Chapter 179

She often misses the good old days when she was a kid.

Lucian’s chess style is not brutal but a more “gentle” assault on the black pieces. Every move George

makes is incredibly cautious as if he’s afraid of making a single misstep But this caution often leads to

mistakes

The more you try not to make mistakes, the more likely you are to make them.

The first game ended in a draw

Both sides fought hard on the board, with no clear winner in the end.

Even if they played for another two hours, who would win wouldn’t be clear.

Then came the second game.

Clearly, George became more cautious.

He seemed hesitant with his moves.

Every move he made was incredibly cautious.

Allison was also watching carefully, noticing that the white pieces seemed to have gained some

advantage in the game.

But Lucian seemed a bit hesitant too. He wanted to attack decisively but also wanted to give his

opponent a chance. This allowed George to balance the game again.

Kamilla watched from the side, totally clueless

Every move Lucian made afterward was even more cautious.

But he still made a mistake. Just as he was about to make a move, a hand gently tugged at his sleeve.

Her movements were so light, as if unnoticed.

Lucian seemed to snap back to reality. His next move landed precisely on George’s weak spot.

He was surprised. He hadn’t expected “Penelope to be such an excellent player, able to spot George’s

bluff at a glance.

He might have lost the game if “Penelope hadn’t tugged at his sleeve, silently reminding him..

He saw “Penelope standing behind him, quietly observing the board. It seemed as if she hadn’t been

the one to remind him.

Lucian felt a sense of admiration.

He knew too little about “Penelope“.

Although she had a bit of a temper, he hadn’t expected her to be such a good chess player.

George was also looking at this woman in sunglasses and then said, “It’s your turn for the third game.”

Allison was surprised, ‘Me?”

She waved her hand, “No, I can’t.”

She wasn’t confident she could beat George.

Just before, she had spotted a flaw in George’s play in a moment of excitement. Plus, Lucian was a

skilled, thoughtful player. She had just given him a little reminder.

She wasn’t confident she could win if she were really to play

Lucian stood up and bowed his head, his handsome profile near her. “If you lose, I’ll drink for you”

Allison blushed

His breath fell on her face, her eyelashes fluttered. She clenched her fingers tightly, “Okay”

Actually, she was kind of excited to try

Kamilla didn’t understand chess, so she didn’t recognize “Penelope’s skill. She thought Lucian was just

letting “Penelope” take his place in the third game. She complained, “Why are you letting her play? If

she loses, Lucian, you’ll have to drink a lot tonight!”

Lucian just smiled slightly, his gaze falling on the black and white board.

Allison took up the white pieces, wearing her sunglasses. Her gaze was firm yet gentle, “George, let’s

start.”

She really did want to play chess.

It had been long since she last played, she hoped her skills weren’t rusty.

It was a rare opportunity to play chess here.

George nodded. “Penélope, go easy on me.”

Allison smiled lightly. “George, you’re joking”

In this game, Allison was a bit nervous. If she lost, it would mean Lucian lost. Although she was

confident in her chess skills, she also felt a bit rusty from disuse.
