waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Owen : Kev , my dear , have you missed Grandpa ? Want to come over and play this weekend ? Kevin raised his hand , held down the voice message button , and said in his little kid voice : I can't , Grandpa . My dad and mom , and my other grandpa and grandma are doing something that's bad for their health , so I can't go . At that moment , Owen , who was sitting on a wicker chair in the yard looking at his phone with a happy smile , had his expression change completely . He shot straight up , and Mrs. Miller , who was reading next to him , looked over . " What's wrong ?

" " What did Kev say to scare you like that ? " Owen frantically played the voice message again , and after hearing it , Diane's face changed in shock too . " What on earth are they doing ? " Chapter 161 Owen was about to call Roderick when another voice message came from his precious grandson . " Dad and the others went to play poker . Grandpa , why is poker bad for your health ? " " Will it hurt Mom and Dad ? " After the voice message finished , Owen and Diane fell silent together . Diane burst out laughing and settled back into her seat . " Feeling better now ?

The things kids say are so funny ." But Owen's face fell even further . His tone was stiff . " That brat Roderick ! He's playing poker with his in - laws instead of coming home to play chess with me ! " In the game room , the Poker machine hummed as the automatically shuffled cards were neatly arranged on the table . Madeleine was at the table , with Roderick behind her . She fumbled with the Poker cards , her movements clumsy . " Just so you know , I really don't know how to play .

You guys Chapter 161 have to go easy on me ." Harold chuckled , " Oh , my dear daughter , even close brothers settle accounts clearly . At the card table , we play for real . " Bradley crossed his legs , a smug , punchable grin on his face . " Since your dad said we're playing for real , I definitely can't go easy on you . That would be disrespectful . " Roderick leaned in and squeezed Madeleine's shoulder . " It's okay , I'll teach you ." The rules of Poker were complicated .

Although Madeleine mostly understood after Roderick explained them once , her brain still felt stuck when she actually had to play . She was clumsily arranging her cards ; the player before her had already played a card , but Madeleine hadn't even sorted hers yet . Roderick leaned over , his chest pressing against her back , and reached his hands around her to help her sort them . " Like this . Separate the suits , and put the face cards over here . " His voice was right by her ear , his breath warm . Chapter 161 Bradley watched from the side , resisting the urge to roll his eyes .

Seriously ... Roderick only called and asked him to be a fourth for Poker , he didn't say he was coming here to watch their PDA . Just as he was about to turn and complain to Harold and Clarissa , telling them to get their son - in - law under control . Bradley saw Harold busy arranging his cards with one hand , while using the other to feed Clarissa a piece of fruit . " Alright , alright , I'm not eating anymore . It's distracting me from my cards . " " Don't you like Nectarines ? This one is really sweet !

" Bradley felt a pang of pity for himself, suddenly feeling like a lonely single who had wandered into a couples ' theme park . He picked up a fork and stuffed a piece of Nectarine into his mouth . Sweet ? Tsk . It's sour as hell . Chapter 161 Madeleine was a quick learner . After Roderick taught her for two rounds , she could play on her own . She didn't win much , but making her parents happy was worth it in the end . Bradley was good at Poker , but he didn't dare to win in a game like this . Winning against the elders would be inappropriate , and if he won against Madeleine ...

Roderick wouldn't let him get away with it . So he was constantly pulling out money . When the game ended , Bradley's wallet was a lot thinner . He rubbed his sore shoulder , watching Roderick casually massage Madeleine's fingers , and couldn't help but mutter , " I'm the one who lost money , so why do you two look like the tired ones ? " Roderick gave him a " you're single , so mind your own business " look , which made Bradley's chest tighten . Sitting down at the dining table , Bradley took out his phone and habitually opened his sister Charlotte's moments .

Chapter 161 Still nothing posted . Bradley thought for a moment , then posted on his moments . [ Several surgeries every day , no time to eat at all , so hungry ... ] After about a minute , Charlotte sent him a private message . [ Charlotte : How are you so busy you don't even have time to eat ? ] A corner of Bradley's mouth lifted , his eyes filled with an unconcealable scheming look .
