Chapter 316 - 296, It’s fine, as long as I don’t lose my underwear!

Chapter 316: 296, It’s fine, as long as I don’t lose my underwear!

"It’s fine, without a woman to spend money, what’s the point of a man making so much cash!" Jaysen Smith laughed indifferently, then continued with the next round of mahjong, "Come on, Madeline, let’s keep losing, we’ve got money to lose!"

Upon hearing this, the other men were not happy, as Jaysen’s words implied that they didn’t have money to lose.

"Lina, it seems we also have money to lose!" Mario Jensen looked down at Lina Miller, who was leaning on him curiously watching the mahjong tiles. As he spoke, he also taught her how to recognize the tiles, "Let’s lose a bit too!"

"What the heck, are you guys competing with me for who has more money? I’ll never think I have too much money!"

Michael Gordon glanced at Ivy Aretha, "Wife, just watch. Watch your husband single-handedly win all their money!"

Such bravado from Mr. Gordon, quite arrogant!

Hearing this situation, everyone was engaged in battle mode. Mr. Gordon, the richest man, didn’t want to lose money, so they, the second and third richest men, naturally were more stingy.

"Wife, our baby will be born soon, I think it’s necessary to earn some milk powder money!" Mario Jensen chuckled and touched Lina Miller’s belly, "Baby, daddy’s earning milk powder money for you!"

This clearly implied that he didn’t want to lose either!

"Jaysen, let’s take down these two arrogant guys. From now on, I’ll shut up and not interfere, bring out your real skills to defeat them, then treat me to dinner!"

Jaysen Smith: "..."

However, this round ended with Michael Gordon winning, Jaysen Smith winning, and Mario Jensen winning, with Oliver Thompson losing all by himself!

The three men looked at Oliver Thompson together, with someone having a nonchalant expression, as if he had so much money that it was printed by his own family!

Sitting nearby, Julie Harrison hugged Bianca Aretha and occasionally glanced at him but kept a calm face. She chatted with Bianca Aretha, as if it wasn’t their money being lost, remaining very composed!

After three rounds, the one who lost money was Oliver Thompson!

"Oliver, are you showing off how much USD your family has? Or do you want to give charity to the three of us men who have wives to support?" Michael Gordon glanced at Julie Harrison holding the child and alluded to this. The meaning was obvious: he didn’t have a wife to support, so he was giving money to them.

With a dark face, Oliver Thompson didn’t make a sound and continued to draw tiles. After a while, he finally spoke, "My mahjong skills were taught by my wife; they’re not enough!"

"If your skills are not enough, ask your master for help!" Michael Gordon immediately responded without having to think, "Julia, keep an eye on him! If he keeps losing like this, not only will he lose his underwear, but probably even lose his mother’s home’s son’s underwear too!"

"It’s okay, as long as he doesn’t lose my underwear!"

Michael Gordon: "..."

This woman is ruthless!

"Pfft!" Ivy Aretha really didn’t expect the always gentle Cathy to accept the word "underwear" so naturally!

"When my son’s underwear is all lost, naturally it will be your turn to lose yours!" Oliver Thompson didn’t look at her, only concentrating on casually playing a tile, and then leisurely added, "That’s what being family is all about!"

Julie Harrison didn’t say anything further.

"Julia, keep an eye on him, give him some pointers!" Michael Gordon saw that Oliver Thompson was doing this on purpose, intentionally losing to the point where it wasn’t fun for them, so he pressured Julie Harrison to help him, "Otherwise, it’s not interesting to play, don’t let your little couple’s issues spoil everyone else’s mood!"

Michael Gordon knew this woman very well, after all, she had been Oliver Thompson’s wife for so many years, her character was very clear - she was the type who could flip the roof behind closed doors, but even if she was exploding with anger in public, she could still talk and laugh casually!

This so-called upbringing of the wealthy was here; he knew she would give in to his demands to save face, so he spoke up for Oliver Thompson. This man also knew her well, that’s why he used losing money to exert pressure, and waited arrogantly for her to speak up.

As expected, as soon as Michael Gordon’s words fell, Julie Harrison quietly moved her chair closer to Oliver Thompson, and then told Bianca Aretha to teach Oliver Thompson how to play!

Oliver Thompson’s mahjong skills were indeed taught by Julie Harrison, as he was a busy man with little interest in women’s pastimes. The fact that he could play mahjong was due to an occasion when Julie Harrison’s classmates insisted on playing mahjong at a gathering, and all their spouses could play except Oliver Thompson. Upon returning home, she kept pestering him to learn mahjong.

Later, he learned how to play, but still didn’t enjoy it, so even though he knew how to play, his skills were average, which Julie Harrison was well aware of.

So when Michael Gordon spoke, she didn’t suspect the slightest bit of her man’s thoughts and directly fell into the trap, teaching Oliver Thompson to play cards.

Suddenly, the mahjong table became evenly matched, with both the players who understood mahjong and those who didn’t finding it interesting. Lina Miller was not interested in this kind of thing at all. Although Mario Jensen explained it to her while playing, she listened carefully at first.

But as time went on, her eyelids became so heavy she couldn’t keep her eyes open, and she started nodding off!

Mario Jensen had her go upstairs to the guest room to sleep, but the woman insisted on staying, saying that everyone else was there, so she should be too. Unable to persuade her, he could only straighten his legs and let her doze off on his lap for a while. He continued playing and occasionally looked at her face, worried that she might be uncomfortable sleeping on his legs.

In the end, Mario Jensen couldn’t help but worry, so he directly picked up the sleeping woman from his lap and held her in his arms while continuing to play.

Fortunately, Lina Miller was on the thin side, so for a man like Mario Jensen, her weight was no different than having none at all. However, this action left the remaining people speechless - they had seen people holding children while playing cards, but never an adult!

Today, their horizons were expanded. Thankfully, Lina Miller was sleeping too heavily to see the flaming stares coming from the onlookers.

When she woke up again, the mahjong game had already ended, and she was lying on the sofa with Mario Jensen’s arms around her!

When she asked about the mahjong game’s outcome, Michael Gordon immediately replied, "Each husband and wife joined forces, with two acting hands each. Your family only had half a hand in action. If we lost to your family, it would insult our intelligence!"

"Our family also had two people, how could it be half a person?" Lina Miller looked at Michael Gordon, puzzled. "No, there’s one more in my belly, so it should be three people, why has it become only half a person?"

"Ahem, you even have the nerve to say, while everyone else’s two people were contributing wisdom, or physical strength like massages, you were happily letting Mario hold you while you slept on the mahjong table all afternoon. If your family didn’t lose, it would be unfair to your professional hindering skills!"

Michael Gordon shot a glance at Mario Jensen, hitting the nail on the head!

Upon hearing that Mario Jensen had been holding her and sleeping at the card table all afternoon, Lina Miller’s face turned red!
