Chapter 62
After all his failed attempts, the father with a beard glared at the owner of the stall furiously. “Did you rig the game? I spent almost five hundred on your stall, yet I can’t even get a single plushie!”
“Sir, please mind your words.” The owner was unhappy to hear that. “Everyone saw this themselves. The three cylinders have no problems at all. What can I do to rig the game?”
“F*ck you–”
The short-tempered father was about to flip the table from the stall, but as soon as a hand pressed down on the same table, it immediately could not be moved.
Looking at his furious gaze, Jacob said coolly, “My daught– my little girl wants to have a go.”
Oops! I almost blurted out the truth!
The father tried to lift his arm, but it felt like lifting a heavy mountain. His pupils constricted in fear as his anger immediately abated.
He took a few steps backward involuntarily before roaring at the owner of the stall, “Give me back my change!”
After the owner did that, Jacob lifted his left palm from the table and gave him twenty bucks.
“Please give me four balls.”
The stall owner nodded and passed four balls over to him as he took the money away.
“I don’t believe you can get all of them in!” the father grumbled in annoyance.
Taking a ball in his hand, Jacob gave a casual throw. With a thud, the rubber ball bounced off.
Heidi straightened her back and clapped her hands seriously. “Go for it, Mr. Mooney!”
He turned around to look at her black pupils. Before he tried tossing the second ball, he gave her a gentle smile.
With a thud, the ball landed in the cylinder and bounced several times.
“Oh yeah! It’s in! You’re amazing, Mr. Mooney!” Heidi exclaimed excitedly.
“Tsk! He just got lucky!” The father’s eyes widened disdainfully.
However, his wife tugged on his arm. “Why are we still here? Let’s go! You lost five hundred bucks in a few minutes. It would be better to spend that money on clothes for me instead!”
“Stop jabbering away!” He glared at her. “Stay with me here! You’re not allowed to go anywhere else!”
A cold glint flashed in Jacob’s eyes as he looked at the father. With another flick of the wrist, the ball landed in the cylinder and stopped moving after bouncing several times.
“Yes! The second one got in as well!” Heidi clapped happily with a wide beam on her face.
“Hmph!” The father huffed angrily.
Jacob raised his hand again and threw the ball into the cylinder. It only bounced once before it went completely still.
“Congratulations!” The stall owner was shocked to see this, but he shot a slightly provocative look to the father just now.
Meanwhile, Jacob lowered his head to speak to Heidi lovingly. “Did you see anything you like? You can choose anything in the bottom row.”
After looking at the bottom row, Heidi shook her head. Her gaze traveled to the huge Dixy plushie at the top row again as she said, “I don’t like these. I want the big Dixy!”
“Alright, alright. We’ll get that later.”
He nodded with a smile. After some time, he looked at the stall owner. “Can you give me the monkey plushie, please?”
“Sure thing!” the owner replied decisively. In no time, a furry monkey landed in between Heidi’s arms.
Standing next to them, the little boy pursed his lips longingly at the monkey.
“Please give me three more balls.” He held Heidi in one of his arms while he took out another twenty bucks from his pockets.
“Sir, are you sure you want to stand ten meters away?” The owner’s eyes narrowed. “I’ve been here ever since the amusement park opened. Over these years, no one is able to take the big plushie home!”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
