    Chapter 446


    If his eldest son had raised his child as his second son had, Samantha would not have turned out this


    way. Even though the second son’s liikl was slightly mischievous, he was respectable and would never


    indulge in these acts ofwlessness.


    “For minor issues, you can reach out to Michael. Alter your second uncle Tanz disciplined him recently,


    he’s been given somme leeway.” Old Man Tanz added.


    There was something significant that he did not mention. Little Quier was now retired, and if Cynthia


    were to be bullied, he would likely be the first to defend her.


    “Alright,” Cynthia responded.


    Once the issue was resolved, Cynthia’s heart lightened considerably


    Seeing that it was not time for the meal yet, Old Man Tanz asked Cynthia to y another round of


    chess with him. Before they started, he sent a message to Matthew. If you don’te soon, Cynthia


    will be leaving.)


    Matthew, who was ying chess with a group of retired seniors, nced at the message and quickly


    replied, “Hold on, I’ll be there after round”


    “Little Quer, it’s your turn. Why are you on your phone?”


    “Hurry up!”


    “I’ll be my turn after this round.


    “I wonder if Lattle Quier’s skill level has improved in the past two years.”


    “Does it matter if it’s improved? Has anyone among us ever pushed him to his limit?”


    “Thatd is a real weirdo.”


    The old men chatted animatedly.


    Dressed in a long ck coat, Matthew responded to theirments with a wry smile. “After this round,


    all of you should go home for lunch. Don’t let your wives wait anxiously.”


    “It’s almost noon!!


    “How has time passed so quickly? We’ve only yed two rounds.”


    “After lunch, I want to y the first round.”


    “It’s supposed to be my turn!”


    The men began to argue amongst themselves.


    Matthew’s eyes were narrow, their ck pupils shining in the light. He quickened his pace, a tinge of


    curiosity tingling within him. What would Cynthia’s reaction be when she saw him?

    At that moment, Cynthia was also engrossed in her game. After all, Old Man Tanz’s level of y was


    quite high when he was serious. Twenty minutester, both games had reached a critical stage.


    Matthew had finished his match, but neither Cynthia nor Old Man Tanz, so concentrated on their game,


    noticed a man, tall, handsome, dressed in a ck coat and military boots, walking toward them from a


    small path.


    Cynthia took Old Man Tanz’s listing. At that exact moment, Matthew silently stood belund her. His


    beautiful eyes gave her a quick onerer beforending on the chessboard. His thin lips smiled so


    slightly, Cynthia felt a presence behind her but did not think much of it. She assumed it was a member


    of the Tanz family or perhaps someone else from the militarypound who had cure to watch. The


    game consumed all of Old Man Tanz’s attention as well.


    Twenty minutester, the game concluded. Old Man Tanz eiled a long breath, growing fonder of


    Cynthia with each move she made. “You’re quite the yer, tragging me at every turn. I almost…he


    trailed off when he saw Matthew He had not finished the sentence, but the sentiment was clear. Ite had


    almost lost. Surprised, he wondered, when did this young man.


    Cynthia had rarely seen such an expression on Old Man Tanz Instinctively, she followed his gaze.
