Matilda went on to say, “I’m sorry that I left your home the other day without informing you. My family wanted me to go home immediately.” Forcing a smile, she said, “Nevertheless, I don’t think you care about this.”

William turned to glance at Richard again, who happened to look in his direction as well. As a confident man, Richard flashed a smile at William, whose expression remained glacial.
