60.Chapter 660
After all, it was his first meal back at the Duke’s estate, and he had plans to “bond” with his family over dinner.
Too bad Rafe’s grand plans didn’t pan out. The moment he returned to the estate, he ended up in a fight.
Matthew dragged Rafe back to the Duke’s estate, dumped him at the front gate, and walked off without another word.
As soon as Matthew left, the steward quickly made his escape as well.
This one was truly a handful–a real troublemaker.
Better to leave it for the Duke himself to deal with.
“Hey, wait! Where is everyone? Why is everyone rushing off like they’ve got somewhere better to be? Matthew? Is anyone here? No one even bothered to tell me where I’m supposed to stay!”
Before Rafe could even process what was happening, he looked around and found that there wasn’t a single person in sight.
It was like they were avoiding the plague.
Rafe scoffed in disdain. “Fine, fine. If no one’s going to help, I’ll just wander around and figure it out myself.”
With that, he picked a random direction and strolled off, acting like he knew exactly where he was going.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the estate, Matthew had already returned to his courtyard.
He was packing up, preparing to sneak out of the city with his men after dark to handle another task assigned by his father.
At the same time, he seemed to be waiting for something.
Not long after, a servant came rushing in, looking flustered.
“Master, something’s wrong!”
Matthew immediately stopped what he was doing and turned around. “What happened? Where did he go?”
The servant, tasked with keeping an eye on Rafe, stammered nervously, “He went to…” “Matthew, what are you snooping around for? Got something you want to ask? Why not ask me directly?”
