Chapter 195 Details of the Game
Julien lowered his eyes so that no one could see the real emotion in them. "No, I just wanted to know what the restaurant manager wanted to say."
His expression was so calm that it did not seem like he was lying.
Sydney nodded and believed him. "I see."
It seemed like she had overthought it.
Well, he hated her so much. Why would he deliberately let the manager misunderstand that they were husband and wife?
"But why did you agree to take part in the activity, President Flint?" Sydney looked up at Julien.
Julien's thin lips moved. "It's for Davey. He's Hunter's nephew, and I'm Hunter's friend. It's only natural for me to take care of Davey."
He did not want her to know that he only wanted to participate for her.
As for what the reason was, he was not sure either.
"Alright." Sydney shrugged, indicating that she understood him.
She did not doubt Julien's words.
Julien and Hunter were indeed good friends, and it was only natural to take care of a good friend's
nephew.
Without speaking again, the two adults and one child came to the stage to sign up.
Since they were extremely attractive, they instantly attracted the attention of the entire restaurant.
After signing up, Sydney and Julien took Davey by his hands and stood with the other four families, waiting for the activity to begin.
Beside Sydney, a woman in her thirties leaned over and stared at the three of them.
Feeling a little uncomfortable from being stared at, Sydney asked, "Miss, is there a problem?"
The lady said enviously, "Girl, you and your husband are really well-matched. You both have such stunning faces. I've never seen a couple as beautiful as you. Not even TV stars can compare to you! It's no wonder that your little boy is so cute as well."
She looked at Julien and Davey and then back at her own husband and son beside her. She could not help but sigh.
There was no comparing them at all.
Sydney felt embarrassed when she heard the lady say Julien and her were well-matched.
If they were such a perfect match, would they be divorced now?
"You're too kind, Miss. We're just average. We're not as good as you say." Sydney forced the corners of her mouth into a smile as she replied.
They were just pretending to be Davey's parents to participate in the parent-child activity.
Sydney could not explain that she and Julien were not husband and wife and that Davey was not their child. Hence, she had to bite the bullet and deal with it.
"You call this average? You must be kidding me. You're... What do they call it on the Internet? Oh, right. Humblebragging." The lady gave Sydney a side glance.
The corners of Sydney's mouth tugged. It was better to keep her mouth shut.
Julien suddenly turned to look at her. "What were you saying to her?"
A glint flashed in Sydney's eyes. "It's nothing. We just wondered what the game would be later."
She would not tell him that the lady said they were a good match.
They had divorced anyway, so there was no need to.
When Julien saw that Sydney did not tell the truth, he pursed his thin lips and suddenly felt somewhat disappointed.
In fact, he had heard their conversation earlier.
Although the lady and she spoke very softly, he still heard what they said.
The reason why he asked despite knowing was that he wanted to hear her talk about it. Unfortunately, she was unwilling.
Julien lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Soon, the parent-child activity officially started.
The activity was divided into a total of three rounds of games.
The first round was the kissing card game, the second round was push-ups, and the third was a three-legged race.
After the first round, the three families with the best scores would be selected to enter the second round. Similarly, at the end of the second round, the two families with the best scores would be selected to enter the third round to compete for the championship.
The winner would get the Gundam toy that Davey loved, as well as free meal vouchers for the parents and child in the restaurant. The runner-up and the first two families eliminated would also get corresponding rewards, but they would not be as as generous as the first prize.
Sydney looked at the name of the first game on the game board in front of her and furrowed her brows.
"What's wrong?" Julien stood beside her and asked in a concerned tone.
Sydney did not notice it because she was too focused. She pointed at the name of the game and replied, "I know what the second and third games are, but what's the kissing card game supposed to mean?"
The word 'kiss' made her feel slightly resistant to it as well.
She was afraid that the kiss would be for the moms and dads. If it was, that meant Julien and her had to... NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Refusing to think about it, she shook her head and threw the thought out of her head.
Julien pinched his chin with his thumb and forefinger and thought about it. However, he rubbed his temples and could not figure it out. "Ask the manager."
"Yeah." Sydney nodded.
If it really was what she thought it was, she could also ask the manager to change the rules.
Thus, Sydney called the manager over.
The manager listened and then responded with a smile. "The game is very simple. I'll put a playing card on the little one's mouth. Then, the mom will use her lips to take the card from him and pass it
to the dad. The dad will then pass it back to the mom, who will pass it back to the child. If the card doesn't drop, you pass."
At that, Julien raised his brows.
Sydney nodded, indicating that she understood. "I see."
She let out a sigh of relief when she heard that it was
not actually kissing.
However, on second thought, it was still an indirect kiss, which she could not accept.
"Manager, can we change it to another game?" Sydney looked at the manager and asked.
Julien's eyes narrowed. Unbeknownst to himself, his gaze looked irritated and unhappy when he looked at Sydney.
She was asking to change the game.
Was it because she did not want to have contact with him?
"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but we can't." The manager smiled apologetically. "The game has been set since the beginning, and all the props are ready. Now that we've announced the games, everyone would doubt the credibility of our restaurant if we suddenly change them. Please be considerate."
Then, he walked away.
He was afraid that the lady would start begging him if he stayed any longer.
Seeing the manager's departing figure, Sydney rubbed her temples and knew it was impossible to change the game.
How could this happen?
"If you don't want to play, we can quit." Julien's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Sydney blinked, a little tempted to.
Julien grew even angrier when he saw that, and his expression sank.
He could not believe she really wanted to quit because he mentioned it.
Was she so reluctant to be with him?
Davey also saw Sydney's hesitation and took her hand, looking up at her. "Mommy, I want that Gundam. It's a limited edition model. The ones outside aren't as tall."
Sydney looked at the Gundam model that was almost 20 inches tall at the prize area on the other side and sighed.
Then, she squatted down and smiled at Davey." Alright. Let's work together and get it."
"Thanks, Mom." Davey kissed her on the face.
Sydney's eyes widened slightly, seemingly shocked by the kiss. She touched her face and did not stand up for a long time.
Julien's expression turned ashen when he saw the scene. He felt Davey increasingly unpleasant the more he looked at him.
'This little brat is so impolite. How could he just kiss someone so casually?
'I haven't even...'
Julien pursed his lips in a thin line and reached out to pull Davey's cheek, causing Davey to glare at him.
When Julien saw the red mark on Davey's face, he finally let go in satisfaction.
Davey took that opportunity to complain. "Mommy, Daddy bullied me."
Sydney's eyes flashed as she suddenly snapped back to her senses.
Just now, Davey's kiss gave her a different feeling, and the way he called her 'Mommy' this time touched her heart.
If she gave birth to the child in her belly, would he kiss her like Davey and call her Mom just as sweetly?
As she imagined it, that scene seemed quite nice.
