Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 846-Two seconds later, Narissa shoved Jamie away to turn her head to face Jayden. “Do you know how I feel now?” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Y-You guys…” Jayden’s mouth gaped in surprise. With fire blazing in his eyes, he swung a punch at Jamie without a prelude.

Jamie failed to respond in time as his head swayed sideways and he covered his cheek out of instinct. “F*ck!”

When he turned to look at Jayden, the man already threw the roses away and left. The sight of his swollen cheek pricked Narissa’s guilty conscience. However, she decided to take the upper hand of the situation by preempting him. “Haven’t you always liked to be the peacemaker? This is the price you gotta pay to be that.”

She wheeled around and left cooly, leaving the man huffing and puffing. He spread his arms while muttering, “Why? Why?”

She stole my first kiss for a buckler, and why do I have to take the punch for no reason? How is this logical?!

…

The doorbell resounded not long after Elise arrived home. After opening the door, she saw Narissa holding a bag of wine bottles outside.

“Mind drinking with me?” Narissa could not put a finger on the reason behind the urge to confide in Elise. She knew that her limbs drove the car all the way here on their own accord and she gladly entered the house.

Elise welcomed the guest and a wine party began in the living room on the first floor. Narissa drank for a while until Elise inquired, “Is something on your mind?”

Narissa polished off the remaining wine before slamming the wine bottle onto the table. It took her a while to lift her head. “I don’t know how to put it, but I think I’ve fallen for someone who doesn’t like me.”

Smiling in acknowledgement, Elise soon collected herself and spoke softly, “Does that person know about it?”

“I’m not sure.” Narissa opened another bottle of wine with fumble hands and downed half of it.

“Let me see. So, you like someone, but you don’t feel happy about him not catching it. You’re feeling troubled instead. Hiding your feelings is obviously not your way. Why don’t you confess?” Elise guided Narissa slowly.

“He’s a cheeky brat. If I confess, he’ll laugh at me for sure!” Narissa’s cheeks puffed up in vex.

“If he laughs at you when you’re serious about something, then you can assume that he’s immature. Trust me, liking someone isn’t something embarrassing.” Elise patted the back of Narissa’s hand in comfort.

Narissa looked at her dubiously like a lost child in a maze. “But I’m a girl. If I confess to him, doesn’t that mean I have to be the one to make advances? That’s embarrassing.”

“Why do you think that way?” Elise chuckled. “Who says that boys have to be the one who confesses? Are there rules for one to fall in love? Think about it. You’ve come this far by doing everything that your heart tells you to do. Isn’t that cool? Isn’t it painful to hesitate your decisions now?”

Narissa heaved a deep sigh. “I’m just worried that we can’t stay friends after my confession fails.”

Elise corrected her sitting posture in silence while thinking, She’s bringing it up lightly, but it seems like she likes Jamie more than I thought.

The fear of losing someone was one of the signs of loving someone. Instead of just liking someone, she was considering the possible outcomes of all the bad things that could happen.

“Why are you keeping quiet?” Narissa’s eyelids flickered flusteredly. “Do you think the same too?”

“Hmm… That is not entirely impossible.” Elise tried her best to be neutral. “But there’s a possibility for anything to happen. If you confess, you might regret it, but you might not regret it too. However, if you don’t, you’ll regret it someday for sure.”

Narissa fell into rumination for a while. Clearing her throat, she moved to Elise’s side to question meekly, “Then, Elise, how high is my chance if I pursue Jamie?”

Now that Elise’s speculation hardened into a conclusion, she smiled without uttering a word. Narissa blushed instantly as she swayed Elise’s arm. “Stop smiling. Tell me, tell me. If you keep this act up, I’m not going to tell you anything from today onwards—”

As soon as she said that, Alexia barged into the living room and pivoted in circles in front of them. “Oh yay! Godmother is in love with Godfather! I’m gonna have a little brother soon!”

“Lexi!” The red on Narissa’s face perfused her neck. “Cut it out!”

“Not a chance. I’m gonna say it out loud! Godmother, when are you going to give birth to a little brother for me with Godfather?” Alexia questioned seriously.

Embarrassed, Narissa was all flushing red as she glanced at Elise, who watched the scene silently. Next, Narissa rose to her feet and chased the little fellow. “There’s no little brother! What are you talking about? You heard it wrong!”

“No, I didn’t! You and Godfather are going to give me a little brother!” Alexia’s mouth ran on as her legs did not stop running.

“Lexi! Listen to me!”

“I will! Only if you give birth to a little brother for me!”

As the little feud stirred, Elise and Narissa’s talk had to come to a stop. It continued until late night, so Narissa crashed at their place for the night.

…

The next morning, Narissa got up from bed with messy hair after which she went downstairs while yawning with closed eyes. Once she descended the final flight of stairs, she opened her eyes to see Jamie sitting on the couch.

Mistaking it as a dream, she blinked her eyes numerous times. It was not until she noticed his expression remained awkward that she realized that it was the reality. Hurriedly, she primped her hair and behaved like a cool girl.

“Jamie Keller, are you my shadow? Why do you keep showing up everywhere I go?” She picked on him on purpose.

He raised his eyebrow. “I think I should be the one saying that, though. I’m here to have a serious talk with Elise. Why are you here?”

The sudden verbal battle could be deemed as their silent agreement to avoid the topic of the kiss they shared last night.

“What does that have to do with you?” She turned her head sideways.

“Save it, then. I’m not curious in the slightest either.” He rolled his eyes.

At that moment, Alexia descended the stairs in excitement while shouting, “Godfather! Godfather! Let me tell you a secret!”

A cold air shrouded Narissa when she heard that. Before she could think of anything, her eyes widened as she sprinted toward Alexia to carry her away before the little girl threw herself into Jamie’s arms.

In spite of being controlled, Alexia could not zip her mouth. “Godfather, she—”

“What’s wrong?”

“Hmm!”

Narissa managed to cover Alexia’s mouth before she could say anything to Jamie.

“Narissa, enough. Isn’t it enough that you’re always fierce at me? Can’t you be gentle to our princess?” He was helpless.

“Gentle? Never heard of that.” Narissa flicked her hair. “Oh, I promised to bring the kids out. You guys are going to have a serious talk, right? Enjoy the peace at home.”

“Irvin! Hurry! We’re going to the amusement park!”

These siblings could never be parted; they had to go anywhere in pairs.
