A Journey from Bitterness to Truth

Chapter 91



For an entire day after the incident, Matilda didn’t step foot outside her home.

Gideon, feeling distressed for her, took it upon himself to handle her business affairs. He met with Micah to discuss their upcoming collaboration, and in the midst of it, the topic of the drugging came up.

Micah was utterly shocked, apologizing profusely and promising to make a personal apology with his son in tow when he found the time.

Gideon had been all set to give Micah a piece of his mind, but the old man’s sincere remorse and the silver streaking through his hair softened Gideon’s resolve. Troy had really let down a good man, his father.

As Matilda rested at home, Gideon started sketching designs for their new project.

Micah had approached them to create a spin on the trendy “box bag” style. There were numerous distinct kinds of box bags. To stand out, they would need to infuse their bags with a unique flair, something to carve out their own niche in the market.

Gideon saw it as a fresh challenge for the studio, one that could potentially bring them fame and fortune once it succeed.

After a few days of recuperation, Matilda ventured back to the studio. As she left work, she decided to drop by Logan’s place, timing it perfectly to miss Yvan’s return from the office.

Violet was away traveling, a convenient absence that spared Matilda any awkward encounters.

Meanwhile, as Yvan was wrapping up his day, Carl approached him with deference, “Mr. Boyd, you have a visitor.

“Who is it?” Who would come looking for him after hours?

Before he could ponder any further, the clicking of high heels echoed through the hall and a slender figure rushed in, throwing herself into his arms as he stood up, “Yvan! It’s me!”

As Yvan looked down at the familiar face nestled against him, his icy demeanor. melted away. He brushed her cheek, “Ella?”

It was Ella Archer, with her cascading waves and the kind of knockout figure that turned heads. Yvan, exceptionally, flashed her a smile, and then asked, “Why you didn’t give me a heads–up before coming here?” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Ella replied coyly. “To give you a surprise, of course! You’re so cold, Yvan. You didn’t even come to pick me up from the airport, so I had to come find you!”

Yvan remembered receiving her call the day Matilda had left, which had driven him to a night of drinking instead of welcoming Ella back.

The thought of Matilda darkened Yvan’s eyes momentarily, but Ella, noticing his silence and distraction, pinched his cheek playfully, “Hey, Yvan, where did you drift off to?”

In all of Sea City, only Ella dared to be so bold with Yvan. Other women kept their distance, intimidated by his steely aura. Ella, who bore a striking resemblance to her sister Rachel Archer, was vibrant and untamed, unlike the more demure Rachel.

Seeing Ella’s face, so like Rachel’s, stirred something different in Yvan now. Why did Matilda’s image invade his thoughts when he looked at Ella?

He closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath. When they opened again, he was the impassive heir of the Boyd family, a man who never lingered on any woman.

With a mischievous smirk, he twirled a lock of Ella’s hair around his finger, “How about I make it up to you by taking you out tonight? There’s this renowned restaurant I know.”

“Humph!” Ella looped her arms around his neck, “A welcome kiss first. Then we can talk about how you’ll make it up.”
