It was a Tuesday, and everyone seemed particularly busy.
Elliot had a tricky case that required his attention while Sheena was in the midst of negotiating partnerships with other renowned international corporations.
The Lawson Group was gradually expanding its ventures abroad, and these two days were crucial signing days.
With both parents tied up, and Asher's obvious hatred for Nathaniel, Elliot had to give Lionel a paid day off to keep Asher company while he received his IV treatment.
Lionel was a lovable idiot.
He played backgammon with Asher and was completely thrashed, not even winning a single game.
"Hmph! I don't believe you're smarter than me! Let's play another round!"
Asher clicked his tongue, eyeing him up.
"Uncle Lionel, are you sure? If we play another round, you'll be naked!"
Lionel belatedly realized his own bare, exposed arms, rubbing them as the wind blew in through the window.
Asher was such a cheeky brat, betting with him that whoever lost a round would take off one piece of clothing.
At first, Lionel was worried about Asher catching a cold from removing his clothes, so he let him win a few rounds.
Later, he realized that he genuinely could not beat Asher.
He had stripped off everything from his belt to his watch and rings, leaving only his gray underwear.
Another loss and he would be completely naked!
It was embarrassing.
However, not winning at all was even more humiliating.
Just as Lionel was conflicted, Asher made a random move on the backgammon board and yawned.
"Let's continue next time, Uncle Lionel. I'm tired, and I might lose if we play again. How about giving in this time?"
Lionel took advantage of the situation and said, "Alright. Are you hungry? I'll cut up some fruit for you."

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
