A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 484

Eugene chuckled, "Yeah, someone did tell me to keep a good eye on her."

That noisy little brother, Criss.

Adrian gave Matilda a meaningful look, "You seem to be in good spirits lately."

Matilda didn't deny it, "Yeah, feels like I've opened a new door in life."

"It's good to see you've come to terms with things."

With a smile, Adrian stretched out his fork and sliced off a piece of the cake next to Matilda, "How about Yvan? Is he still bothering you?"

It was only then that Matilda remembered; it seemed that lately, there had been less news about Yvan.

He was no longer forcefully making his presence known in her world, demanding she accept everything he offered without giving her a chance to resist.

Matilda mumbled, "Lately... I haven't really been entangled with him much."

Adrian's gaze deepened, "Did he change his ways? Hmm?"

"I don't know." Matilda had no desire to delve into Yvan's intentions.

In her heart, she had locked away all her feelings about Yvan, sealing them off so they would never see the light of day again.

Noticing Matilda's reluctance to discuss Yvan, Adrian's mood seemed to brighten, "So, you don't like him anymore?"

"Like?" Matilda laughed as if she heard a joke, "Such a distant word. I might never 'like' someone again in my life, so let's just forget about that ability, shall we?"

Perhaps she was no longer capable of falling in love with anyone.

"Mr. Simpson, don't just talk to Dawn all the time," Eugene joked from the side, "We're here to discuss a partnership, you know. I get you admire our Dawn, but she's with me now. If you want to know about her, let's talk business first."

Adrian quickly turned his attention, Eugene had a way with words, smoothing over the situation, "My apologies, I got sidetracked. So, Mr. Eugene, where were we?"

Matilda let out a soft laugh and continued with her dessert. After their discussion, Adrian and Eugene shook hands, then both came over to shake Matilda's hand.

Matilda, poised and unflinching, surprised Adrian, and the woman smiled at him, "Thank you for coming to work with us."

"After you regained your memory," Adrian pondered for a moment, "you've changed quite a bit."

"Didn't I tell you? It's because of everything I've been through," Matilda blinked, "But I still remember you confessing to me in the hospital room, all serious."

Adrian's face immediately flushed pink; he was used to flirting with girls, but this was the first time a woman had flirted with him!
