Starry soon smiled again and said calmly, "I've got married."
"That's my girl!"
Grandma Dolores glanced at Wyatt and then back at Starry sadly.
The pretty girl couldn't be their granddaughter-in-law anymore.
With that idea in mind, Grandma Dolores got even more angry at her grandson, "She has got married! And you don't even have a girlfriend!"
Starry put down the cup and said softly, "But then I got divorced, Grandma Dolores."
Then all the people in this room began to focus back on her now.
Grandma Dolores fixed her sympathetic eyes on her, "What happened? Did the bastard bully you?"
Starry shook her head, "We had personality clashes. But his families treated me well."
Then she smiled and added, "An early marriage doesn't necessarily mean happiness. It's just… Wyatt hasn't met the right one."
She also solved Wyatt's problem for him.
Wyatt raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you hear Starry's words, Grandma?"
"She is right. But you refuse to get to know girls. I'm now wondering whether you will get married in the end or not."
Wyatt leaned back on the sofa and said with his eyes fixed on Starry, "I get to know her."
Starry was stunned a bit. She didn't expect Wyatt to mention her so she said instantly, "We just get to know each other through our commercial cooperation, Mr. Matthews."
Grandma Dolores laughed loudly, "Now even Starry isn't on your side. And don't call him Mr. Matthews, Starry. He is a little elder than you and you can just call him Wyatt."
"Mr… Wyatt is indeed a capable person," Starry said a bit embarrassedly.
Grandma Dolores asked a few more questions to Starry. After knowing that her grandma had passed away a few years ago, Grandma Dolores sighed, "Life is not easy for you, Starry."
After a long chat, the sun was about to set. Grandma Dolores offered to treat Starry with dinner and then began to prepare the dinner in the kitchen.
Grandpa Stephen put a set of chess onto the table, "Do you play chess?"
"You've taught me how to play."
She learned how to play chess from Grandpa Stephen.
But she hadn't played chess after she moved out. And that's why she didn't perform well when playing chess with Frances.
"I remember that," Grandpa Stephen smiled, "Then let's get started."
"Then what about me?" asked Wyatt.
"Go to help your grandma in the kitchen."
Wyatt was driven to the kitchen and Starry started a game with Grandpa Stephen.
"You made great progress."
The game took them half an hour and Starry lost in the end.
Grandpa Stephen pulled his glassed up his nose, "You used to lose a game within two minutes."
Starry said awkwardly, "You are a competent chess player, Grandpa Stephen."
Grandpa Stephen was a professional chess player when he was young. Starry did make great progress for it took Grandpa Stephen 30 minutes to win the game.
"You play better than Wyatt."
While they were talking, Wyatt came out with a plate in his hand, "You might have underestimated me, grandpa."
Grandpa Stephen said smilingly, "Then you could play with her after dinner."
"Dinner first!" Grandma Dolores came out with a plate of fish and Starry had her hands washed in the kitchen with the walking sick in hand.
After the dinner, Starry started another game of chess with Wyatt.
