Chapter 68. Gia Helps Matteo

Matteo stood in front of Mitchell Mansion in Brentwood Park for ten minutes, unable to decide what to do. He hadn’t expected Emilia to live in a palace fit for a princess. It was the grandest house in the entire neighborhood, and he glanced at himself ruefully.

With bruises all over his body, the bandages still intact since he had to undertake a strenuous flight, he didn’t at all look his best. In fact, he looked like a mobster, with his tattooed and disheveled appearance. What if they threw him out?

After a few minutes, the gates opened, and a young girl of around sixteen emerged. She hastened towards the departmental store around the corner and Matteo followed her. He could ask her about Emilia.

He followed her into the store and stood beside her while she shopped in the skincare section. Suddenly, her glance fell upon him and she did a double take. Seeing his chance, Matteo smiled at her.

“Hi! I’m sorry for following you here, but I’m completely harmless.”
