One More Night

Grandpa hated playing mahjong at home the most, so the old lady always played behind his back. If she was caught and gathered people to gamble at home, it would be a big problem.

However, it was too late. Grandpa had already come in.

A large table of people was still standing at the table.

The old lady was a little anxious. She was still holding two tiles in her hands and her smile was not very natural.

There was also a thick pile of money in front of Kevin. In addition to the fact that Nicole had lost a game at the beginning, from now on, he had won a lot of money. Now he was really convicted of having gathered people to gamble.

Mr. Philip looked at them with a bad look. Carole immediately stood up. “Dad, you are back.”

“Yeah, old man, didn’t you say it’s five o’clock? Why did it go ahead of schedule?” The old lady also wanted to reverse the whole thing.

Mr. Philip snorted and said, “You want me to come back later so that you can destroy the corpse, don’t you?”

“What are you talking about? I don’t think so much.” The old lady smiled awkwardly.

Mr. Philip snorted and said, “I’m not a tiger. I can’t eat you. I have something to deal with in the Court. You can finish it.”

After that, the two went upstairs.

The old lady was still scared when she saw the two disappearing from the study. She suddenly smiled and said, “Lowie, your father is not angry.”

“Yeah, he probably thinks it’s New Year’s Day. The family is very happy and lively. Playing cards can make the atmosphere more active.”

“Yes, I’ll go prepare dinner after we finish.”

The curtain of mahjong, which had been played for half of the afternoon, finally came to an end in the old lady’s mourning. Looking at the thick pile of money in front of her, Nicole quickly gave it back to others. “Mom, this is yours. Grandma, this is yours. Farah, this is yours.”

The Old Lady looked at the money that was still in front of her and laughed. This was the first time she saw someone return the money when she played mahjong.

“Nicole, what are you doing? If you win, it’s yours. What are you going to do with us?”

“Aren’t you all having fun? How can I take your money?”

As soon as Nicole finished her words, Kevin collected all the money. Then he said calmly, “If they lose, no need to pay them back. In other words, if you win, you can take it.”

Nicole nodded, “Oh.”

Then he went back to his room with Nicole.

Nicole was still confused , but when she returned to the room, she sat cross-legged on the bed. Looking at the pile of money piled up in front of her, she smiled happily. Every minute counted.

Then she smiled at Kevin and said, “We won 10, 000 dollars. It’s too fast.”

Seeing that she was like a little fool, Kevin was happy. In fact, even if there were two more zeros, Kevin was not moved. But seeing that she smiled like this simply because of such a small sum of money, Kevin actually felt that this money was quite worth it.

“If you like it, you can still play with Grandma tomorrow.”

As a result, Nicole shook her head repeatedly and said, “No, no. You can’t play mahjong with us every day. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know how much I would spit out. If I win, of course, I’m happy. If I lose, I’ll feel pain, so I won’t play mahjong anymore.”

Kevin saw the pained look on her face as soon as she thought of losing money. A smile flashed across her eyes. “Don’t worry about the money. Take it as a red envelope for your elders.”

“Eh? Is this okay?” She frowned.

“Yes. If you win, it’s up to me. If you lose, it’s up to you.”

“It’s not what you said. When you divorce me, you have to take away half of my property. But we didn’t divorce. Isn’t mine yours?”

Then, she suddenly squinted her eyes dangerously and stared at Kevin. “So, if I divorce you, will I suffer losses? If I don’t divorce you, I can get all your money?”

“In theory, that’s right.” He nodded in agreement and saw that Nicole’s eyes were squinting slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

There was a knock on the door. It was a nanny who told them to go downstairs for dinner.

Nicole answered and took the lead in running out.

For the topic just now, she did not go further, but in her heart, because of Kevin’s words, she became anxious and doubtful. What did he want to express, what did he mean? Was he suggesting that she would not divorce?

“Does this mean that I’m too narcissistic?”

“That’s right, it must be so. He just said it casually, and I’m really crazy.”

This day was much livelier than usual, and it was livelier than the past 20 years.

This was the neatest one and also the most one in the Philip family in the past 20 years.

The delicious dishes on the table and the kind families on the table were warm and sweet.

During the dinner, Mr. Philip, as the head of the family, inquired about everyone’s recent situation. Including Nicole.

