"What is she looking at that’s making her so happy? Is it the ’100,000 Jokes Collection’?" Old Master Black casually asked James Black while placing a chess piece on a spot he had thought of early in the morning.

James Black’s attention had long since shifted from the chessboard to Jane Sampson’s face. Seeing that James’s eyes were not focusing on the board, Old Master Black stealthily moved a chess piece next to him a little.

After moving the piece, Old Master Black sat there crossing his legs and watching Jane Sampson, silently praising his younger self for his excellent choice in securing a good wife for James. From now on, when he plays chess with James, he must invite Jane to sit next to them.

"No, Grandfather, I’m reading about a new drama I will be filming after the year, it’s based on a novel, really interesting," Jane Sampson’s gaze moved from the mobile phone screen toward Old Master Black and said, "I found that the male lead becomes more like James as the story progresses, it’s truly hilarious."

"Then keep watching," Old Master Black nodded and then urged James Black, "Hurry up and play, your lack of focus is disrespectful to your chess partner."

James Black then rubbed Jane Sampson’s head and calmly picked up a chess piece to make his move.

However, at a quick glance toward the chess board, the corner of James Black’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, and then he looked up at Old Master Black.

"You sure do show great respect to your chess partners," James Black said as he placed his piece and then slowly moved the displaced piece back to its original spot.

Old Master Black has no other hobbies except for fishing and playing chess.

Having been influenced from a young age by Old Master Black, James had become a master player while still young. As a defender with an excellent memory, it would be a shame if he didn’t notice a chess piece had been moved.

Old Master Black, blocked by James’s words, couldn’t speak and was fuming, puffing his cheeks and glaring. After a while, he muttered, "No respect for the old or love for the young."

Jane Sampson continued to lean against James’s back, laughing heartily as if she didn’t have a care in the world. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The game of chess ended with Old Master Black losing. He glared at James and exclaimed that he was going upstairs for a lunch break, then stormed off.

James chuckled softly. As Old Master Black got older, his personality seemed more childlike, gradually losing the sternness he had in his youth.

Once Old Master Black had shut the room door, James slowly began to pack up the chessboard. Then he turned around and picked up the person lazing against him, carefully placing her on the sofa.

"Put on your coat, I’m taking you to see a movie." After speaking, James saw that Jane Sampson sitting on the sofa didn’t respond to him. After a moment’s thought, he suddenly snatched Jane Sampson’s mobile phone, kept a stern face, and asked, "Didn’t you hear me?"

"Ah! You’re so annoying!" Jane Sampson slapped James Black’s arm and said, "I heard you. Didn’t I tell you before the meal I didn’t want to go out?"

Then she stretched out her fair, delicate hand toward James Black, pouting, "Give me back my phone!"

"Movie or playground, choose one." James naturally took Jane Sampson’s outstretched hand in a fingers interlocked grip.

This action made Jane Sampson pause briefly, yet, the words she spoke suddenly brought her back to her senses.
