Chapter 96
“Honey, you’re really good at shuffling cards, do you play poker a lot? Mia admired Andre’s card shuffling skills.
Hansen snorted proudly. “Who would dare to let him shuffle the cards when he’s out playing?”
Mia watched her husband’s hands closely Wanting to show off more for his wife, Andre shuffled the already shuffled deck again “Honey, can you teach me? It’s so cool when you shuffle the cards”
“Cool? How?” Andre asked.
It’s just really cool, Mia looked at her husband’s face, Will you teach me?”
Andre gestured for his wife to come over, “Come, I’ll teach you.”
Wait! Are you here to keep me company or to flirt?” Hansen complained. He wasn’t worried about the newlyweds affection for each other, but he had more important things to do “Aren’t you here to play cards with me? If you want to learn to shuffle, do it at home, stop bothering mo!”
Mia felt quilty and stuck out her tongue, quickly apologizing, “Dad, sorry, we were wrong”
“Hmph Hansen was annoyed and wanted to check his blood pressure again.
Andre placed the cards on the bed, “Dad, you go first”
Hansen glanced at the cards and decided to stop being angry and play
Half an hour later, Mia had three stickers on her face, Hansen had two, and Andre was as cool as ever. He held the cards calmly, looking as if he had. everything under control. He never lost around with that attitude
Hansen grumbled in frustration, “I didn’t see that I had a Joker left in my hand”
Mia said, “I should have used the Joker first, to block Andre’s move.”
The two losers were discussing the previous round, full of regrets. Andre, however, didn’t dwell on the past. He was planning his strategy for the next round, aiming to take control once again.
Mia played poorly, and Hansen, who used to be unbeatable, had his good hand ruined by his son. Mia lost even though she had the Joker cards.
Another round, another loss
“Honey Mia’s eyes were burning with anger
Seeing his wife angry, Andre smiled faintly. He took a sticker, moistened in with water, and stuck it on his wife’s face..
“Do you realize what you did wrong?” Andre asked
He intentionally won to make his wife regret not being on his side.
‘Did I do something wrong?” Mia blinked
What did she do wrong? After a moment’s thought Mia suddenly remembered what she had said!
Hansen was worried that he wouldn’t win, so he gave up.
Mia saw this and said, “Ill team up with you. I’ve been waiting for you to lead me to victory. I give up too”
She used her cards to play against Andre
So he was upset because she didn’t side with him?
From the look of surprise on her face. Andre gently tapped her head. “You didn’t assess the situation correctly, couldn’t recognize the real power player, and couldn’t even take advantage of an easy win.”
Mia stuck out her tongue. She was sitting and Andre was standing up, so her face was right at his belly
She acted coy, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her face against his belly. “Honey, I was wrong. Next time, you lead, Hansen is not good at playing cards”
“1. Mia! You’re using me.” Hansen was also about to get a sticker stuck on him. His son showed no mercy towards him.
Mia apologized and Andre reluctantly agreed, but the smile on his face betrayed his pleasure “Next time, I’ll lead
“Yay, honey, you’re the best. Go put a sticker on Hansen’s face, make him a white bearded old man.”
Mia let go of Andre and urged him to put the sticker on Hansen’s face.
Just then, a nurse came in. The nurse was a bit taken aback by the scene in the room, ‘Mr. Cedillo, I’m here to check Hansen’s blood pressure.”
Upon hearing the reason, Mia got up and moved aside, helping Hansen to lie down, “You can check now”
The nurse come forward and saw the stickers on Hansen’s face and the four stickers on the girl’s face, making it look like a white beard. She was wearing a mask and couldn’t help but laugh. This family was really entertaining
In a short while, the blood pressure was measured. The nurse looked at the numbers and said, “Why is it higher than it was this afternoon?”
Hansen pointed angrily at his son and daughter-in-law, “I’m being annoyed by these two.”
The nurse looked at Andre and Mia standing side by side, “Mr. and Mrs. Cedillo, during the patient’s recovery period, it’s best to keep the patient’s mood stable. It helps with stabilizing the condition.”
Andre nodded
After the nurse left, Mia looked at her grumpy father-in-law and then at her husband, “Honey, I think it’s better for me to team up with dad. That way, I have
a chance of winning”
Mr Cedillo understood what his cute wife meant. Was she anticipating that he would purposely lose to make his father feel better?
That’s exactly what Mia was thinking. Although her husband was introverted, his care for his father was shown through actions, not sweet words. It was clear from what the nurse said earlier, Andre would definitely put on a performance, intentionally losing the game to make his father win and feel better.
Sure enough, the situation seemed to reverse in the next three rounds, with Hansen winning a lot.
Mia had a chip in her mouth, looking at her cards and then at Hansen’s, Four Jokers, anyone want to challenge?”
Hansen played a straight of seven cards, ‘Any takers?”
Andre also played a straight
Mia was eating chips, she picked up another one and continued to chew.
Seeing Hansens dwindling pile of cards, she simply gave up the easy win. Hansen had only two cards left, surely they were a pair of twos.
Andre shook his head, he also folded and prepared to lose.
Hansen clapped joyfully. He felt exhilarated winning round after round.
Andre threw the cards onto the bedsheet, waiting for his father and wife to put stickers on his face. Hansen showed no mercy to his own son. “I’ll stick one under your nose, so it’ll flutter when you breathe”
Mia looked at her husband’s handsome face, admiring every feature. Where should she put the sticker?
Suddenly, Mia’s gaze met her husband’s gentle eyes.
Mia’s heart raced. Her hubby’s eyes were like magnets, about to suck her into his gentle whirlpoo
