Chapter 93


    Hearing E’s murmurs, Yvan instinctively turned his head and saw Matilda and Mason sitting together,


    chatting animatedly with a stack of papers in their hands, seemingly deep in discussion about a


    contract.


    Yvan remembered the times Mason hade to Matilda’s aid in the past. He turned his face away so


    as not to see them, the chill in his gaze seemed to drop a few degrees, and his voice carried a frosty


    undertone, “Let’s go, no need to bother with them.”


    “Is that so?” E kept ncing back, intentionally or not, “Maybe we should say hi! It’s been ages since


    I’ve seen Mason.”


    Before Yvan could collect his thoughts, E had already linked her arm through his and was guiding


    him towards the table by the window where Mason and Matilda sat engrossed in the design drafts. Just


    as someone nearby called out. “Mason!”


    Mason looked up and saw E, all smiles, approaching with Yvan in tow. As they drew near, Matilda


    noticed their approach, and her expression froze.


    Yvan, looking indifferent, was led over by E. When he saw Matilda, the scorn on his face was


    unmistakable. He didn’t speak a word, but his sarcastic gaze was enough to make Matilda tingle with


    pain.


    Mason, on the other hand, seemed far moreposed, casually taking a sip of his coffee before


    asking, as if offhandedly. “You’re back from abroad?”


    E, with the innocence of a child, gave Matilda a once–over, “Yeah, is this your new girlfriend?”


    The question immediately soured the mood for both Mason and Yvan. But the next second, Mason


    responded with a sly smile, “E, don’t talk nonsense; you’ll scare her off.”

    “Well‘ E pouted, “I’ve never seen you with ady friend before, so I thought maybe I should think


    she’s special”


    “E!”


    Yvan’s voice came out cold and sharp, sending a shiver through E.


    “Why the outburst, Yvan?”


    His gaze narrowed as he looked at E, “Don’t talk more than you need to.”

    E’s eyes welled up with tears, a somewhat pitiful sight. “Are you ming me for being nosy?”


    “You could say that.”


    Matilda, who had been silent until now, suddenly lifted her head with a radiant smile, looking at the girl.


    Despite her apparent simplicity, the words she spoke seemed calcted to mislead Yvan. Was she to


    be praised for her cleverness, or was she even more cunning than her sister?


    “E,” Matilda thought to herself, “you don’t know me, but this face of yours that resembles hers. I will


    never forget it, even in my dreams!”


    The malice in Matilda’s eyes as she looked at E gave thetter a start. E had always found only


    Yvan’s anger to be terrifying, but why was she now feeling this same oppressive sensation from being


    stared at by this woman?


    E had never met Matilda; she only knew that Yvan had been divorced. Even when he was married,


    his heart belonged to her sister.


    E had always been overseas, and only after her sister’s passing did she start toe into Yvan’s


    life. She knew nothing of Matilda.


    Mason, noticing the hostility Matilda held for E, tried to defuse the tension with augh, “Are you


    guys here for dinner? Perfect timing.”


    “How about joining, us?” Unexpectedly, Yvan spoke up with an invitation, “Sitting by the window, just


    the two of you, must be a bit lonely, right? Why not join us in the private room?”


    “No, thank you,” Matilda declined without a second thought.
