Chapter 614
Alistair said, "It''s our fate to meet each other, miss. Please visit me often in the future." He liked Vania
very much, not because seeing her reminded him of his lost daughter, but because he really liked her
and felt close to her.
Vania also had a good opinion of the kindly old man. "I''ll certainly visit you often when I have time."
Alistair''s smile returned to his face. "That''d be great. Wanna y a game of chess with me?"
"I can only y a little. Please go easy on me, Old Mr. Jones," Vania replied modestly.
"Do your best and let me see how good you are." Alistair loved to y chess more than anything else.
"Hanson is the only person among these kids who can y several rounds of chess with me." He was
not at all chary of praising Hanson. "Hanson,e over and take a look, but don''t say anything."

"Okay." Hanson held Vania in his arms, though he had wanted to help her. After all, Alistair was an
expert chess yer whom few people could beat.
Seeing that Alistair was in the mood to y, everyone gathered around them to watch them y.
However, they were merely looking on; none of them thought that Vania could beat him.
The game of chess started with an ordinary and ssic opening as Vania didn''t ask to y with a
handicap.
Over ten minutester, Alistair put down his teacup and looked at Vania meaningfully. She was still
knitting her brows, pondering over which chess move to make next with a seemingly troubled
expression.
Half an hourter, Alistair began to frown. After an hour, he suddenlyughed. "Haha! Hanson, your
wife is quite amazing."
Hearing the suddenpliment, the others couldn''t figure out what was going on, but Hanson
understood what he meant. "My wife is nothing less than outstanding."
Bryan curled his lips while despising Hanson inwardly. He''s starting to show off again… At this
moment, he became a chess referee. "Grandpa wins by a narrow margin."
The others were surprised. "A narrow margin?" In that case, Vania is indeed quite amazing.
Alistair was stillughing heartily while looking at Vania. "You didn''t go all out. You were thinking about
how to lose the game."
"Huh…" Bryan cried out in surprise when he heard Alistair''s words. "Grandpa, what do you mean by
that?"
Alistair ignored him, though. "A poor chess yer like you doesn''t know anything."
Not daring to speak, Bryan immediately shut up. I''m always the one who gets hurt.
Vania smiled tenderly. "You''re the chess expert here, Old Mr. Jones. All I could think about was how not
to lose the game, so how could I manage to care about that much?"
"Sigh, you''re quite something. Hanson, you''ve found yourself a treasure." Alistair had a high opinion of
Vania. He believed that one could be judged based on the way they yed chess, so he admired her.
"Sigh, you''re quite something. Hanson, you''ve found yourself a treasure." Alistair had a high opinion of

Hanson smiled smugly. Inwardly, he was overjoyed; he never thought his wife would be so good at
chess.
Alistair said, "Vanie, let''s y another game of chess. You have to do your best this time. I want to see
you win." It was rare for him to be so happy. After all, it was a pleasure to meet one''s match in chess in
the first ce.
Vania''s heart thumped when she heard Alistair call her Vanie so naturally. "Okay, I''ll definitely do my
best."
After another tense game of chess, Vania finally won by a wide margin.
Bryanmented with a sigh, "You''re so amazing, Vania! I''m getting more and more impressed." She''s
my idol, alright!
Alistair also kept pping his hands. "I''m so happy today."
Liam looked at Vania with greater surprise.
Just then, the seven little kids stood side by side in front of Alistair. They beat their chests, saying,
"Great-Grandpa, we also know how to y chess. What about we y a game of chess with you?"
"Oh? Okay." Seeing how confident the seven kids looked, Alistairughed even more happily.
