Chapter 308: Won the War
After his sound defeat in their first round of chess, Nathan put his game face on as they played for another round. Sure enough, he kept his composure, and this time, he actually won. Granted, it was obviously a fluke, but he’ll take the win regardless.
"Lucky," Raine scoffed, casually snacking on one of the snacks he brought with him. "You were about to get mated there for a hot second."
"Well, you shouldn’t have taken your guard down," Nathan smugly pointed out. "Just because you’re clearly better than me means you should play with your food."
"Hey, it’s not my fault it’s fun to see you squirming while you move your pieces," Raine defended herself in jest as she casually shrugged. "And to your credit, you played better this time. You actually made me sweat a bit."
Nathan could only shake his head at his wife’s overconfidence. Then again, she was telling the truth.
After the first game, it was made obvious to him that he was clearly out of his depth. In terms of their ratings, the gap between them was so laughably far that Raine would probably still win against him even if she played with missing pieces. Still, he suggested that they play this game, and he wouldn’t go down without a fight.
"Again?" Raine smirked as she propped her head up with her hands. "I’ll let you pick which piece you wanna use again."
"How generous of you, my sweet vixen," Nathan jokingly scoffed as he set up their pieces. "If you insist, then how about I take the white pieces this time?"
"Feel free to do so, my husband," Raine confidently smirked. "You’ll lose either way."
