Harry and Brandon glanced at Trevor, then at Celeste. As their gazes landed on Wynn, they furrowed their brows.
After a moment of silence, Trevor spoke up. “It’s been a while since you played chess, hasn’t it?”
While examining his setup, she simply nodded and hummed in reply, not looking up.
She barely played chess anymore after marrying him.
“I can tell you’re a little rusty,” Trevor remarked.
Celeste didn’t say anything in reply, her attention fixed on the chessboard.
The game wasn’t going well for her right now.
It looked like there was a promising opening on Trevor’s side, but in truth, his hidden pieces were lying in wait, ready to trap her.
She pondered for a moment. Then, she avoided the trap he had laid and made her move
And now, Trevor was at a disadvantage.
He smirked and, after a long moment, placed his next piece on the board.
The tension in the game increased again.
After several more moves, Celeste was defeated, but it was a close game.
somewhere else.
“Too bad,” Harry mused. “This round was even more exciting than the last, though. She didn’t have the advantage of going first, but in their first match, she managed to understand part of her opponent’s strategy. She repeatedly made moves to counter his attacks while setting hidden pieces to disrupt his plans. For someone so young to have such sharp observation, memory, and control of the game it’s remarkable.”
With that, he turned to Brandon and said firmly, “You wouldn’t be able to beat her either.”
“I know,” Brandon mumbled in reply.
Had he been the one playing with Trevor, he wouldn’t have made it as far as Celeste..
After cleaning up the chess pieces, Celeste stood up, Noticing she seemed done, Trevor asked again, “Another round?”
Upon hearing that, Wynn pursed her lips,
Before Celeste could speak, someone added, “Yeah, the gap is so close; another game and you might win.” “Exactly!”
Celeste, however, shook her head. “No, I’m good.”
The previous game seemed to be very close, almost as if she had figured out Trevor’s strategy halfway.
But honestly, the half–understanding might have been a false impression he purposely created.
With that thought in mind, she left without looking back, making space for others.
And Lucas stepped in to take her place.
Matthias went up to Celeste. “Let’s get something to drink shall we?”

“Okay.”
Harry caught sight of the close relationship between Celeste and Matthias. “The youngest Yoder sure is lucky.”
Brandon nodded in agreement.
Before, they had thought Wynn was impressive. Yet after watching Celeste play twice, they realized she was even more skilled.
When it came to playing chess, there was no comparison–they were in completely different tiers.
With her composed and intelligent demeanor, it was obvious she had a good upbringing. They had thought about asking whether she had a boyfriend, but before they could, Matthias stepped in.
Harry uttered, “Well, they seem like a good match.”
He glanced at Caleb, who was standing beside him when he said that.
Caleb immediately understood what he meant.
With a resigned smile, he watched Celeste and Matthias leave, and then a few seconds later, he turned his gaze away.
After they sat at the pavilion for a while, Lennox and Harvey went up to them.
From their perspectives, Celeste’s choice to play chess with Trevor earlier was a way to get his attention and keep him from divorcing her.
Furthermore, during the game, Trevor seemned to show her more respect, and his attitude was noticeably better than before.
