Chapter 29
Julima had been interrogated for several hours. She was so exhausted that she couldn’t hold on anymore and fell asleep with her head resting on
Under the bright lights, Matthias gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. He picked her up effortlessly and carried her straight to the bedroom. As Mathias emerged from the room, Liam, having arrived in the living room and noted the modest nature of the apartment, questioned, “Will you be taking, Ms. Bennett back to Windere Grove?”
Windmere Grove was located in the shallow bend of Hashbourne. Back in the day, my wealthy familles had fought over the land when it was released. Juliana had made a cassal remark about liking the area after admiring the view, which somehow resulted in Matthias acquiring the property.
The rich merchants had intended to develop it into bury seaside quartments, but Matthias had designed it to suit the style that Juliana loved. It was mitially intended to be a gift for her 18th birthday, but after the Bennett family’s troubles and Juliana disappearing, the plan had been delayed.
He stood up and walked to the balcony, lighting a cigarette and taking a few palls. “Don’t bother her tonight. Let her sleep here, Go and bring my luggage
After learning that Matthias was staying the night, Liam Instinctively glanced around at the modest apartment. “Are you staying here?”
Matthias shot him a cold glance. “Is there a problem?”
Liam quickly shook his head. Tll go get it right away.”
It was clear that Matthias could make do with anything when Juliana was around. He could even settle in want to disturb her late at night
n this small
Il apartment just because he didn’t
Liam quickly brought up the luggage.
After he left, Matthias thoroughly checked every corner of the apartment where Juliana stayed, making sure there were no signs of any man living there. After two years of tension, his heart finally relaxed completely. He found a new bath towel, which was light pink and pale yellow–colors typically for women–soft and plush, exactly the kind of homey, cozy style she loved.
Ho casually picked one up and went to the bathroom.
Juliana woke up groggily, feeling the need to use the bathrooms. Reluctantly, she climbed out of bed and beaded toward the bathroom. As soon as she opened the door, she froze.
Matthias was standing there, wrapped in her bath towel around his waist.
All traces of her sleepiness evaporated at the sight of him, leaving her wide awake.
She was about to say something, but then the doorbell rang urgently. She instinctively glanced at the door, then at Matthias
Matthias furrowed his brows. “Is someone looking for you at this hour?”
The wall clock showed it was already 5:00 am. The sky was nearly bright.
The doorbell kept ringing
Adrian had lost his mind. When he saw Yvette suffering from pain, he could no longer stay calm. Not caring what time it was, he went straight to find Juliana He had to get her to agree to let Araria return to the country–Yvette couldn’t wait any longer.
As Matthias walked to the couch, he told Juliana, “Go open the door.”
Juliana’s eyelid: twitched “Do I have to
Before she could finish her sentence, Adrian’s furious voice came from outside. “Juliana, open the door, I need to talk to you.‘
She was shocked
This idiot wasn’t with Yvette, but was here bothering her in the middle of the night. What did he want?
“Il you don’t open the door, I’ll just have someone berak it down!” He yelled angrily, kaowing that such a loud noise would surely wake her up,
Her brow twitched volatly
Did he actually bring a locksmith with him? Was he really going to break down her door? Was there something wrong with his brain? How could be have dated to get someone to unlock her door?
She glanced at Matillas as she thought of what to say.
“Should I hide?
“No. Wait” Seeing the anteningly cold bok on his face, she was the alred to nod. “I have scene wilinished business to resolve with that bastard.
Chetside, Adrian’s angry voice rang out “You didn’t open it yourself. Don’t blame me if I bavak the lock!”
With that, the sound of the door lock being tampered with was followed

That dan man really did bring a locksmith.
Looking at Matthias, the lingering resentment for Adrian was plain to see. She abruptly turned, her mind set on finding her baseball bat and taking our her rage on Adrian. Hun the moment she turned, before her hand could even grasp the bat, the sound of the door being unlocked reached her ears.
He really had a locksmith open her door
She turned around, and her eyes met Adrian’s furious ones.
When he saw the some inside, his brain went blank for a moment
Had he come in the wrong place? Seeing Juliana here was one thing, but
His breath quickened as he pointed at Juliana, pesping, “Inliuna, you, you
sin her apartment!
He was so angry that his words were incoherent. He looked at Mathias, whose handsome face and sharp eyes exuded a commanding presence, as though
Even in his rage, Adrian was momentarily intimidated by that gaze. His eyes slowly moved from Matthias rigid abs down to the bath towel.
There was a mum in Juliana’s apartment who had just taken a shower at this hour.
Had they just…
Adrian’s anger surged. His breathing was erratic as he pointed at Matthias before turning to Juliana. “Is this why you’ve been so determined to call off que engagement?”
A chilling inne marked his words, and his very presence filled the apartment with an undeniable force
Witnessing the tense and potentially volatile situation, the locksmith was so terrified he didn’t riska glance, hastily departing without even requesting payment from Adrian
