Divorce Time 233

Chapter 233

Charlene was going over their chess match in her head when something caught her attention.

Just then, she overheard Vesta saying, "Quintin, after watching your game, I'm really tempted to give it a try, but I'm afraid I'm not quite skilled enough yet to take on Thorne."

"Oh, don't worry about it," Quintin chuckled. "I was just joking earlier. If you're interested, go for it."

Vesta was about to respond when someone chimed in with a laugh, "If Ms. Hawkins is playing, the outcome really is anyone's guess, haha."

"Exactly! Even if Mr. Henderson is a chess whiz, if he beats Ms. Hawkins, he might end up sleeping on the couch when he gets home," another quipped.

The crowd erupted in laughter at the comment.

Quintin hadn't realized there was a connection between Vesta and Thorne. Looking at Vesta, who was strikingly beautiful and carried herself with confidence, he could see why she was a good match for Thorne. With a teasing grin, he turned to Thorne and said, "Oh? Well, in that case, I'm eager to see if you can keep your cool like you do against us old-timers when you're playing in front of your girlfriend."
