Chapter 513 Making a Deal (Part Two) A hint of awkwardness appeared on Matilda's face as she leaned against Henley, whispering, "Henley, why does it feel like she doesn't like me?" Henley responded gently, "No, you're thinking too much." Matilda gazed at him, her expression uneasy. "But... It seems like there's something between you two..." "Matilda."
