Grayson coldly glanced at Cassey.
"What's with that stare?" Cassey shrank her neck. "Am I not allowed to say that?"
Although Grayson was her younger brother in terms of identity, they usually got along as though he was the elder brother. Hence, she would still get pretty afraid when Grayson stared at her.
On the chessboard, Theo had only a bishop left. He looked at me and asked in a tender voice, "Any plans for this afternoon?"
"Ho," I indifferently replied and moved my rook, aiming straight for his bishop.
Theo was nonchalant about it and generously allowed me to take his bishop.
Cassey speechlessly walked away. whereas Petra said, "Why don’t the two of you go to the water park with Munchkin today? He has been talking about it since forever."
Theo nodded. "Sure. It's been a long time since I've taken a walk too."
"I'll pass. I still have things to do."
Petra and Theo both turned to look at me. Petra asked a little curiously, "What kind of things are you going to do?"
I looked at the chessboard and took Theo's queen, then blandly said, "I want to visit Carlson. I haven't seen Susan and her baby for a long time as well."
Petra frowned. "There's no hurry. You're finally back, so it would be great if you and Mr. Grant can take Munchkin out."
I pursed my lips. "But I've already told Tyler about it. It won't be good if I don’t go."
Petra wanted Theo and me to hang out, so she said, "In that case, why don't you and Mr. Grant both take Munchkin there together? He hasn't met Tyler’s baby yet and really loves children. He'll be really happy if you take him with you."
"I think Munchkin should just stay here with Pudding. Pudding's a baby too, so there won't be much of a difference.
Besides, he's now at a mischievous age. I'm worried that he'll make a mess if he goes. I can go by myself.”
