Chapter 743

Matilda had not met Raegan before and had no idea of ​​her identity. "Henley, who is she?" he asked.

Henley calmly replied, “My sister-in-law.”

Sister-in-law… The same woman from the scandalous video! Matilda immediately stepped forward, grabbing Henley's arm as if to mark her presence. "Hello.

Raegan barely managed a smile and barely acknowledged Matilda's greeting. He quickly excused himself to leave, leaving the two.

A hint of discomfort appeared on Matilda's face as she leaned against Henley, whispering, "Henley, why doesn't he seem to like me?"

Henley replied softly, "No, you're thinking too much."

Matilda looked at him; his restless expression. «But… it seems that there is something between you two…»

"Matilda." Henley's smile weakened a bit, looking quite intimidating.

It seemed like a normal call, but Matilda strangely felt a hint of danger in it. Instinctively, he began to apologize: "I'm sorry, Henley..."

Small fights between boyfriends could often be light and mocking.

Matilda had lost her cool over minor matters in the past, but she had never seen Henley with such a stern look. It was the first time I perceived him as slightly intimidating.

However, in the next second, Henley gently pulled her closer and complimented her, “My dear, you are really wonderful.”

His handsome face seemed to radiate affection.

Matilda melted instantly, feeling warmth and sweetness in her heart, and quickly put aside her recent irritation. She hugged him tightly, burying her head in his chest. "Henley, I'll go tonight..."

This was Matilda's main reason for coming today. They had known each other for two months and were dating. It was the right time to deepen their relationship beyond ordinary courtship.

Henley's giggle was soft, his whisper mocking. "Coming to my house... Aren't you worried that I might try something with you?"

Matilda blushed deeply. She hugged him tighter, saying mockingly, "You're such a naughty boy..."

If Matilda had looked up then, she would have seen Henley's expression, cold and devoid of any warmth or love.

Henley murmured hoarsely, “I have to stay late at work tonight to finish the project…”

Disappointed but wanting to be understanding, Matilda replied: "Of course, work comes first."

Eager to offer her help, she said, "If there's anything my father can do to help, just say it."

“Sure,” Henley replied, hugging her quickly. They looked like a couple in love.

Back in her studio, Raegan reflected on her recent performance. He could say with confidence that his performance had been quite convincing.

From his act of kneeling to his displays of anger, desperation, and final acceptance, Raegan assumed he had deceived Henley.
