Chapter 180
Zachary walked down the stairs, scanned the empty living room, and couldn’t find the youngsters “Miranda, where are the kids?”
Miranda answered, “They’re playing chess in the side room”
“All right, let’s go check it out”
They saw Penelope sitting across George in a silent battle on the chessboard as they entered the side room.
Zachary was a bit surprised. It was Penelope and George playing chess. He walked over for a closer look.
What a game!
It didn’t matter who won or lost. Anyone who saw the game would know that both players were skilled.
“Dad Mom, why are you here? It’s so boring. Let’s go to the living room” Kamilla grabbed Miranda’s hand, but Miranda didn’t move, her eyes still fixed on the chessboard
Kamilla urged, “Mom!”
Zachary said. “Kamilla, real gentlemen don’t talk during the game.”
So Kamilla shut up
Five minutes later, George put down his chess piece and said. “I lost.”
He stood up, looked at “Penelope” and said, “You’re really good at chess.”
Allison politely replied. “I just got lucky.”
Kamilla frowned, “Really? Did you lose? Were you going easy on her? How could you lose to Penelope?!”
George sighed He hadn’t gone easy on her.
He was so aggressive during the game, even more so than Lucian.
Zachary looked at “Penelope” with a hint of admiration in his eyes. “Not bad”
Allison said, “Thank you for the compliment.”
Miranda suggested, “All right, we’ve played enough chess. Let’s go sit outside. Jason and Aldan will be here soon.
Kamilla was the first to express her excitement. “Aidan is coming too?”
Following Lucian, Allison said, “I won”
Lucian stopped in his tracks, and she almost bumped into his back.
She touched her nose
Lucian said, “I didn’t know you could play chess.”
Allison’s eyes darkened
There’s so much you don’t know, Lucian…
“So, now you know? She lowered her voice on purpose, imitating Penelope’s voice. After all the years in the Flanagan family, she could imitate Penelope perfectly
Lucian turned around, and suddenly he reached out-
Allison instinctively moved back.
The man took off her sunglasses, revealing the face he knew so well.
It was Penelope, no doubt about it. But there was a sense of unfamiliarity.
