Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 766Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 766-With a frown on the desperate expression on her face, Adelpha
helplessly watched as Lyra swallowed the two large pieces of apricot almond cake.
Oh, Momma! Why are you such a glutton?! she quietly cried.
“My dear sister.” Elise shook the apricot almond cake in her hand, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly
as they glinted brightly. “Would you like to try it too?”
“No, no! No need for that,” Adelpha blurted out as she waved her hands aggressively. Every inch of her
body was outwardly rejecting the offer. “I-I have tried it in the cafe. I am so full that I can’t take another
bite now!”
“Is that so…” Elise lowered her eyes in disappointment, but a smile remained plastered on her face the
whole time. When she turned around, she looked at Lyra with a kind expression. “Since Adelpha
doesn’t want to eat it and I have suddenly lost my appetite, please finish the pastries for me, Aunt
Lyra.”
novelbinLyra froze for a second when she heard that. Is this really happening? she wondered before she
started coughing when she nearly choked.
Her cough gradually calmed as she hit herself on the chest a few times. Pretending to be as calm as an
elderly would, she uttered, “If that is the case, I have no choice but to accept it.”
“Mhm, I am sorry for troubling you!” Elise kept smiling while she replied.
Now that her taste buds were satisfied, Lyra then returned to the kitchen with the cakes in her hand
with light steps.
As Adelpha worried that her mother would finish all the cake, she quietly went around Elise’s back to
give Lyra a warning without Elise knowing.She was only halfway there when Elise suddenly stood up, coincidentally standing face to face with
her.
The smile Elise had on earlier had completely disappeared by then. “Don’t slack off, Adelpha. It will be
tomorrow in a few more hours. I feel like having plum pudding tomorrow. You can go prepare to make it
now.”
Adelpha instantly felt her throat constrict when she heard that. “Are you asking me to make it myself?”
“You won’t do it?” Elise put on a sad expression.
“It is not that I don’t want to, it is just that—”
“That will do.” Elise didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence. “Learning is a lifelong journey,
Adelpha. I know that you can do it. Cheer up!”
Without waiting for her to refuse, Elise proceeded to walk upstairs.
Adelpha could only keep mum at that as she had no other choice. When she remembered the box of
cakes again after a while, she hurried into the kitchen to snatch away what Lyra had not finished
eating, and threw it all away.
“My daughter! Why did you throw it away? It is so delicious!” Lyra couldn’t help feeling like it was a
waste.
“Momma!” Adelpha lowered her voice as she angrily stomped her foot. “I drugged the cakes! Why did
you eat it?!”
“What?!” Lyra had only thought it was a normal pain that she was feeling in her abdomen at first, but
after listening to Adelpha’s words, her stomach immediately started cramping painfully. “Why didn’t you
say so just now?!” she groaned while pressing her stomach.As she spoke, she felt an abrupt force trying to break out of her body. She quickly started to run out of
the kitchen with her legs pressed together, all the while releasing foul gas.
Disgusted, Adelpha, too, quickly fled the scene with her hand over her nose.
When the next morning came, Onyx entered the house with his luggage, only to be greeted by the sight
of a pale Adelpha lying on the sofa.
“Ahem!”
He pulled a face and forced a cough to wake her up.
She eventually woke up, her body shaking. She thought that it was a dream when she opened her eyes
and saw Onyx, so she rubbed her eyes to confirm that it wasn’t a dream. After confirming that it was
her beloved father, she immediately stood up and ran over to hug him.
“Poppa, you are finally home! I have missed you so much, Poppa!” Adelpha began to sob as she
spoke.
Onyx’s attitude instantly softened then. As he pulled her away, he wiped the tears from her cheeks
fondly and complained, “You are too old to be sobbing like a baby! Wasn’t I only on a business trip for a
week? Why do you already miss me so much? How are you going to live a married life in the future?!”
“I don’t want to get married. I want to be your precious daughter for the rest of my life!” Adelpha took
his arm and leaned against him as she acted like a spoiled child.
Elise happened to see them when she walked to the middle of the stairs. Indifference and ridicule
appeared in her eyes at that very moment.
He didn’t even ask about his own daughter who had died at sea despite how much she had suffered,
but here he was, doting on someone else’s daughters. Elise could only imagine how sad Anastasiawould be if she was watching this unfold.
After all, Elise and Anastasia shared one similarity—they were both deprived of their fathers’ love. Even
though everything was resolved after Austin left, Elise could still relate to and feel the pain in
Anastasia’s heart.
Onyx soon noticed Elise standing there.
Before he came home, Lyra and Adelpha had reported to him everything that had happened at home
these two days. Of course, they made it a point to exaggerate every detail.
Onyx, who was a loving father up till a moment ago, took a look at Elise and his face fell immediately.
“Look at how haggard your little sister looks. You have done one hell of a job, huh?”
“By helping them exercise their body? I sure did, didn’t I? You don’t have to rush to compliment me,”
Elise said lightly.
“Compliment you? I would have beaten you to death if I wasn’t holding back for your mother’s sake!”
Enraged, Onyx flared his nostrils and raised his graying eyebrows. “We haven’t heard a peep from you
when you went missing for half a year. Now you are back, only to be treating your stepmother and
stepsister with disrespect. You sure have become impudent!”
“Why are you getting mad so early in the morning? They did it all voluntarily. You can ask them if you
don’t believe me,” Elise remarked while walking down the stairs.
Hearing that, Onyx turned to look at Adelpha beside him.”What exactly is going on?”
Adelpha bit her lip and lowered her head before she deliberately grabbed Onyx’s clothes and hid
behind him. Her light sobs turned into loud wails at this point. “Anastasia was the one who forced us
into it! She beats up anyone who doesn’t do as she says. Our servants can testify!”Onyx immediately blew his top and boomed at Elise, “You better kneel down!”
Elise only rolled her eyes as she walked to the sofa and sat down. She proceeded to calmly pour a cup
of tea, which she then held in her hand. “I don’t mind kneeling before my parents, but you have already
cut off our father-daughter relationship. You don’t deserve to see me on my knees. “
Onyx was so angry he went mute at that. He didn’t expect that Anastasia, who had always been
submissive, would suddenly become such an unreasonable person.
He only came back to his senses after a long time, and when he did, he put out his trump card by
rushing over to point in the direction of the door. “Since you are not my daughter, get out of this house
and never come back!”
Elise continued to unhurriedly blow at her hot beverage before she eventually raised her head to cast
an indifferent gaze at him. “Sure, I can leave. I will also go to Grandpa’s birthday banquet in a few days
by myself to save you the trouble.”
After she said that, she stood up holding the teacup as she got ready to go upstairs to pack up.
“Hold on!” Onyx stopped her. He then made concessions, albeit reluctantly. “As an elder, I shouldn’t be
so calculative with you. Just stay at home for now since you know where your fault lies.”
Onyx would be big trouble if news of this incident were to reach the ears of Anastasia’s grandfather.
“Poppa!” Upset with the decision, Adelpha shook his arm as she asked him to be just.
“Stop this nonsense!” Onyx could only vent his frustration on Adelpha since he couldn’t afford to get on
Elise’s bad side. “I just came back from a business trip. Can’t you give me one thing less to worry
about? Isn’t your piano examination soon? How is your practice going?”
