The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 75

Gwyneth kept making faces, her expression full of cheeky defiance. Max, thoroughly ignored, burst into tears.

Marcus sighed in exasperation. "Max, you're a boy. Boys don't cry over video games."

But Gwyneth only doubled down, smirking. "Aw, come on. Only babies cry when they lose, Max."

Red-faced and even angrier after being called out, Max jabbed a finger at her. "You cheated! You're such a liar!"

The two kids went back and forth, their argument escalating into a full-blown squabble. Fortunately, the adults were so used to these antics that no one took it to heart.

Isaac grinned at Violet. "Impressive, Violet. I knew you drove for a living, but I didn't realize you'd be this good at games, too. Look at you-teaching Gwyneth so well she made Max cry."

Violet shrugged, her tone caught somewhere between modesty and pride. "We do a lot of simulation training before races. Honestly, these games are nothing compared to the real thing."

Marcus reached over and tapped Max lightly on the head. "Alright, that's enough. Any more tears and you'll embarrass yourself."
