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.
Rodney was embarrassed after getting rejected. It would be inappropriate of him to yank Mireya 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.”
Mireya would purposely do the opposite of his words.
He 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.
After a while, he started nagging again. “Don’t play that card… See? You helped her win… It was so obvious that she was about to win when she played the King card. This is so easy… Why can’t you see it … You lost money again… You played it wrongly again. Don’t put this card out… Ah, why are you so stupid?”
Mireya got more and more embarrassed because of Rodney’s words. Her expression became darker.
If there were no people present, she really wanted to throw the cards on Rodney’s face.
F*ck. He was all high and mighty just because he knew how to play poker, huh?
Was there anything wrong if she did not know how to play or if she simply did not want to use her brain?
Everyone sensed that the atmosphere was weird. However, a certain someone just could not sense it.
Aunt Millie cleared her throat. “Rodney, can you shut up? You’re too noisy. Can you just go out? Don’t disturb us here.”
“Why should I go out? Should I just watch as you all bully Mireya? She hasn’t even won once. ” Rodney looked at Mireya. “Listen to my instructions during the next round. I’ll surely make you win.”
“No need. Dani may be hungry. I’ll check on her. You can sit here and play. ” Mireya tried to squeeze a smile out. She stood up and left.
“Ah, I’ll follow you.”
Rodney quickly went after her.
Aunt Millie sighed. “Rodney looks quite sharp when he’s doing business, but why is he so stupid in private?”
“That’s right. I saw Mireya almost cry out of frustration.”
” If it were my man, I’d definitely give him a hard slap across his face. Playing poker is just a form of entertainment. Why did he keep nagging?”
“No, I have to talk about this with Wendy. If that kid keeps this up, they’ll definitely end up divorcing.”
However, the person involved was still oblivious about it.
Rodney kept chasing after Mireya, but she was walking too fast.
He had no choice but to grab her. “Stop, I have something to tell you…”
Mireya withdrew her arm with all her strength. She did not want to talk to him at all.
“Don’t go. ” Rodney pulled her to his front. When he saw Mireya’s red eyes, he was stunned.
“Why are you crying?” Rodney feared it most when women cry. He was utterly flustered.
He was not even that flustered when Sarah cried in the past. After all, he knew that Mireya rarely cried in front of him. The time she cried the hardest was on the day she gave birth.
“Get lost,” Mireya said with a hoarse voice. At the same time, she looked toward him with a calm and cold gaze.
“You… What’s wrong with you?” Rodney was at a loss. He would rather Mireya throw a tantrum than being in that state. It was like the calm before a storm. “Is it because you lost some money just now? It’s okay. It’s just a small amount of money. “
Mireya laughed in anger.
Did he not have a f*cking clue as to why she was crying?
Of course, the most saddening thing was that he did not have a f*cking clue at all.
“Rodney, let go. I don’t want to see you.” Mireya was terrified she could not resist charging over to bite him if she saw him again.
“Don’t lash out your anger on me. If you had played according to what I said, you wouldn’t have…”
Mireya did not want to continue listening at all.
It felt as if the string that was pulled taut in her head had finally snapped.
She could not tolerate it anymore. She went forward and pushed him hard. “Can you just stay away from me? Don’t keep nagging in front of me all day. Do you know that you’re really hateful?”
Rodney was caught off guard. His tall figure was pushed to the ground.
He gazed at her with widened eyes and his breath quickened.
What did she say?
She told him to stay away from her.
She also said that he was really hateful?
Rodney felt as if a flame had been lit up in his chest. Sarah used to say those words.
Right then, Mireya said it too.
As a man, was he that hateful and a failure?
Was it destined that no woman would like someone like him?
“Enough, Mireya.”
He stood up with a cold expression on his handsome face. His tone was harsh. “Do you think you’re that likable? You’re so hateful that it makes me puke too. With your character, if it weren’t for me, no one would marry you in your whole life.”
“Haha, that’s great. It takes one to know another.” Mireya took a step back. Big teardrops fell from her eyes.
She turned around and ran away quickly. Her tears fell on the ground.
Rodney’s head buzzed. He suddenly realized how offensive his words were.
However, it was as if his legs were filled with lead.
Why should he chase after Mireya? She did not like him anyway.
She hated it when she saw him.
If he went over, it would only make her despise him more.
He stood there in a daze for some time.
Not long after, Wendy rushed over furiously with those aunties who were playing poker just now.
“Rodney Snow, why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you?” Wendy slapped him across his face right away.
“Mom, what are you doing?” Rodney was stunned from being slapped.
“Let me ask you. What did you say to Mireya? She was so angry that she took the child and left. The people of the Lynch family went after her just now.”
Wendy’s body trembled in fury. “Today is the baby’s one-month celebration. As parents, can you two be more sensible? Why did you have to upset your wife on this day?”
Rodney was stunned. He never thought that Mireya would have such a big reaction. “I did not. She was the one who angered me.”
Aunt Millie snapped, “Who’s making who unhappy now? We were there playing poker properly, yet you, a man, kept ordering Mireya what to do. Your tone was filled with disdain toward her, and you even said she was stupid in front of so many people. Mireya was being extra nice to you by tolerating it and not telling you off.”
