Chapter 878

Matthew looked at Karen with much suspicion. He couldn't tell if she was lying or if she really didn't know anything, but it didn't matter because he wasn't going to leave without meeting David.

"You're right. You might not know what's up, so I'll wait for your dad to return," Matthew said.

Upon hearing that, Karen asked hesitantly, "Why don't you come and wait inside?"

Matthew saw through her doubts and smiled as he said, "I can just wait outside if you feel troubled by it."

It was normal for her to have her guard up because Matthew was merely a stranger, and he understood that as well.

Karen felt a little embarrassed when he aired out her thoughts, so she said, "I'm not worried about that. Besides, you don't seem like that sort of person, so come in and have a seat."

Hence, Matthew followed her into the house. There were cracks in the cemented ground because of how worn out it was, and there was not a single couch in sight -there was nowhere to even take a seat.

Karen then walked toward one of the bedrooms, but she stopped and turned to look at Matthew when his shuffling footsteps came to a halt. "Come on in!"
