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, Matildathen 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 composinghimself, he agreed to it and said he would arrive shortly. novelbin
After the call ended, Sophia turned to Logan. “Logan, you should get some sleep. It’s obvious that younever 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 themorning, he was punched in the face by Lola. Up until this point, he still couldn’t believe what hadhappened 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. “Stopthinking 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 couldsee the man in the car. He looks alright. I guess he’s younger than William by a few years. As asuccessful middle-aged man, he’s rather charming.
When the man saw Sophia, he was stunned. Since Matilda said she was coming with a friend, hethought that the person was of a similar age as Matilda. However, he didn’t expect that her friend was ayoung lady.
Upon getting into the car, Sophia said hi to the man, who smiled in response. “Hi. I’m surprised thatyou’re Matilda’s friend.”
Leaning close to Matilda, Sophia draped her arms around the latter’s shoulders. “Madam Flintstone isyoung 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 thephone, she turned to look at Matilda, who appeared to be uneasy. It was apparent to her that Matildastill 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 thatsold only curtains. After getting out of the car, he said with a smile, “I’m not familiar with curtains, so Ihope 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 theinterior 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 thephotos, he lived in a nice house with exquisite decorations. Sure enough. Otherwise, Matilda’s motherwouldn’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 hisview. 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 wentsomewhere else to give John a call.
