The More the Merrier

Chapter 979

When the two of them got downstairs, Bryan was nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile, the six children were playing chess with Darius.

Arissa walked over with Benjamin and sat down at the side to watch Darius play chess.

After a while, Benjamin's phone rang, so he stood up and went outside to pick up the call.

Arissa only briefly glanced at him before returning her focus to the chess game.

“I think I made the wrong move,” Darius said, regretting his choice and moving to take away the chess piece he had just set down.

“Grandpa, you can't do that! You can't make another move! Zachary cried out as he looked at Darius with a frown.

“He's right! Grandpa, that's cheating!” Oliver chimed in, siding with his brother.

At that, Darius frowned before casting an aggrieved look at his grandchildren. “Can't you just let me do this one time?”

The children turned to him and shook their heads with determination. “You didn't let us do this earlier either, Grandpa!”

Darius froze, his beard twitching. William, who was beside him, smiled, amused by the interaction between the old man and his grandchildren.

Even Arissa was smiling at the scene.

“Sweethearts, just let Grandpa off the hook.”

Too prideful to admit defeat, Darius suddenly said, “No, no! I don't need you to go easy on me. I'll win without your help!”

“Not necessarily.”
