Old Master Crawford put down the vegetable juice and turned to look at the TV. It was replaying the New Year Gala from last night, so he asked, "Isn't this last night's New Year Gala?"

Luca nodded. She smiled and explained, “I fell asleep when I was watching it last night. I didn't manage to finish the show. I turned on the TV and watched the replay when I was bored just now."

"The New Year Gala last night was interesting," Old Master Crawford said. Then, he picked up another snack. It was not a cookie this time but Luca's homemade nougat.

Although it was a nougat, Luca had used a sugar substitute and sugar-free marshmallows.

"Yes. It was awesome. Ms. Luca, how could you have fallen asleep?" Tommy grinned and looked at Luca, waiting for her reply.

Luca was rendered speechless. There was no way she could tell him that she fell asleep while watching the show because it was too quiet.

"It was probably because I did some exercise, so I was tired." Luca found an excuse to brush him off.

Old Master Crawford looked at the TV and said, "Let's watch it again. I don't mind watching such an interesting New Year Gala again."

"Great-grandpa, I'm not watching this. I'd like to go upstairs and play." Tommy was not very interested in the show he had watched before.

"Off you go." Old Master Crawford waved his hand.

Tommy looked at Lanie and Rainie, then he asked, "Lanie, Rainie, are you coming together?"

"Let's go." Lanie rose to his feet. After he was taken to Crawford Manor yesterday, he had yet to touch any books. He wanted to return to his bedroom to read some books.

The three kids left together.

Old Master Crawford stroked his beard and said, "Luke, I've asked Mr. Griffin to bring my chessboard here. Please take it for me. Let's play chess and watch the show together."

"Okay." Luke shifted his gaze that was on Luca and took the chessboard out. He placed the chessboard on the table and played chess with the old master. "Luca, don't sit that far. Come nearer. Sit beside Luke and watch how I defeat him," said Old Master Crawford when he read his grandson's mind.
