Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 66

Chapter 66 H, Is That You?

Elise shook her head and didn’t think much about his words. Then, she took out her phone to hail a ride home.

When she arrived at the Griffith Residence, Jonah was engaged in a game of chess with Alexander. They were both surprised when they saw her. “Ellie, you’re back so suddenly! You should’ve told us beforehand and I’ll get Alex to fetch you.”

Elise explained, “It’s fine; there’s not much difference if I return on my own.”

Jonah beckoned to her. “Come, let me have a good look at you. I haven’t seen you in half a month! Ellie, you seem to be thinner! You must be tired from all of your studying. Stella, prepare some chicken soup for Ellie, won’t you?”

Stella hastily replied, “Understood, sir.”

“Ellie, come have a game with me,” he invited. At that, Alexander, who was seated opposite Jonah, rose to his full height and allowed Elise to take over his place.

As Elise had previously learned the ropes with Robin, she was aware of the general rules since she was half a beginner herself.

“Alex, please watch the game for us. Don’t let her lose terribly.”

Alexander nodded. “All right, Grandpa.”

Thus, with Alexander as her support, Elise felt a little more confident. However, it was only reasonable to lose when the opponent was a master like Jonah. They played three rounds, all of which she had lost.

She was upset as she asked Alexander, “Didn’t Grandpa ask you to watch the game? Can’t you help me win for once?”

He simply replied, “It’s bad manners to comment on the game from the sidelines.”

Inasmuch as Elise wanted to say something, she found that Alexander had a point.

“All right, Ellie. You fought well. You were always exceptionally close to winning and I even thought you might be doing it on purpose.”

She stuck her tongue out mischievously. “I’m not as good as you say, Grandpa.”
