Chapter 1351 - 1291: To Win or Lose, That Is the Question

Adrian Desmond stood beside Sienna Johnson, looking at her terrible hand, shook his head and said, "Sienna, this hand is way too bad. Unless you cheat, there’s no chance you’ll win."

Sienna Johnson got up and said, "My luck is terrible today, you can play with my mom."

"..."

Sienna Johnson instructed, "Don’t be polite to Madam for my sake, give her a good thrashing and curb her arrogance!"

Pauline Briggs became more excited the more she played, undeterred by Adrian Desmond’s challenge. She waved at Adrian and said, "Adrian, come play a few rounds with Mom."

Sienna Johnson is not someone you mess with, and neither is Pauline Briggs.

Despite her soft personality, somehow she always lorded over him, and he always played the "grandson" role in front of his mother-in-law.

He heard that sons-in-law in Orienta are all like this, which made Adrian Desmond feel slightly better.

After all, marrying such a treasure as their daughter into the family, giving birth to his children, he had to be grateful. So Adrian Desmond was always very tolerant with Pauline Briggs.

"Mom, you’ve been playing for an hour. Why not take a break and rest?" Adrian Desmond suggested tactfully.

"Playing mahjong never tires me out, I just get more excited the more I play."

"Mom, it’s already nine o’clock..."

"Adrian, what’s wrong with you? Trying to avoid me... Are you annoyed by this old lady and don’t want to play cards with me?" Pauline Briggs scolded directly, raising her eyebrows.

Sienna Johnson pulled Adrian Desmond to her previous seat and said, "Madam’s head is already dizzy with victory, she urgently needs a bucket of cold water to cool her down.

Adrian, don’t be polite! Give her a good thrashing, let her know there’s always someone better, and not to be too happy..."

Pauline Briggs looked at her daughter and said, "Your father always said you were generous, magnanimous, had the qualities of a gentleman... praising you like a flower. Look, just because I won a few times more than you, you can’t handle it."

Sienna Johnson: ...

"Sienna, it’s not that I’m saying this, but you’re acting like this..."

Sienna Johnson whispered into Adrian Desmond’s ear, "If you can’t beat the little old lady, don’t come to my bed tonight!"

This threat was more effective than any words. Adrian Desmond was really putting everything into it to ensure he could get into Sienna Johnson’s bed tonight.

It’s really cold in winter here; he wants to sleep holding his wife.

After three rounds, Pauline Briggs lost all three.

"Adrian, did you cheat?" Pauline Briggs couldn’t believe that Adrian Desmond’s luck was so good, even better than every hand she drew earlier.

"Mom, I didn’t need to. For someone at Pauline’s level, no cheating needed."

"Then why do you win every time?"

Adrian Desmond smiled and said, "Just too lucky, my lucky streak is unstoppable."

Sienna Johnson just sat next to Adrian Desmond, resting her chin in her hand, looking at Pauline Briggs and laughed, "Mom, it seems Adrian’s luck is better than yours today and will have more fortune than you next year."

"Bullying an old lady, what kind of skill is that?" Pauline Briggs mumbled, drawing a tile so bad her face changed.

Sienna Johnson just wanted to laugh at Pauline Briggs, clearly couldn’t afford to lose.

"Adrian, why don’t you let my mom win a couple of rounds, Madam can’t afford to lose..."

Pauline Briggs interrupted her daughter and said grumpily, "Who says I can’t afford to lose? Look how many games I’ve lost, and I haven’t said anything."

"Mom, it’s late, let’s play another time."

Compared to playing mahjong, Adrian Desmond would rather go back and cuddle with Sienna Johnson in bed. Paige Desmond was yawning too, "Auntie, I don’t want to play anymore, so tired."

When Pauline won, she lost;

When Adrian won, she lost;

Actually, she was the most tragic one.

Sienna Johnson agreed, "Yes, Mom, time for bed, it’s so late."

Pauline Briggs looked at the money she had won, all now in front of Adrian Desmond, feeling somewhat displeased.

Looking at Adrian Desmond, she couldn’t help but resent: No wonder she didn’t like this kid, look how he’s bullying his mother-in-law?

Seeing the two exchanging glances, Pauline Briggs, as an experienced one, knew they were eager to return to their room for some intimacy.

But, mother-in-law expressed her displeasure.

When the mother-in-law is unhappy, the son-in-law can’t be happy.

"Sienna, Paige, if you’re tired, go to sleep. Adrian, let’s play a two-person mahjong. I don’t believe it, with my luck today, I still can’t beat you."

Adrian Desmond: ...

...

Pauline Briggs and Adrian stayed there playing mahjong, while Sienna Johnson went to call Curly and the others back to sleep.

It was really cold outside, the children had built three big snowmen, putting carrots as long noses.

The children started a snowball fight, and Samara also joined in playing with the little kids.

"Samara, you’re so grown up, still playing snowball fights with them."

Curly hit his mother with a snowball, inviting, "Mom, come over and join us in playing."

Samara also threw a snowball at Sienna Johnson, shouted, "Sister, it’s fun, you should come play too."

"It’s really cold outside, you’ll catch a cold."

"We won’t, Mommy."

"Be good, listen, time for bed."

Curly shouted, "I’m a pea shooter, and my mommy is a zombie, come attack the zombie!"

Curly called George and Dylan to throw snowballs at Sienna Johnson, the kids got excited and started pelting Sienna with snowballs.

"You little... watch me eat your brains."

Sienna Johnson rolled up her sleeves, showing her wrists, and began to counterattack, while the unfortunate Adrian was being tangled by his mother-in-law, playing mahjong.

Adrian expressed his dislike for mahjong.

"Adrian, are you losing on purpose?"

"Mom, I’m not. Your luck was too good, even good cards couldn’t be stopped." Adrian flattered.

Pauline Briggs wasn’t buying it, with a cold face she said, "Old? Where do you see old on me? If we go out, people will definitely say I’m your sister."

Adrian Desmond: ...

"Have you ever seen such a young and beautiful mother-in-law?

Doesn’t know how to speak!

How did you manage to win over Sienna in the first place?"

"Mom, your son-in-law is irresistible, all women love me."

Pauline Briggs shot a disapproving glance over, Adrian immediately shut up, "Women love you, is that a good thing? You’re married, a father of four, still with such wandering affections..."

Adrian Desmond: ...

"Adrian, are you losing to me on purpose? Losing to me on purpose is insulting me."

So, Adrian listened to his mother-in-law and won. Then, faced with the difficult mother-in-law, her tone changed again,

"Adrian, you’re quite something, beating your mother-in-law so defenseless..."

Adrian Desmond: ...

Paige Desmond looked at her poor brother, shook her head. After spending time with Pauline Briggs, she realized that this woman who initially gave an impression of nobility and elegance also had such an adorable side.
