Chapter 1730


    At night, when I was lying in bed, I did not feel like sleeping at all.


    Theo came out of the shower, saw me staring at the ceiling with wide eyes,y next to me, and put his arm behind my head.


    "You''re overthinking again."


    His voice brought me back to my senses.


    Turning my head to look at him, I opened my mouth softly. "I want to go see Matthew tomorrow."


    "You want to do what?" Theo''s voice was low. He clearly did not want me to meet up with him.


    Exhaling a heavy breath, I responded lightly, "I want to question him. Don''t


    worry, I''ll be fine."


    Theo hesitated for a long time, and I waited quietly for his reply.


    I did not know how much time passed before I heard his answer. "I''ll have Keith follow you.''


    "Okay."


    "It''ste. Go to sleep. Good night." He urged me.


    I gave a hum and then fell into a deep sleep next to him.


    What I did not know was that Theo had a sleepless night.


    The next day, I asked Keith to inquire about Matthew''s residence in the city.


    I found out that he was staying at the Splendour Hotel, so I rushed over there.


    Keith walked me to the door. "Wait for me here. If I''m not out in an hour, youe in." "Yes, Ma''am."


    I looked up at the hotel sign before entering.


    When I came to the door of 401,1 gathered enough courage to knock on the door.


    "Who is it?" Matthew kept his guard up.


    I did not say anything and just knocked again.


    Matthew saw me through the peephole and opened the door with some haste, showing surprise on his face. "Wanda, it''s you! I haven''t had time to tell you yet."


    Looking inside, I smiled gently. "Don''t you want to invite me in?"


    "Of course,e in."


    What was he trying to hide by not choosing the presidential suite but just an average room?


    "When did youe to the capital?" I asked idly as I gazed around the room.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Matthew replied without being defensive." I arrived a few days ago, I wanted to settle down before looking for you, but I didn''t expect you to find me first. How did you know I was here?"


    I deliberately avoided his doubts. The corners of my mouth turned into a grin." Are you here on vacation, or do you want to develop your business in Whaldorf?"


    "I''m here mainly for vacation, but I''m


    also here to observe the ce.


    Maybe I''ll open a branch here." Matthew walked toward me with his hands in his pockets. He had a cool temperament that he never had before, but what remained the same was his warm smile. From before till now, his smile toward me was always sunny.

    I nodded. "Whaldorf is a big city. There''s a lot to do here for fun. There are manypanies here, but at the same time, thepetition is stressful. If you do establish a branch here, what about Liz? You won''t have time to take care of her and the baby."


    At my mention of Liz, Matthew''s eyes darkened slightly. I realized something was wrong and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "Liz and I got divorced. She brought it up, and the kid followed her."


    Hearing this sentence, I did not know what I was feeling.


    Gulping, I told him, "Liz loved you very much. If she chose to leave your side, it must be because you disappointed her."
