Roy leaned into Tanisha, whispering, “If he knew how to play cards, I wouldn’t dare challenge him. I’m just taking
advantage of his lack of knowledge”
Tanisha asked, “What are you up to?”
Roy responded, “Nelly’s dad passed away early, and both me and Allen can be considered her half–fathers. Now
that her husband is here, shouldn’t we check him oul for her dad’s sake?”
Tanisha said. “Sure, just don’t go overboard. I think Mr. Artis is quite nice. He treats Nelly well, and he’s left a good
impression on me, both with his looks and his
actions.”
Roy gave her a sideways glance, “Women are so superficial. You see a good looking guy and instantly think he’s an

Tanisha shot back, “And who’s really the superficial one here, men or women? You’re not exactly spring chicken, yet
you’re constantly tipping those pretty game
streamers”
Roy defended himself, “That girl is the best gamer I’ve seen, and it’s not like I’m throwing tons of money at her…”
Tanisha challenged, “Don’t try to tell me you watch her streams just because she’s good at games?”
Roy insisted, “Yes, I do”
Tanisha rolled her eyes, clearly not buying it.
Zack said, “Dad, let’s talk about what the losers‘ punishment will be.”
Roy pulled out his liquor and several beer glasses, “The loser drinks. Lose a round, drink a glass.”
Marcus‘ stomach definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it. Cornelia quickly intervened. “Jeremy has a weak stomach,
he can’t drink.”
Marcus said, “It’s fine.”
Cornelia said, “Have you forgotten about the time you had a stomach bleed because of alcohol?”
Marcus whispered into her ear, “Don’t worry, they won’t be able to beat me.”
“How can you be so confident you’ll beat them when you don’t even know how to play cards?” Cornelia knew
Marcus was a quick learner, but there was no way he could master cards instantaneously, let alone beat these
seasoned players. After all, playing cards was more about luck.
“Mr. Antis had a stomach bleed because of alcohol? Then he can’t drink… Let’s change the punishment.” Roy didn’t
insist, although he sounded a bit reluctant
Marcus said, “No need, the loser drinks.”
Everyone turned to look at Cornelia, seeking her approval.

Roy said, “Don’t worry, we won’t”
Allen said, “I have one small request, no coaching from the sidelines.”
They were clearly taking advantage of Marcus unfamiliarity with cards. Marcus didn’t say much, just gave a small
smile, “Let’s get started”
Abigail muttered, “So sneaky!”
Allen said, “Wait till your boyfriend comes, you’ll see how I deal with him.”
Abigail immediately shut her mouth, best not to rile up this crafty man under these circumstances.
Then, the game officially began.
First, it was Roy’s turn, then Allen, and finally Marcus.
In the first round, everyone made it through safely. Then came the second round, the third… Every time they put
down a card, Marcus would pick one up. Before long, Marcus laid down his cards, “Did I win?”
Both men leaned in simultaneously, picking up Marcus‘ cards to check.
