“I don’t buy that for a second.”
“I'm telling you the truth.”
Melinda knew her husband was far too slick for his own good. Just as she was about to change tactics, Isaac
pulled her into his arms, full of unbothered affection and the slightest tease in his touch.
Melinda could never resist when he acted like that. He wasn’t being serious at all!
But Isaac had a way of getting her off track before she even noticed, and sure enough, she was led away from
the topic without realizing it. Once he had soothed his wife, Isaac went looking for Kristian, who'd returned home

me. I'll hang up now.” And just like that, he ended the call, his hands curling slowly into fists at his sides.
“What do you want now?” Kristian muttered, thoroughly annoyed by Isaac's presence.
“Just stick to what Freya told you,” Isaac said seriously for once. “Your grandpa’s getting on in years. He can’t
handle too much stress.”
Kristian had already changed his attitude toward Lionel. “I don’t need you to tellthat.”
“Great. Then go play a gof chess with him,” Isaac suggested. “If you can’t hold your own, download some
Kristian hated that idea. Cheating? That made him sound like a complete amateur.
But without his memories, he couldn't wrap his head around chess strategy fast enough to hold his own.
He gave it a fair shot, playing a round with Lionel on his own merits, only to suffer a humiliating defeat.
In the end, he was left with no choice
