Chapter 73: Cedric, an outsider!?
Ch-72
"Checkmate!" Aiden announced as he ended the game.
"You are a great player, Master Zora. I will learn this and would defeat you one day," Cedric said sincerely.
Aiden laughed heartily.
"I wanted to ask you a lot of questions. But seeing your nervousness, I believed you can’t give me the correct answers," Aiden said, scaring Cedric slightly again.
"So... I played this game to evaluate you," Aiden added. Cedric didn’t understand how a person can evaluate someone with a single game.
"Sir, did I pass?" Cedric asked. He was a lot more comfortable than the previous time but he was still slightly nervous.
"Hmm... she is a fool sometimes. Take care of her. You can get married anytime but the wedding should await till my son wakes up. If she agrees you can get your marriage registered soon." Aiden said.
Cedric felt a wave of happiness hitting him. Feeling ecstatic, he wanted to jump and dance in joy. But he held his urges as he tried to pose himself as a perfect son-in-law.
"But..." Aiden started. He dropped a big mountain on Cedric’s head with the word but. He wondered if using the word ’but’ was in their family genes. Even Eleanor uses lots of ’buts’. And now his father-in-law was using the same.
