Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 29

As Mandy was lost in her thoughts, Essie took out a deck of cards from her bag and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's have some fun, shall we?" With three people, they could play one of her favorite card games. She began shuffling the cards and arranging the deck.

Mandy turned to her with a disdainful look. Though they had always played this game with Eva, but this would only bore Zac who was used to playing golf, polo and yacht. How could she force him to play such cheap card games?

Just as Mandy had guessed, it was true that Zac had never played such card games before. Nevertheless, his curiosity was piqued and he was soon very interested in it. "How do you play it?" he asked innocently.

Essie's eyes widened in amazement as if she had just heard the biggest revelation of the century. "You don't know how to play 'Fight Against Landlords'?"

"Is it strange?" Zac asked while raising an eyebrow.

Essie was puzzled. This was the most popular poker game in China. Primary school students often play this game, so how come he didn't know how to play it?

"Do you know how to play 'Go Fish'?"

Zac shook his head.

"What about 'Old Maid'?"

Zac continued shaking his head.

Essie was speechless. She was starting to think that this man was not from the same planet as her. Was he from Mars?

"Do you know how to play poker?" continued Essie.

Zac shrugged. Actually, he rarely played with cards. When he was in New York, he had learned about poker but he only played it occasionally.

In his silence, Mandy took the opportunity to cut in, "What's the fun in cards? Zac, let's go sailing, shall we?" She smiled sweetly and hoped that she could finally have a moment with him.
