Chapter 50 Conflict

After Aaron went to rest, Coach George looked at the players who had gathered around to watch the excitement.

 If you want to better promote the Melford Middle School football team, the more materials, the better.

 Just facing the coach's gaze, the team members all turned their heads to the side with a guilty conscience, and soon they dispersed in a rush.

 The team members have fully understood how powerful Mike is, and they don't want to be the second "lucky guy".

 Coach George was not very surprised when the players had this kind of reaction. After shaking his head, he looked at Jack who was playing with the camera, and asked, "How is it? Have you captured all the previous scenes?"

 "Of course! As a sports reporter, how could I miss such a wonderful moment." Jack's face There was excitement on his face, and then he boasted: "I am even more sure that Mike will become a 'big shot' on the football field in the future."

 Jack placed his treasure on Mike, and he did not make a mistake. The footage he captured of Mike's touchdown in the game has been included in the local radio station's "Top 10 Football of the Week" list.

 This also allowed this down-and-out sports reporter to receive a considerable bonus.

 So, now Jack is very pleased with Mike, the dark horse.

 Coach George was very impressed by Jack's praise of his players. He smiled, turned to Mike, and said, "Okay, you can continue training."

 Mike nodded and returned to the equipment area for personal exercise.

 Another afternoon was spent in boring exercises.

 Jack also took pictures again, a lot of footage from Mike's training. When he saw that the time was almost up, he put away the equipment, and before leaving, he reminded Mike to remember to watch the sports channel tonight.

 During the inter-school league, local TV stations will compile the highlights of the inter-school league and broadcast them during prime time on Friday nights.

 This also turned the school football game into a national carnival.

 As Jack left, Coach George told the players about next week's opponents and told everyone to prepare carefully after going home.

 Then, as soon as Coach George announced the "dismissal", all the players cheered and left the playground.

 In the minds of the team members, having fun on the weekend is as important as winning the game.

 As for Mike, he simply washed up and walked out of the locker room. According to the practice of the past few days, he once again declined a few invitations from the girls waiting at the door.

 With Mike's current popularity in school, as long as he is willing, he can have in-depth communication with a girl with a wave of his hand.

 However, after being baptized by Karen, Mike had no interest in ordinary-looking girls at all.

 However, his indifferent performance was very irritating to little George.

 Little George said: Envy, jealousy, hate!

 "Isn't that little Sheldon?" The two of them hadn't gone far when Mike saw Sheldon's little figure on the side of the road.

 "What an annoying guy..." Little George muttered, putting on a poker face.

 That look said, 'Seeing little Sheldon on campus' is a bad thing.

 In the past, after school, little Sheldon would get in George's car and go directly home, instead of taking a slow walk home like little George and Mike.

 With his unusual situation today, something must have happened.

 "Hey Sheldon, what's the matter?" Mike took the initiative to say hello.

 "It's okay." Little Sheldon responded, trying to look natural.

 It was just his pace that unknowingly kept up with Mike's. Looking at the tangled expression on his face, it was obvious that he was hiding something in his heart.

 "Okay." Mike smiled and didn't ask any further questions. He was very aware of Little Sheldon's arrogant character.

 Moreover, based on his understanding of Little Sheldon, if the other person has something on his mind, he will not be able to hold it in for long.

 Sure enough, after the three of them walked out of the campus, little Sheldon struggled for a while and said, "Mike, do you think George and Mary will get divorced?"

 "How?" Mike turned his head and asked in confusion.

 Mary and George were a model couple, and Mike couldn't think of any reason for them to get divorced. 

 "These past few nights, I often hear the sound of George and Mary arguing in the room." Little Sheldon analyzed seriously: "As far as I know, every couple will go through this stage before divorce."

 "Why are they arguing?" Mike continued to ask.

 "I don't know, maybe it's because of grandma's secret recipe for barbecue." Little Sheldon sighed.

 No matter how smart little Sheldon is, he still can't understand why Grandma Connie's secret barbecue recipe is so "powerful".

 However, Mike guessed some hidden secrets: I am afraid that George was not angry because of a secret barbecue recipe. He felt that his efforts for more than ten years had not been understood and "rewarded" by his family.

 Human beings are emotional animals after all. After giving, they also want to get some positive "feedback" to show the value of their existence.

 Grandma Connie's secret barbecue recipe can only be regarded as a negative introduction.

 However, Mike still couldn't believe that George and Mary would get divorced because of this little conflict.

 So, he turned around and asked, "Little George, do you know what the quarrel between George and Mary was about?"

 "How do I know?" Little George, who had always been an airy man, did not notice the change in the atmosphere at home.

 Then, he continued: "Isn't it normal to quarrel? Some people on the football team and I often quarrel."

 "Shut up, Little George." Little Sheldon was dissatisfied when he heard Little George's stupid speech. Said: "The quarrel between George and Mary was completely different from yours..."

 Then, little Sheldon tried to explain to little George the differences between the two.

 "Whatever~" Little George said nonchalantly: "If they get divorced, I want to live with George. You are not allowed to choose the same one as me..."

 In Little George's mind, he even began to imagine that there would be no Xiao Xie in his future life. Hilton, how wonderful that would be.

 "Stop~"

 Seeing that something was wrong, Mike spoke up to stop the brothers from the quarrel that was about to begin. He reassured: "Sheldon, you are too sensitive. George and Mary will not divorce."

 When little Sheldon was doubtful, the three of them walked back to Cooper's house.

 With Mike's guidance along the way, little Sheldon's mood seems much better.

 And every weekend, if nothing else happened, the Cooper family would have family dinners with Grandma Connie.

 This is family leisure time.

 Of course, before the dinner party this week, there is one more activity: watching local sports channels.

 As the prime period arrives, the whole family gathers around the TV.

 On the TV, there was a wonderful scene of Mike holding the ball and leaping over his opponent, then violently knocking away the opponent's safety guard and successfully scoring a touchdown.

 "Long live Mike!!! Long live~"

 Seeing Mike's heroic performance on TV, Missy excitedly walked around the house and started to cheer.

 "Mike, you will become a big star..." Grandma Connie also said happily, very proud of Mike.

 Then everyone else, like family members, spoke out to congratulate Mike.

 Among the family, only Coach George seemed not to be in a very high mood at this time.

 "George, don't you want to say something? Mike is your team member." Mary noticed her husband's behavior and reminded him.

 "Mike, congratulations." Coach George covered his face with a magazine and said.

 "Can't you put the magazine down?" Mary was a little angry.

 "No, I don't want to see someone," George said, blocking Grandma Connie's gaze with a magazine.
