    Matthew didn’t continue their conversation. He stood up and said, “Let’s go! If the party begins, we will


    not have a chance to meet Mr. Butler in private again.”

    nca nodded and got quickly off the couch. She tidied up her clothes to cover her nervousness. A


    hint of a smile touched Matthew’s lips. He liked to look at her when she got a little nervous. She was


    really funny and brought him so much fun.


    Matthew went in front, nca behind him obediently. As they walked, nca felt more and more


    nervous. The mystery of her birth would be revealed. At this thought, her palms were so sweaty.


    Before long, Matthew stopped before a door. nca had her eyes fixed on the door, as if her heart had


    leapt into her throat. Matthew knocked, but there was no sound.


    “He’s not in?” nca asked anxiously. She was nervous, confused and scared, different emotions


    entwined.


    Matthew frowned and knocked again. But in that moment, a sound ofughter came from the corridor.


    nca followed the sounds and saw Malinda and Louise walking towards them.


    Malinda drew level with them and said with a shining smile, “Hi, Matthew. Why are you here? Do you


    want to see my grandpa?” Her smile was really sweet and attractive, as if the sun came to shine on


    them.


    “Yes. Is Mr. Butler here?” Matthew knew Malinda but not very well.


    “No, he’s not here. He just left with someone,” Malinda said. She smiled more widely and nca could


    see her white and pretty teeth.


    Malinda and Matthew stood close to each other. One was handsome and the other was beautiful. It


    seemed they were so well suited. Malinda looked at Matthew with eyes softly glowing. nca suddenly


    realized that Malinda loved Matthew!


    “Well. We wille next time,” said Matthew. He held nca’s hand and turned to leave.


    “Matthew!” Malinda stopped them. “If you have something important, I can pass your message on to


    Grandpa.”


    “No. Thank you,” Matthew replied and kept walking.


    Just then, nca twisted her feet and Matthew held her hands tightly to steady her. nca felt the


    warmth of his hand. She hadn’t seen Mr. Butler, but she didn’t look depressed. She was sure that


    Matthew would fulfill her wish.


    Malinda stared after them and the smile vanished from her pretty face.


    “Look at that perky little bitch, Malinda! She’s a thorough slut. I guess she has done everything she


    could to seduce Matthew. I have to admit that her methods were pretty good. Look, Matthew was totally


    smitten with her. By the way, have you noticed her pendant? It looks worth a lot of money,” said Louise


    through clenched teeth.


    “A pendant?” Malinda asked in surprise.


    Her reaction struck Louise as odd. She said, “Yes, a pendant. It is …” She described to Malinda the


    appearance of nca’s pendant.
