A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 668

Lance, dragging Yvan through the bustling crowd at the event, collided face-to-face with Matilda, who was walking towards them engaged in conversation with a business partner.

Matilda froze in her tracks, her gaze locking onto the dark-haired, dark-eyed man amidst the crowd. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, the clamor of the world fading into the background, leaving a profound silence in its wake.

Lance hadn't expected that simply pulling Yvan back into the fray would result in a direct encounter with her. The words he had been about to say got stuck in his throat upon seeing Matilda's fair-skinned face, her eyes slightly widened in surprise—she had never anticipated seeing Yvan again.

"My God…" Lance muttered under his breath, a rare display of awe. He had previously dismissed Yvan's obsession with Matilda, but now, he suddenly understood the fervor in his heart, "She's breathtaking…"

Yvan's eyebrows shot up in annoyance, "What do you mean by that?"

"I'm in love with her eyes," Lance blurted out, his words tumbling out in excitement. "They're a treasure beyond compare. Let go of me; I have to go talk to her, release me!"

That sent Yvan into a rage, "Dream on, she's my find, not yours!"

"Come on, we're buddies. What's wrong with me giving it a shot?"

Lance shot back shamelessly, "Who if not us, huh? Aren't we in this together?"

"Get lost, we're done being friends! Over! Who's in this with you?"

"Fine, we're over! If we're over, that means I've got a chance with her. Are you letting go or not?"
