After a fierce battle, Mike won a lot, while Peggy Carter and Maria lost with gritted teeth.
Tony didn't care at all about the tens of thousands of dollars he lost. Instead, he felt that the whole afternoon was wasted.
But Pepper Potts on the side looked at it with bright eyes.
Can you win so much money
She secretly glanced at Tony and decided to take some time to study hard.
Mike looked at the time and said, "The time is up, I have to pick up the child."
"Wait!" Peggy Carter said anxiously: "One more fight, I think I'm going to win!"
"Um?"
Suddenly, Peggy Carter and the others looked at Mike with doubtful eyes and said, "Child?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Mike was stunned for a moment and said, "I adopted a daughter some time ago."
"I didn't say it!"
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
"Then I'll introduce you when I get back."
Mike stood up, pointed to Pepper Potts beside him, and said, "Let Pepper accompany you."
He had already seen Pepper Potts's moving eyes.
Pepper Potts hesitated.
She wanted to try, but this time she lost money, her salary...
Tony glanced at it, waved his hand, and said, "If you lose, I'll help you out!"
Pepper Potts sat down without hesitation and said: "Thank you, boss!"
Looking at the four people who started shuffling the cards again, Mike stood up and walked out.
School buses usually arrive at the station on time.
As Mike walked towards the station, a familiar car stopped beside him.
Turning around to look, Gwen poked her head out of the car window and smiled at Mike.
"dad!"
Mike smiled softly and looked at his good neighbor John.
John smiled at Mike and said, "I happened to pick up Luke. Seeing that Gwen was waiting for the bus, I picked him up together. Don't blame me?"
Mike nodded and said, "Thanks."
"dad!"
Gwen opened the car door, ran out with her schoolbag, and hugged Mike.
Mike touched Gwen's head, held Gwen's schoolbag in his hand, and said to Luke: "I made some snacks yesterday, and I will ask Gwen to give you some later."
Luke said nervously: "No, no need!"
"You're welcome!" Gwen turned her head and puffed out her chest, saying, "It's delicious!"
John looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Say thank you quickly."
Luke was a little embarrassed, but still smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Bye, Uncle John!" Gwen waved her hand generously and said, "Dad and I are walking back."
"Bye, Gwen."
John nodded to Mike and drove away.
The father and daughter were walking home, and Gwen was like a bird returning to its nest, chirping to Mike about today's events.
Mike responded with a smile and said: "I bought you a mobile phone this morning. If you want to take the school bus by yourself, you must hold the mobile phone. If you encounter trouble, call me at any time."
"cell phone?"
Gwen looked at Mike in surprise.
Mike nodded and said: "It's just for communication, not for fun."
"Yeah, I know!"
Gwen nodded slightly and suddenly said: "Dad, Luke and I will take the school bus to school from tomorrow, so you don't have to worry!"
"Luke?" Mike raised his eyebrows and suddenly said: "What do you think of Luke? Is he handsome?"
"Luke..." Gwen bit her finger and said, "He's very handsome! But he was ostracized by other classmates at school, and he would fight with others because of his mother's affairs."
"fight?"
Mike was a little surprised.
Because Luke is very similar to his father, they are both gentle-looking and good-tempered people.
"Yes!" Gwen nodded, but sighed like an adult and said: "His mother was imprisoned. Many classmates laughed at him about this incident and said bad things about his mother, saying that his mother was a murderer. They committed a crime, but Luke said his mother was wronged, so Luke would fight with them."
Is that so
Mike whispered, no wonder John always looked melancholy and had a lot of things on his mind.
"Then what do you think?"
"I don't know either!" Gwen sighed and said, "But Luke is a good man."
Mike smiled and asked: "Then you will not be friends with Luke because your classmates are alienating Luke, saying bad things about Luke's family?"
"How is that possible!" Gwen said seriously: "Luke and I are friends! And Uncle John is also a good man!"
After touching Gwen's head and seeing Gwen looking at him with doubts and questions, Mike affirmed: "You did the right thing."
Gwen smiled happily.
"Let's go, there are still guests at home."
"guest?"
Gwen said in surprise and anticipation: "Is it my brother?"
Mike patted Gwen on the head and said, "Why did my brother become a guest?"
"Yes!"
Gwen covered her mouth and smiled, shook her head, and dragged Mike forward.
When they returned home, Peggy Carter and others were still fighting fiercely.
However, looking at the expressions of a few people...
Peggy Carter wins
Just as the thought came to an end, Peggy Carter proudly showed off to Mike: "Look, I said that spell worked! I won! Maria also won!"
mantra…
Forget it, just be happy.
The four people turned their heads and their eyes fell on Gwen.
Mike introduced: "Gwen, my daughter!"
"Yeah! So cute!"
Maria gave Peggy Carter a look that meant she would withdraw if she won, then rushed over and said, "I'm Maria."
Gwen shouted hesitantly: "Maria..."
"Call Auntie."
Mike reminded hurriedly.
"Aunt Maria."
Gwen smiled sweetly.
Maria was elated and suddenly said: "I don't know if I will have the chance to be a grandma in this life."
Tony held his forehead and came again.
Maria pointed to the others and introduced them, while Gwen greeted the others.
"Aunt Peggy, Uncle Tony..."
"stop!"
Tony pointed to his nose and said, "Call me brother!"
Then he changed hands to Pepper Potts and said: "Sister!"
Gwen blinked, first called Pepper Potts sister, then looked at Tony suspiciously, and then asked Mike with her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Tony's mouth twitched, feeling like he was hurt.
Seeing Mike nodding to herself, Gwen said politely: "Brother..."
Tony nodded calmly, but the corners of his mouth quickly raised.
This little girl has eyes!
"You guys hurry up and clear the card table for me."
"no problem!"
Tony nodded, turned to look at Pepper Potts, and said, "Leave it to you."
He sat on the sofa like an uncle.
"Do you want to eat hot pot together tonight?"
Mike asked again.
Tony nodded, Pepper Potts was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "That's troublesome."
Mike waved his hand and said, "No trouble, they stay for dinner every time they come. I'm used to it."
With that said, he walked into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
But Gwen was surrounded by Maria and Peggy Carter asking questions. It wasn't until Mike brought a plate of snacks for Gwen to deliver to Luke's house that she escaped from the enthusiastic hands of the two people.
