Feeling confident at once, Irene greeted Sophia, “Your chess skills really were an eye-opener for me when we played chess last time. Let’s play another round of chess when we have time.”

“That’s for sure. We must play another round of chess together when we’re free, but it’s too bad that today’s occasion isn’t quite suitable for playing chess.” Sophia still smiled with innocence. Then, she instructed, “Give up your seat, Stan.”

Stanley was confused as he listened to the two ladies’ conversation when he suddenly heard Sophia calling his name. Startled, he opened his mouth and wanted to ask why, but upon thinking of the situation right now, he immediately stood up with his tail between his legs. He said to Irene, “Please come and have a seat, Aunt Irene.”

Irene came over and sat down while teasing, “Didn’t I tell you many times to call me Irene?”

Stanley gave her a foolish chuckle before seating himself on the sofa beside her. As soon as he left, the rest of those sitting on the sofa walked away immediately as well. Gosh, this is so scary! We must go away quickly lest we get splattered all over with blood if they come to blows later.

With that thought in mind, everyone moved to the sofa opposite the trio and watched as they sat together in a strange atmosphere.

Sophia finally got down from Michael’s lap and sat between him and Irene. Unexpectedly, she started to chat with Irene, saying, “I loved the song you sang at the New Year Dinner Gala so much, Irene. I even sat in front of the TV all night to wait for you that day!” However, what she said sounded fake and unconvincing, for her face darkened right away back when Irene appeared at the New Year Dinner Gala that day…

Irene smiled shyly. “That was the second time I performed at the New Year Dinner Gala ever since my debut, so I was still a little nervous. Luckily, Michael was there, and he soothed my nerves by talking to me for a little while.”
