Female Novel
Chapter 785
It took quite a while for Logan to pick up. The background over there sounded a little noisy, but it didn’tsound like people were playing poker. Sophia asked Logan where he was, to which he hummed andonly said he was out without going much into detail.
Sophia frowned. “It’s so late now. Are you out alone?”
Only after brief contemplation did Logan reply, “Yes, I’m alone.”
If he had answered immediately, Sophia would have believed it. But he undoubtedly gave it a thoughtfirst, so she felt that he wasn’t telling the truth. She asked, “Do you have time tomorrow? I want to go toyour clubhouse to play some poker.”
Logan hesitated before saying, “Yes. If you’re coming, I’ll make time.”
His reply caused Sophia to narrow her eyes. “Okay. We’ll talk more tomorrow then.”
After hanging up the phone, she tapped it on her palm. Her intuition told her that something was goingon over at Logan’s side, and it seemed that he didn’t want to talk to her about it. Young Master Logan isobviously hiding something from me. As curiosity rose in her, she itched to know what had happened.
Matilda was still in Sophia’s room, so she continued talking with her. It wasn’t until her son came backthat she left for her own room. She opened the door and went in without looking properly at the insideof the room. Closing the door after her, she went to the closet and took a set of pajamas out, thenwalked toward the bathroom.
Suddenly, there came a voice from the window. “Did you really not see me, or are you just pretending?”
Matilda almost jumped in shock as she whirled around to stare at the source of the sound. William wasstanding at the window with an unlit cigarette in his hand.
The fright still lingered in Matilda’s heart as she stared at William. “When did you enter? Why didn’t youmove when I came in? You really scared me to death.”
Her reply made William frown. “So, you genuinely didn’t see me?”
Matilda put down her pajamas. “Why are you here? Is something the matter?”
William opened the window, then lit his cigarette. “Nothing. I just want to come over and ask if you’regetting used to the place.”
Going over to stand beside him, Matilda uttered, “Not too bad. After all, I’ve lived here for nearly threedecades. Even if I haven’t stayed here for some time, I’m no stranger to this house.”
Satisfied with the answer, William nodded. “That’s good.” After some thought, he added, “I heard thatYolanda came here this afternoon.”
Matilda said, “Yes, she was here. She said that she was visiting.”
Learning that Yolanda visited, William awkwardly asked, “Both of you… What did you talk about?”
Matilda laughed. “Not much. The others had gone up to rest, so just the two of us were sittingdownstairs. She didn’t know that I'd moved in here and was quite surprised, so I briefly explained the
situation to her.”
William exhaled sharply. “Actually, you don’t need to explain anything to her.”
Startled, Matilda looked at the scenery outside the window, blinking a little. She didn’t know why, butshe felt a little thrilled in her heart.
After that, both of them didn’t know what else to say and simply stood together at the window. It wasquite late now. William finished his cigarette, then turned to look at Matilda. “You should rest now. I’mgoing back to my room.”
Matilda nodded. “Right.”
William then turned around and left the room. When the door closed, Matilda let out a long breath.What did William mean just now? Pursing her lips, she couldn’t help but smile.
As for William, he went to take a shower after entering his own room. When he came out, he noticed amissed call on the phone.

William glanced at it, then threw the phone on the bed without any intention of calling back.
