My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1647

The air hung heavy with silent hostility as the game stretched on.

The whole afternoon passed quickly. By the time Brenda announced for the game to end, darkness had cloaked outside.

It was right around dinner time, but none of them invited Levi to stay for a meal. Awkwardness billowing in him, Levi once again shot a glance over to Monique, pleading for help. As usual, none of her attention was spared on him.

Since Monique failed to take the hint, Levi had no choice but to take matters into his own hands. "It's getting dark. Why don't I take everyone out for a meal?"

He took the initiative to invite them out. Even if they didn't plan to go, in line with the decorum, they would probably still ask him to stay for dinner. However, Vivian was the first to stand up. "You don't owe us anything, and you lost so much money to us already. How could we let you treat us to dinner?"

Levi thought, "Fine! If you don't take the offer, but let me have dinner with all of you at the very least."

Just as he was lost in his own merry thoughts, Brenda said in surprise, "Oh dear, it's already past six o'clock. Levi, your family must be waiting for you to join them for dinner. We won't keep you then."

Levi was flabbergasted

Everyone in the Zellweger family was a tough nut to crack. Was it too much to ask for them to bear even a semblance of normality?

Shouldn't they invite him to stay for dinner before leaving?

Vivian said, "Young Master Brown, come on, I'll see you off downstairs."

Yet again, Levi felt his usual eloquence desert him.

Since they did not condescend to invite him to stay, he wanted to get Monique to take him downstairs so they could have some alone time. But before he could ask, Vivian took the opportunity to offer to take him downstairs instead. Vivian was a sweet-looking girl, but inside, she was filled with malevolence!

Those who did not know her would take her to be Monique's stepmother.

"What's wrong? You don't want to leave? Do you want to lose more money to us?" said Vivian.

Levi couldn't take it anymore. "Vivian, I dare not trouble you in seeing me off. Monique can take me downstairs. I have something to say to her, anyway. Just us two."

"Well, you can speak here. We're a family anyway, and have nothing to hide from each other!"

Levi could not think of a reply.

Vivian was precisely the person he was trying to hide from.

Perhaps sensing Vivian's inconspicuous attack on Levi, Monique finally stood up from the sidelines and said, "Vivian, go help Mom with dinner. I'll send him downstairs."

"Everyone, I'll be on my way then. See you all another day." Hearing Monique's words, a smile finally bloomed on Levi's face. This silly woman, she had finally unearthed her conscience after all. At least she stopped Vivian from continuing to berate him.

When they went out, Carl and Brenda said casually, "Okay. Be careful on the road, and text Monique when you get home."

Monique had unearthed her conscience, but Vivian's lay buried. As soon as they stepped out of the room, she trailed them. She said to Monique, "Dad and Mom are worried about you going out alone, so they asked me to come with you."
