Chapter 252
In the past, Walter would laugh at Benji's dating tips, but now, his hands that had driven sports cars, managed companies, and held guns, were putting on a claw machine for the first time ever.
On his first attempt, with his eyes level with the claw, he pressed the button down,
Shakira leaned against the glass and watched closely as well. But even though the claw seemed to aim at the toy, it only got half of it and naturally dropped it as it retracted.
Walter frowned, but quickly adjusted and got ready for his second try.
Shakira noticed it too and thought about saying something, but then decided it was pointless. Sure enough, on the second attempt. Walter successfully grasped the toy. He bent down to take it from the machine and handed it to Shakira.
"Wow! That was fast!" Shakira's eyes sparkled with admiration and delight. Walter, feeling pleased, smiled and said, "Piece of cake." Holding the toy, Shakira covered her mouth and chuckled
To prove his skills, Walter directed his focus on other claw machines with different games. Before long, Shakira became a human toy collector, and she couldn't carry them all. The store even provided a pink stroller, which was stuffed to the brim as well. Shakira finally said, "Alright, that's enough. We can't take all these homes."
Walter said, "It's fine. We'll take our private jet on our way back. There's room."
Shakira said, "Fine." Wealthy people had no worries indeed.
Their wild actions naturally drew the attention of others. Two well-dressed ladies shyly approached them and said, "Sir, you're so skilled at claw machines. Could you help us get a toy too?"
The other one said, "Yeah, we've tried so many times but never succeeded. You're big panda like the one she has, and there's still one left in the machine."

Shakira popped out from the large panda in her arms and was about to speak, but Walter quicker. He spoke in a calm. and cold tone, "That's for my girlfriend. If you can't get it, step aside. I'll get it."

Shakira didn't know what to say. The two ladies didn't expect that kind of reply. They pulled each other away awkwardly.
Seeing Shakira still a bit confused, Walter casually inserted tokens into the machine an apunte

Walter grinned and said, "The token exchange comes in either tens or fifties, and they only had ten in their basket. If they really couldn't get the toy as they claimed, they wouldn't just have eight lefts. Clearly, they tried only once and gave up." Shakira hadn't noticed these details. She said, "You can still give them a little help."
Walter said, "Humph. Then they'll get my contact information and start harassing me.
As he spoke, Walter had already managed to grasp the last big panda and casually placed it into the remaining space of the trolley.
Walter said, "They said they wanted the toy, but they were staring straight at me." Then he gently flicked Shakira's forehead and said, "Honey, be alert, okay?"
Shakira covered her forehead, and her eyes widened in disbelief Under Walter's disapproving gaze, she grinned and said, "It's fine. My boyfriend's sense of security is way better than mine. See, he even triggered the alarm himself and replayed the record. Walter was speechless. He wanted to raise his hand to teach her a lesson again, but this time, Shakira playfully opened her mouth and gently nibbled on his wrist like a puppy playing, which made Walter both amused and speechless.
The Nelson family, along with Berry who had joined their holiday trip, went to the airport to pick up Jayden. His teammate Aaron came back with him. After the trials of war, Jayden appeared even more rugged and mature beyond his years. Jayden's voice was rough and hoarse, "Mom, Dad, Grandma, Fin Aaron also greeted everyone.
"Good kid. It's so great to have you back safe!" Cody gave him a strong pat on the shoulder.
Rebecca and Selena couldn't help but tear up. They held Cody tightly on either side. Rebecca said, "What were you thinking?! How could you go to Helian without telling us? If something happened to you, how was I going to live?" Jayden exchanged a glance with Finn, Felix, and Yvette. He silerly patted Rebecca's and Selena's backs. "Did you get hurt?" Rebecca couldn't wait to check on him. "Why did you lose so much weight?"
Selena said, "It's fine. At least he's back safe and sound. He can cat well after he gets home." Felix asked, "How long is your vacation this time?"
Jayden answered, "At least a month, until the next mission." Felix said, "That's good."
Finally getting a chance, Yvette stepped forward and gave Jayden a big hug. She took his arm and acted cute, "Jayden, you must be hungry, right? There's a snack shop over there. Let me take you and Aaron to grab something to eat." Then Yvette looked back and winked at Rebecca. "Mom, I'm going to have a little chat with Jayden. I'll bring him back soon.
Rebecca smiled fondly, "Go ahead. We'll wait in the car."
Yvette said, "Okay!"
They walked into the snack shop. Jaydon looked at her with his light brown eyes knowingly and said, "Split it."
Yvette stuck out her tongue shyly and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
She recounted everything that happened at Silverwave Mountain and pleaded with Felix with an innocent expression, "Jayden, I know lying is wrong. I initially planned to tell everyone about your return after that trip.
"But at that time, I was really scared, afraid that Dad and Grandma would think breaking the bracelet was a bad omen, especially since Shakira had already said many unpleasant things and even made Lopez Group oppose our family. If I disappointed them again..." Yvette's voice trembled, and the teardrops on her eyelashes finally fell down the side of her nose, making her look even more pitiful and innocent. Jayden frowned tightly.
He was aware of the recent chaos at home but never imagined that the so-called "younger sister" he never met could be so heartless.
Berry echoed and exaggerated how Shakira had made trouble for her and tried to drive her away on the plane. Then even Aaron couldn't stand it anymore.
Aaron said, "Jaydon, what kind of person is that? How could she bully others just because she has someone backing her up? She even bullied her own classmates and family? That's just so wrong!" Jayden gently placed his calloused hand on Yvette's shoulder and said, "I'll keep this secret for you. Don't worry about it."

Yvette was deeply moved and said, "Thank you, Jayden.
Aaron patted his chest and said, "I'll also keep this secret for you. Yvette. Since Jayden and I are such good friends, you can consider me your brother as well. I've got your back!" Yvette gave a sweet smile and said. "Thank you, Aaron."
Aaron said. "But the most annoying one is that troublemaker, Shakira, right? She's here too, isn't she? We need to teach her a lesson, or she'll really think nobody can handle her. Jayden warned him in a low voice, "Don't do anything rash."
Aaron huffed and said. "What could I do? Are you defending her
Yvette exclaimed, "No, Aaron. I don't want to drag you into this.
"Humph. Let me see what she got," Aaron said disdainfully. While Jayden was paying the bill, he winked at Yvette and whispered, "Don't worry, Yvette. Consider it a little welcome gift from me!" Yvette didn't know what to say but just looked at Aaron with more admiration and shyness in her eyes, which only boosted Aaron's confidence.
