Bring Your A Game, Mr
Chapter 974

Chapter 974

This was already a big step for Paul.

After all, it would be too tough for him to grow mature overnight. He required more time.

After Paul left, both Jamie and Narissa felt helpless with the situation. It was originally a happy occasion for them, but the ambiance seemed awkward now.

Just like everyone else, they too wished to have everyone's blessing on their special day.

Fortunately, Elise and her family came and joined the fun so that the couple wouldn't leave any regrets on such an important day.

"Congratulations! Things have finally turned out well for you two!" Elise brought her two kids downstairs to congratulate Jamie and Narissa. "We have to celebrate such a joyous event! Have you made a reservation, Jamie? You have to treat me to a great meal today!" Jamie's earlier gloomy expression was replaced with a smile when he heard Elise's words. "Don't worry, Boss. It's my treat, but I am afraid that we can't have the meal today," he said, scratching the back of his head shyly.

"Why?" Elise sounded perplexed.

"We have already agreed among ourselves that we will deal with Gale first. Only after that, we will host our engagement party and invite all our families and friends," Narissa answered on behalf of Jamie, as if she were the head of their small family, not forgetting to take a few glances at the man while speaking.

Elise felt happy for them both as she observed how in love they appeared to be. "I see. No matter what, at least the misunderstanding surrounding you both has cleared. Things will only get better from now on!"

"Gale is a b*stard for plotting so many things in the dark, causing us to nearly let go of each other. How I wish I could send him to jail right now!" After sorting out the specifics of what had transpired with Narissa on their way here, Jamie's resentment at Gale had grown. "Really? I thought what you wish is to get a wife right now!" Elise joked.

Jamie and Narissa immediately felt shy when they heard that. Both of them let out an awkward smile while looking at each other and felt embarrassed to stay any longer.

"See you at the engagement party, then. We're leaving now."

Narissa then turned and headed outdoors with Jamie trailing behind.

At this point, Alexia let go of Elise's palm. Racing over to Jamie, she hugged his thigh.

"What is it, Lexi?" Jamie bent down and caressed her head.

"Godfather, this is for you!" Alexia raised her right hand and stuffed a clear plastic bottle into Jamie's palm.

Jamie looked at the bottle, not knowing what it was. "And this is?"

Alexia tip-toed to hug Jamie's head and went closer to his ear, saying secretively, "This is my gift to you for your marriage. After having it, you will have a little girl soon!"

"Huh?" Jamie cried out awkwardly, feeling stumped.

Is she giving me that thing?

"What happened?" Narissa heard his cry and turned back.

Worrying that the bottle would be discovered, Jamie quickly slipped it into his pocket before he turned around and pushed Narissa out the door. "Nothing. Lexi is just congratulating us. Let's go."

"Goodbye, Godfather and Godmother!" Alexia jumped and waved to them excitedly as if anticipating a little girl to appear soon.

What she had done didn't escape Irvin's eyes. He went over to her and asked softly, "Alexia, what did you give to Godfather just now?"

"The bottle from your shelf that was labeled as being helpful to sleep! Didn't you say the first night following a wedding will be exhausting? Thus, I gave that to Godfather so that he could have a good rest and then give me a little sister!"

Alexia's reasoning was simple-it was that one needed to be energetic to do anything. As such, Jamie and Narissa should rest well to be able to give Alexia a little sister.

Irvin was speechless when he heard that.

"Irvin, do you think we will have a little sister soon?" Alexia asked, her eyes filled with excitement.

Irvin merely raised his hand and gave her a heartfelt pat on the shoulder. "I don't know if we'll get a sister any time soon, but I'm sure nothing will happen tonight."

The liquid he concocted was concentrated and its effect was ten times stronger than the typical sleep aids. One drop of it would enable the person to sleep for the entire day. If Jamie truly took the whole bottle, he would spend at least three whole days in deep sleep. Irvin truly felt sorry for Jamie at this moment.

Elise, on the other hand, felt isolated when she noticed the kids whispering to one another. She leaned into Alexander's embrace and asked, "What do you think our son and daughter are talking about?" Alexander wrapped his hand around her waist and muttered, "It doesn't look like something good."

"The kids are becoming older and now have their own secrets. The distance between us and them will only increase in the future," Elise said sentimentally suddenly.

"We will be able to fix this problem if we have more kids," Alexander said, not forgetting what he had wanted all along.

Elise hummed in agreement and she nodded instinctively. The next moment, she suddenly understood what he meant and refuted, "No! What are you saying? I haven't agreed to have more children yet!"

But he ignored her and immediately carried her in his arms and headed upstairs. "You've agreed; I heard it just now. It's too late to turn back on your words now."

"The sky isn't even dark yet, Alexander! Don't be a rascal!" She tried to resist.

Alexander, however, was unmoved. "It will be dark soon," he said.

Hearing that, Elise gave up struggling and dared not say anything further.

Both of their figures then disappeared up the staircase on the second floor.

Alexia thought that both Alexander and Elise were playing around. So, she quickly ran to them while shouting, "Daddy, Mommy, I want to play too!"

Irvin quickly chased after her and carried her to the garden, a hopeless expression on his face.

This family will be a mess if I'm not around!

...

After expressing their affection for one another, Jamie and Narissa were now officially a couple.

Earlier, they grabbed a meal after leaving the Griffith Residence before returning to Jamie's house.

It was just the two of them. The moment they entered the house and put down their helmets, Jamie hoisted Narissa to sit on the top of the cabinet.

Within minutes, both of them were breathing heavily.

"Every moment is precious. Let's get into the room."

Narissa obediently nodded at first, but she soon began shaking her head vigorously.

Then, she squinted her eyes and grabbed Jamie's collar as she asked in an interrogating tone, "Come clean with me. Have you dated a lot of women in the past?"

"Of course not! I have always maintained my chastity." Jamie then held up three fingers and continued, "I swear you are my first woman."

"Then why..." Narissa found it embarrassing to say it out as she continued shyly, "Why do you seem like you are so familiar and skilled in this?"

Jamie broke into laughter when he heard that. "Somehow, I became skilled after I met you."

Though his words were corny, they worked.

Narissa subconsciously raised the corners of her mouth in approval of his response.
