This is amazing.
Paige looked at Gabriel, who looked composed, and the corner of her lips curled up with pride.
So her son is really just lazy in general.
“My son is just like me,”
Enrico said, looking on with a little smirk of pride.
“…”
Paige looked at him, silent.
It seems like she is the one who never forgets, and if she is to be inherited, it will be her genes.
She was happy, so naturally Sheryl was no longer happy, and she glared fiercely at her poker partner over there, wondering why he had played three similar cards in a row, deliberately confusing the view?
Her partner was annoyed by the glare and looked away.
Really, if her grandson is no good, why blame her? She has taught Steve a lot, but he still can’t compare to other people’s children.
Someone urged them to continue.
Her partner then took out the cards and continued to let the two children guess. This time, she covered it even more, only revealing the arc of a single flower petal.
Steve couldn’t recognize it at all, and could only listen to Gabriel keep naming the flowers.
One after the other.
He kept talking.
And they were all correct, not a single mistake.
He nervously watched Gabriel, his breathing unsteady, his small hands clutching his clothes as he tried to win but couldn’t find the words.
Sheryl gave him a nudge on the shoulder, “Steve, say something, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Steve stumbled forward as he was pushed, and the dizzy, queasy feeling came back.
“Ugh…”
He opened his mouth and vomited painfully, spewing a mass of undigested glutinous rice balls onto the floor.
Gabriel looked at him in some dismay, and Steve’s parents hurriedly tried to go over to him. “Why is he vomiting? Let’s go to the hospital.”
“Oh, no, the competition is still going on, leave him alone!”
Seeing that they were about to take Steve away, Sheryl quickly pushed them away, took the suffering Steve into her arms, unscrewed a glass of water and gave it to him to drink, ‘Come on, sweetie, let’s drink some water and continue the competition.’
This poker player is no good, she still knows other people, several of whom have played with Steve, and she just doesn’t believe that Gabriel can win every time.
“Ugh, no, ugh…”
Sheryl poured the drink down his throat quickly and forcefully. Steve didn’t want to drink anymore, but he was forced to, and he felt so uncomfortable that he vomited all over the floor and himself.
The unpleasant smell spread, and everyone covered their noses and backed away.
Steve was held so tightly by Sheryl that he almost fainted. Sheryl’s son couldn’t stand it anymore and took his son from the old woman, “That’s enough! When are you going to stop?”
Sheryl was a little dumbfounded by her usually obedient son’s yelling at her, and then she said excitedly, “Do you want to die? How dare you speak to me like that!”
After saying that, she began to cover her heart again, “Ouch, you have no conscience. I have saved and scrimped to raise you, and I dare not rest even for a day when I am old, and I have also brought up your children for you, and you treat me like this… My heart is beating so fast, I might as well die, I might as well die…”
“I…”
Sheryl’s son was speechless when he saw her like this.
“Children are like blank sheets of paper, and education is crucial. Your mother is obviously not a good person to entrust your education to.”
A cold voice came from behind him.
Sheryl’s son turned around with Steve in his arms, and he met Paige’s indifferent gaze. She said word by word, “Adults should know the principle of stopping in time.”
On hearing this, Sheryl’s son’s face twitched. Thinking about Gabriel’s calm and composed appearance in the face of competition, and then thinking about his own unhappy son whenever he loses, he finally made up his mind and looked at Sheryl and said, “In the future, you don’t need to babysit our child.”
His wife, who was standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
For the sake of the relationship between husband and wife and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she had never dared to say this, but today her husband had finally woken up.
On hearing this, Sheryl became anxious and looked at him blankly, “What did you say? Are you crazy?”
“I should have said this a long time ago. For the sake of your face, you desperately forced us to sign Steve up for interest classes. Can’t you see that he is tired of studying? And you have made him so competitive. Can he handle setbacks in the future?”
Sheryl’s son took his child in his arms and took a step back, his attitude resolute, “In the future, we can earn less as a couple and spend more time with Steve.”
“Are you trying to distance yourself from me now? For Steve’s sake, I’ve sacrificed so much of my own time. I stay by his side every day, cooking and cleaning for him, taking the pressure off you. How can you say such an ungrateful thing?”
“I know you have a hard time raising the child. I’ll pay you back for the hard work you’ve done over the past few years, and you can go back to doing your own thing,” Sheryl’s daughter-in-law said.
“…”
Sheryl was dumbfounded.
At her age, raising children is the core of everything. It can even be said that the awards Steve wins and the things he learns are the value of her life, and they make her look good when she goes out.
She has long been used to this kind of life, and taking Steve away from her would be like cutting off a piece of her flesh.
She suddenly glared at Paige, “It’s you, you woman, you’re getting back at me! You deliberately let them take my grandson away! I’ll fight you to the death!”
With that, an irrational Sheryl charged at Paige.
“Don’t-”
Gabriel angrily rushed forward to stop her.
Enrico stood in front of Paige, raised his hand and swept Sheryl back, easily knocking her to the ground.
Sheryl didn’t even touch Paige’s clothes.
“Good fight!”
A voice of relief erupted from the crowd.
Any normal person would hate this kind of disrespectful person.
Seeing that no one was helping her, Sheryl covered her face and cried. She touched her leg with her hand and started to make a scene again. Seeing this, her son said impatiently, “Okay! Steve is still in pain, and you’re making a scene?”
“…”
Sheryl’s shoulders shook when she was yelled at, and she turned into a low sob.
“Mr. and Mrs. Gustin, I’m sorry, please take Gabriel to the hospital for a check-up. We will bear the cost of the examination and medical fees, as well as the nutrition fees.” Sheryl’s daughter-in-law turned to look at Paige, her gaze full of gratitude.
If it weren’t for Paige, her husband would probably not have been able to make up his mind.
“I just looked at it, the bone is fine, there is no swelling, so don’t worry about it.”
Facing such a gesture, Paige naturally would not care much. “But Sheryl, we will still sue, and she must pay for her words and actions.”
Upon hearing this, Sheryl’s shoulders slumped, and she collapsed to the ground, expressionless.
It’s over.
The baby is gone.
She still has to face a lawsuit, and she has never faced a lawsuit in her life…
Sheryl’s son and daughter-in-law looked a little sad when they heard this, but they also knew that the other party was being generous enough, so they nodded and thanked them, “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Gustin.”
The farce came to an end.
Paige looked at Steve, who was pale, and said, “You go over there first and let the little girl take a look at Steve. She understands medicine and just wanted to treat your son, but your mother stopped her.”
