A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 658

"Sorry..." The man instinctively blurted out in Mandarin, a language that seemed oddly familiar to Matilda. She was about to lift her head to get a better look when the guy, his face obscured by a baseball cap, quickly turned away, leaving Matilda with no time to react.

Weird... His voice sounded so familiar... Could it be an old acquaintance?

She watched his retreating figure for a long time, puzzled, until Adrian pulled her into the elevator. "What's so interesting? He had his cap pulled down so low, was he a handsome guy?"

Matilda teased, "He had a sharp chin, and all the guys with sharp chins are handsome."

Adrian wasn't pleased, "Well, I have a sharp chin too."

Matilda laughed, "I never said you weren't handsome."

"Fine, can't argue with you."

Adrian huffed and pressed the elevator button. They had booked two rooms; Logan and Matilda in one, Adrian and Carl in the other. After dropping off their luggage, the guys waved, "See you in an hour. Get some rest. The charity dinner starts at 7 PM."

"Alright."

Matilda had brought her own gown and makeup for the occasion and planned to spare some time to get ready.

After leaving the hotel, the man in the cap quickly sent a text message.

"Be careful going out on your own."

The man lying on the bed, a smirk playing on his lips, texted his good friend, "Who did you run into that’s got you so spooked?"

Keaton sighed, taking off his cap and ordering a cup of coffee at the hotel's ground floor bar before sitting down. "The people I mentioned before, they're in Australia now."
