    William wrapped his fingers around his phone tightly and probingly asked, “So, are you and Richard


    really…?”

    Even without William saying thest few words, Matilda knew what he was trying to ask. So, she let out


    a sigh and said, “There is nothingplicated between me and Richard. We’re just friends at the


    moment.”


    As her answer turned out to be the same as his hunch had been telling him, he replied, “I’m d to


    hear that.” Despite his brief reply, those few words meant a lot to Matilda. Hearing no response from


    thedy, William added, “I think you and I have both changed a lottely.”


    William’s words filled Matilda’s mind with a billion question marks. What’s he trying to say? Soon,


    William continued to say, “I didn’t handle it well in sustaining a healthy marriage life, so I guess I was


    also responsible for our separation back then.”


    Matilda only responded with an affirmative hum, not knowing what else to reply to William’s


    words. Since when has this guy learned how to sweet-talk his way out? The man’s sincere confession


    made Matilda’s face blush in bashfulness. Shortly after that, William took a deep breath and suggested


    a n, “Maybe I should pay a visit to the Flintstone Residence someday.” While Matilda was caught in


    a trance upon hearing that, William asked, “What about tomorrow? Would it be okay for me to visit in


    the evening?”


    Matilda was tongue-tied as her mind frantically searched for the right answer to reply. Gosh! I didn’t


    expect him to tell me that he’ll being. What am I supposed to say? What’s the meaning of


    this? Before Matilda could respond, William said, “I’ll take that as a yes. See you tomorrow evening.”


    After finishing his sentence, he took a look at the time and concluded their conversation, “It’s about


    time now. I need to get going for work. Bye!”


    Meanwhile, Matilda only responded with an ‘oh’, despite a long contemtion. After William hung up


    the call, she stood in ce and raised her eyebrows in confusion. What’s William up to? He said he is


    coming to the Flintstone Residence, but why?


    In the meantime, William arrived at his office and saw John talking on the phone near the safe exit.


    Surprised, he approached his son just as thetter sensed his presence. Then, John turned around


    and revealed a cial look when he noticed it was William. In that instant, he said to the phone,


    “Alright, I get it. Bye.”


    After putting his phone away, he gazed at William and asked, “Did you just arrive?”


    William’s gaze then fell upon his phone for a while as he asked, “What’s wrong? Why did you have to


    talk over the phone in the corner so surreptitiously?”


    Johnughed it off and replied, “Oh,e on! You’re just overreacting. It was just Logan. Hended in


    some trouble and was detained at the police station, but he doesn’t wish anyone else to know too much


    about it.”


    William nodded in agreement since it seemed to him that Logan was a regr visitor who went in and


    out of the police station. Therefore, he didn’t find anything surprising about that, but still, he asked,


    “Was it because of his hangover fromst night that he ended up creating a mess?”


    John smiled and said, “Oh, of course not. He was all sober this morning. It’s just that he identally


    caused some damage to someone else’s property and failed to reach a consensus with the owner on


    thepensation, which was where the police were involved.” While John’s exnation sounded


    logical, it didn’t arouse William’s suspicion.


    Meanwhile, William didn’t read too much into it, so he only nodded. “I see. Alright. I’ll get to work first.”


    John didn’t say a word in response. It was only after William left that he revealed a cial look on his


    face. When it came to the afternoon, John drove away from his office to meet a partner for a discussion


    regarding some procurement details. Although the rendezvous wasn’t too far away from the Constance


    Group, John was caught in the middle of a heavy jam somewhere near the junction with a traffic light


    due to a terrible car ident. As a result, the traffic was paralyzed, and all the cars were stuck on the


    road.
