Chapter 188
Winnie took out a pair of dice cups and a notebook. “Let’s play a game of dice. Each number we roll corresponds to a punishment written in the notebook. Fun, right?”
Mrs. Macy nodded and said, “This sounds entertaining.”
Estelle had no objections, of course.
The servant quickly prepared the labels “police,” “thief, and a blank one as Winnie instructed. The three of them then drew their lots.
Estelle was the last to draw and got the blank one, which meant she wouldn’t be punished. So, she calmly waited for the guessing games to begin.
Mrs. Macy got the “police” one, and she tried to guess who the thief” was based on Estelle and Winnie’s expressions.
Estelle was calm, and Winnie pretended well, even winking at Estelle as if she was just an onlooker.
However, it was this wink that gave away the fact that Winnie was the “thief“.
Winnie revealed her label and said incredulously, “How did you guess me, Mrs. Macy? What gave me away?”
Mrs. Macy laughed happily and said, “Only someone with a guilty conscience would make small gestures. I just caught yours.”
“Oh, you’re good! I’ll accept the punishment.”
Winnie grabbed the dice cup and shook the dice vigorously.
She rolled a 1, 3, and 6, totaling 10. The punishment corresponding to the number 10 in the book was, “Hug each gentleman in the room for one minute.”
If she didn’t accept the punishment, she had to drink three cups of wine or sing a song.
Winnie’s eyes widened in exaggeration. She thought Baldrick and Schilder would be fine, but she couldn’t bring herself to make such a request to Jonathan, whose aura screamed stay away. She feared he’d throw her out the moment she made this request.
So she chose to sing a short song. It sounded lovely, and Mrs. Macy gently applauded her performance.
The game continued, and this time, Mrs. Macy got the “thief” label, and Estelle, as the “police, caught her. Mrs. Macy rolled the dice, and her punishment was to confess her love to someone she loves in public. This was easy for her. Mrs. Macy confidently walked over to Schilder and said with a smile, “I love you”
