Charlotte sent a crying emoji and another text. âIt was through a lot of effort. Another message came immediately. Just curious.
Was it you that accepted my request?â
North replied, âYup.â She asked, âThen, will your uncle block me when he returns?â Calmly, he commented, âYup. This made her panic. âWhat should I do? Little handsome boy, please help me. I am super into your uncle.â
North frowned tightly at her words. Does she really like Uncle Brian? âAre you a legal adult?â Charlotte replied, âOf course. I became legal the day we met.â
This led him to ponder as his uncle was no longer young and wild. It would be nice if he got a girlfriend. Besides, he likes this lady too, right? So, he replied, âSure, I can help you.â She requested, âOh, could you help me put in at good word in front of your uncle?â
North could not help but smile as he admitted that he did not know how to do that. I canât help you with that, but I can stop him from blocking you. As for the rest, youâll have to manage on your own. This surprised Charlotte. âReally? I wonât be blocked?â
He stated proudly, âIf you donât believe me, then itâll be your loss. Iâm going to delete the messages now, otherwise, heâll make me pay if he sees them. Donât you betray me either.â He then deleted all the traces of their conversation.
Following that, he connected the phone to his computer and set Charlotteâs profile to be one that could not be blocked.
With everything done and dusted, Brian returned just in time as he went to the kitchen and handed Ellen the bottle of vinegar.
When he walked out, he found North playing with his computer. âWhy are you not throwing darts anymore? Whatâs your highest score?â
North stated proudly, âTen.â His answer made Brian smile. âReally? Do it again.â
With a snort, North stood up and stationed int his previous position before picking up a dart and throwing it. Whoosh! The dart flew and landed squarely on the bullseye.
Brian exclaimed, âWow! You sure are something!â Raising his eyebrows at him smugly, North challenged him. âUncle Brian, how about a match?â He agreed. âSure. What do you want to bet?â
âWhoever loses will wash the dishes.â
Brian laughed out loud. âThatâs a big bet!â
However, North egged on him. âAre you chicken?â All of a sudden, Brian thought that he was looked down upon by his nephew despite his accumulated experience for years!
âIf youâre not afraid, why should I be?â North stated, âIâll go first, then. Each person gets five chances. The one with the most points wins.â
Brian agreed to his terms. âOkay.â Pulling out all the darts from the board, North. stood to his original position before scoring another bullseye. âTwice?â Still smiling, Brian was feeling magnanimous.. âSure, make that twice. You have twenty points.â
Yet, he could not smile a moment after that as North scored consecutive bullseyes. With only one chance left, North would get full points if he got another bullseye. âDid you cheat or something?â he asked in disbelief.
What kind of child would get bullseyes in a row when they had just picked the sport up? North frowned. âAre you admitting defeat? If so, then I wonât throw this one.â
His question made Brian snort. âAdmit defeat? I taught you how to throw darts, so why would I do that?â
While looking at him, North casually threw the dart. Alas, it was another bullseye! Brian was speechless. Next up, it was finally his turn, but he got consecutive bullseyes too.
