Was this game not initiated to embarrass Maria?

However, this had become an opportunity for Anthony and Maria to show off their love unscrupulously!

The game went on for a few more rounds without any hiccups

Throughout the game, Ron laughed boisterously, for he was the Luckiest one of the group and having a great time.

Hearing all this noise well past her bedtime made Lorraine emerge from her bedroom.

"Mom, didn't you say you were going to bed?" Ron asked in a daze, his smile frozen on his face.

Lorraine, who was dressed in a pair of expensive, light-colored pajamas, smiled softly at the group and answered, "I couldn't sleep after hearing you all having such a good time.”

As a well-bred lady, she was taught to always maintain a calm and pleasant demeanor.

The truth was that Lorraine couldn't fall asleep because of the racket that these young people were making, but she didn't complain outright lest she made them feel embarrassed.

“Mom, would you Like to join us?"

Among the group, Ron was the simplest one. Unable to grasp what his mother was implying, he happily invited her to join them instead.

“Well... Okay."

Lorraine felt that it would be rude to refuse unless she really had a reason to, so she reluctantly agreed to play a round.

She had never played Truth or Dare before, and had to ask for an explanation about the rules.

Seeing that Lorraine was really about to play with them, Vivian sank into her own thoughts.

If Maria was chosen to be the punisher while Lorraine was the one to be punished, then the game might sour the relationship between them. The thought almost evoked a snigger from Vivian's lips.

But the next moment, she came to her senses.

Crap! What could happen to Maria could just as easily happen to her. What if Vivian was the one chosen to punish Lorraine? She didn't want to do anything to anger Lorraine, even by accident.

Worry gripped Vivian's heart. Until now, Vivian had been praying that she would draw the card with the highest number for every round, but now she was afraid that she would be too Lucky.

By this time, Lorraine had understood to the rules, downloaded the app on her mobile phone, and begun to choose a card.

Everyone else drew a card as well.

“I have an idea."

Anthony's voice came out of the blue, and everyone stared at him curiously.

They were all used to his silence. It was rare for him to speak up on his own.
