Chapter 875
Ethan Roscente arched an eyebrow. "The rules never said cheating wasn't allowed. Winning is what matters. Feel free to try it yourself."
Vivian Laurent's cheeks puffed in frustration. "Just you wait!"
She looked like an angry kitten with her round eyes wide and furious.
The sight softened Ethan's heart.
He adored Vivian's fiery, spirited expressions.
"I'll be waiting."
No matter what, he'd always be there for her. Whenever she turned around, he'd remain steadfast.
Vivian's competitive spirit ignited.
As a multi-talented genius, how could she lose to Ethan? Was pregnancy really dulling her intellect?
A new round began.
They traded wins and losses until most of their game tokens remained unused.
Ethan pointed to a corner. "Want to try the claw machine?"
Couples crowded around it, but no one succeeded. The machine was clearly rigged.
Vivian's eyes sparkled. "Whoever grabs the most wins?"
Ethan sighed.
Even a romantic activity became a competition in her mind.
"No competing this time."
"Giving up already?"
"I just want you to win me a souvenir." His voice softened. "You've never given me a gift."
Vivian paused. It was true—she'd never given him anything.
Consider it a farewell present.
"Fine. Which one?"
Ethan scanned the options and pointed to a sparrow plushie tucked deep inside.
"This?" Vivian blinked. "Didn't take you for the cute type."
The round, fluffy sparrow sat in the most awkward position.
"Mm. Reminds me of you."
Vivian's ears warmed. "Watch me."
She focused on maneuvering the claw.
The sparrow's placement made it nearly impossible. After several failed attempts, she snagged other plushies instead.
A group of children gathered around.
"Wow, you're amazing, miss!"
"Can you get that bear for me?"
Their admiration filled Vivian with pride.
Since Ethan only wanted the sparrow, she handed out the extras to the kids.
Soon, she was surrounded by tiny fans.
"Which one do you want? I'll get it for you."
The children eagerly pointed at their favorites.
Vivian patiently taught them how to operate the machine, even letting them try themselves.
Their tokens dwindled fast.
She winked at Ethan. "Time for a refill, Mr. Roscente."