Here, she was the youngest. Mr. Philip asked if she had any plans since she would graduate in half a year.

Nicole was still a little surprised. Although she was not very ambitious, she still seemed to be a little bit reluctant compared with the excellent person of the Philip family.

However, she didn’t steal or rob. With her own ability, she answered frankly, “I am now interning in the private Clinic. If I do well, I will stay in the clinic.”

“A doctor?” Mr. Philip had never asked Nicole’s major before. She only knew that she was from University, and those who came from University were all high-caliber students.

Although there was still a gap between her education background and Kevin’s, she was still barely strong. And as soon as she heard the name of the clinic, she thought she was a doctor and she could accept it in her heart.

Nicole suddenly felt a little guilty. She knew that the old man’s acceptance ability was not strong. If she really studied her current professional department thoroughly, she was afraid that the traditional-minded old man would not accept it. And a psychologist was indeed a kind of doctor, so Nicole nodded.

“Well, well, it’s New Year’s Eve today. What are you talking about these useless jobs for? Come on, send a red envelope, and send a red envelope.”

The old lady happily took out a stack of red envelopes and distributed one to everyone.

First, she gave them to a few juniors.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

“Thank you, Grandma.”

“Thank you so much that you could not stop thanking me.”

And then each took out a few red envelopes from their pocket and handed one to the younger generation.

“Thank you, brother-in-law.”

The voice of thank you was also endless.

The last one was Carole. Nicole had no choice but to accept the red envelope. This was really the happiest year in her life.

Kevin was the last one.

Nicole didn’t expect that Kevin would even give Farah and James a red envelope. She immediately felt envious. She was younger than Farah. If Farah had a red envelope, she should have a red envelope as well.

“Ha, ha, that’s great. Thank you, brother!” Farah thanked him happily.

No matter how he looked at it, it was enough to make people feel happy.

However, after waiting for a long time, she did not see Kevin make any response. He raised his glass and said to the crowd, “I wish us a happy new year!”

The family stood up and cheered up. Although Nicole felt a little disappointed, she didn’t take it to heart.

Surprisingly, when she went out of the bathroom, she would meet James, and he gave her a red envelope.

“Mr. James, this is…” Nicole was a little dumbfounded.

James, however, smiled and said, “Take it. It’s my lucky money. But I can’t give it to you in front of so many people.”

Nicole’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.

She still wanted to get a red envelope, but she didn’t expect that it came from James. She just felt a little hot and said, “Mr. James, this… No, you don’t have to. Give it to Farah.”

“I’ll give her to you, and your number won’t be less.”

Nicole’s heart suddenly felt heavy, but James had already gone out, and there was such a big family sitting outside. It was obviously inappropriate for her to chase after him with a red envelope, so she had to take it first.

Outside, the family sat in the garden. The opposite side, a large area of fireworks was rising in the air and the loud noise covered all the sounds.

Farah was like a child and kept clapping her hands seeing the gorgeous fireworks. Nicole was also shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her. She had never let go of fireworks.

She was infected by the cheers of the children next door. She turned back and smiled at Kevin, “Honey, can I put one?”

Kevin smiled and said, “Okay.”

There were so many fireworks in the air, and it could be imagined how spectacular it would be.

The light of fireworks was reflected in Nicole’s eyes. It was a happiness that she had never had before. She felt incredibly beautiful, with a smile that was even more beautiful fireworks on her face.

Kevin suddenly grabbed her slender waist and pulled her. His cold and soft lips were first touched like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then gradually, deeply, and finally became hot and intense.

Suddenly, huge and gorgeous fireworks, without warning, lit up the whole earth with a bang.

The moonlight all over the sky enveloped her. She tried her best to remember that beautiful scenery and it became an eternal memory in her memory. Even if the time was long, it would always be so bright.

Now, she is having a baby with her second child with Kevin Jake George. They have their first baby boy and this one on her tummy was a baby girl. She was looking at her father and son, enjoying the fireworks outside.

Kevin was healed of his curse, and little by little his memory returned. They believed that because of their love for each other the curse was lost.

“Mom, come on, let’s light some fireworks!” Ethan happily said.

“Okay.” Nicole smiled at him and walked up to them. She also had the desire to play such a wonderful game.
