Old Master Crawford did not bother insisting on their stay. "Alright then. Off you go. I have trouble walking so I'm afraid I can't send you off."

"It's no trouble. I'll come for our game of chess when I have the time," said Old Master Bourne as he rose to his feet.

Lonnie had no choice but to stand up and leave with Old Master Bourne, no matter his reluctance.

Mr. Griffin carried the chessboard and walked towards the old master. Upon noting Old Master Bourne and Lonnie's absence, he was confused. “Where is Old Master Bourne and Mr. Jackman?”"

"Something came up. They left.” explained Old Master Crawford as he sipped his tea. "Where are the kids?"

"They saw you greeting the guest so they went upstairs to read," replied Mr. Griffin. He looked down at the chessboard in his hands and asked, "Shall I put the chessboard away?"

"No. Come and play a few games with me," said Old Master Crawford. He pointed at the sofa next to him, insisting Mr. Griffin take a seat.

Mr. Griffin smiled kindly. He shook his head, "I can't beat you."

"I'm bored. It's just to kill some time," said Old Master Crawford nonchalantly as he narrowed his eyes.

"Alright." said Mr. Griffin before placing the chessboard on the coffee table and taking a seat to commence their game of chess.

On the other hand.

After Old Master Bourne and Lonnie left the room, they went straight back to the car and instructed the chauffeur to leave.

It wasn't until they left Crawford manor, only then did Lonnie say, "I should have brought something with me."

He prepared lots of gift for Old Master Bourne and Old Master Crawford. However, Old Master Bourne did not accept them.

When he learned of Lonnie's intention to give Old Master Crawford some gifts, he immediately stopped him and told him not to bring anything.
