Divorced but Delighted

Chapter 268 Have a Try

In the Barton family in Los Angeles.

After seeing off the distinguished guests, the small yard returned to its usual quietness.

What was even rarer was that William didn’t argue with his father, nor did he want to leave. He even had a chess game with Charle.

William was originally playing chess with Harold, but unfortunately, he couldn’t think straight. After losing several games in a row, he quit.

It just so happened that Jaquan’s game with his father was over because Jaquan hád something to do in the company.

To everyone’s surprise, the usually cold-hearted Charle softened his tone and tentatively asked William if he wanted to play a few rounds.

Not to mention William, even Sarah and the others who came over to have afternoon

tea and cake with them were shocked.

Charle, who had always been dignified, had never spoken to his son in such a tone.

They had always been strictly regulated. As a result, the usual casual chitchat became the standard for lecturing. The family atmosphere became worse and worse because of the children’s growing up. They could not even get together even if it was during the

Christmas.

Fortunately, Cierra was back now, which made the family look like a family.

“Since Dad wants to play two rounds, William, just give it a try. Since you can’t beat Harold, you will not lose to an old man, will you?”

Cierra held onto Will’s hand and encouraged William. She even pulled out the chair to watch the battle.

William snorted. “I’ll give it a try. Why should I be afraid of him?”

William was a man who could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force. Since Charle asked him in such a tone, he couldn’t put on a haughty attitude and naturally softened his attitude.

The chess pieces were ready quickly.

Charle asked William to make the first move.

The latter was aggressive and did not play according to the conservative rules. He took offense as defense.

The game of chess quickly entered the stage of fighting between the two sides.

Cierra didn’t know much about chess, but she was watching with great interest.

The scene also attracted the attention of the two old men next to them. They stopped the mess in their hands, and they poked their heads out and pondered in their hearts.
