The Bound Between Us

Chapter 354

If she wanted to win over Granny Anita, she had to play to her passions.

Anastasia learned from Flynn that Granny Anita loved playing poker, so once she finished her duties, she hurried over to Velvet Lounge to join Granny Anita in a game.

When Anastasia arrived at the card room, Granny Anita instantly realized Flynn’s scheme. She shot Flynn a stern look and grumbled, “Traitor.” With that, Granny Anita stood up to leave.

Flynn quickly tried to placate her, “Granny, Granny Terrill and Granny Susano are here too. Are you really going to stand them up, not play a few rounds?” Despite Granny Anita’s coldness, Anastasia didn’t take it to heart and greeted her with a warm smile, “Hello, Granny Terrill, Granny Susano.”

“Isn’t that Herman’s wife?” Granny Terrill, who had seen the anniversary livestream, recognized Anastasia and said with a smile, “She’s even more beautiful in person.”

Granny Susano also chimed in with a compliment, “She has a beautiful face, a face that brings fortune to her husband and child. Anita, you’ve found yourself a wonderful granddaughter-in-law.”

Hearing her friends praise Anastasia, Granny Anita was not pleased. Instead of joining in the praise, she said, “I’ll call someone else to join us for poker.” Granny Susano replied, “Your granddaughter-in-law is right here, isn’t she? Anastasia, can you play poker?”

“Yes.” Anastasia replied with a smile, “I’ll join you for a few rounds.”

Granny Anita stubbornly protested, “I won’t play poker with her.”

The two old ladies exchanged surprised glances, wondering what was the matter.

Flynn tried to smooth things over with a laugh, “Granny, it’s almost noon. If we don’t start playing soon, it’ll be lunchtime. What a waste.”

Anastasia decided to use a bit of reverse psychology, “What, Granny, are you afraid of losing to me? You’re my elder. I’ll definitely let you win the first three rounds.”

Granny Anita, known as the “Poker Goddess” in her hometown, could not stand such a challenge.

“I think you’re the one who’s afraid. I’ve been playing poker for decades, and you, a young girl, think you can beat me. I’ll see how much you’re really worth today.” Grannie Anita said.

“Then let’s sit down and get started.” Anastasia smiled, “Remember, I’ll let you win the first three rounds.”

Granny Anita huffed and sat down. The game was on.
