Matthew started but seemed to lose his confidence and trailed off. I continued with my
task and refrained from speaking. After all, I was the victim, so it would be illogical for me
to offer advice or help.
Suddenly, we heard knocks at the door, and Matthew hurried to open it. We were
surprised to see Ivannal at the house.
She entered, slammed the door, and shouted at Matthew, “You’re a heartless bastard! I
don’t even know what to say right now!”
Matthew knew she was always fiery and straightforward. Moreover, her outburst didn’t

realize
something, and Matthew’s eyes lit up.
After a pause, Ivanna said, “Hey, why are you still standing there? Come out of the
kitchen! Matthew, just
order some takeout. I’m starving. Given your current moods, I wouldn’t dare eat the food
you cook. 1
“Let’s enjoy some good food while we discuss things. A good meal can always make us
feel better, after
Matthew quickly complied and ordered several takeout dishes. Then he pulled me over to
sit beside him, speaking gently to soothe me..
I couldn’t help but admire Ivanna’s quick thinking. Her idea to devise a plan would benefit
