Chapter 122 Uninvited Guest

+8 Pearls

Wendy rubbed her eyes and tried to get up, but Chase gently pushed her back down. “Sleep a little longer. I’ll take care of the things we’re bringing. I still need to grab the supplements we bought for Mom from the storage room. I’ll call you when I’m done.”

She didn’t even catch what Chase said. As soon as he pushed her back into bed, she drifted off again.

Chase got up and threw on a coat. They arrived at the residence by eight. The butler opened the door.

“Ms. Queen, Mr. Goodman, you’re back so early. Madam Mandy just started breakfast,” the butler said, calling for the maids to take the bags from them.

Mandy sat in the dining room, and the cat was still on the table.

Wendy frowned at the sight of the cat but didn’t want to say anything harsh on Christmas Day.

“Slept in today, huh? It’s already eight,” Chase said warmly, acting even more at home than Wendy.

Mandy waved her hand, signaling the maid to prepare breakfast for them as well. “I was up late playing cards with some friends. That’s how Christmas is meant to be–cards and games. Lost a diamond necklace last night.”

Wendy said nothing.

Mandy wasn’t great at card games. She had worked too hard when she was younger and never had time to play. Now that she was older and retired, she was just learning, while her friends had been playing for years. Because of that, she lost quite a bit.

Wendy said, “If you can’t win, maybe stop playing.”

Mandy replied, “I get so bored staying home alone. They only started inviting me out last month. It’s just for fun. The necklace wasn’t anything valuable.”

As the couple walked toward the kitchen, Chase asked softly what necklace she had lost.

Wendy snapped, “The one my mom calls ‘not valuable‘ is from Quinn Group’s latest collection. It sold for 30 million last quarter and requires exclusive access to even buy it.”

Chase said nothing. Yeah, he really didn’t get women sometimes.

Mandy was just getting hooked on the game, so after breakfast, she pulled the couple in to play with her to help improve her skills.

To her surprise, Chase turned out to be an expert. Wendy and Mandy lost terribly, while Chase kept racking up wins.

“Not bad. When did you learn to play?” Wendy asked as she handed him more cards.

It was hard to imagine Chase, who usually wore a white lab coat, playing card games. Quite the contrast.

Chase said, “My mom taught me. She likes to play, but sometimes she doesn’t have enough people, so she’d ask me. Over time, I got the hang of it. Mom, just now, you should’ve played…”
