A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 227

Matilda felt queasy throughout the entire meal, but the two men sitting across from her seemed oblivious, eating as if nothing was amiss. Logan, ever the scatterbrain, kept switching between calling Adrian "Uncle Adrian" and "Little Uncle."

When Adrian finished his food, he looked at Orson and asked, "Is he staying over tonight?"

Orson, with a rare cold smirk, replied, "Sorry, I live here."

Matilda added, "We're roommates."

Adrian, unwilling to back down, declared, "Then I'll stay too. I can crash on the couch."

Matilda ignored him and said sharply, "Just leave after you eat. Don’t expect to be welcomed back."

Adrian clutched his chest dramatically, "Are you still holding a grudge because I teased you in the rain that time? I even looked after your son for two weeks. Can’t we call it even?"

Matilda was blunt, "No deal. Get lost."

After Adrian left, Matilda thought it was all over. But the next day, when she opened her front door to leave for work, Adrian’s grinning face popped out from next door, "Hey there."

Stunned, Matilda stepped back, clutching her purse, "What are you doing here?"

Adrian, dressed casually, stood in the hallway with a carefree expression, "Moved in next door last night."

Matilda thought to herself, he’s like a bad penny.

Fed up, she turned on her heel and walked away. Men are such pests, throwing themselves at you when you don’t want them!

Watching her leave, Adrian smirked with a deep meaning before her figure vanished into the distance. Squinting his eyes, a shadow passed over his handsome face. He pulled out his phone and a cigarette, lighting up and dialing a number.
