Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1081 Mindful as a Pregnant Woman

Santiago and Zorion stood up almost at the same time.

Zorion did not think Raeleigh had any money with her. However, considering she was a student and somewhat of a blockhead, it wasn't weird if she really did not have money.

However, Raeleigh was obviously still worried about the money that she owed him. It was no wonder she had been in a stupor since morning.

Santiago immediately understood that Raeleigh owed the Atkinson family some money.

The two of them stood up at the same time, wanting to find some money. Zorion took out his wallet, but Santiago had already taken out some money and tossed it to Raeleigh. "Here, use mine." Santiago did not even bother to count the money.

Raeleigh froze for a moment. In the end, Zorion did not take out his money. No one cared, especially Deanna. From the start, Deanna had thought that Zorion was going to give her the money, so she took away Zorion's wallet without hesitation. Then, she dragged Zorion to sit beside her.

"Zorion, join us." Deanna wasn't very good at playing poker. She never won, and yet she still enjoyed playing it.

Raeleigh looked at the bulging wallet in front of her and raised her head to look at Santiago. "I have money myself."

"Just take it. You can keep the winnings while the losses would be on me." Santiago pulled a chair and sat beside Raeleigh. Raeleigh took a look at the wallet and gave it to Santiago. "Your money is given to you by your brother. It'll eventually be mine in the future."

Santiago raised an eyebrow. "How can you say that when you're not even married?"

"I'm your sister-in-law," Raeleigh said. Santiago snorted in response. Deanna was happy when she heard Raeleigh's words, thinking that Santiago would understand where he stood.

Scarlette, who was standing on one side, was quite unhappy. This was an unfair advantage. Everyone had a backer, except for her.

After a while, Scarlette walked over to Santiago's side and whispered to him. Santiago raised his eyebrows and said, "Fine."

Scarlette then quickly took a seat and waited. Santiago got up and went to search for Hadrian. When he finally found Hadrian, he waved at Hadrian, signaling for him to enter the house.

Hadrian took a seat next to Scarlette. He took out his wallet and handed it to her. Only then did a smile appear on Scarlette's face.

Raeleigh was speechless at how hypocritical Scarlette was. Scarlette had always said that Deanna was immature for her age, yet she was no different.

After that, Scarlette set out the rules and began shuffling the cards. Then, she placed the cards on the table and said, "Previously, the four of us played poker. This time, we'll play Fight the Landlord. It's a three-player game. The girls will play while the guys are allowed to help the girls. If the girl wins, then they get to keep the guys' money. What do you think?"

Raeleigh wanted to reject the idea because it was wishful thinking. However, before she could say anything, Deanna immediately replied, "Sounds good to me."

Raeleigh looked at Deanna and Scarlette. They then decided not to say anything.

Soon, they started playing the first round and Raeleigh lost.

Scarlette was very cautious after what happened the last time. She was mindful of Raeleigh that time.

However, Raeleigh was very lucky with her cards. Scarlette couldn't do anything, especially when the other opponent was Deanna. She could not stop herself from losing.

Scarlette glared at Deanna and said, "Can you please discard the right cards? If you aren't sure, then you can at least ask your brother."

"I did ask. He said it was fine." Deanna did not give Zorion a chance to speak at all. Zorion would point to a card and tell her what to play, but she would immediately push his hand away, claiming that she knew what cards to play.

It was as if they had a telepathic connection. She immediately knew what card she was meant to play. Zorion's face was plastered with a helpless smile.

Scarlette was getting irritated. She wanted to get up and strangle Deanna to death. She cursed inwardly.

It did not matter that Deanna was losing money, but she made her lose as well!

Scarlette snorted and glared at Raeleigh. She obviously knew how to play this game, yet she still wanted to ask Santiago for his opinion. All Santiago would do was to approve of her choices.

Scarlette was initially very happy. However, after playing for the entire afternoon, Raeleigh came out victorious. Scarlette was not convinced and wanted to continue playing. "No, I'm not satisfied. Let's continue playing."

Raeleigh looked at the pile of money in front of her.

"Do you still have money?"

Raeleigh then briefly cast a glance at Hadrian's wallet. It was bulging just then, but right then, it was flat.

Scarlette then took out Hadrian's bank card and placed it on the table. "We may have run out of cash but there's still money in the bank."

"Forget it. Let's continue tomorrow." Raeleigh did not want to play anymore. She had been sitting around the entire afternoon and had not done anything but to play poker.

"Then, why don't you return us your winnings?" Scarlettte reached out and asked Raeleigh for money.

Raeleigh hurriedly compiled her winnings and handed them over to Santiago. "If you lose, then you lose. It's not a bad thing. You've just exaggerated your own abilities. If you went into the casino and lost all your money, then are you going to ask them back? We all enjoyed this casual gambling session. Look at you now. You're like a sore loser. You're even willing to gamble away your dowry? What happens if you lose them all?"

Scarlette waved a dismissive hand. "I'm not going to marry."

"What about Hadrian's wife?" Raeleigh looked at Hadrian. He said, "It's fine if I don't marry." The main thing then was how he was going to get back his money.

Anyone who lost money would want to win it back.

Raeleigh felt that she was partly responsible for making Hadrian lose all his money.

"Zorion, did I lose your dowry as well?" Deanna turned to look at Zorion. He laughed and said, "My wife is extremely wealthy. The amount you lost is just a drop in a bucket." "That's good," Deanna said with a smile.

Zorion looked over at Raeleigh's side. It was getting dark and they were going to have dinner soon. However, no one said anything about leaving. They were all waiting for Raeleigh to return them their money. Raeleigh was quite angry. It was not that she did not want to return the money. It was just that they had already lost the money. How could they ask her back for it? It was a little unfair.

"How long are you guys planning to play for?" Raeleigh asked helplessly.

Deanna met Scarlette's eyes before suggesting, "Eight o'clock."

"I am fine with eight o'clock." Deanna immediately agreed.

Just as Scarlette was about to shuffle the cards, she immediately held Deanna's hand and said, "Let's allow the guys to play. We have to be fair. We can't just make them sit and watch us play." While Scarlette spoke, she gently nudged Deanna's leg underneath the table. Deanna immediately smiled and said, "Alright."

After saying that, Deanna stood up and made room for Zorion.

Raeleigh was also tired and did not want to sit any longer. So, she stood up.

"You guys can go ahead and play. I'm tired."

Raeleigh was pregnant. Even if Raeleigh did not want to leave her seat, Santiago would still remind her to get up and take a walk.

"Alright then. Go and take a walk."

Santiago moved to Raeleigh's seat and began shuffling the cards. The three guys began to play cards, but Raeleigh did not sit down. She was pregnant and had to be mindful of her own well-being.
