Chapter 865

Lincoln was completely taken aback. "I lost?"

Morris chimed in, "Uncle, take a look. Didn't you lose?"

Lincoln stared at the chessboard, moving the pieces around. After a moment of disbelief, he looked up at Morris with wide eyes. "You've got some serious talent, kid."

Morris replied modestly, "Just got lucky, I guess."

Lincoln patted his shoulder. "Luck or not, beating me says you're no dummy."

Then, a thought struck him about Morris's time in prison, and a wave of unease swept over him. After all, there's a saying: it's not the street-smart ruffians you need to fear, but the educated ones. His daughter spending time with a morally questionable, highly intelligent ex-con? The idea made him uneasy.

Lincoln's gaze shifted from admiration to caution as he looked at Morris. Nathalie cheered, "Dad, you lost! Next week, I'm officially in vacation mode!" Lincoln asked, "Vivian, with such a long break, what are you planning to do?" "Traveling, of course!"

"Where are you planning on going?" Lincoln's curiosity was piqued. "Where to?" "Maybe Malta."

Lincoln probed further, "And who are you going with?"

Nathalie pointed directly at Morris.

Lincoln immediately protested, "Absolutely not. You can go with anyone, anyone but him."
