It took quite a while for Logan to pick up. The background over there sounded a little noisy, but it didn’t sound like

people were playing poker. Sophia asked Logan where he was, to which he hummed and only 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 thought first, so she

felt that he wasn’t telling the truth. She asked, “Do you have time tomorrow? I want to go to your 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 going on over at

Logan’s side, and it seemed that he didn’t want to talk to her about it. Young Master Logan is obviously 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 back that she left

for her own room. She opened the door and went in without looking properly at the inside of the room. Closing the

door after her, she went to the closet and took a set of pajamas out, then walked 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 was standing 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 you move 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’re getting used

to the place.”

Going over to stand beside him, Matilda uttered, “Not too bad. After all, I’ve lived here for nearly three decades.

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 that Yolanda

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 sitting downstairs. 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, but she 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 was quite late

now. William finished his cigarette, then turned to look at Matilda. “You should rest now. I’m going 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 a missed call

on the phone.

It was from none other than Yolanda.

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