nadal. He always politely abides by the boundaries and would never rashly break the rules just because they are friends.

Although Gawain's hearing was a little poor and he couldn't catch the full text, he could understand Nadal's thoughts.

However, Gawain was not worried at all, and interrupted with a very serious expression, "So, Rafa, aren't we friends? Was it just my illusion all along?"

Nadal: …

Maribel: ...

I am most afraid of the air suddenly becoming quiet.

One second. Two seconds.

"Ha ha!"

Gawain and Isabel exchanged glances, and both burst into laughter. The atmosphere was broken, and Nadal also smiled.

Nadal raised his eyes and looked at the rearview mirror again, hesitating to speak——

He wondered if he needed to explain this to Gawain.

Then, Gao Wen also raised his eyes, and the two exchanged glances through the rearview mirror. He leaned forward slightly and spoke with a serious expression.

"Thank you, Rafa, for inviting me to Mallorca. Now that I have found a resort, I think you may see me more often in the future."

One sentence is enough.

Nadal grinned. "Anytime. Anytime."
