Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 161

Owen: Kev, my dear, have you missed Grandpa? Want to come

over and play this weekend?

Kevin raised his hand, held down the voice message button,

and said in his little kid voice: I can’t, Grandpa. My dad and

mom, and my other grandpa and grandma are doing something

that’s bad for their health, so I can’t go.

At that moment, Owen, who was sitting on a wicker chair in the

yard looking at his phone with a happy smile, had his expression

change completely.

He shot straight up, and Mrs. Miller, who was reading next to

him, looked over.

“What’s wrong?”

“What did Kev say to scare you like that?”

Owen frantically played the voice message again, and after

hearing it, Diane’s face changed in shock too.

“What on earth are they doing?”

Chapter 161

Owen was about to call Roderick when another voice message came from his precious grandson.

“Dad and the others went to play poker. Grandpa, why is poker

bad for your health?”

“Will it hurt Mom and Dad?”

After the voice message finished, Owen and Diane fell silent

together.

Diane burst out laughing and settled back into her seat.

“Feeling better now? The things kids say are so funny.”

But Owen’s face fell even further.

His tone was stiff. “That brat Roderick! He’s playing poker with

his in–laws instead of coming home to play chess with me!”

In the game room, the Poker machine hummed as the

automatically shuffled cards were neatly arranged on the table.

Madeleine was at the table, with Roderick behind her.

She fumbled with the Poker cards, her movements clumsy.

“Just so you know, I really don’t know how to play. You guys

have to go easy on me.”

Harold chuckled, “Oh, my dear daughter, even close brothers

settle accounts clearly. At the card table, we play for real.”

Bradley crossed his legs, a smug, punchable grin on his face.

“Since your dad said we’re playing for real, I definitely can’t go

easy on you. That would be disrespectful.”

Roderick leaned in and squeezed Madeleine’s shoulder.

“It’s okay, I’ll teach you.”

The rules of Poker were complicated. Although Madeleine

mostly understood after Roderick explained them once, her

brain still felt stuck when she actually had to play.

She was clumsily arranging her cards; the player before her had

already played a card, but Madeleine hadn’t even sorted hers

yet.

Roderick leaned over, his chest pressing against her back, and

reached his hands around her to help her sort them.

“Like this. Separate the suits, and put the face cards over here.”

His voice was right by her ear, his breath warm.

Chapter 161

Bradley watched from the side, resisting the urge to roll his

eyes.

Seriously… Roderick only called and asked him to be a fourth

for Poker, he didn’t say he was coming here to watch their PDA.

Just as he was about to turn and complain to Harold and

Clarissa, telling them to get their son–in–law under control.

Bradley saw Harold busy arranging his cards with one hand,

while using the other to feed Clarissa a piece of fruit.

“Alright, alright, I’m not eating anymore. It’s distracting me from

my cards.”

“Don’t you like Nectarines? This one is really sweet!”

Bradley felt a pang of pity for himself, suddenly feeling like a

lonely single who had wandered into a couples‘ theme park.

He picked up a fork and stuffed a piece of Nectarine into his

mouth.

Sweet?

Tsk.

It’s sour as hell.

Chapter 161

Madeleine was a quick learner. After Roderick taught her for

two rounds, she could play on her own.

She didn’t win much, but making her parents happy was worth it

in the end.

Bradley was good at Poker, but he didn’t dare to win in a game
