Jeremy raised his brow while looking toward Matthew.
Lying on the ground, Yarick followed Jeremy’s gaze to look at Matthew, his eyes widened in disbelief.
“Matt? You…” The pitiful look on his face and his accusatory eyes made him look as if he was a poor lady being dumped by a heartless man.
Pfft!
Both Ellie and Damon couldn’t help but burst into gales of laughter upon seeing his reaction. “Mr. Yarick, stop making that pitiful face. You look like you’re ditched by Uncle Matthew.”
Yarick soon realized he looked silly, so he got up immediately. Before he could ask Matthew the reason why he deserved to be treated this way, the latter had made his way toward the door and left.
He was left scratching his head. “Eh? Jeremy, what have I done? Is Matt mad at me? Why did he suddenly kick my chair? I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?”
Wrapping his arm around the beautiful lady sitting next to him, Jeremy flashed him a mysterious smile while he lazily gave him a piece of advice, “Mind your words.”
“Wait, what did I say?” Yarick was clueless.
Jeremy started a new game with Ellie and the others, not bothering to answer the slow-witted Yarick. As for Yarick, he was still trying to figure out why Matthew treated him that way.
In the meantime, the doorbell rang soon after Clarissa arrived at her apartment.
Through the peephole, she saw Matthew standing behind the door. In fact, she was not surprised at all at his arrival.
She stood there silently, refusing to open the door.
Just then, her phone rang. As soon as she answered the call, she heard the man commanding harshly, “Open the door!”
“Uncle Matthew, it’s late now, and I’m already in bed. If there’s something you want to tell me, you can just say it over the phone.”
The man didn’t respond, but she thought she heard his snicker.
Restlessness crept onto her heart after he ended the call.
Beep! Beep!
