"Why didn't you tell me?" Old Man Tanz seemed genuinely hurt. He was fond of this young girl. And yet! She had neglected to share such a major life event, her marriage, with him. "I was in a secret marriage. Not only were you unaware, but my grandfather and father were kept in the dark too." Cynthia halted her chess move and attempted to soothe the old man. Old Man Tanz was even more bewildered. Who could have married Cynthia and failed to inform her family about it? It was beyond absurd! "Who was this man?" Old Man Tanz's indignation flared up on Cynthia's behalf, seething with rage. "I must give him a good lesson!" "It's in the past. I've ended things with him." "That's not acceptable. You must tell me who it is." Cynthia fell silent. She was not sure what to say. She knew that Joshua and Old Man Tanz were acquainted and quite friendly at that. Telling Old Man Tanz about the identity of her ex might not go well. "Don't you consider me as family?" Old Man Tan

The more Old Man Tanz thought about it, the more troubled he became! Cynthia looked at the chessboard where only a handful of his pieces remained, and said softly, "Maybe you should focus on the game for now." Old Man Tanz cast her a glance before making his move. However, another question arose in his mind after only a couple of steps. "Does Captain know about all this?" Cynthia seemed taken aback, a little puzzled why he had come up in the conversation. Regardless of her confusion, she replied, "Yes." After Jimmy had found out, he gossiped about it with the rest of them. Naturally, Captain knew as well. Considering everything that had happened, he knew it all. "He really does?" A spark of hope rekindled in Old Man Tanz's eyes. Cynthia nodded. "Yes." Her simple affirmation lightened Old Man Tanz's mood considerably, and he resumed playing chess with renewed interest. Even though Old Man Tanz did not have many pieces left, he managed to hold his ground for several more mo

At this point, Old Man Tanz stopped guessing and just looked at Cynthia, waiting for her to speak. If he were to keep guessing, he would be led further astray. "Let's talk about it after lunch. There's no rush," Cynthia said, not wanting to spoil the old man's appetite. Old Man Tanz sighed deliberately. "If you don't tell me, I'll keep thinking about it. When I have something on my mind, I lose my appetite. I doubt I'll feel like eating lunch." Cynthia sighed inwardly. Deciding not to beat around the bush any longer, she bluntly said, "It's about Samantha." "Samantha?" Old Man Tanz perked up instantly. He thought about the matter Joshua had brought to him a few days ago. Could it be that both were referring to the same issue? Cynthia replied, "Yes." She stood up, went to fetch the documents from her bag, and after mentally preparing herself, handed them over to Old Man Tanz. "She has made many mistakes. Please, try to remain calm after reading these." Old Man Tanz too

If his eldest son had raised his child as his second son had, Samantha would not have turned out this way. Even though the second son's child was slightly mischievous, he was respectable and would never indulge in these acts of lawlessness. "For minor issues, you can reach out to Michael. After your second uncle Tanz disciplined him recently, he's been given some leeway," Old Man Tanz added. There was something significant that he did not mention. Little Quier was now retired, and if Cynthia were to be bullied, he would likely be the first to defend her. "Alright," Cynthia responded. Once the issue was resolved, Cynthia's heart lightened considerably. Seeing that it was not time for the meal yet, Old Man Tanz asked Cynthia to play another round of chess with him. Before they started, he sent a message to Matthew. [If you don't come soon, Cynthia will be leaving.] Matthew, who was playing chess with a group of retired seniors, glanced at the message and quickly replied, "Hol

However, when she saw the man standing behind her, her mind blanked for a few seconds, a string of question marks flashing in her head. 'Captain?' "You, young man. I thought you weren't coming." Old Man Tanz broke her stupor. "I always keep my promises." Matthew's deep voice was quite pleasing to the ear, complementing his tall and handsome stature. "Alright, stop with the formalities. I'll go check if the meal is ready. You two chat." Old Man Tanz did not intend to play gooseberry here. Matthew nodded slightly, an air of nobility surrounding him. "Alright." Once Old Man Tanz left, silence fell over the area. Cynthia was not usually one to shy away. She had been perfectly calm when she met Joshua's parents. However, this time, she genuinely felt timid. "Do you always get this nervous seeing me?" Matthew observed her state, his tone teasing. Cynthia stayed silent. How could she not be nervous? Matthew gestured to the seat Old Man Tanz had just vacated. "Sit." Cynthia c

A flash of understanding crossed Matthew's eyes. It seemed he would have to take things slow. Feeling the danger of this topic, Cynthia decided to change the subject, "Why are you back? Are you on holiday?" "I'm retired," Matthew murmured. Cynthia looked up in surprise. "Retired?" "Mm." "Why?" Everyone knew that the Captain's capabilities were top-tier in the organization. He had led his team to complete many challenging tasks, earning numerous medals. Most importantly, he had a promising future. Why had he chosen to retire? "I was severely injured during a mission a year ago. The doctor said I couldn't engage in high-intensity training daily. My successor has already been trained, so it seemed right to retire." Matthew did not hide the truth from her. A wave of concern surged in Cynthia's heart. She wanted to ask why he had not informed them about his injury but remembered that some mission details were classified and better left unsaid. So she changed her question, "H

"Hmm, I'm turning thirty next month. I can't very well tell people on blind dates that I'm unemployed," Matthew responded. His eyes were pale, and his words were so ambiguous that it was hard to discern whether he was serious or joking. His simple statement caused Cynthia to worry on his behalf. She blurted out, "You're right. You are not getting any younger." Matthew laughed, seeming amused. This girl. Was she implying he was old? "Well, I'm not as young and energetic as you," Matthew responded nonchalantly. Cynthia quickly explained, "That's not what I meant." "You don't think I'm old? Hmm," Matthew chuckled lightly. Cynthia was not very good at flattery, but at this moment, she mustered up a compliment anyway. "Being a man near thirty, you don't look old at all." "You're a bad liar." "Captain..." Matthew moved his bishop. "Cynthia, checkmate." Only then did Cynthia snap back to reality. Looking at the chessboard in front of her, she felt for the umpteenth time th

In a short while, the two had finished their game. Matthew took the initiative to put away the chess pieces and board, bidding the old man farewell with a courteous yet refined manner. Cynthia also bid her farewell. Though Old Man Tanz was reluctant to let them go, he understood not to delay them for too long. "How are you going back, Captain?" she asked. "I'll hail a cab." Old Man Tanz was taken aback. He glanced instinctively at the SUV parked nearby, confused by the blatant lie. However, he chose not to confront Matthew, silently watching the performance unfold. He was curious as to what Matthew was planning. "It's quite a distance to walk from here, and there aren't many cabs around. Where are you headed? If it's not too far, I can give you a ride," Cynthia said, holding the car keys. The Captain had always been kind to them. She could not just stand by and watch him walk all that way. Matthew's eyes remained indifferent, his tone casual. "Would it be too much trouble?"
