Chapter 177
After a hard-fought battle, Mike won a lot, and Peggy Carter and Maria gnashed their teeth.
In Tony's words, he didn't care about the tens of thousands of dollars he lost, but felt that the whole afternoon was such a waste of time.
But Pepper Potts on the side looked brightly.
Can you win so much money?
She took a peek at Tony and decided to take some time to study hard.
Mike looked at the time and said, "It's time, I have to pick up the child."
"Wait!" Peggy Carter said anxiously: "One more fight, I think I'm going to win!"
"Um?"
Suddenly, Peggy Carter looked at Mike with puzzled eyes and said, "Child?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Mike was startled and said, "I adopted a daughter some time ago."
"No!"
The three shook their heads in unison.
"Then wait for me to come back to introduce you."
Mike got up, pointed to Pepper Potts beside him, and said, "Let Pepper accompany you."
He had already seen Pepper Potts' moving eyes.
Pepper Potts hesitated.
She wanted to try, but this loss, her salary...
Tony glanced, waved his hand, and said, "If you lose, I will help you out!"
Pepper Potts sat down without hesitation and said, "Thank you boss!"
Looking at the four who started to shuffle the cards again, Mike got up and walked out.
School buses generally arrive at the station on time.
As Mike walked towards the station, a familiar car stopped beside him.

Turning to look, Gwen sticks his head out of the car window and smiles at Mike.
"dad!"
Mike smiled tenderly and looked at his good neighbor John.
John smiled at Mike and said, "I just happened to pick up Luke. Seeing that Gwen was waiting for the car, I picked it up together. Don't blame me?"
Mike nodded and said, "Thanks."
"dad!"
Gwen opened the car door, ran down with his bag, and hugged Mike.
Mike touched Gwen's head, held Gwen's schoolbag in his hand, and said to Luke, "I made some snacks yesterday, and Gwen will bring you some later."
Luke said nervously: "No, no need!"
"You're welcome!" Gwen turned her head and said, "It's delicious!"
John looked at the two with a smile and said, "Quickly say thank you."
Luke was a little embarrassed, but still smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Goodbye, Uncle John!" Gwen waved his hand generously and said, "I'll go back with Dad."
"Goodbye, Gwen."
John nodded to Mike and drove away.
The father and daughter were walking home, Gwen was like a homing bird, chatting to Mike about today's events.
Mike responded with a smile and said, "I bought you a mobile phone this morning. If you want to take the school bus by yourself, you have to take the mobile phone. If you encounter trouble, call me anytime."
"cell phone?"
Gwen looked at Mike in surprise.
Mike nodded and said, "It's just for communication, not for play."
"Well, I know!"
Gwen nodded lightly and suddenly said, "Dad, Luke and I will go to school together on the school bus from tomorrow, so you don't have to worry!"
"Luke?" Mike raised his eyebrows and suddenly said, "What do you think of Luke? Is he handsome?"
"Luke..." Gwen bit his finger and said, "So handsome! But he was ostracized by other classmates at school, and he would fight with others because of his mother."
"fight?"
Mike was a little surprised.
Because Luke is very similar to his father, the kind who seem to be gentle and have a good temper.
"Yeah!" Gwen nodded, but sighed like a little adult, and said, "His mother was put in prison, and many classmates laughed at him for this, and said bad things about his mother, saying that his mother was a murderer but Luke said his mother was wronged, so Luke would fight them."
Is that so?
Mike murmured, no wonder John was always melancholy and had a lot of thoughts on his mind.
"Then what do you think?"
"I don't know either!" Gwen sighed and said, "But Luke is a good man."
Mike smiled and asked, "Then will you alienate Luke because of your classmates, speak ill of Luke's family, and then stop being friends with Luke?"
"How is that possible!" Gwen said seriously: "Luke and I are friends! And Uncle John is also a good man!"
Touching Gwen's head, seeing Gwen looking at him with doubt and questioning eyes, Mike affirmed, "You did the right thing."
Gwen smiled happily.
"Let's go, there are still guests at home."
"guest?"
Gwen said in surprise and anticipation, "Is it my brother?"
Mike patted the head of the next question and said, "Why did my brother become a guest?"
"Yes!"
Gwen covered his mouth and smiled, shook his head, and dragged Mike forward.
When they got home, Peggy Carter and the others were still fighting fiercely.
However, looking at the expressions of a few people...
Peggy Carter wins?
As soon as the thought fell, Peggy Carter boasted to Mike: "Look, I said that spell worked! I won! Maria won too!"
spell...
Forget it, just be happy.
The four turned their heads, and their eyes fell on Gwen.
Mike introduced: "Gwen, my daughter!"
"Yeah! So cute!"
Maria gave Peggy Carter a win and then retreated, rushed over, and said, "I'm Maria."
Gwen hesitantly shouted, "Maria..."
"Call Auntie."
Mike hurriedly reminded.
"Aunt Maria."
Gwen smiled sweetly.
Maria was overjoyed and suddenly said, "I don't know if I will ever have the chance to be a grandma in my life."
Tony rested his forehead and came again.
Maria pointed to the others and Gwen greeted them.
"Aunt Peggy, Uncle Tony..."
"stop!"
Tony pointed to his nose and said, "Call me brother!"
Then he turned his hand to Pepper Potts and said, "Sister!"
Gwen blinked, and after calling Pepper Potts a sister, he looked at Tony suspiciously, and then asked Mike with his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Tony twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that he was hurt.
Seeing Mike nodding to himself, Gwen politely said, "Brother..."
Tony nodded calmly, but the corners of his mouth rose quickly.
This little girl has a wink!
"You guys quickly cleaned up the card table for me."
"no problem!"
Tony nodded, turned to look at Pepper Potts, and said, "I'll leave it to you."
He was sitting on the sofa like an uncle.
"Have hot pot tonight, do you want to come together?"
Mike asked again.
Tony nodded, Pepper Potts was stunned, and said a little embarrassedly: "That's troublesome."
Mike waved his hand and said, "No trouble, they will stay for dinner every time they come, I'm used to it."
With that said, he walked into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
However, Gwen was surrounded by Maria and Peggy Carter asking questions, and she didn't escape from the hands of the enthusiastic two until Mike brought a tray of snacks to Gwen to deliver to Luke's house.
