Chapter 1184
"Everything that night was a misunderstanding. Austin was there as well. If you don't believe me,you can ask him!"
Was this an explanation?!
I pressed my lips together and moved the only pawn left on the chessboard. I said lightly, "There'sno need to explain. You are a very powerful man. So it's normal for you to have mistresses. I canunderstand!"
He frowned, pursed his lips, and moved his rook. Then, he captured my pawn.
I got up and stopped playing. "Mr. Roberts, have a good game. I will take my leave, please excuseme."
He looked at me and pulled me to sit down. He pinched the bridge of his nose and placed my pawn,who had been captured by him, back on the board. Then he moved the rook to the front of my pawnand looked at me and said, "Go on!"
I raised my eyebrows and nodded. I moved the pawn and captured his rook directly. He touched hisforehead helplessly, but that was all he could do.
Pedro walked over, looked at the chess pieces on
the board, and said, "Earlier, it was a dead-end, but now it turned out to be a draw. My daughter,you're quite capable of reviving yourself from the brink of death!"
I pursed my lips. I was well aware that Hendrix had done this on purpose.
Hendrix looked at me and raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to continue?"
I looked at the two bishops he had left on the chessboard, and I only had one pawn and one rookleft. I nodded and said, "Sure!"
He nodded and moved the bishop to the front of my pawn. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It'syour turn."
Valerie placed a plate of fruits on the table, and Freya, who had been sleeping upstairs, had comedown. When she saw that we were playing chess, she greeted us and went to the dining room. Imoved my pawn and captured Hendrix's bishop.novelbin
Pedro was dumbfounded at this. He walked away and said in a hoarse voice, "What kind of chessgame are you playing? If everyone plays this way, don't you think it would be a complete mess?"
Freya stuffed her mouth with fruits and said in disgust, "Pedro, what do you know about this? Thegame they are playing is not ordinary chess. It's a game of reconciliation. Huh, and you call yourselfa love guru... I think you're more of an idio..."
She didn't complete her sentence because Pedro glared at her sharply.
On the chessboard, Hendrix was left with nothing but a bishop. He looked at me and asked in agentle voice, "What are you going to do this afternoon?"
"Nothing!" I uttered as I moved my rook, cornering his king.
He didn't mind. Instead, he just let me capture his bishop.
Prey a could not bear to watch further, so she left. Valerie stood aside and said, "Didn't I say thatyou should go to the Aquarium in the North City today? Anne has been talking about it for a longtime."
Hendrix nodded and said, "Good idea. We should spend the day in the city."
I pursed my lips and said, "No, I have other things to do."
Valerie and Hendrix looked at me in surprise. They asked, "What is it?"
I stared at the chessboard and took Hendrix's king. I looked up and said, "Yesterday, didn't you saywe should visit Mr. Reid? I haven't seen Yana for a long time anyway. I want to see her baby."
Valerie paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Well, Mr. Roberts is here too. You both can gowith Anne."
I said, "But I've called my brother already. I am having dinner with him tonight."
Valerie wanted to help Hendrix and I reconcile, so she said, "That's good. You two can go together.Anne hasn't seen Yana's baby as well, and she likes babies. That would be nice..."
