Chapter 978 His Boss Is Very Protective of His Wife

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.
