Chapter 39 Bad Luck Indeed
Tucker still remained composed on the surface.
Yet, his insides contracted with a sudden excitement.
Valerie looked quite gentle, pretty, and innocent.
She had been well–raised these days, so her face got a little fat and looked more fair–skinned.
And the clothes she was wearing were also bought by Bruce for her to do the show.
They weren’t really designer clothes. After all, Valerie had to come to the countryside. It would be a pity if the clothes got stained.
Both Valerie and Tucker had a small microphone clipped to their collars.
Their whispers were all recorded.
“Oh my! Valerie is so sweet!”
“Ha–ha–ha! She is so impressive! I like her!”
“Holy smoke! If I have such a daughter or sister, I’ll burst with joy.”
“I love daughters. I decided to have another child with my wife!”
“The one who wants to have another child, be careful!”
The netizens‘ hearts all melted due to Valerie’s words.
Tucker, who liked Valerie a lot, of course, was touched too.
Chupa Rad Luck based
Hearing her words, he felt a bit relieved.
Valerie was a bit amused by Tucker’s question.
It looked like Tucker also knew that he had somewhat bad luck.
Valerie went forward and held his hand, signaling him not to feel stressed.
Her soft hand just flipped Tucker’s heart.
He gently held Valerie’s hand.
“OK, as you can see, this photo is of the house you’re gonna stay in. It looks quite clean, and it’s the best of all houses. Look at the back of the photo. It’s number two.”
David showed the number behind the photo of the modern house. The kids also understood they were supposed to draw a number and pick the house they would stay in.
“Then, you should know the best house is the number two. We won’t show the numbers of other houses. After you each pick a number, we’ll announce the result then.”
David put the lucky draw box in front of all.
The four teams looked at each other. None of them dared to go forward and draw a number first.
Soren noticed the awkward situation and then smiled gently.
He went forward and held Selina in his arms, who was still a bit shy.
“Just now, when we did the self–introduction, we introduced ourselves from the oldest to the youngest. Now, let’s draw the numbers from the youngest to the oldest. I’ll take Selina to draw a number first. OK?”
“Of course!”
Trevin immediately replied and then stepped back with Ada.
David nodded and then shook the box before letting Soren take Selina forward.
Selina didn’t understand what had happened, but she knew that she was gonna draw a lottery.
She became excited all at once.
Leaning forward. Selina intended to reach into the hole and draw a number.
Soren held her carefully so that she could get closer to the lottery draw box.
She rummaged through the box and finally got a ball.
“OK. Selina picked this one.”
Soren held Selina’s hand and slowly walked back to their seats.
“Has Soren not taken care of a child before?”
“What kind of question is that? You should ask like this. Does Soren really have no child?”
“I want to know the answer too. He’s doing even better than me, and I’ve already got a child!”
“Well, I’m showing this to my husband. And I just hit him.”
Not only the netizens thought this way, but also the people present all had the same feeling.
After Carlo picked a number, it was finally Valerie’s turn. She held
Tucker’s hand and came to the lottery draw box.
Tucker slightly tightened his grip on Valerie, and in return, she gently squeezed his hand.
She put her hand into the box. There were only two balls left. So, she just picked one of them randomly.
Seeing that Valerie took out a ball, Tucker swallowed.
The last ball went to Ada.
The balls were all wrapped with red paper so that the numbers wouldn’t be seen directly.
“Alright. Everyone has got a ball. Now, you may tear off the paper and see what number you’ve got!”
“I’m a bit nervous.”
“Me too.”
“Knock it off. I guess Tucker’s is the worst.”
“Ha–ha. He is really unlucky.”
“He is the king of bad luck!”
“Are you ready to make a bet?”
“I don’t think a bet would be needed,
The number of the audience in the live stream room kept skyrocketing. Everyone was discussing which one would get the number two.
They also wondered whether Tucker would get the worst house.
The four teams tore off the paper carefully.
Only Carlo tore the red paper off the ball violently.
The number two just showed itself in front of everybody.
It was like a spontaneous reaction.
Everyone shifted their gaze to Tucker and the ball in Valerie’s hand.
They clearly thought that Tucker couldn’t have good luck.
Valerie shrugged resignedly and tore off the red paper under everyone’s expectant gaze.
The number one came to everyone’s vision.

Valerie and Tucker had a bad feeling.
David still looked calm. No one could tell whether the number signified good or bad. So, they were still quite nervous, afraid that they would get the mud hut.
“Ha–ha, everyone just looked at Tucker. That was so hilarious.”
“I’ve recorded that scene and made it an emoji.”
“Got it. It’s the sense of embarrassment when everyone just looks at you.”
“So, Tucker has just been confirmed as the king of bad luck?”
When everyone tore off the paper, David finally announced the result with a smile.
“Number two, you know who got it. Then, I’ll talk about the number four first! Congratulations to Trevin and Ada!”
David passed the paper and the key to them. Now, only the numbers one and three were left.
Soren and Tucker were really nervous.
They both firmly stared at the paper in David’s hand.
It seemed that they wanted to see through the paper and figure out which number was on it.
“OK. Now, only two houses are left. Let’s see which one is the mud hut…”
Everyone held their breath and waited for David to reverse the situation.
Congratulations to Tucker! He got the number one, the mud hut!”
That was quite a shock!
“Oh my, Tucker really got it!”
“I wanna laugh, but I just can’t…”
“I’ve got to say Tucker’s bad luck is too strong…
“I’m sorry for Valerie. She has to suffer with Tucker now.”
“Well, it’s really hard to tell what will happen then…”
Tucker thought his having bad luck was merely a personal setting to draw the audience’s attention, but it turned out to be so aligned with reality…
He looked at Valerie with an apologetic expression and then saw Valerie’s gentle smile.
He felt touched.
