"Are you sure you were cheering me on, not adding insult to injury?" Edward rolled his eyes. He always saw through this woman.
"Oops, you noticed that? I'm sorry, I'll be more subtle next time." Daisy pulled him up to his feet. A sly smile flashed in her eyes, though she dared not be too obvious about it. Her husband might get agitated and seize the opportunity to have a tantrum. In her eyes, men were even more unreasonable than women.
"Next time? How dare you! Alright, I'll forgive you this time in the spirit of generosity. But I feel so unwanted and unloved, and I have to lick my wounds alone." Oops. Men were indeed more unreasonable than women, and Edward Mu was especially so. He started whining already. Daisy didn't even know what was worth all this drama, but she knew better than make things worse. No one said anything yet, but Edward had already started playing the victim.
In response, Daisy tightened her grasp around his wrist. The expression on her face was still calm and cold, revealing no sign of her actual feelings. But Edward had been with her for a long time, he knew that she was giving him a warning.
"What now, old man? Just admit it already, you're but an old and grumpy grandpa." Compared to Daisy, Cynthia was much gentler in character. Although she was complaining to her husband, her tone remained elegant and soft. She had the gift of expressing any emotion in a flirtatious manner.
"I didn't lose anything! I was being kind by letting the brat win. Do you really think there's any competition I couldn't win? Didn't you see how he was crawling and panting like a dog? He was exhausted from physical exertion, but I wasn't!" Jonathan took the cup from Cynthia's hands, and drank the water in a single gulp. He had always been unwilling to acknowledge defeat, even if the outcome of the competition was clear as day. He couldn't bow to other men in the face of the woman he cared the most, even if the man was his own son. Every man liked to show off and keep a perfect image in the eyes of their beloved.
