Chapter 825 The Go Game (Part One)


    It was the day of Barry and Nina''s wedding at Prince Matthew''s mansion. Although it was a wedding


    ceremony of a guard, a lot of people came, bearing all kinds of gifts. When Harper personally escorted


    Nina out, Anabel immediately started crying.


    "Why are you crying? It''s not like you won''t see her again. It''s just a wedding. She''s free toe back


    here even after she gets married," Harper said while poking Anabel''s head.


    "I''m just d that Nina''s finally getting married. Your Highness, these are not tears of sadness but tears


    of joy." Anabel choked up.


    "Yes, yes, I know you''re happy. Will you cry even more when it''s your time to get married? The groom


    will be scared if you ruin your make-up because of those tears," Harper teased her.


    "Your Highness! You''re just making fun of me." Anabel stamped her foot like a little child.


    "The bridegroom is here."


    Upon hearing that, Harper smiled and said, "Let''s go. Your groom has arrived."


    Nina nodded. Following Harper, she made her way outside with Anabel''s help. Matthew was sitting in


    the hall which was already filled with people. When Barry saw the bride, he immediately stood up while


    his eyes instantly lit up.


    When they were close enough, Harper handed Nina to Barry. "She''s yours now."

    "Don''t worry, Your Highness. I will take good care of her," Barry sincerely vowed.


    Then, Harper sat next to Matthew while Barry and Nina knelt and bowed down three times to show


    their respect and say goodbye. After that, Barry carried the bride to the sedan chair. The procession


    started from Prince Matthew''s mansion and headed for Barry''s house, apanied by loud and


    joyous music. Although his house was rtively small, it was spacious enough for the couple to live


    togetherfortably.


    "What now? Are you sad? Are you hesitant to let her go?" Matthew asked when he noticed that Harper


    was still looking at the gate.


    "No, it''s just, it feels a little different that the girls around me have grown up as well. Nina''s marriage


    has been settled now. Before we know it, it''s going to be Anabel, as well as Forsythia, Angelica, and


    Peony," Harper said with a smile.


    "If they have someone they truly love, I won''t hesitate to grant their marriages. You just worry too


    much," Matthew immediately said.


    "Let''s go. The bathing ceremony at the Kong n''s mansion should begin any time soon. It''s time for


    us to celebrate another asion."


    At the Kong n''s mansion, Jabari''s bathing ceremony had been scheduled to be held only three days


    after he was born. Although it was only the Bu n and Prince Matthew''s family who were attending,


    the other ns, as well as the emperor, had sent out their gifts for the little boy.


    The bathing ceremony just started when Harper and Matthew arrived. She stood aside and watched as


    the nanny was washing Jabari, her eyes so gentle. In no time, Zack walked towards her and Matthew.


    "I was worried that you couldn''te here on time because your maid got married. I didn''t expect that


    the two of you could make it." Zack smiled.


    "As the bride''s family, we don''t have to go to Barry''s house. After sending Nina out, we came over


    immediately. We knew that there wouldn''t be a conflict in time. Fortunately, we arrived when it just


    started. By the way, I remember that Gigi didn''t have a bathing ceremony. She was so weak that we


    didn''t dare to tire her out with any kind of activities. Now, Prince Allen''s family has been raising her so


    well that she became quite healthy and strong." Harper giggled.


    "I''m d to hear that. Jabari is quite well these days too. He''s crying so loudly now, seeming to tell


    others that he''s just 3 days old today." Zack then turned to look at Jabari, who was in the nanny''s arms.


    The smile on his face seemed to never go away.


    "How is Caroline?"


    "She has recovered very well. She can already get out of bed and walk for a while. But George is


    worried about her, so he doesn''t allow her to go out that much. Although today is the bathing ceremony,


    she didn''t attend, as George was afraid that she might catch a cold because of the wind. Would you


    like to see herter?" Zack asked.


    "Of course, I''ll go and see her since I''m already here. Can you please apany my husband for a


    while? Thank you," Harper replied.


    Turning to look at Harper, Matthew thought, ''Oh, so you''re still aware of your husband''s existence?


    Looking at you and Zack talking so cheerfully, I was almost wondering if it''s still necessary for me to be


    here.''


    "Your Highness, shall we y Go?" Zack''s voice was gentle and his tone was soft, but his eyes were


    full of taunt. Not someone who would fail to notice this, Matthew narrowed his eyes a little.


    "Great! I haven''t yed Go with you in such a long time. I''m dying to do it. Let''s go." Matthew had long


    been waiting for an opportunity to get back at Zack. Today, since the man had proposed it himself, he


    wouldn''t let him go. He wouldn''t call himself Matthew until he defeated Zack to the point of no return.


    As soon as she saw the two men leave, Harper followed a servant and walked towards Caroline''s


    room. She didn''t know how long she could stay in this city but she knew that she had to leave sooner


    orter. While she still had time, she wanted to say goodbye to the people and things she loved.


    Meanwhile, a board was already ced in the pavilion, and the two men sat face to face. Zack grabbed


    several stones and asked, "Prime number or even number?"


    "Even."


    Zack put down the stones and counted in front of Matthew. "Your Highness, it''s prime number. I won. I


    will choose the ck stones and move first."


    Matthew gritted his teeth, but that part of the game relied on luck alone. Apparently, he was not as


    fortunate as Zack so he couldn''t do anything about it. But he believed that he could definitely defeat


    Zack since he had practiced his skills.


    The servants stood far away from the two men, none of them wanting to get close. Matthew and Zack


    yed Go as if they were fighting in an actual battle. The servants couldn''t bear such tension, so they


    quickly went far away.


    "Your Highness, don''t give off such energy as if you want to kill somebody. You''re scaring the servants,"


    Zack reminded while he nced at the servants who promptly kept their distance from them.
