I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1061

Sigmund looked at Bonnie helplessly. “Sydney’s just a hothead. Don’t let her get to you, Bonnie.”

“It’s okay. I’m used to her tantrums.” Bonnie waved and checked the time. “There’s still some time until the tea party. Should we play a round of chess to kill some time, Grandpa?”

This time, Sigmund quickly agreed. “All right, let’s go. Otherwise, it’ll start to get boring.”

Bonnie realized why he kept turning her down when she asked him to play earlier. Apparently, he was waiting for Sydney to arrive and wanted to ask her to take Bonnie to the party. Even so, Bonnie did not expose Sigmund.

Bonnie turned to the butler and said, “Alfred, could you get us the rosewood chess set?”

“Right away, Ms. Bonnie.” Alfred left to do as she asked.

Meanwhile, Sigmund rolled his sleeves and said, “I need to prepare myself mentally to play against you.”

Bonnie could not help but giggle. “Do you have to be so dramatic, Grandpa?”

“I know I’m no match for you in chess, but I’m hopeful. After all, I might just get lucky and win a match.”

A moment later, Alfred arrived with the rosewood chess set. Sigmund chose black pieces, leaving Bonnie with white ones. “Let’s begin, Bonnie.”
