Chapter 826
Matilda nodded. “Yes. He said that he had identally split the curtain in his home yesterday, so he
wanted me to choose a new one with him. Initially, I didn’t want to go, but my mom agreed to his

request for me, so I’m left with no choice now.”
After that, she gave Logan a nce. “What’s wrong with him? He seems displeased.” At that instant,
she noticed the bruise on his face, so she frowned. “Did he identally bump into any object or
something?”
Sure enough, no one would have imagined that Logan was attacked. Even his father doesn’t dare to
in the face? Sophia thought.
Logan turned to look at Sophia, who replied, “Oh, after we had breakfast, he crashed into the ss
door because he wasn’t paying attention. You can see how hard he hurt himself.”
Having no idea of what had happened earlier, Matilda trusted her words. After examining the bruise,
shemented, “Poor thing. The bruise looks serious.”
Feeling uneasy, Logan touched his face and looked away. Since he was in a bad mood, he didn’t
suggest ying poker even when they were around.
Sitting beside him, Matilda said, “I’m surprised that you didn’t invite us to y poker today.”
After letting out a sigh, Logan replied, “No. Considering the state I’m in, I’ll be destroyed by the rest of
you in the game.”
Matildaughed. “Even if you’re energetic, you will still be destroyed by the rest of us.” When she didn’t
get a response from him, Matilda was surprised.
Logan wasn’t a man who would ept criticisms. Normally, when he was criticized, he would rebuke
that person immediately. It was rare for him to simply fall silent after being mocked.
Staring at him, Matilda decided against voicing her doubt, even though she was curious.
Knowing that Logan wasn’t in the mood, Sophia started asking Matilda about the man thetter was
going to date.
Looking embarrassed, Matilda replied, “It isn’t a date. We’re just going to meet up and have a chat.
Seriously, this is not a date.”
Amused by the look on her face, Sophia said, “Since the both of you are adults, it doesn’t have to be
said out clearly. Even if you don’t think it’s a date, the man may think otherwise. What if he thinks that
you’ve agreed to go out with him because you’re somewhat fond of him? What will you do?”
Upon heaving a sigh, Matilda said, “Yesterday, I made it clear to him that it was my mom who had
arranged the date, and I wasn’t looking for a boyfriend. However, he said that he could understand the
situation I was in and insisted that we could start getting in touch as friends first.”
With her lips curled up, Sophia shook her head. “This man is smart. I have a feeling that if you keep in
touch with him, you will be put at a disadvantage.”
Matilda was a rather simple-minded woman, while the man was obviously a sophisticated and
experienced man, so she probably wouldn’t be able to gain an upper hand in their contact with each
other.
Not minding it one bit, Matilda replied, “It’s fine. I don’t intend to get in touch with him frequently
anyway. I just want my mom to stop nagging me now.” Then, she went on to talk about the man’s
background.
The man was divorced. After his former wife fell in love with a foreigner, she brought their kid with her
to settle in another country. He had remained single for many years now.
Although he ran a sessful business, his achievement wasn’tparable to William’s. While William
inherited thepany from his father, the man started from scratch. Hence, the man could be
considered to be more sessfulpared to other entrepreneurs.
Upon learning his background, Sophia grunted. “It seems that he’s a nice guy.”
Matildaughed. “Whether he’s nice or not, I won’t get together with him.” Although the man is polite
and gentle, he justcks a certain quality that I like. Anyway, he’s not my cup of tea, Matilda thought. A
whileter, her phone started ringing.
