"Don't worry, without you, Matilda still has little Thomas. It's too late for regrets now, you can go find your Uncle if you want."
Ethan stood up, "Just stay here peacefully, anything you want to do or say, you can tell me."
Nathaniel said, "Don't tell Matilda that I've been caught."
Ethan said unkindly, "Don't worry, even if I did, she wouldn't worry about you..."
Nathaniel gave a self-deprecating smile. Indeed, he guessed that if she found out, she would probably just think, if he's been caught, then who will cook for her, who will tidy up her room?
Matilda... Matilda... He had only been away from her for half a day, and he was already starting to miss her.
Not telling her isn't because he's afraid she'll worry, but rather... he doesn't want her to see him in this shabby state.
Perhaps every man and woman wants to show their best side to the one they adore, not... their most pathetic moment.
