If I had told Roderick, it would have been a draw, Matilda wouldn’t have been so stupid.
What’s more, she wanted to disappear more than anyone else.
After much consideration, Andrea finally made up her mind.
She quickly edited the message and sent it out.
“Matilda, tomorrow afternoon at three, Peninsula Cafe, let’s talk, don’t
let him know.”
Soon, the other party replied.
“Why should I listen to you?”
Andrea sneered and rapidly tapped her fingers on the screen.
“You would come, as long as you want to marry him.”
The next day, when Andrea got to the cafe on time, she was surprised to see Matilda already sitting in the corner.
She raised her lips, with a hint of sarcasm.
“Wasn’t Ms. Turner supposed to not care? How come she arrived early?”
Matilda snorted, “I just wanted to see what tricks you were up to again!”
Andrea got straight to the point.

“I want to make a deal with you.
“I needed four days, you find a way to keep Roderick busy, don’t let him notice I’m gone.”
“Where did you get the confidence to think he would revolve around you? Just do your own thing, no need to seek attention here!”
Matilda’s voice was filled with anger.
“If I didn’t leave, do you think you could have married him smoothly?”
Andrea stared into her eyes.
“You’ve been following him for so long, and you still don’t understand him?”
“He didn’t want to do it, no one could force him. You know his feelings for me better than anyone. You don’t want the wedding to be called off, do you?”
Matilda’s face changed and a look of struggle flashed in her eyes.
She definitely knew about Roderick’s feelings for Andrea, and that was the hardest part for her to accept.
“Why should I believe you?”
“Believe it or not.”
Andrea paused.
“This is the only chance, Matilda. Just help me this once, and I will never appear in front of you again.”
After a long silence, Matilda finally gritted her teeth and nodded.
“Okay, I promise you. But you better keep your word!”

When Andrea left the coffee shop, she let out a long sigh of relief.
It’s make or break.
Although Matilda didn’t like her, she should try her best to cooperate in order to marry Roderick.
Can this deal really go through smoothly?
In her heart, she couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
After dinner, Matilda, wearing pajamas, sauntered into Roderick’s study.
The man was staring at the computer screen, dealing with documents without even lifting his head.
Matilda took a deep breath and spoke in the gentlest voice.
“Roderick, my parents arranged a skiing vacation, and I want to… take you and Andrea to relax together.”
Roderick’s hands suddenly stopped tapping on the keyboard, and when he looked up, a hint of caution flashed in his eyes.
“I couldn’t get away recently, and Andrea didn’t go either.”
Matilda’s smile froze slightly at the corner of her lips. Even though she was mentally prepared, his immediate rejection still made her feel defeated.
She bit her lower lip and took out the pre–written words.
“Didn’t we just set the wedding date last night? Since we’re going to be family, Andrea is my sister.”
Matilda didn’t notice the shadow that flashed in the man’s eyes when

she mentioned “setting the wedding date.”
“Plus…I didn’t know any better before and did something that hurt her. Can I just have a chance to apologize this time?”
She took a half step forward and lightly placed her fingertips on his
arm.
