"Calm down, Yulie! It really was a coincidence that | saw it!"
Since Rowan got his Achilles’ heel seized, he raised his hands quickly in surrender.
"1 later found out that you moved out to live by yourself and was worried that no one was there to
cook you breakfast. You've got to eat more. Look at you, you're starving so much you've lost
weight..."
Yolanda listened to Rowan's monologue quietly. If there was a Hoffman who could pass off as an
actor, it would be Rowan.
"Tellthe truth. Why are you here?"
"Uhh..." Rowan's expression changed as he hesitated.
"Are you going to tellor do you wantto investigate it myself?"
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Rowan had no choice but to relent.

"The patriarch arranged for a matchmaking date for me, so | escaped to hide away for a few days."
"A matchmaking date?" Yolanda couldn't help but burst out in laughter. "Why you, though? Caleb,
Isaac, and the rest have no girlfriends yet, right?"
"How would | know what that old man is thinking? For him to skip Caleb and the rest and cstraight for me!"
The Hoffman family had been around for two millennia, and the role of a patriarch and the rest were still valid
within the family. However, the patriarch no longer held actual power in the recent generations but was still held
in high regard within the family.
Even if Rowan did not agree with what he wanted, he couldn't outright resist the patriarch. So, all he could do
was to get on a plane and fly out to seek temporary refuge.
"I see that you have a lot of spare rooms here, Yulie. What if | just stay for a few days?"
Rowan thought that Yolanda's hwas a decent temporary refuge. He had already told Caleb that he would be
away for a business trip. If he could hide in Riverdale for a few days and return a week later, he might be able to
escape unscathed from the matchmaking date.
"No." Yolanda rejected him without hesitation.
"Why? Have you started despisingnow, Yulie?" Rowan was very hurt.
"Did you think that Caleb and the rest wouldn't try to investigate your whereabouts after you leave? There's no
problem with you running away, but don't draginto this. | don't want them to find out about me."
Before Yolanda found out who wanted her dead, and since Nydia-the-fake hadn't exposed herself yet, she could
not expose herself right now.
"I'll just stay with you for three days. Caleb and the rest won't investigate it..." Rowan tried to negotiate.
"Or... two days? One day... | can't go any lower now."
"Once you're done with breakfast, I'll send you to the airport."
Rowan was speechless. "I can't even stay for half a day?" He felt very aggrieved.
"Do you not loveanymore, Yulie?"
"I want my eggs fully cooked and | want an iced americano. There's wholemeal bread in the fridge. | want a tuna
sandwich."
Yolanda suddenly sounded like an emotionless, breakfast-ordering robot. She left the kitchen freely under
Rowan's resentful gaze.
She had to send Gavin a message quickly. If these two were to meet, she would be in trouble once more.
Yolanda felt like her life recently had been very interesting.
Not long after leaving the Henderson residence, she found herself in the airport's waiting room
after eating her first meal in her new house.
"1 got the tickets." Rowan returned to Yolanda's side dejectedly.
"When are you removing this bothersdisguise, Yulie? You don't even look like you anymore."
"How I look right now doesn't look like how I used to anyway."
Yolanda swatted away Rowan's hand, which was gently pinching her arm.
"You have 30 minutes left to board. You can go through the security check now."
"I can't bear to leave you, Yulie!" Rowan started his monologue performance once more. Sadly,
before he could continue further, Yolanda had put a pause to his act immediately.
"Should I tell Caleb that you want to stay here for a few days?"
"No no no, you don't need to." Rowan shook his head rhythmically like a pendulum and headed
toward the security check.
