Chapter 3
Lucas
*Staring at the girl sleeping beside him*
Matilda
*buried her face in his chest*
Lucas
We have few minutes before oldie comes to wake us up by himself.
Matilda
I don't want to stand up
Lucas
Matty, go and wash up.
Or, should I wash up first?
Matilda
I want to stay like this.
Gimme five minutes
Matilda
*looks at him with puppy eyes*
Lucas wasn't able to resist, and they ended up staying like that for more than five minutes.
Matilda's father didn't come inside the room to wake them up.
Lucas
Am surprised he didn't barge in here.
Lucas
I know you are not sleeping, stop trying to trick me.
Lucas
I'll go check on oldie
Matilda reluctantly let go of Lucas and got off the bed, she walked straight to the bathroom.
Lucas knew he would find Mr Daniels in the study, so he didn't bother checking his room.
Lucas
Yes, she is currently taking her bath.
Mr Daniels was smoking.
He was deeply worried, he hated the fact that Matilda wanted to meet Her
Mr Daniels
Did you talk to her?
Mr Daniels
What do you mean by somehow?🤔
Lucas
I didn't really try to convince her to stay.
Mr Daniels
*turned around to look at lucas*
Mr Daniels
*studied him quietly*
Mr Daniels
(this boy, what is he planning?)
Lucas
When will she be back?
Lucas
What do you mean by I don't know??
Lucas
Are you also unbothered like Matty?
Mr Daniels
Who says am not bothered?
Mr Daniels
Does it look like am comfortable with her travelling?
Mr Daniels
She doesn't even want me to go with her.
Lucas knew that when it comes to Matilda the underworld lord is a softie.
Lucas
Why am I the only one that doesn't know who she is going to?
Lucas
*on the verge of crying*
Mr Daniels
Well, I think she will tell you.
Mr Daniels
If you want to cry, go to her because I won't comfort you.
Mr Lucas chuckled bitterly while watching Lucas walk away.
Matilda had finished dressing up. She sat on the floor waiting for Lucas to come back.
Lucas opened the door and walked in.
Matilda knew he wanted answers, and she was ready to tell him.
Matilda
Sit with me,let's talk
Matilda
We still have three hours before my flight
Matilda
I reached out to my mother.
Lucas
You mean the woman that has been following you around for the past two months?
Matilda
Yes, that's my mother.
Matilda
I will be staying with her for a while
Matilda
I don't know when I will be back
Lucas
Why am I just knowing about it?
Matilda
Am sorry, it was hard convincing my dad.
Matilda
I know it will be harder to convince you.
Matilda
that's why I didn't say anything
Lucas
You've made your choice.
Mr Daniels
Aren't we going to eat today?
Matilda
I thought you won't come out.
Mr Daniels has been standing in the shadows for a while listening to their discussion he didn't want to interrupt.
Lucas
When will you stop moving like a ghost?
Matilda stood up and walked towards the door.
Matilda
Who is coming with me?
Lucas
Can you please bring it here 🥺
Matilda
Nope, come and eat downstairs.
They went downstairs to eat knowing fully well that if they delay Matilda will finish the food.
