From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 237

Elaine Carter was the youngest, and to top it off, she was the baby girl of the family.

Ever since she was little, everyone had doted on her just like they did with Olivia.

In front of them, Elaine was always a wild card, completely unrestrained.

She picked up a card and tossed it onto the table with a grin. “Relax. Be nice to me now, and you’ll get your payback. When you’re old and wrinkly, I’ll take care of you in your retirement.”

Carlson Baker rolled his eyes. “Wow, thanks. That’s so reassuring.”

“No need to thank me,” Elaine giggled, practically bursting with mischief. “I’m just the sort who remembers my debts.”

Carlson couldn’t help himself—he gave her a light knock on the head, earning a dramatic eye roll from Elaine.

“Your turn,” Carlson nodded, motioning for her to play.

Elaine drew a card, but Carlson quickly said, “Don’t take that one.”

Shrugging, she tossed it away.

“Full house,” Ethan Carter declared, slapping down his cards with a triumphant grin. “I win.”

Elaine gaped at him, her teeth grinding in frustration.

Carlson avoided her glare, guilt written all over his face. “Hey, I was just making conversation—I didn’t think you’d actually throw it out!”

Elaine shot daggers at him. “Carlson Baker, you’re done for. I will never, ever take care of you when you’re old.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll cover your losses today,” Carlson offered, trying to placate her.

“I don’t need your charity! Who told you I was going to lose?” Elaine huffed, glaring. “Stop sitting next to me. One of these days you’re going to make me explode.”

“Fine, I’ll zip it.” Carlson raised his hands in surrender.

Elaine just snorted, crossing her arms.

Olivia Bennett watched the two of them bicker with obvious amusement, her lips curling into a smile.

Once Ethan saw Olivia had finished her slice of pie, he slid over to make room. “Come on, your turn.”

Olivia hesitated, “No, you go ahead.”

She was worried she’d lose her shirt.
