Chapter 1295


    I stood on one side and lowered my head to look at the chessboard.


    They were ying chess. At this moment, Grayson no longer had a bishop. Theo had his rook aimed at the queen. He was destined to lose this


    match.


    He knew he was definitely going to lose, but as an elder, he did not want to embarrass himself. Hence, he called me over to ease the embarrassment.


    I looked at Theo. After several days of not seeing him, he still looked charming as ever, though he seemed a little haggard too


    When he caught me staring at him, he raised his eyebrows and locked at Grayson, saying, "It''s your turn, Mr. Louis.”


    Grayson brushed his nose. "How should I go on ying this?"


    He would lose no matter what step he took. He raised his head to lock at me before getting up and saying, "Continue the game for me, child. I''ll go


    help your mom with the cleaning."


    He hurried away after saying that.


    I was a little speechless. Was it really okay for him to leave this mess to me?


    I sat down and was not in the mood to y chess. I looked at Theo and asked, "What are you doing here?"


    Theo frowned, not answering the question, * Why didn''t you tell me that you''ve returned to Whaldorf City?"


    I lowered my head to look at the chessboard and moved his rook away, saying with a nd voice, "Mr. Grant, you have a myriad of things to attend to


    every day. Why are you concerned about such trivial manners?"


    Theo sighed, moving away his rook that was aiming at me. He relented as I had expected.


    "It was a misunderstanding that night. Zedd was there toc. You can ask him if you don''t believe me."


    Was he exining himself to me?


    I pursed my lips and ced thest of my pawn at his side. "I know. Actually, you don''t have to exin yourself to me, Mr. Grant. You''re rich and


    powerful, so it''s normal for you to have mistresses. I totally understand.”


    Theo frowned, looking a little unhappy now.


    He captured the pawn I ced on his side. I got up and said, "Make yourself at home, Mr. Grant. I''m taking my leave now."


    He got up as well and pressed both hands on my shoulders. I was pressed back to my seat on the sofa.


    He sighed, putting back the pawn he just took in the same ce. He then ced his rook in front of my pawn. "Let''s continue.”


    I frowned and tock his rook directly.


    Theo lookedpletely powerless but did not say a word


    At this moment, Grayson walked


    over withan expectant and N


    surprised expression. "Weren''t we


    losing? Why are we on par now?


    Looks like my daughter is truly a


    genius at chess.”


    -


    I pursed my lips, not saying a word.


    It was not that I was good at chess but Theo dared not win against me.


    "It''s your turn," Theo said with a smile,


    He had only two bishops left, whereas I had a rook and a pawn left. I continued ying.


    When Pet(aserved fruits, she IN


    stopped Bustling aboutinthe


    kitchen and watched us y chess.


    Cassey woke up and came Oo


    downstairs, joining the fun: as well.


    Theo moved his bishop to me and let me take it. I had no reason not to take it.


    Grayson was speechless and turned


    around to''leave, mumbling as hedid


    $0," These two aren''t ying chess


    the ght way. Who ys chess like


    that? What a joke." Content belongs

    Cassey heard him and said with a disgusted look on her face, "What do you know? How can couples ever y chess seriously? Are they even


    ying chess?


    What they''re ying is affection. You''re such a nerd.”
