Meanwhile, Mark was happily playing a game of chess with Natasha. The reason he was happy was definitely not because he got to play chess with her. Instead, it was because Stanley was spending time with Sophia at that moment.

Cooper’s daughter will finally become part of the Fletchers! Woody was old and the Mitchell family was unreliable. If Sophia married into the Fletcher family, she would have a place to live in the future. Even after I die, at least Stanley and the Fletchers will be able to protect her.

He was already fond of Sophia in the first place and Stanley had already expressed his liking as well. Mark had intended to get the two of them together and now that he found out Sophia was Cooper’s daughter, it all seemed perfect! Besides, he felt rest assured to let Stanley take care of Sophia.

However, if Mark ever found out that Stanley was spending his time with Sophia by dragging her to his house and playing games, he would probably cough up blood in anger.

Truth be told, Mark didn’t like to play chess with Natasha. She went easy on him that day as usual so he wasn’t excited to play at all. After a short while, he easily won and Natasha pretended to exclaim in shock, “Old Master Fletcher, you won again! Your skills have not deteriorated with age. I can only wish I was as good as you.”

Mark chuckled insincerely and replied, “Yes, you’re right.”

At the end of the day, Natasha was too young and naïve. Even if she wanted to pretend, the look of admiration should be reflected in her eyes. Mark, who had been around for almost a hundred years, could tell she was acting at a glance. In short, he didn’t like Natasha.

As for Natasha, she patiently played a few games of chess with Mark and let him win easily every time, all the while thinking she was making him happy. After a few rounds, she started to reveal her cunning side.

As she played, she casually asked, “Old Master Fletcher, I heard that Uncle Cooper came to visit you ten years ago and gave you something. Do you remember what it was?”

Something from Cooper? Hmph! I knew that she had a purpose to her visit.
