Chapter 2985 Reunite with Mr Lucius

The luminous moon hung high as nightfall descended, and the sky was shrouded in darkness.

Matthew was sitting with Sasha, reminiscing about their past and sharing laughs. Suddenly, he noticed her silence and lowered his gaze to find Sasha succumbing to fatigue with her head on his lap. Matthew murmured, "You must be tired." He gently brushed aside Sasha's bangs, his eyes brimming with tenderness.

Amid her slumber, Sasha seemed to hear his voice. With a soft murmur, she settled back into a peaceful sleep. The room was filled only with the gentle rhythm of her breathing.

A soft breeze swept in and rustled Sasha's hair, casting a silver gleam on her fair cheeks and enhancing her innate beauty. However, there was also a slight chill in the air.

Noticing this, Matthew carefully cradled Sasha's head and carried her back to the bedroom.

"Goodnight, sweet dreams," he gently whispered as he tucked her in, kissing her forehead tenderly before quietly slipping out of the room.

Returning to the living room, Matthew meticulously organized the scattered paperwork on the desk and switched off the two remaining lit screens.

With his tasks completed, he went to the kitchen to pour himself a half glass of red wine. Despite his infrequent indulgence, he felt an inexplicable urge to seek solace in tonight's ruby liquid. Despite the comforting facade he had maintained earlier, Matthew grappled with inner turmoil. His mind buzzed with indecision, and he was caught in the crossfire of conflicting forces.
