There were cameras installed behind the door, next to the floor lamp, and on the corner cabinet.
“Are you watching me?”
Andrea glared angrily.
In contrast, Roderick was calm, even unusually gentle.
“Andie, I was just worried about your safety, afraid that something might happen to you while you were home alone.”
Andrea raised her eyebrows, looking at him expressionlessly.
The two of them stood facing each other in silence, until the doorbell suddenly rang
“Roderick!”
Matilda’s voice came through the door, sweet and cloying, “You said you’d pick me up at nine, why didn’t you answer the phone?”
Roderick furrowed his brow, but his gaze was still fixed on Andrea’s face.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, “You made an appointment.”
“Do you want me to go?” he suddenly asked, absentmindedly rubbing the armrest of the sofa.
Andrea looked up and gave a perfect smile, “Of course, she’s your fiancee, you should be with her.”

There was the sound of keys turning at the entrance.
Matilda had a spare key to this villa.
“Roderick!”
Matilda pushed the door open and walked in, wearing a pink suit today, looking like a delicate doll.
Seeing the two people at the bathroom door and the mess on the floor, she exaggeratedly covered her mouth and said, “Oh my, sister, what happened to you?”
“Are you hurt?”
The bloodstains that have been cleaned up are particularly eye- catching.
Knowing full well what had happened in this bedroom, Matilda still acted like she didn’t know anything, and took the initiative to ask about Andrea.
“Did you have a fight with Roderick? But today you can’t be in a bad mood, we are going to pick the most important ring of our lives.”
She said, she linked her arm with Roderick’s and nuzzled her head against his shoulder.
“Roderick, they wanted that pigeon egg diamond ring, you think it’s good or not?”
Wedding rings…
Andrea felt a sharp pain in her stomach, but she didn’t show it on her face.
When I turned to leave, Roderick grabbed my wrist.

“Let’s go together.”
His voice was deep, with a tone that brooked no refusal.
Matilda’s eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, then quickly changed to a sweet smile.
“Yeah, yeah, my sister also helped to choose, after all, you have the best eye.”
Between the lines, it’s all about asserting sovereignty.
Roderick suddenly turned to look at Matilda.
“You went to my bedroom, helped me find the cufflinks.”
Matilda sensed he was trying to brush her off, felt a bit resentful, but didn’t want to make a scene.
“Okay.”
She twisted her waist and entered the bedroom.
Andrea avoided Roderick’s intense gaze and reiterated once more.
“I didn’t go with you guys.”
No sooner had I finished speaking, someone grabbed me around the waist.
Roderick’s breath brushed past her ear, the scent of mint mixed with tobacco making her stiffen all over.
“I was just playing along with her to please my family. In the future, when we get married, I will have a 10–carat ring custom–made for you, engraved with our names.
Warm fingers rubbed her waist, “Andie, trust me again, I will shout it

from the rooftops…”
“Roderick, I couldn’t find your cufflinks.”
Matilda’s coquettish complaint came right on time.

The moment Roderick let go of his hand, Andrea took a step back and knocked over the edge of the table, the crystal vase wobbling dangerously with a loud hum.
“I’ll go check it out, Andie, you go change clothes, we’ll leave together later.”
Roderick didn’t even look back and gave orders.
