As Celeste reviewed the moves , the comment made her pause , a flicker of interest surfacing .
Just then , she heard Wynn’s voice . “ Mr. Keller Senior , I’d love to give it a shot after seeing your match . But with my abilities , beating Trevor might be … ”
“ Ah , it’s all in good fum ; I wasn’t being serious , ” Brandon laughed . “ If you’d like to play , go ahead . ”
Wynn was about to speak when someone chuckled . “ If Ms Locket joins , the game could go either way . ”
“ Right ? Mr. Fleming might be great at chess , but if he actually defeats Ms. Locket , he’ll probably have some explaining to do at home . ”
With that , laughter rippled through the crowd .
Brandon wasn’t aware of Wynn and Trevor’s relationship .
Upon hearing the remark , he observed Wynn’s elegance and confidence . She truly seemed like a fitting match for Trevor
Then , he smiled , looking at Trevor as he teased , “ Oh ? In that case , I’m curious to see if you can still keep your cool playing against your girlfriend like you did with me . ”
Unfazed by the attention , Wynn turned to Trevor . “ I’m not the type to be a sore loser . Let’s just play fair . ”
A subtle smile played on Trevor’s sharp features . “ Okay . ”
Someone in the crowd blurted out , “ The game hasn’t even begun , and they’re already putting their romance on display . ”
“ Flirting aside , Ms. Locket holds a PhD from one of the world’s top universities . If she’s this confident , she must know her stuff , ” another person added .
Brandon hadn’t heard of Wynn before . After learning this , he chuckled . “ So , you’re a PhD scholar , huh ? ” Then , turning to Trevor , he said , “ Not bad , you’ve got a good eye
Matthias rolled his eyes .
Initially , he wanted to ask if Celeste was interested in giving it a go .
However , before he could speak , Wynn chimed in .
Watching this , he felt a headache coming on . He scoffed and muttered , “ What’s with all the nonsense ? ”
His voice was so soft , yet Celeste and Beck still heard him .
Celeste let out a soft chuckle .
Beck noticed that her expression was as calm as ever , with no sign of emotion . It gave him a sense of relief .
Finally , Trevor and Wynn began their game of chess .
Celeste could tell that Wynn was quite proficient at chess .
And she wasn’t a novice at all .
It was just that ….
After observing for a moment , Celeste looked away .

Matthias seemed to catch on to something after watching for a while . He rolled lils eyes again , having the urge to
leav
As he noticed Celeste was losing her interest in the game , lie asked , “ Do you want to head back to the pavilion and grab a bite ? ”
Celeste shook her head . “ It’s fine . Let’s stay here a little longer .
Beck spotted it earlier than Matthias Celeste’s attention had drifted from the game .
Earlier , while Brandon and Trevor were playing , Beck noticed how intensely Celeste had been concentrating
As Trevor and Wynn began their game , she observed for a brief moment , then lost interest and looked away . While the game between Trevor and Wyrm had its fair share of back – and – forth , it was clear that Wynn’s chess skills weren’t quite on par with Brandon’s , let alone ‘ Trevor’s .
Still , she played very well .
Celeste’s response …
“ Not bad at all . ”
At that moment , Harry’s voice rang out from the side .
He and Caleb had appeared out of nowhere , and they were now standing beside Brandon .
