“If I lose, I’ll treat you,” Alan Hoyle smiled. In fact, winning or losing wasn’t important to him. He came to play with his wife and daughter. This was just an interlude.
“Then next time I will try better to get a meal with President Hoyle,” Jerry Lan said with a chuckle.
As soon as the man left, Annie looked up at Alan Hoyle, “Uncle, both Big Beard and Uncle Lan can’t beat you. What are you capable of more that I don’t know?”
Olive Steele frowned and looked at Alan Hoyle suspiciously, “When did you fight with Dave Chou?”
It was the day when they met for a drink, and there weren’t signs of violence on them.
Annie was surprised at her slip of tongue. She covered her small mouth and shook her head towards Alan Hoyle. She didn’t want her mommy to know that she climbed the roof.
How could Alan Hoyle not understand? It turned out the little brat was afraid too. “It’s nothing. It was when this one time I was picking up Annie at martial arts center. Dave Chou pulled me to learn a few tricks. Annie probably thought we were fighting. My wife, you eat such a big one by yourself and don’t give me a bite.”
He was changing subject and she didn’t think much. But she purposely licked the ice cream with her tongue, then put it in front of him. She chucked and said, “It’s all my saliva. Do you still want to eat it?”
Alan Hoyle grabbed her hand to his mouth and took a bite. He smiled, “It’s not like I haven’t eaten your saliva before.”
Actually, he didn’t like sweets very much, but seeing her daughter and she happily ate, he felt bothered.
After eating his wife’s, he turned his target to his daughter, “Baby, shouldn’t you give dad a bite too?”
Annie thought for a while, then she followed her mommy licking her ice cream. After that, she stretched it out in front of him and generously said, “Here.”
Olive Steele wanted to cover her face. Next time, she couldn’t do such an embarrassing thing in front of her daughter.
Alan Hoyle laughed and took a bite. He squinted at her and his eyes seemed to say, ‘Look at you. Teaching something bad to our daughter.’
She really didn’t mean to do it on purpose, but she couldn’t protest.
After eating the ice cream, he began to teach the two ladies how to hold the gun, aim, and pull the trigger.
This was Olive Steele’s first time and her heart was pounding. She was really afraid that she would shoot out of the target ring and hit an empty target. How embarrassing it would be.
While Annie was very brave. She was better on the contrary of her mommy. It seemed that it was a wise choice to take some time and send her to the martial arts center every week.
