Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3054

Old Master Crawford usually rested at 10:00 pm.

When Old Master Crawford heard Mr. Griffin’s reminder, he picked up his phone, glanced at it, and exclaimed, "How time flies!"

"Old Master Crawford, you should rest early." Luca smiled. She had played several rounds of chess with Old Master Crawford, but she still could not defeat him.

"No, you haven't beaten me yet." Old Master Crawford shook his head, eager to set up the chessboard again.

Luca felt helpless. "Old Master Crawford, you're a skilled chess player. There’s no way I can win the game."

She was not much of a chess player to begin with, so for someone like Old Master Crawford, who played regularly, winning against him was simply out of the question for her.

Mr. Griffin chuckled and reminded, "Old Master Crawford, you have a chess appointment tomorrow. You must rest well tonight to have the energy to play tomorrow."

His words jogged Old Master Crawford's memory.

He had scheduled to play chess with an elderly friend at the park the next day, dedicating the entire Sunday to the game.

Old Master Crawford pondered for a moment and decided to let Luca off. He said, "Alright, let's call it a night. Luca, you should play more chess and get Luke to teach you in the future."

"Sure." Luca smiled helplessly.

Playing chess with the old man was enjoyable, but winning against him was challenging. It was a fact she was well aware of.

Old Master Crawford turned to look at Nina and said, "Nina, you too. Whenever you have time, learn how to play chess with Percy. Now that you're my god-granddaughter, you should visit Crawford Manor often and keep me company for a game of chess."

Nina was pleasantly surprised. After all, Old Master Crawford only acknowledged her as his god-granddaughter due to Luke's suggestion so that the Mallory family would not dare to lay a finger on her.

She thought it was just a casual remark and to do Percy a favor. Now, it seemed Old Master Crawford meant it more seriously. At the very least, he acknowledged her as his god-granddaughter.

"Yes, Grandpa. You should rest early," replied Nina while helping to tidy up the chessboard.

After the chessboard was kept properly, Luca pointed in the direction of the maid's room on the first floor. She said, "Mr. Griffin, you’ll have to stay in the maid's room tonight. I hope it's not too inconvenient for you."

"Not at all. I appreciate your help in preparing everything. I'll assist Old Master Crawford in going to bed first and then head downstairs," replied Mr. Griffin as he helped Old Master Crawford upstairs.

Luca and Nina immediately followed behind them.

After they reached the second floor, Luca pointed at the bedroom where Old Master Crawford would rest for the night.

Mr. Griffin helped Old Master Crawford into the room.

Nina stood at the side. After watching Old Master Crawford enter the bedroom, she returned to the guest room.

Luca gently pushed open the doors to the children's rooms to ensure they were all in bed before returning to her bedroom.

Luke was sitting by the bed, reviewing some documents.

Luca was surprised. "Weren't you working in the study?"

"Yes, I've finished the computer work. I brought the remaining documents over here to review,” answered Luke as he lifted the folder in his hand.

Luca nodded without saying much. She opened the wardrobe to find her pajamas.

"Has Grandpa gone to bed?" asked Luke.

"Yes. He has a chess game scheduled for tomorrow. That’s why he agreed to rest at this hour," Luca replied helplessly. She glanced back at Luke and added, "If you had played chess with Old Master Crawford, he wouldn't have asked me to play with him for half the evening."

Luke chuckled. He knew that in any other situation, Old Master Crawford would not choose to play chess with Mr. Griffin.

It was usually Mr. Griffin who accompanied the old master to play chess, so the old man would definitely make anyone else play with him if given the chance.

"I'll go freshen up." Luca noticed that Luke had already changed into pajamas and assumed that he had already taken a shower. She took her clothes and headed into the bathroom.

After washing up, she walked out of the bathroom and sat in front of the dressing table, where her skincare products were neatly arranged.
