The More the Merrier novel Chapter 980

Chapter 980

Arissa chuckled under her breath when she saw Benjamin's exasperated expression.

In response, Benjamin gave her a side-eye.

Arissa quickly averted her gaze to watch the old man play chess with Oliver.

Then, Benjamin walked over to her and wrapped his arm around her waist. He whispered by her ear through gritted teeth, “Were you laughing at me earlier?”

Arissa quickly shook her head as her survival instincts kicked in.

“Nope!”

Benjamin scoffed doubtfully.

Arissa stole another glance, meeting the man's deep eyes. Thus, she swiftly and guiltily averted her gaze again.

When Benjamin gave her waist a light pinch, Arissa flinched.

Then, she whipped her head around to shoot him a warning look.

Benjamin arched his brow and gazed at her, the look in his eyes as dark and deep as the ocean.

Right then, Oliver ecstatically blurted out, “Haha! Grandpa, I won!”

The rest of the children clapped and cheered.

“We told you Oliver's going to win, but you didn't believe us, Grandpa!”

Darius did not know how to react at that moment. “Let's do it again!” he said.

Oliver eyed his grandfather and asked, “Again, Grandpa?”

“Make it quick!”

Refusing to accept defeat, Darius gestured for Oliver to continue.

Thus, Oliver had no choice but to keep playing against Darius, but in no time, Darius lost again.

“Another!” Darius insisted.

The children found it hilarious.

At the sight of the children's seriousness, Arissa sighed inwardly and wondered, Can't the kids play along with their grandpa and let him win just once?

On the other hand, upon seeing Darius' refusal to admit defeat, Benjamin commented, “You need to admit defeat if you're lousier than him.”

Darius glared at him. “Shut up. You're disrupting my game!”

Arissa snorted before chiming in, “That's right. Shut up, Benjamin.”

Benjamin narrowed his eyes, and Arissa looked away, pretending as if she had not seen the man's warning look.

Darius was feeling simultaneously gloomy and thrilled after losing several times against Oliver.

I never thought Oliver would be this great in chess!
