The man in front of me was all too familiar to me.
Matthew looked at me with a smile. It was obvious that he had been expecting me. There was not the slightest surprise on his face. "Wanda, long time no see. How have you been?"
Long time no see indeed.
I had not heard from him ever since we parted ways on bad terms the last time.
I did not expect to see him at Regal Villa today.
I frowned. Xander and Jerome’s words were lingering in my ears. The person was a big spender and had paid without a word after learning that it was a villa in Regal Villa. So, the person who bought this villa was Matthew. What was he planning?
With defensiveness in my eyes, I took a step back, my expression serious. "Did you buy this place?"
He nodded cheerfully without hesitation.
It seemed that he had no intention of hiding this.
"Why here?" I asked directly without a trace of hesitation. "My friend said you paid the money immediately after you found out that it was a house in Regal Villa. You’ve obviously had your eyes on this place, don't tell me it's a coincidence."
Hearing this, Matthew raised his head and chuckled. He then lowered his gaze to look at me, a small smile still gracing the corners of his mouth. His expression was casual, and his tone was quite relaxed, "You’ve already decided that I came here with a purpose, so why ask me?"
I was stunned by his blunt words. I thought he would still put on some pretense but he did not even do that. I gulped and looked at him with a guarded gaze. “Just what the h*ll are you trying to do?!"
I saw Matthew smile. He took a step closer to me, the arc of his smile never fading. "Wanda, I’ve said it before, I will not give up."
He said with determination in his eyes.
This shocked me. Was Matthew here for me again?
