My Wife is a Hacker by Summer

Chapter 1090
All of them strutted to the beach with chairs and parasols in hand.
When they had found a spot they wanted, Carl went about setting up the parasol as Harvey arranged the chairs, and Nicole and
Tia sat Mrs.Riddle Sr.down.
"Grandma, you can just sit here and watch us play," Nicole said.
"Whichever side the ball lands, you can go ahead and deduct points for that side."
Mrs.Riddle Sr.kept nodding her head, but Nicole was not certain if her grandmother actually understood the instructions.
"Alright, let's split into teams."
Nicole turned to the rest of them.
"What is the arrangement?" Harvey asked.
"I'll team up with Carl, and you'll be with Tia," Nicole said, not wishing to be in the same team as Harvey.
On the other hand, Harvey wanted to team up with Nicole, but due to the fact that Nicole had already paired him up with Tia, he
could not decline.
Doing so would only make Tia feel awkward.
"Alright, let's move out!" Nicole said.
"The both of you can decide who gets to go first with a game of Paper, Scissors, and Stone,"
Carl suggested, whereupon they did.
"I won!"
Nicole yelled, and started the game.
With a bang, Nicole struck the ball, launching it to the opposite side.
However, Harvey was light -footed and quick to act; he sprinted over and bounced it back to her.

Nicole was well-prepared to strike the ball again.
Once the ball had reached her side of the court, she quickly stretched her arms out and launched the ball up and over the net.
Once again, Harvey countered and sent it flying back to her.
Seeing that Harvey had bounced it back once more, Nicole sent the ball toward Tia instead, and as Tia did not really know how
to play, the ball grazed her hand and fell to the ground.
With that said, Nicole had won the first round.
In spite of this, Harvey stepped forward and encouraged Tia.
"Don't worry, let's try again."
This time around, Nicole eluded Harvey and focused on engaging Tia, and as expected, Tia could not track, let alone bounce the
ball back, and thus, Nicole won the second round.
After Nicole had won a few rounds in a row, Harvey stopped the game.
"Nicole, I don't think our teams are balanced in terms of skill levels.I think we should reshuffle them."
Nicole asked, 'How are we supposed to do that?"
Harvey considered her question for a moment, and after some thought, he decided to seize the opportunity and say, "Both you
and Carl are good at this, but the same can't be said for Tia and I.Why don't I switch places with Carl? That would even the
playing field."
Nicole turned to Carl, who had no objections.
"Okay, let's do that."
"First off, let's catch a break."
Nicole strutted off toward Mrs.Riddle Sr."We'll continue in a bit."
"Grandma, did you see that?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмNicole asked.
"I won a few rounds in a row."

"I saw that.The ball has been flying back and forth.It made me dizzy," Mrs.Riddle Sr.replied.
They erupted into a gale of laughter when they heard her response; the atmosphere at the beach was lively, indeed.
After their break was over, Nicole stood up and turned to look at them.
"Are you guys ready?"
"Let's go!" Harvey yelled.He was in good spirits.Now that he was in the same team as Nicole, he would take this opportunity to
showcase his abilities to her.
"Tia, you can attack from the front.I'll stand guard on your six." Carl said, explaining his strategy to Tia.
"Sure, but I'm not very good at it." Tia looked at Carl and blushed.
"It's okay.I'll be here," Carl replied, his tone exuding a sense of trust.
"Nicole, you can remain in the front.I'll take care of the back."
Harvey spouted with a tone of confidence to Nicole.
"Okay," she responded.
When the match began, Tia opened by launching the ball onto an area unguarded by the opposing team.
In response, Nicole rushed over and bounced it into the air.
Then, Harvey followed up with a jump and sent the ball flying toward Carl.Carl caught the ball with relative ease and sent it
hurtling back to the ground across the net, winning the game.
Seeing this, Tia whirled around in excitement and gave Carl a high five.
"He actually got it."
Harvey sighed, thinking that Carl wouldn't be able to reach the ball because it was rather far away from him when it was sent
over the net.Yet, Carl not only caught it; he had sent it flying back to them with a winning shot.
In the subsequent round, Tia opened with a shot across the net once more.

Nicole saw this and sent the ball flying back to them, prompting Carl to lurch forward and strike it.
With the ball flying past Nicole, Harvey thought that she would not be able to reach it in time, so he lunged forward to secure the
ball.
At that instant, both of them collided into other and fell to the ground, as the ball landed right beside them.
