The man called to ask where Matilda was, and that he was going over to fetch her.
After clapping Matilda’s shoulder, Sophia pointed at herself. Looking surprised for a moment, Matilda then nodded
and told the man that she was going with a friend.
Listening to their conversation, Sophia could tell that the man was taken aback. Quickly composing himself, he
agreed to it and said he would arrive shortly.
After the call ended, Sophia turned to Logan. “Logan, you should get some sleep. It’s obvious that you never had a
shut-eye last night. Matilda and I are leaving soon.”
Since Logan was indeed exhausted, he nodded. He didn’t have a proper sleep last night, and in the morning, he was
punched in the face by Lola. Up until this point, he still couldn’t believe what had happened as his mind was buzzing.
After examining Logan’s expression for a while, Matilda finally realized that something was amiss. Usually, he isn’t
like this.
Just then, the man arrived at the clubhouse. Before leaving with Matilda, Sophia turned to Logan. “Stop thinking
about it and take a good rest, alright?”
Logan nodded. “Got it. Go ahead. I need some alone time.”
When Sophia and Matilda stood by the car, the window was rolled down. At that instant, Sophia could see the man
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtin the car. He looks alright. I guess he’s younger than William by a few years. As a successful middle-aged man,
he’s rather charming.
When the man saw Sophia, he was stunned. Since Matilda said she was coming with a friend, he thought that the
person was of a similar age as Matilda. However, he didn’t expect that her friend was a young lady.
Upon getting into the car, Sophia said hi to the man, who smiled in response. “Hi. I’m surprised that you’re Matilda’s
friend.”
Leaning close to Matilda, Sophia draped her arms around the latter’s shoulders. “Madam Flintstone is young at
heart, so we became good friends quickly.”
With a smile, the man stepped on the gas pedal.
Moments later, Sophia fished out her phone and sent John a message to tell him what was going on. Surprised, John
questioned, ‘Are you serious?’
‘Why would I be lying? I’m in that man’s car right now,’ Sophia texted.
After a while, John replied, ‘Got it.’
Amused, Sophia believed that John understood what she was trying to say. After putting down the phone, she
turned to look at Matilda, who appeared to be uneasy. It was apparent to her that Matilda still couldn’t be herself in
the man’s presence.
When they reached a street lined with shops on both sides, the man pulled over in front of a shop that sold only
curtains. After getting out of the car, he said with a smile, “I’m not familiar with curtains, so I hope the two of you
will help me choose a nice color.”
Knowing that the man had an ulterior motive, Sophia nodded. “Alright. Let’s get in. What does the interior of your
house look like? I have to look for a matching curtain.”
Upon fishing out his phone, the man showed them the photos of his house’s interior. Judging from the photos, he
lived in a nice house with exquisite decorations. Sure enough. Otherwise, Matilda’s mother wouldn’t have her eye
on this man, Sophia thought.
After stepping into the shop, Sophia and Matilda started looking around, while the man followed them. In fact, he
was a really nice guy. When Sophia and Matilda were having a discussion, he would give his view. It seems that he
does have a high standard of living, Sophia thought.
Time went by quickly as they looked around. After taking a look at her wristwatch, Sophia went somewhere else to
give John a call.
