Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 130

130 /630

"Ari, what are you thinking about?"

Georgia noticed that even though Ariana said she would come to help in the kitchen, her mind seemed to be elsewhere. She couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?"

Ariana was startled at the sound, came to her senses slightly, and said with a hint of guilt, "Nothing... I'm not thinking about anything."

How could Georgia not see through her thoughts? "It hasn't even been half a day since he left, and you're already missing him?"

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ariana felt somewhat heartache.

Georgia thought she was shy. Recalling the wedding day, she asked with some concern: "After the wedding, you moved directly into the Stone family. Are you adjusting well to living there?"

After all, it seems the Stone family doesn't like Ariana very much, so living with them would certainly not be easy.

Adjusting well?

This question was like an interrogation of the soul. She couldn't possibly admit that she was constantly engaged in a battle of wits every day, could she?

She had just dealt with two of her aunts this morning, who were probably about to hate her by now.

Ariana reluctantly said: "It's okay, the Stone family is quite lively."

Upon hearing this, Georgia was somewhat relieved. After all, she was her only daughter.

At this point, Felicia interrupted their conversation, "Madam, Miss, the Sir has arrived."

Sir?

Ariana was still a bit unaccustomed to the name, only after a pause did she realize it was Lambert.

Georgia smiled teasingly, "Speak of the devil and he shall appear."

Ariana choked up for a moment, left speechless.

Georgia said to Felicia: "Let him sit for a while, it will be time for dinner soon."

Felicia replied: "Yes."

When Ariana went out, Lambert was playing chess with Gilbert. Possibly as the game got increasingly difficult, both had their brows furrowed.

The maid, who saw the surprise in Ariana's expression, was also quite startled as she commented, "Miss, they have been playing chess for almost half an hour, and still, there is no winner."

Half an hour...

Gilbert loved to play chess, and Ariana had been exposed to it since childhood and had played quite a few games with her father, but she never won. When she was young, she even thought she had absolutely no talent in it, until she participated in a school competition and won the championship that she realized, it was not that she was too weak, but that her father was too strong.

But seeing Lambert being able to compete with her father for so long, she was genuinely surprised.

After a while, Gilbert moved a piece, Lambert with a regretful expression said, "I lose."

Gilbert, probably having met a match after a long time and playing a grueling game for over half an hour, felt rather cheerful, "For your young age, to have such a high level of achievement, you are indeed extraordinary."

Lambert modestly said, "My father also loves chess, so being able to play with you for a while, your chess skills are not something anyone can compare to."

Gilbert was surprised, "Oh? Your father also loves to play chess. When I have time, I must see him."

"I will definitely tell him. Oh, by the way..."

Lambert suddenly remembered and took out a jade chessboard from a delicate wooden box, along with two boxes of chess pieces. He said, "This is a Ming Dynasty carved ivory chess set, and the jade chessboard was obtained from a collector. I've heard you love to play chess, so I brought it specifically for you."

"Ming Dynasty?"
