Chapter 1254

Matthew smiled at me and said, “It’s rare to meet today. Shall we eat together?”

I did not speak, I turned to look at Reynaldo.

Reynaldo squinted his eyes and smiled faintly, saying, “Alright, then let me be the host for Mr. Galatea today; after all, he has come from afar.”

Those people also wanted to curry favor with Matthew.

Matthew directly had the bodyguards drive those people out.

Reynaldo took Matthew to the private room we had reserved.

At this moment, all kinds of ingredients had been prepared.

The soup base in the middle of the table was bubbling vigorously, with a waiter adding ingredients into it.

I sat next to Reynaldo.

Matthew was sitting across from me.

His bodyguard stood behind him.

Although we came to eat fondue, the atmosphere was really tense.

The two looked at each other, the oppression and coldness in their eyes neither giving way to the other.

I didn’t dare to say anything more.

I felt uncomfortable ever since Matthew recognized me in the hallway just now and started staring at me; the look in his eyes was quite unsettling.

I lowered my head and ate my food in silence.

Matthew suddenly laughed inexplicably and went to get some food.

Only Reynaldo didn’t eat.

He took off his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves halfway, ironed vegetables for me, and then put the vegetables into my bowl.

At this moment, Matthew across from me suddenly chuckled softly again.

“Ms. Duffy and Mr. Humphrey haven’t divorced yet. I thought your marriage had ended a long time ago.”

Reynaldo raised an eyebrow and casually asked back, “Mr. Galatea was joking; why would we divorce when our marriage is happy?”

Matthew remained silent, chewing on the words “happy marriage” with a meaningful expression.

After a while, he suddenly pulled at his lips.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like I saw a hint of confusion in his eyes.

After the fondue meal, neither of them mentioned Johnathan.

I actually wanted to ask Matthew how to let go of Johnathan, but I was afraid of asking the wrong question and making things worse.

When they came out of the restaurant, Matthew still had a friendly look on his face, thanking Reynaldo for his hospitality.

When he left, he gave me a meaningful look again, which made me feel uneasy.

Reynaldo frowned and watched his back until Matthew got in the car and left; then, the man looked away.

I asked him anxiously, “What do you think Matthew came to Freybourne for this time?”

Reynaldo led me into the car.

He helped me fasten my seatbelt and smiled at me, saying, “Don’t worry; he’s here. Dealing with Johnathan’s situation will be easier; at least I can talk to him face to face.”

“Why didn’t you mention this to him just now?”

Reynaldo leaned back against the chair, silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice, “Did you notice that his gaze was fixed on you just now?”

I nodded without saying anything.

He sighed and said, “He initially wanted to retaliate against me using Johnathan, but obviously, after seeing you today, he wants to target you again.”

I shook his hand and smiled at him, saying, “Don’t worry; I will be fine. I will protect myself.”

Reynaldo held my hand tightly.

He looked at me deeply and said, “Actually, I am very afraid that he will shift his target to you.”

I could save Johnathan at all costs, but I can’t use you as a trade.

I also knew that you were very worried about Johnathan and wanted to help.
