Chapter 128
After dinner, Dorothy suggested playing poker together as an after dinner activity.
somethin
To put it bluntly, Dorothy wanted to give Ash and Calvert some time to spend with each other Otherwise doe we ar arranged for them to be in the same group.
Dorothy kat opposite Ash and Calvert, while the Turner couple occupied the other side.
“Go ahead.” Ash did not really want to sit with the poker face Calvert, who looked just the others owed his money cr opinion.
Calvert glanced at her from the corner of his eye, “Both our families are here. Please by the basic space f
contract.
She frowned slightly and lowered her voice while looking at him unhappily “What do you more? When do y that? I’m just afraid that we don’t see eye to eye. Don’t argue at the poker table later. If we’re exposed, don’t wa
There was a faint look of alienation on Calvert’s face. He wore an aloof “Tre just an act. There won’t be my thrust you. put in a lot of effort.”
In the past, Ash would always use the word “act“. Now that Calvert said it, she felt inexplicably angry,
She thought, ‘Previously when I said that we were acting, he would always be upset. Now he has said it, which totally contradicts his previous attitude. So men are all liars!
“Yes, it’s just an act. Our acting skills have always been passable, and today is no exception Ash put on a fake and perfunctory smile.
The two of them had been whispering to each other. Dorothy sat opposite them and watched for a long time. She fought that the two young people had reconciled and was filled with joy. She was even more smug about her wagestion
However, Dorothy had clearly counted her chickens before they hatched.
Ash had been telling herself to put on a good show and cooperate, but after a few rounds, she really could not agree with Calvert’s strategy.
“Hey, how could you do that? You had a flush!” Ash really couldn’t take it anymore.
Calvert did not say anything. He looked at the cards silently and raised another card. Then, he unfolded his cards. The people at the table craned their heads to look.
Brooke exclaimed and gasped. “Wow, you won again. Calvert, your luck… You and Ash are really lucky when you play together.”
“This is what happens according to your strategy. You can only achieve great things by remaining calm. Do you understand?” Calvert tilted his head slightly. His tone was obviously provocative.
Ash sneered. “It’s pure luck. If you really know how to play, you shouldn’t have played that card just now. Can being lucky once represent good strength?”
“Good luck is also a part of strength.” Calvert seemed to want to go against Ash on purpose. His casual words were extremely domineering.
Ash was pissed. She narrowed her eyes and gnashed her teeth when she said, “Yes, luck is also a part of strength. Mr. Snider, you’re still the best and the most capable. Every step you take is part of the plan and there will never be any accidents. Impressive.”
Calvert narrowed his eyes and asked gloomily, “Are you still going to play?”

Ash chuckled, “Sure. Why not? You’ve put in so much effort to make a good start. How can I not cherish it? I’ve just lost a few rounds. I have to win my money back.
“Alright, you do it” Calvert gave up his seat in the center. “Since you think I’m too worrying when I play cards, you’ll do it. and I’ll learn the proper way from you”
Ash pursed her lips, and there was obvious anger in her beautiful eyes. “Alright. Keep your eyes open and learn well. We’re playing cards as a family. Just take it easy. Put away your work skills.”
“Alright. I’ll wait and see Calvert narrowed his deep eyes.
Dorothy and the Turner couple looked at each other. They felt that there seemed to be something unknown between the two young people, who seemed to be mad at each other and could not stop arguing.
Josh smiled gently and handed a cup of coffee to Ash. “Ash, will you feel uncomfortable if your neck stays stiff like this? Why don’t you take a break?”
“Not necessary. He gave me such a good start just now. If I give up now, wouldn’t I be wasting the fruits of his efforts?” Ash smiled at her father.
Then, everyone started to get their cards. Ash felt that God was deliberately making things difficult for her. Calvert’s cards in the first few rounds were quite nice, but hers were terrible.
She could feel that Calvert had been paying attention to her, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Ash was not someone who liked to admit defeat. No matter how bad the start was, as long as she was in charge of her cards, she had to bite the bullet and win with them.
Calvert glanced at her cards and said, “You’re losing. I don’t think you can win this round.”
“What does it have to do with you? I’m the one playing cards right now. Please keep quiet, alright?” Ash did not need him to remind her. It was already not easy for her to keep playing with the crappy cards she got.
When Brooke heard this, she kicked Josh under the table and gave him a look. Instantly, Josh understood and the two of them looked at Dorothy at the same time.
The three of them tacitly began to cooperate. In the end, they lost after playing along well.
“Ugh, I’ve got such poor cards. I’d certainly lose.” Dorothy let out a long sigh.
Brooke also chimed in, “That’s right. My cards are poor too. No one can win this no matter how great their card skills are. But it seems to be a full moon tonight. Mrs. Snider, why don’t we go out and admire the moon?”
“Alright.” Dorothy wisely followed the Turner couple and left. Only Ash and Calvert were left in the lounge. The atmosphere was very awkward.
Calvert stood
up
and looked down at her. “You’re not going out?”
“Whether I go out or not has nothing to do with you. Or should I agree with you because of the spirit of the contract?” Ash’s words were filled with sarcasm.
The two of them seemed to have returned to the state when they first met. Their relationship seemed to be even more severe than then. They were both aggressive, and neither of them was willing to give in first.
With one hand in his pocket, Calvert said, “I was just saying. You must be thinking too much. If you don’t want it, no one can force you. It’s just that you agreed to this contract willingly. Since that’s the case, just abide by it. I don’t think I need to remind you of this.”
Ash also stood up and gripped the back of the chair tightly. “Don’t worry. I will act well in this scene.”
