Mr. Griffin nodded as he listened. Then, he packed away the herbs together with the maid.

Old Master Crawford had just finished the fourth game of chess with Luke. He looked at the chessboard and grumbled, "I give up, I give up. I can't beat you at all."

Luke, placing his chess pieces down, replied, "Grandpa, you've been playing chess in the park all this time. Your skills should've improved."

"I play with those old guys, but none of them can beat me. They're slow. How can my skills improve? You should come back and play with me whenever you have time. Otherwise, how will my chess skills improve?" complained Old Master Crawford, feeling helpless.

Having played chess for decades, he found himself unable to beat his grandson, who had little time for the game. It was quite embarrassing.

"Alright, you've had your fun, Grandpa. I have something to discuss with you," said Luke as he placed the tidied chessboard aside.

Old Master Crawford's custom-made chess board was a cherished possession. The old master saw Luke placing it aside casually. He picked it up and said, "Let's go to my study. I have something to tell you."

The grandfather and grandson stood up. Old Master Crawford handed the chessboard to Luke and warned him, "Hold onto it properly. Don't drop it. It's custom-made. It's precious."

Luke had no choice but to carry the chessboard as they both walked into the study.

Tommy looked up at his great-grandfather and Luke, then something came across his mind. He asked, "Ms. Luca, can we watch cartoons?"

"Yes, sure," replied Luca, realizing it was time for their cartoon show.

She had been busy telling the cook and Mr. Griffin about the herbs, while Luke and Old Master Crawford were playing chess earlier. They had all overlooked the fact that it was time for the kids to watch cartoons.

Understanding that the adults had things to attend to, the kids stayed silent.

Luca turned on the TV, tuned it to the cartoon channel, and said, "Just catch up on the show for now.
