Chapter 707: PLAYING GAMEfree webno vel
Pyro was bored and then decided to buy a PS5 to play with Jack, coincidentally with the access he had, he could get this video game quite easily, therefore, he could get this game as soon as possible.
“Whoa!” Jack looked at the game with sparkling eyes, like a woman looking at a diamond. He looked so amazed at the game console that he couldn’t even speak with joy. “Is this the very, very expensive PS5?” he asked.
Jack didn’t even dare to open the box because he didn’t want to damage the thing which Pyro thought was too much, but when he recalled Jack’s background and how he found Apple when she was still being cared for by Nadia, of course this boy’s reaction could be said to be the most sensible.
He didn’t know what was in Nadia’s mind when she decided to have another child when she herself did not know how to take care of a child.
“Come here and open the box,” said Pyro, waving his hand for Jack to approach him.
He didn’t know how Jack’s life at Nadia’s house was, but not once did this boy ask about his mother’s whereabouts or ask when he would be going back home.
Actually Jack was not a troublesome child, you could even say he was an obedient and very helpful child because he would try not to make a mess around him, he also washed his own used dishes. He was much more mature than other children his age.
But, seeing him like this, reminded Pyro of Apple back then, because his little daughter also behaved like that, she looked much more mature than her age at that time. Life experiences were indeed what would shape you.
“Open it, I bought this for you,” said Pyro calmly, waving his hand again at the boy, who still looked shy and didn’t dare to come closer. “Open it.”
But, Jack just shook his head. “It’ll be broken,” he answered slowly. He was aware that this game was a very expensive one as he could only see his friends playing this when he was playing at one of his friends’ houses when his parents weren’t home because he was afraid to be alone.
But, at that time, his friends said that he should only watch because if the game got broken, Jack would not be able to pay them back.
Therefore, little Jack could only sit behind them while watching his friends play with excitement.
“No, it won’t break, it won’t break if you open it slowly.” Pyro’s point was that he wanted to give Jack a chance to open this toy with enthusiasm, and witness the childish enthusiasm that had long been lost since Apple had grown up as she wasn’t ‘cute’ anymore and fought him more often.
It was just that, despite being persuaded, Jack was still reluctant, he shook his head unwillingly.
“Then how about we open it together?” Pyro finally asked as a solution and Jack seemed to think for a moment and nodded in agreement. “Come here, you are sitting too far away.”
Jack then came closer and they both opened the box carefully, Jack’s eyes lit up when he saw the little gadget and touched it.
He had never once received a gift during this time because his parents were always busy and they always said they didn’t have money to buy him anything, therefore, he never asked for one again.
“Now, how about we install the game?” said Pyro after they both took out all the parts of the game. Pyro also bought another console for Jack so they could play together.
“Yes,” replied Jack, nodding enthusiastically.
Jack had never felt this happy before and felt very lucky that Apple and Uncle Pyro wanted to accommodate him here, even though mom left him alone, so he didn’t know what to do if Apple and Uncle Pyro refused his presence.
They looked annoyed, but it seemed they weren’t mad at him and instead were mad at his mother. Couldn’t be blamed either, because his mom could be pretty mean.
And Jack felt very comfortable in this place, because here he could get good food and not go hungry because he could eat everything that was in the refrigerator, except for uncle Pyro’s drinks. He couldn’t drink them.
Besides, there were plenty of snacks here. Even when he fell asleep, no one would wake him up and say he was lazy and also Uncle Pyro seemed to be very nice and never yelled at him once.
Very different from James. His biological father wasn’t evil, but he also tended to ignore him.
Bottom line, Jack liked living here.
It didn’t take long for Pyro to tune in all the parts and the television screen started showing the games they could play.
“WOW!” Jack was mesmerized at this sight and his eyes looked very happy, especially when Pyro gave him a control and he held it like something very precious and he should not drop it. “Can I play?” he asked innocently.
Jack held the control in both hands and looked up at Pyro, asking him if he could play this.
“Of course!” said Pyro excitedly, laughing. “I bought this for you, of course you have to play!”
And with that, the two of them played happily.
At first, Jack pressed the buttons on his control carefully, because he was afraid to damage them, so he couldn’t play fast, but then, Pyro realized this and started laughing.
“You don’t have to play it carefully like that, just relax,” he said again and then pulled him closer to himself and taught him how to play it, as he listened attentively.
“If I press too hard, it will break,” said Jack.
“Of course not, you are too small to damage it, you are not that big yet,” said Pyro while ruffling his hair.
