When Freya saw Rodney, she recalled that he had admitted she was tasteless like chicken ribs. Her expression became indifferent. She smiled and said," No need. I can pay myself..."
"Why? It's natural for a husband to pay when his wife loses money," Rodney's maternal cousin spoke up too.
"Alright, I'll pay." Rodney took out his phone to make the payment.
Freya did not say anything when she saw that. It was just a small amount of cash to Rodney anyway.
After making the payment, Rodney turned his head and spoke to Freya, "Come out for a while. I have something to tell you."
"Ooh, what secret are you guys going to talk about?" Aunt Millie teased them. "You can just say it here. Let us listen too. If you don't want to do that, wait till we're done playing poker. I barely had the chance to play poker with Freya."
"That’s right." The other aunts at the side agreed while smiling.
"I'm busy. I don’t have time." Freya did not even look a t the man beside her.
Hmph, why did she have to go out just because he told
her to?
Besides, what was there to do after going out? Was it t o listen to him saying that she was like chicken ribs, tasteless but a pity to throw away?
As she thought about it, she felt increasingly aggrieved and annoyed.
After all, she used to be the belle of Melbourne. Her educational background and accolades were not lacking either. 2
Rodney was embarrassed after getting rejected. It would be inappropriate of him to yank Freya out forcefully. He could only sit at the side and watch her play poker.
Although he was dense in emotional matters, his brain still worked pretty quickly on other stuff. He knew how to count the cards.
After looking for a while, he became anxious. "Ah, don’t play the Ace card. It's better to put out the Jack." 1
Freya would purposely do the opposite of his words. H e told her not to play that card, but she did it anyway.
"Yes!” Rodney's cousin chuckled. "I'm left with the last card."
"See? I told you not to play that card, but you did anyway,” Rodney nagged.
