Chapter 536 Will She Lose Badly

Kenneth was delighted because all four of his great-grandchildren were cute and outstanding.

“Get some candies, ice-creams, and cakes for the kids…” The butler quickly ran into the kitchen upon

listening to Kenneth’s order.

Apparently, Kenneth was very fond of them.

However, Natalie couldn’t agree with Kenneth’s overindulgence toward the children and argued

determinedly, “Old Mr. Bowers, since Franklin and Sophia are still young, they might become obese from

eating too much sweets. Besides, the food isn’t good for their health, and they might get tooth decay.”

Kenneth refused to heed her advice and said overbearingly, “It’s okay. I’ll be happy as long as they’re

happy. I don’t care how you usually teach them. However, since they’re here, I must pamper them and let

them eat anything they want.”

Oh dear…

Natalie wanted to continue arguing with Kenneth; nonetheless, she held her tongue when she saw his

flushed face.

Once Kenneth turned around to get the chessboard ready, Natalie pointed at the children, signaling them

not to eat so much.

The smart children instantly understood what Natalie meant.

After a while, the sweets and cakes were served, and the chessboard had been put in place.

Among all the kids, only Xavian knew how to play Go.

While eating walnut cookies, Sophia murmured, “Isn’t Great-grandpa very good at playing Go? Will

Mommy face humiliating defeat?”

Franklin disagreed with it while eating fried cakes. “Don’t worry! I can make a mess out of the

chessboard before Mommy loses. In that case, Great-grandpa can’t win and say unpleasant words to

her!”

Clayton roughly knew that Natalie was a good Go player; nevertheless, Xavian was even more confident

about her capability.

“Xavian, can you tell them which rank Mommy is at now?”

Xavian lowered his voice and replied, “You don’t have to worry about Mommy. We can eat the cakes and

watch them play. Besides, it will be too soon to tell the winner and the loser!”

Hence, the kids enjoyed eating the cakes and sweets while watching the game quietly.

By rule, a player had to guess whether the pieces on the other player’s hand were in odd or even

numbers. If the player made the right guess, he could start the game.

When Natalie wanted to grab a few pieces to let Kenneth guess the number, he waved his hand and

said, “No need for that. I’ll let you play with black pieces. You may start the game.”

Deep down, Natalie knew that Kenneth said so because he belittled her.

Remaining reticent, Natalie merely flashed him a faint smile and replied, “Since Old Mr. Bowers has said

so, allow me to pick the black pieces.”

“Sure. Go ahead.”

After giving it some thought, Natalie put down a black piece on the chessboard, thus making the first

move.

Kenneth followed up with a white piece once Natalie completed her move.

As time went by, there were more black and white pieces on the board.

While Natalie’s interval to put down black pieces was roughly the same, Kenneth needed a longer time to

think about every next move.

Besides, Kenneth frowned deeper as time dragged on. He initially thought it would be a simple game but

eventually realized many hidden traps. The seemingly casual moves that Natalie made earlier became

increasingly crucial as the game went on.

Refusing to admit defeat, Kenneth tried his best to resist and break Natalie’s tactics.

As Kenneth was deep in thought, Natalie didn’t disturb him but merely had her tea and ate some cakes.

Kenneth wanted to turn the tide when the game would come to an end soon. However, due to his

impatience, he lost even more pieces.

Kenneth didn’t like to drink and smoke but was particularly obsessed with playing chess.

Although Kenneth underestimated Natalie and didn’t start the game well, he didn’t expect that he would

lose so badly.

Since Kenneth always proclaimed himself as the master of Go, he felt that he would soon lose his

dignity.

In the meantime, the butler could tell that Kenneth was frustrated. Hence, when he poured some tea for

Kenneth, he deliberately swept the pieces away from the chessboard.
