Having dodged Mark's probing, Kayla let out a quiet sigh of relief.
That's close.
Her phone pinged with a string of notifications.
Calvin: [Darling, have you had dinner? Check out my meal.]
Calvin sent a photo of his dinner.
Since they got back, Calvin had been shamelessly texting her
like this.
She replied: [Calvin, | told you, stop callingthat.]
It was just one impulsive night. She hadn't agreed to get back together.
But Calvin didn’t care about her boundaries. He was set on sweet-talking her into a good mood.

With Kayla back, John knew Calvin was back, too.

He hadn't played chess in half a month, and the itch was driving him up the wall.

It wasn’t that John couldn't find other opponents, but he found playing with Calvin more fun.
Mark happened to be off work and staying hthat day.
“Grandpa, where are you headed? I'll drive you,” Mark offered.
John’s eyes darted away. “No need. You're not my chauffeur!
“I've got a driver. Con, you rarely get a day off. Relax and stop worrying about me.”
But Mark caught the flicker of evasion in his grandfather's expression and sensed something off.
Watching John’s car pull away, Mark called the butler over. “Has Grandpa been going out a lot lately?”
“Oh, yes, Sir Lewis has been hooked on chess recently.”
Mark raised an eyebrow. “Chess?”
“Yes, sir.”
Mark knew John had a few friends, but not many who played 277

And going out so often lately? It had to be a new friend.
Something didn’t sit right. Mark got in his car, alone, and quietly followed.

He parked across the street and watched John enter a wine club.
Mark’s expression grew unreadable.
“Calvin, you're finally back!” John greeted him.
These days, the person Calvin respected most was his future wife's grandfather.
If not for John’s tip, he and Kayla wouldn't have had this breakthrough.
“John, chess today?” Calvin asked.
Hearing Calvin call him “John,” John knew something was up.
Looked like Calvin had made sprogress.
He let out a mock huff. “We aren't that close yet.”
Calvin just grinned, leading him to the second floor. Valvin

The chessboard still held their unfinished gfrom last time.
John glanced at it. “Where were we last time?”
Calvin chuckled, “Your move, John.”
Despite the scolding, Calvin stuck to calling him John.
No way he was going back now.
John had been waiting for the kid to spill, but Calvin didn’t mention a word about Kayla.
“Calvin, you and Kayla patched things up?”
Calvin shook his head. “Not yet. But she’s textingback
now.”
John shook his head.
That's all he’d managed?
He'd thought they'd made sbig leap.
“You call that progress? You've been at it this long, and that’s all you've got?”
“I'm taking it slow,” Calvin said. “I want Kayla to truly accept

John snorted, but deep down, he felt a grudging respect for Calvin's patience.

Mark knew Calvin was cunning, but he hadn't expected him to play both sides.
Not only was he trying to win Kayla back, but he was also cozying up to their grandfather!
After seeing John leave the wine club, Mark marched inside.
“I need to see your boss,” he told the manager.
The manager froze for a moment, then smiled, “Please wait a moment.”
Calvin cdownstairs and saw Mark's stormy expression. He paused.
Mark didn’t look friendly.
Calvin was curious how Mark had tracked him here.
With his usual smile, Calvin led him upstairs.

Mark narrowed his eyes and scoffed, “Save your sweet talk. I'm not my sister or my grandfather. | don’t fall for
your tricks.
“I'm here to tell you to stay away from my sister.”
Calvin's smile faded slightly. He knew Mark wasn’t easy to win over. Earning his approval would take work.
But before he could speak, Mark cut him off.

The conversation hit a dead end.
Calvin gave a sly smile. “What if Kayla wants me?”
Mark’s gaze turned icy. “Then I'll convince her until she doesn’t.”
Calvin hadn't expected Mark to be such a tough nut to crack.
He didn’t have a sister, just a cousin he wasn’t that close to.
He couldn't fully grasp how protective a brother could be when it cto choosing his sister's future husband.
Mark didn’t stay long. Having said what he cto say, he left.
