Kylee said, &#8220;There&#8217;s no need to bring gifts. Here is your home. We have everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are from my client,&#8221; Audrey said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Someone brings in these things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A servant came forward, taking them from Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee asked Everett, the butler beside her, &#8220;Everett, is Bryson home?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Madam Cordova, I just called Mr. Bryson. He said he was on his way back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, tell the kitchen to prepare the dinner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, Ma&#8217;am.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>While waiting for dinner, Kylee and Audrey were playing gobang in the living room.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee wanted to take back moves again. And she had done that several times.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee said, &#8220;It&#8217;s a false move. I want to undo it&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey didn&#8217;t dare to say anything.<\/p>\n<p>Everett walked over.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Madam Cordova.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s the matter?&#8221; Kylee undid the move with satisfaction, and then she took another move.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Miss Alma&#8217;s here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Which Miss Alma?&#8221; Kylee stared at the chessboard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She sent you to the hospital when you fainted last time.&#8221; Everett reminded her.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing who Everett was talking about, Kylee said, &#8220;It&#8217;s her. Invite her in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After Everett left, Kylee looked at Audrey with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Elliana, when Miss Alma comes, help me see if she&#8217;s a right person!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A right person?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes!&#8221; Kylee sighed, &#8220;Bryson&#8217;s thirty years old. But &#8230; he&#8217;s not married yet. He doesn&#8217;t have a girlfriend, let alone a fianc\u00e9e. I&#8217;m old, and I don&#8217;t have a great-grandson. I&#8217;m anxious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kylee&#8217;s eyes gleamed as she said, &#8220;Miss Alma is a good and nice-looking girl that comes from a good family. So, I want Bryson to meet her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey nodded in understanding what Kylee meant.<\/p>\n<p>It was a blind date.<\/p>\n<p>Nataly and Nell both complained to Audrey how their parents were desperate to marry them. Their parents thought that 25 was not a young age, so taking them on blind dates for various reasons regardless of the men&#8217;s backgrounds, appearance, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey sympathized with Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Not long after, Everett brought in a girl in a pink dress.<\/p>\n<p>She had beautiful features, her long black hair hanging down by her side. And she looked slender in the dress.<\/p>\n<p>Alma looked around with her beautiful eyes. Then, she nodded to Kylee, saying in a soft voice, &#8220;Good evening, Madam Cordova.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At first glance, Alma was a well-educated lady with good manners.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee looked at Alma with satisfaction, &#8220;Alright, come over and sit down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alma moved to Kylee&#8217;s side and sat down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Madam Cordova, how are you feeling now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m feeling well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Women always felt threatened when facing other, more beautiful women.<\/p>\n<p>Alma turned her eyes upon Audrey, who was also beside Kylee.<\/p>\n<p>Then, Audrey and Alma started to play.<\/p>\n<p>Alma was proficient at go.<\/p>\n<p>She suggested playing go because she wanted to win Audrey&#8217;s favor by losing.<\/p>\n<p>In the middle of the game, however, Alma discovered that Audrey was also an expert. Even if Alma did her best, she was still at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n<p>Alma didn&#8217;t take it lightly anymore. Instead, she went all out against Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>It was a game between experts. Their focus was both on the chessboard.<\/p>\n<p>And they didn&#8217;t notice that Bryson had come into the living room.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee was looking down at the chessboard when she noticed her grandson.<\/p>\n<p>She smiled, about to say something.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson placed his finger on his lips to stop her. So, Kylee remained silent.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson and Kylee watched the game beside Audrey and Alma.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey looked leisurely, while Alma would rack her brain from time to time, holding her piece and putting her chin on her hand.<\/p>\n<p>Now came the crucial moment.<\/p>\n<p>After Audrey, Alma was thinking about where to move.<\/p>\n<p>However, taking a closer look at the chessboard, Alma sighed with relief.<\/p>\n<p>She looked at Audrey with a tired face, &#8220;You are so good at this. I lost.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey smiled and said, &#8220;Miss Alma let me win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alma looked embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>She took it lightly at the beginning, but later she found that she didn&#8217;t rival Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>When Alma saw Bryson, who was behind Audrey, she smiled, &#8220;Mr. Bryson, you are back?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey turned her head in surprise, seeing Bryson standing behind her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3341","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
