Chapter 831

William nodded. “I see.”

Matilda went on to say, “I’m sorry that I left your home the other day without informing you. My family
wanted me to go home immediately.” Forcing a smile, she said, “Nevertheless, I don’t think you care
about this.”

Without continuing this topic, William raised his chin to point in the direction of Richard. “Are you dating
him?”

“No no no,” Matilda explained hurriedly. “I’m not dating him. He’s just a friend.”

William turned to glance at Richard again, who happened to look in his direction as well. As a confident
man, Richard flashed a smile at William, whose expression remained glacial.

After a pause, William said, “Why didn’t I know you have this friend?”

Behaving like a cheating student who was caught red-handed by the teacher, Matilda answered in an
honest manner, “We got to know each other two days ago. My mom said he’s a nice guy—” Noticing
that she had said it in an inappropriate way, Matilda caught herself and rephrased her words. “Well,
since I don’t have many friends, my mom told me to try to make new friends and… that’s what
happened.”

Why do I feel that the more I explain, the more it sounds suspicious? Eventually, Matilda decided to
keep her mouth shut so that the misunderstanding wouldn’t worsen.

William gave her a dispassionate smile.



Lowering her head, Matilda noticed that he had never touched his food. At that instant, she wasn’t sure
what he made of the situation now. Is he angry with me? But he doesn’t look like it, even though he
seems different from his usual self. Matilda was perplexed.

Honestly, since they were divorced, William didn’t have a reason to be mad. At any rate, Matilda
wouldn’t dare to think that he was jealous.

Seeing as Matilda never returned, Richard finished his food and walked over. Feeling more confident
than William, Richard said, “Hi, Mr. William. I’ve always wanted to meet you.”

Not knowing who Richard was, William gazed at him and asked, “You are?” He sounded rather
impolite, as he didn’t even greet Richard.

Not feeling embarrassed at all, Richard grinned and introduced himself.

Upon hearing his introduction, William nodded in a perfunctory manner. “Hi.”

Feeling uneasy, Matilda turned to Richard and questioned in a lowered voice, “Why did you come
over?”

Speaking in his normal volume, Richard replied, “Since you were not coming back, I decided to come
over instead.” The smiling tone in his words sounded like it was a banter between a couple.

After staring at Richard for a while, William slowly relaxed his furrowed eyebrows.



Upon finishing his words, Richard asked Matilda, “Are you done with lunch? Do you want more?”

Matilda shook her head and said she didn’t need more.

Standing up, Richard continued, “I’m done with lunch as well. Let’s go.” Before Matilda could speak, he
looked at William and added, “Mr. William, please enjoy your food. We’ll take our leave now.”

Then, he took Matilda’s arm, and she rose as well. After picking up Matilda’s bag, Richard said, “I think
the color of the last curtain we saw was pretty nice. Don’t you like that as well? Or do you like the light
blue one?”

With her arm grabbed by Richard, Matilda turned to look at William without responding to him.

Just like how he had been seated since the beginning, William ignored them and remained silent.

Meanwhile, John and Sophia were having their lunch in an adjacent restaurant. Before they could finish
their food, Sophia received a message from Matilda. ‘We’re done with lunch. When are you coming
back?’
