A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 511

"Happy Little New Year's Eve!" Chloe was the first to shout, beaming with excitement. It was a moment they all had been eagerly anticipating, the eve that unofficially kicked off the festive season, filling the air with joy and excitement. For the first time, their long-empty apartment was bustling with life and warmth.

Matilda glanced around the room, where Adrian was sharing a salmon platter with Logan, both exchanging jokes and laughter, creating a lively atmosphere. Suddenly, Adrian’s phone buzzed. He pulled it out to find a message waiting for him.

"How's she doing?"

Adrian looked over at Matilda, who was picking at the shrimp on her plate, and typed back, "Doing great, devoured the sushi, and we've popped open the red wine. Oh, and those quirky gadgets you sent over? Logan loves the reading lamp."

Meanwhile, in a high-rise across the city, Yvan stood before the panoramic window, reading Adrian’s message. A wave of relief washed over him as he placed his phone aside.

Just then, Carl entered the room, his head bowed respectfully. "Mr. Boyd, your father, Mr. Noel Boyd, invites you to join the family for the New Year's Eve dinner."
