From then on , Wynn started paying more attention to Celeste’s moves .
When she saw Celeste resolve the tricky situation Trevor had set up for her in a way she hadn’t anticipated , she felt a sense of unease .
Hearing Brandon’s praise , her heart sank even lower .
Celeste was fully absorbed in the game , blocking out everything around her .
She was holding her ground for now . However , she knew that winning was almost out of reach .
Thus , she paused for a second , looking at Trevor ,
Trevor made another move .
And Celeste halted her movements .
Harry chuckled . “ This is incredible . I never imagined I’d witness such an amazing game here , especially played by two young ones . Well done ! ”
Brandon was frustrated since he broke his concentration . “ Shush , shush ! ”
Harry was at a loss for words .
After a few minutes , Celeste made her move , subtly shifting the game back to her advantage .
Two minutes later , Trevor countered with a move .
Then , Celeste set the chess piece down and said , “ I lost . ”
A few moves could still be made , but the result was already clear .
It was pointless to keep on playing ,
With that , she stood up and was ready to leave . Immediately , Trevor asked , “ How about a rematch ?
After a brief hesitation , Celeste sat back down .
Harry smiled as he commented , “ She looks so calm and collected , but here she is , challenging Trevor to a game in
a situation like this . She probably doesn’t get to play with someone like him very often , so she doesn’t want to miss this opportunity , does she ? ”
He was speaking to Matthias , who also picked up on it .
Hence Matthias nodded in reply .
Harry spoke again . “ I bet you can’t beat her . ”
Despite Matthias being another prodigy in their social circle , second only to Trevor , he agreed .
Matthias replied bluntly , “ Yeah , I can’t . ”
Before this , Celeste had always been playing chess with Zachary .
Though she hadn’t won a single game , Zachary’s reactions and comments showed that Celeste was already a formidable player .
And she was so young .

Zachary , on the other hand , had never lost a game since his teenage years .
Not many , regardless of age or gender , could earn such praise from Zachary .
Clearly , Celeste was quite skilled at playing chess .
During their conversation , Celeste and Trevor had already tidied up the chessboard .
He asked , “ Would you like to go first ? ”
“ No , you go ahead . ”
She lost several pieces to him earlier , and she was eager to discover her limits .
Just as Harry guessed , she hadn’t played chess in a while . Aside from Zachary , she hadn’t come across a tough opponent in ages .
She really didn’t want to miss this opportunity .
To her , Trevor was just a mere chess opponent now , nothing else.
She wouldn’t shy away from playing with him just because he was Trevor .
Upon hearing her , Trevor didn’t insist and took the first move this time .
They kept playing in silence , not exchanging a word .
For some reason , Harry and Brandon both sensed an unspoken connection between the two while watching the game . It felt like they had known each other for a long time
