Chapter 968 Adrian (1/2)

”Hello, Mrs. An, I have been waiting for your arrival. It's really nice to see you.”

”Hello! It's nice to see you too. Do you know where my grandpa is?”

Carla stepped into Arthur's room only to find one of the servants cleaning it.

”Yes Mrs. An, I do know where he is. Sir Adrian and Sir Arthur are playing chess near the western garden. I'd be glad to take you to them if you'd like.” Arthur's young male servant came closer to Carla and bowed to her.

”Wait, did you say 'Sir Adrian'? Isn't he Lucia's grandfather?”

Carla couldn't help but ask in confusion.

”Indeed, you are correct, Mrs. An. And he visited your grandfather for a round of chess.” The servant looked up at Carla as he nodded.

Carla raised her hand to indicate the servant to stop bowing and stand up straight. ”Yes please. Could you guide me to them? I need to talk to my grandpa.”

Although she needed to have a word with Arthur, she wanted to see what Adrian looked like since she had never seen him in person.

It didn't take Carla more than five minutes to figure out Adrian's purpose for coming, mainly because these were tense times for all of them.

The atmosphere in the western garden was fully surrounded by an intense and vibrant aroma that came from the Osmanthus flowers.

”I can't believe that you still use the same moves after all these years. Ha-ha!”

The wind carried the bouts of laughter all around the garden. ”And I thought that I was terrible at this game. The years are getting heavy on you brother!”

A rook was being held in the hand of another elderly man whom Carla assumed was Adrian. He and Arthur were chatting and playing with such enthusiasm.

Arthur reached out to rub his grey beard as he sighed with a smirk on his face while sitting opposite Adrian. ”You're just five years younger than me. What are you talking about!”

”You've heard the saying my brother, every dog has its day. And today is mine.” There wasn't a moment that Adrian wasn't smiling.

Arthur still played along by moving his chess piece with determination as he smiled.
