A Journey from Bitterness to Truth

Chapter 104

Matilda had no idea that a storm had hit Mason; she had spent her night in blissful slumber, taking a day off just to celebrate Gideon’s birthday. The siblings hit the town, shopping bags in hand, and by dusk, Matilda was hailing a cab. She flashed Gideon a grin, “Hey, I’m off to the Boyd’s to pick up Logan.”

“You’ve got thirty minutes, tops,” Gideon looked worried. “If you aren’t back in half an hour, I’m heading over to the Boyd’s to find you both!”

“Chill, I got this.” Matilda handed her shopping haul to Gideon. “I’ll grab a cake on my way back. You better have dinner ready when I get home!”

“Deal!” Gideon might have agreed, but he was still anxious. He flagged down another cab and added, “Remember to watch your back, and don’t go head–to–head with Yvan. If things get hairy, call me!”

“Don’t worry so much!”

With a reassuring smile, Matilda slid into the cab, taking a deep breath as her eyes hardened with determination.
