My Second Husband novel Chapter 68

Anger thrummed through Harry’ s veins upon hearing that. "Why should we do that? We have been working so hard for this opportunity. I will go and meet them regardless." He got up and ordered her, “Pass me my clothes."

Kaylene knew that it was impossible for her to convince Harry otherwise, so she got up and passed his clothes to him.

Harry repeated a few important points of his plan to Kaylene before they departed.

"You watch over my brother after I leave. Stall him if he is looking for me. I’ll be back soon."

"Okay!" Kaylene nodded. After Harry left, she headed to the Old Master’s room with a box in her hands.

Amos’ cell phone rang again.

It was Clint on the phone. He updated him on Harry’ s whereabouts, "The Second Master has gone out and is heading to the West Mountain."

"What about the Cooper family?" asked Amos.

"They are also there now. I feel like they really are desperate to get the deal.”

"Let them be! We will just sit back and enjoy the ‘show’!" Amos hung up the phone and looked at Eudora. "Shall we go?”

Eudora nodded. She had taken enough pictures of the place. They ambled down the road and saw the Old Master playing chess with Kaylene in the yard.

Kaylene was about to lose to the Old Master. Everyone could tell that the Old Master was getting impatient.

Amos raised his eyebrows and walked over to them with Eudora.

Kaylene laughed when she saw them. "Amos, thank God you're here! Your father is indeed an expert in chess. I'm no match for him. Do you want to give it a try?"

Amos rejected her invitation, "I can't really use my hand now."

His hands were still in bandages. Eudora rolled her eyes secretly when she thought of how 'functional' his hands were last night.

"I’m done!" The Old Master put down his pawn and said.

Kaylene became anxious instantly. "I can help you to move the piece if your hands are hurt," Kaylene suggested.

Amos smiled and replied, "Aunt, don't you need to keep uncle company?" Amos could sense her desperation.

"He is asleep..." Kaylene lied. At the same time, the Old Master looked at her and interrupted," Oh, really? Let’s go and see him."

"Brother!" Kaylene stopped him right away. "I wouldn't dare to lie to you! Harry asked me to play chess with you since you have come all the way here. He’s so sorry that he cannot meet you himself."

The Old Master wasn't deceived by Kayleene’s made-up lies. He felt more suspicious seeing her trying so hard to stop him.

"Thank you for being considerate, Kaylene. Since we are done here, let's go and see him now!" said the Old Master as he stood up with his crutch.

The servants behind him quickly came forward to help him while Kaylene followed after him.

"Brother, look! The scenery there is so beautiful. Shall we go there for a while?" Kaylene was not giving up. She continued,

"Someone told me that there’s a beautiful lake over there!”

"Shut up!" The Old Master yelled. He was not going to trust Kaylene again.

Knowing that she had messed up, Kaylene looked at her feet quietly. They passed through the yard and went straight for Harry's room.

As expected, no one was in the room.

The Old Master frowned and asked, "Where is he? Didn't you say that he was sleeping?"
