When Ryan returns to the hotel café, Eunice and Adair are having fun. The two of them are holding the
funnels of iced coffee on the table. Seeing him enter, Adair even picks up the coffee cup in front of him
and hands it to Ryan, saying, "Uncle Ryan, this is the coffee I made for you."
Ryan relaxes slightly and takes a sip. "Not bad."
'Adair is a grown-up now, and he knows to care about me. I'm so moved!' Ryan talks to himself.
"Miss Abby is gone?" Eunice asked.
"Yes."
"Uncle, where are we going for fun later?" Adair hasn't seen Ryan for a long time, but he still finds
Ryan familiar and amiable. He's happy just thinking about spending some time with his uncle.
"Where do you want to go?"
Adair rolls his eyes and says excitedly, "I want to go to the arcade! I want to play basketball and race
cars!"
Before, Lily had always been unwilling to take him to those places, so naturally, Ryan would also refuse
the child's request. However, seeing that Adair is laughing so happily, Ryan can't bear to disappoint
him. He nods and agrees, "Alright, I'll take you there, but you have to be obedient. Don't run away."
"I will! I will! I will!" Adair says 'I will' several times. He even stops eating the cupcake and immediately
pulls Ryan out to go, saying, "Let's go~"
When they get to the door, Adair does not forget to bring Eunice along. He said, "Beautiful Auntie, you
should go with us!"
No one will dislike such a cute child, and Eunice is no exception. She says, "Alright, I'll go with you."
...
They set off from the hotel and go straight to a nearby arcade. As soon as they reach the door, they
hear chaotic noises coming from inside. Eunice has not been to such a place for a long time and is not
used to the noises, so she covers her ears.
Ryan, in his white shirt and black trousers, stands among a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old children.
He stands out from the rest of the crowd and is especially out of place.
The "old" man walks to the counter. The two snoozing cashiers quickly stand up from their chairs and
ask impatiently, "How much do you want?"
Ryan takes out 500 yuan from his wallet and places it on the counter. "This much."
His clear voice came through the noises. The cashier girl is shocked. She raises her head and meets a
pair of deep eyes. After seeing the handsome face clearly, she blushes even more embarrassedly. Her
voice softens as she says, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Not long after, she takes out five transparent bags, each containing a hundred game coins. "This is
your game currency, sir."
Ryan takes the bags over, and doesn't land his gaze on the cashier girl even once. With a cold "thank
you", he directly walks towards Eunice and Adair, who are not far away.
The cashier girl sighs regretfully, "It turns out that he already has a wife and a child."
Eunice watches as Ryan hands Adair a bag of coins. For some reason, she is amused by the scene.
She quietly turns up the corners of her lips, but she doesn't expect that Ryan happens to see her smile.
"Why are you laughing?" The man's voice sounds a little unhappy.
Eunice quickly purses her lips and says, "I'm not laughing."
She wants to laugh but does not have the guts to laugh. The corners of her mouth tremble a few times.
Ryan's expression is a little ugly. He angrily stuffs the remaining bags of game coins into her hand.
"Take them!"
Eunice can't help but laugh again as she watches the man walk forward quickly. This is the first time
she has seen Ryan so awkward. It turns out that he can also be embarrassed.
In the messy arcade. Ryan is not interested in the games, nor is he relaxed enough to enjoy himself.
Eunice, on the other hand, has been with Adair carefully and patiently all the time. They walk to the
basketball shooting machine. Adair is just about 50 centimeters taller than the table. Eunice put three
game coins into the machine and the partition that blocks the basketballs quickly rises.
The round basketballs fall to their hands one by one. They pick them up and throw them forward
without interruption. Unfortunately, they are not quite there today. Most of the basketballs fall out, and
they barely hit any shots.
Adair doesn't get enough of the game, so he reopens two innings. The number of shots is not
satisfactory, and Eunice breaks out into a lot of sweat.
Ryan, who has been watching from the side, comments coldly, "Terrible players."
Adair and Eunice are both speechless.
They look at the sarcastic person at the same time and notice that Ryan is extremely indifferent. He
doesn't seem to care about the game at all.
Eunice doesn't have the guts to say anything, but Adair is much bolder. He raises his small face and
defiantly makes a challenge to Ryan, "Hey, Uncle Ryan, you should also give it a try. Perhaps you'll
perform worse than me and Auntie Eunice!"
'Well said!'
Eunice silently give Adair a shout-out.
She thinks that Ryan will not respond to Adair's words, but unexpectedly, Ryan directly walks over and
squints at the basketballs. "What if I win?"
"Then I'll say yes to one of your requests!"
"Alright, it's a deal." Ryan turns to Eunice and spreads out his palm.
"What?"
"Game coins."
He's really going to play the game?
Eunice takes out three game coins from the bag and tosses them into the machine. With a 'crash', the
partition releases and the basketballs roll down again.
Ryan quickly picks up one basketball. With one hand supporting the ball and the other touching the
sphere, he raises it slightly. Then, he tosses it with dexterity, and the ball flies straight forward. It is as if
Ryan has calculated the distance. The ball lands steadily in the basketball frame in a parabolic shape.
A beautiful hollow ball.
But what if it is a coincidence?
Just as this thought flashes through her mind, Eunice sees another accurate shot. She looks at the
rising scores on one side of the screen. The game time hasn't even exceeded half, but Ryan has
already defeated her.
He is more than six feet tall and is rather strong. The way he throws the basketball forward is really
eye-catching. Moreover, he's got his own charisma, and his facial features are strongly marked. Not
long after, people begin to watch from the side of the game console.
Two minutes later, the game ends. Adair can't help but applaud Ryan, saying, "Uncle, you're just
awesome!"
It is clearly just a game, but Eunice feels that Ryan is exceptionally handsome just now. He is even
more handsome than when he is holding a gun or holding a document...
Ryan bends down to touch Adair's head gently and says, "Don't forget what you promised me. I'll tell
you my request when I've thought about it."
Adair finally remembers his promise just now. Although he is a little reluctant, he still keeps his promise.
He says, "No problem~"
Ryan withdraws his hand satisfactorily. He stands up and wants to take Adair play other games.
However, he suddenly sees Eunice staring at him for a moment. He raises his eyebrows slightly and
takes a step closer to her. He moves his thin lips and calls her name, "Eunice?"
Hearing someone call her, Eunice regains her senses and blinks, "What?"
Seeing her distracted, Ryan frowns and says to her, "What were you thinking? Let's go."
"...OK."
Eunice, with the bags full of game coins in hand, silently walks behind Adair and Ryan like a
housekeeper. Thinking of what she did just now, she cannot help but knock on her forehead with regret
with the bag containing the coins.
'Eunice, what were you thinking? It's just basketball. Why were you so nervous? Why were you
tempted?' she thinks to herself.
