Old Master Rayne lost two straight games to Luke. He patted Lanie's cheek and said, "But I'm better than your Great-Grandpa!"
"Nonsense! I'm the one who taught Luke how to play chess. If you can't beat him, then you're not better than me!" Old Master Crawford was not willing to admit defeat.
"And the student surpasses the master. Luke is a better player than you. If you don't believe me, you can stay here for the night, and I'll play you until you're satisfied," Old Master Rayne said. He usually played chess alone, and Old Master Crawford rekindled his interest.
"Challenge accepted. After dinner, I'll show you who's the better player!" Old Master Crawford was determined to win.
"Let's eat," Luke reminded them.
"Right, let's have dinner. We shouldn't let the children starve." Old Master Rayne pushed himself up with the help of the table and his walking stick.
His physical condition had declined after the operation, and he could only walk with the help of a walking stick. Bianca came out of the kitchen and supported him.
Old Master Rayne patted Bianca's hand and said, "Good girl. I can walk by myself."
"Let me help you, Grandpa." Bianca insisted on helping him walk to the dining table.
The dining table was not big enough to accommodate all the guests, so the children ate at the coffee table while the adults sat around the dining table.
Seeing the happy family, Bianca told herself that she should come and visit her grandfather more often.
After dinner, Old Master Crawford decided to stay the night to play chess with Old Master Rayne.
Luke had no opinion about that. They lingered for a while more before leaving with Wanda's cross-stitch.
While in the car, Rainie asked, "Mommy, can I come to visit Grand-Aunt Wanda more often?"
Bianca turned her head to look at her daughter and said, "Of course. We'll bring you to visit Aunt Wanda whenever we're free."
"Grand-Aunt Wanda's handicrafts are so pretty. She said that she'll teach me the next time I visit her," Rainie said sweetly.
"Great-Grandpa Rayne's also plays better chess than Great-Grandpa Crawford," Lanie added.
Luke smiled when he heard that. "You'd better not let him hear you say that."
Lanie immediately understood. "Yes, Daddy."
Tommy opened his eyes wide. He did not understand what his father meant. "Why shouldn't Great-Grandpa hear that, Daddy?"
"Because we have to respect our elders." Lanie gave a sensible reply.
Bianca smiled when she heard the conversation between the boys but did not say anything. She sent a message to Queenie, saying that she would go over tomorrow to deliver the cross-stitch.
The cross-stitch was about five feet long, and it was a reproduction of a classic piece featuring galloping horses. That was suitable for Jack's status and tastes.
Luke's phone started to ring.
Bianca glanced at it and saw that the call was from Jason. She knew that Jason was calling her husband about work-related matters, and such conversations would usually last for a long time. She took out the Bluetooth headset, helped him put it on his ear, and answered the call.
Luke smiled gently. He was pleased with Bianca's care.
Bianca turned around and placed her finger over her lips, indicating that the children should not disturb their father.
The children nodded and kept quiet.
From what Luke said, Bianca could tell that there was a problem with one of the subsidiaries. She frowned. Ever since Mavis left, Luke had been lacking a capable assistant, and he had to personally attend to the matters of T Corporation's subsidiaries.
Luke was still talking when the car reached home.
