The Earl's Stolen Bride (Marriage By Deceit book 4)
““You play chess?”
Dragging his gaze off the doorway, Orlando looked at her father. “From time to time,” Orlando replied.
The older gentleman sipped the last of his brandy then set the glass down. “Are you any good?”
“I do well enough, I suppose.”
“Want to play?”
Her father offered a smile, but Orlando sensed he was only being polite. Shifting in his chair, Orlando shook his head. “I’d rather not, if it’s all right with you. I don’t care much for the game. I have it bec...ause it was my grandfather’s.”
“He was a lover of the game then?”
“Yes. I think he played a game every day.”
And on some of those days, he had to coax his wife or one of his children or grandchildren into playing the game, but Orlando saw no reason to share this information with him. He probably wouldn’t care anyway. He was only here to pass the time until Chloe’s mother was finished talking to Chloe.MoreLess
