章 46: Chapter 46

"Then I'll be going now."

Chess bid his farewell as he stood outside the gate. The children were all tugging on his shirt and pants, refusing to let him go.

"Brother, just stay here… don't go…" Hanna cried as she hugged Chess's left leg.

Chess, in return, just ruffled her hair before crouching down. He then wiped the tears off her face and showed her his brightest smile.

"Brother will be back. You'll wait for brother, right?"

Hanna immediately nodded her head, giving Chess a one last hug before running towards Father. She hid behind him, trying not to look at Chess as he started walking away.

"Wait for me too, alright?" Chess reminded the other kids one last time before finally turning away.
