NovelApplulas swallowed as he noticed the dark circles around Carson’s eyes. He took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Scott, what happened
last night?”
“I don’t want to talk about it. I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night.”
After saying that, Carson let out a loud yawn.
“Victor and my father want to invest in the Gordon family’s project, so I was forced to put out a plan.” He pulled an all-nighter in
front of the computer.
Despite being completely exhausted, he didn’t stop until the sun was almost up. When he was done, he sent the plan to his
father via email.
“Since you’ve already finished, why don’t you go hand rest?” Lukas was clearly an amateur when it cto investing. He
instructed the servant to bring him an ice pack after seeing Carson’s dark circles.
“It’s too noisy at home,” Carson said as he waved his hand and strode to the living room. Lukas followed behind him with a
confused look.
Carson lay down and made himself comfortable on the sofa, clutching a pillow in one hand. He then stared at him with half-
opened eyes and complained, “Lukas, it’s peaceful here. Now I understand why Vic insisted on leaving. Having a woman at
his pretty bothersome.”
The servant cand handed the ice pack to Lukas.
Carson nodded and closed his eyes, and soon, he felt the chill along his eyelids. He was already stressed, but he couldn’t get a
good night’s sleep unless he finished grumbling.
“There are two women at home!” he continued, raising two fingers.
“Mr. Scott, what’s going on?” Lukas was surprised by his remark. If Carson’s mother heard that, she would definitely pinch and
pull his ears upward.
“I’ve never seen my mom and grandmother getting along so well!” Carson becincreasingly excited as he spoke.
“They are always at each other’s throats when talking about things. But this ton the wife stuff, they were on the spage.
As soon as I walked out of the study, the two of them gavea dozen of photos, saying that I can choose from them.”
Carson specially made a gesture of how thick the photos were in order to make the description more precise. And for whatever
reason, the two ladies were particularly keen about his blind dates recently.
Lukas could only smile at him.
Carson groaned and closed his eyes as he placed the ice pack back on his face. Now that he was done complaining, he felt
drowsy. But before he could fall asleep, he heard Lukas say something.
“Joey.” Lukas turned around when he heard snoise on the stairs and saw Joey coming out of his room. Not long after
Rachel had left, the little boy went to his room to sleep.
Perhaps he heard someone and thought it was Rachel, so he rushed downstairs to greet her, but it turned out that it wasn’t the
person he was expecting. It was an uninvited visitor instead.
Carson instantly sat up when he heard the name. The ice pack fell straight to the floor.
As soon as Joey saw Carson, he frowned and said, “Hey, why are you here?”
“Aren’t you happy to see me?” Joey pursed his lips and crossed his arms.
“Yeah. I am happy.”
“You don’t look happy at all.”
Carson raised a brow. Joey cleared his throat and smiled appropriately, but with a phony grin.
“Why would you think so? Of course I’m happy to see you here. But what’s wrong with your eyes? Did you get punched? Have
you seen a doctor yet?”
The corners of Carson’s mouth twitched as he touched his eyes. “How observant, but these dark circles are proof of my hard
work.”
“Well...” Joey shrugged.
“Sorry. I thought you got smacked.” Carson was rendered speechless. .
“Good night and rest well then. I’m going back upstairs,” Joey uttered while blinking his eyes. He turned around and was about
to leave, but Carson stopped him.
“Wait a minute.”
“Huh?” Joey cto a halt and turned to face him with a confused look. Carson took out his phone with a huge grin, opened the
ginterface, and said, “I’ve managed to advance my gaming experience in the past few days.”
Since he kept losing to Joey the last time, Carson had been practicing diligently. Now that he was here, he was even more eager
to win.
How could he lose to a little kid? He had to settle the score with him this tno matter what!
Carson had entirely forgotten about his sleep now. The only thing that was running on his mind right now was to win.
“I won’t...” Joey opened his mouth to speak, but before he could finish, a thought crossed his mind. His eyes immediately lit up
and he said, “You want to play with me, right? But you have to exchange something for it.”
