My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1142

Chapter 1142

"Nah, I'll teach you the trick," Nicole said.

Harvey watched as they played, but he was only standing there as an observer.

All of a sudden, Nicole looked at him. "Do you want to give it a go?"

"Me?" Harvey looked at Nicole, surprised as he had never tried his hands on a claw machine before.

"Sure, but I've never done this before," he said.

"It's easy. I'll teach both of you," Nicole said, after which she demonstrated the steps to the both of them again.

"You got it now?" Nicole looked at them.

"Yeah, I'll give it a try," Harvey said, excited to give it a go.

He looked at the plushies in the machine and had no idea as to which one to get.

Then, he turned to Nicole and asked, "Which one do you think looks good?"

Nicole took a good look at the contents of the machine and said, " That round and white polar bear. That one is really cute."

"Alright, I'll get that one," he said.

Harvey, upon confirming that Nicole liked the polar bear, proceeded to make that particular plushie his target.

Then, he repeated the steps that Nicole had shown him moments ago. "I got it!"

At the very next second, the claw shook, and the polar bear dropped.

Harvey sighed and asked, "Why did that happen? Nicole, I did whatever you told me to do. Why wasn't I able to get it?"

"You probably didn't time it right. It's okay. Try again." Nicole explained before encouraging him.

"Okay." Harvey worked the joystick once more, but the outcome was still the same; he could not get the polar bear.

"I'm done." Harvey said, defeated. "It's just not working for me."

He felt embarrassed playing with that claw machine as a grown man, and to top that off, he wasn't able to get any of the toys, even after multiple tries.

"You've only given it two shots and you're giving up already?" Nicole looked at him and asked.

"This game isn't for me. The both of you should go ahead instead." Harvey gestured to them and stood aside.

"Give it a shot, Kelly." Nicole turned to her.

"If Harvey couldn't do it, I wouldn't even stand a chance," Kelly mumbled, not confident in her abilities at all.

"It's fine. It's just a game. It matters not whether we get it or not. We're just doing it for the fun," Nicole said, attempting to encourage Kelly.

"Alright, I'll give it a go." Kelly strutted up to the machine.
