Chapter 3052 The Fear Of Getting Caught Red-Handed

Old Master Crawford usually rested at 10:00 pm.

When Old Master Crawford heard Mr. Griffin's reminder, he picked up his phone, glanced at it, and exclaimed, "How time flies!"

"Old Master Crawford, you should rest early." Luca smiled. She had played several rounds of chess with Old Master Crawford, but she still could not defeat him.

"No, you haven't beaten me yet." Old Master Crawford shook his head, eager to set up the chessboard again.

Luca felt helpless. "Old Master Crawford, you're a skilled chess player. There's no way I can win the game."

She was not much of a chess player to begin with, so for someone like Old Master Crawford, who played regularly, winning against him was simply out of the question for her.

Mr. Griffin chuckled and reminded, "Old Master Crawford, you have a chess appointment tomorrow. You must rest well tonight to have the energy to play tomorrow."

His words jogged Old Master Crawford's memory.

He had scheduled to play chess with an elderly friend at the park the next day, dedicating the entire Sunday to the game.

Old Master Crawford pondered for a moment and decided to let Luca off. He said, "Alright, let's call it a night. Luca, you should play more chess and get Luke to teach you in the future."

"Sure." Luca smiled helplessly.

Playing chess with the old man was enjoyable, but winning against him was challenging. It was a fact she was well aware of.

Old Master Crawford turned to look at Nina and said, "Nina, you too. Whenever you have time, learn how to play chess with Percy. Now that you're my god- granddaughter, you should visit Crawford Manor often and keep me company for a game of chess."

Nina was pleasantly surprised. After all, Old Master Crawford only acknowledged her as his god-granddaughter due to Luke's suggestion so that the Mallory family would not dare to lay a finger on her.

She thought it was just a casual remark and to do Percy a favor. Now, it seemed Old Master Crawford meant it more seriously. At the very least, he acknowledged her as his god-granddaughter.

"Yes, Grandpa. You should rest early," replied Nina while helping to tidy up the chessboard.

After the chessboard was kept properly, Luca pointed in the direction of the maid's room on the first floor. She said, "Mr. Griffin, you'll have to stay in the maid's room tonight. I hope it's not too inconvenient for you."

"Not at all. I appreciate your help in preparing everything. I'll assist Old Master Crawford in going to bed first and then head downstairs," replied Mr. Griffin as he helped Old Master Crawford upstairs.
