    Chapter 627


    “Brother, what’s this?” Moses nced at Joshua’s phone, then back at Joshua


    Joshua tensed up.


    Almost instantaneously, he knew he had been caught.


    “None of your business, True gentlemen don’t speak while watching a game of chess. Don’t interrupt


    us,” Old Man Neal said without offering him much chance to speak, his face set in a stem expression.


    Moses threw Joshua a few more nces.


    Joshua offered him a cursory nce, then continued his game, showing no signs of panic.


    Hisposure was exemry.


    Moses, although curious, did not press. Instead, he sat down to the side, intending to discuss this


    intriguing development after the game had ended.


    Using an app to cheat? This was not his brother’s style at all.


    Joshua did not y for long against Old Man Neal. After only three games, he found an excuse to stop


    ying


    The reason was simple.


    His phone’s battery had died.


    “What’s wrong with you today?” Old Man Neal, eyeing the pieces on the board, furrowed his brow


    “What do you mean?” Joshua naturally retorted.


    “The way you yed these three games differs significantly from your usual style. And your skills seem


    to have regressed. What’s going on?” Old Man Neal’s gaze held aplex emotion.


    “Perhaps I’m tired from the flight. My mind isn’t settled yet,” Joshua replied calmly.


    Old Man Neal immediately refuted that im.


    Tiredness and an unsettled mind would not result in such a drastic change in style. It was as though he


    was ying against an entirely different person


    “Nevermind,” Old Man Neal said, choosing not to dwell on it. He simply attributed it to Joshua’s


    previous anger. “Go and rest properly. We’ll have another match in a few days”


    Joshua nodded slightly. “Alright.”


    They packed up the chess pieces and ceased ying


    Joshua nned to rx in the courtyard. However, as soon as he settled onto a bench, he noticed


    Moses sauntering over, a meaningful smile on his face.

    Joshua spared him a nce and said nothing.


    Moses took a seat next to him and propped up his head, speaking in a semi–joking tone, “Bro, isn’t


    there something you want to say?”


    “Like what?”


    “I saw you cheating with your phone. Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Grandpa?” Moses bluntly revealed.


    “If you want


    conversation.


    make Grandpa ill from anger, go ahead. I don’t care.” Joshua acted his part perfectly, his mind not at all


    on the


    Moses pressed on, “You’ve never done this before, what’s going on?”


    If not for Joshua’s identical features, Moses would have suspected that the man before him was an


    imposter.


    Upon his return, he threw a tantrum and even resorted to cheating at chess.


    Both of these events were unprecedented in the past two decades.


    What on earth had happened to cause such a drastic change in him?


    “That’s none of your business,” Joshua replied, sticking to the principle that less talk meant less


    trouble.


    Moses spected, “Is it something to do with Cynthia? Did you get disheartened by her?”


    However, that did not seem right either.


    With Joshua’s character, he never brought outside emotions home to Old Man Neal and the others.


    He certainly would not behave so abnormally,


    Joshua had an instinctive aversion to the term. “I’m living at her ce right now, does that sound like


    I’m disheartened?”


    Moses was taken aback, and surprise etched on his face.
