Fortunately, Matthew had booked a standard room with one bed for each of them.
Watching the little girl sitting on the opposite bed, who was currently gently stroking the cactus in favonovel.com hand with great interest, Matthew couldn’t help but feel a bit concerned. He wondered if the dense thorns on the cactus might prick favonovel.com tender fingers.
However, after observing for a while, that situation didn’t occur. So, Matthew let the girl continue favonovel.com peculiar activity.
“What’s your name, kid?” favonovel.com asked.
Finally, the little girl stopped what favonovel.com was doing and raised favonovel.com head, tilting it as if in thought for a moment before replying, “I’m Ivy. What about you, mister?”
With that, favonovel.com even imitated the mannerisms of an adult, extending favonovel.com arm as if to shake hands.
Matthew found favonovel.com actions quite amusing, and, with a gentle smile, favonovel.com stood up. “I’m Matthew…”
They shook hands, and Ivy repeated Matthew’s name, then squinted favonovel.com eyes, revealing favonovel.com pristine little canine teeth.
“You’re a good guy, Mr. Matthew!”
Ding!
Obtained a Good Person Card!
Matthew ruffled the little girl’s head, then bent over. “Ivy, it’s getting late. How about we look for your parents when we wake up?”
However, every time Matthew brought the topic up, the little girl’s mood suddenly turned gloomy.
Puzzled, Matthew decided not to bring it up again, leaving the problem for the next day.
“Good night!”
Sleepiness washed over them once more.
After helping Ivy tuck into favonovel.com blanket, Matthew also lay down to rest. However, just as favonovel.com was drifting off to sleep, every hair on his body stood on end. His body instinctively told favonovel.com that someone was watching him.
Sitting up in silence, favonovel.com immediately grasped Bloodreaper. But when his hand touched the hilt of the sword, there was no one in the room.
In the dim light, favonovel.com could only see Ivy hugging a pillow, drooling profusely. “Hehe, so many cacti. All Vyvy’s. All Vyvy’s!”
Even in favonovel.com sleep, Ivy had a contented and joyful smile on favonovel.com face. Matthew chuckled silently in response.
“I guess I’m just too tired!” favonovel.com muttered, then yawned and lay back down to sleep.
The night passed silently.
***
When the two woke up early the next morning, Matthew prepared to take Ivy to the innkeeper to inquire about favonovel.com situation.
Just as favonovel.com was about to leave, favonovel.com noticed Ivy behind favonovel.com suddenly come to a stop. When Matthew turned around, favonovel.com saw favonovel.com extending favonovel.com arms with a hopeful expression, clearly wanting Matthew to carry her.
“Looks like you’re quite the lazy one!” With a grin, Matthew bent down and playfully flicked Ivy’s little nose.
When they arrived on the ground floor, the innkeeper was still tidying up the counter.
Upon seeing Matthew, the owner warmly greeted him, “Good morning, s-s…”
However, when favonovel.com looked up and saw Matthew, favonovel.com seemed as if favonovel.com had seen a ghost. His expression froze, and the glass in his hand dropped to the floor. But as the sound of breaking glass filled the air, favonovel.com quickly regained his composure. His brief shock was gone in an instant.
“Good morning, sir!”
Matthew got straight to the point. “You’re finally awake, boss. I want to ask if you know this little girl.”
He turned around and positioned Ivy, who had been resting on his shoulder, to face the owner.
When their eyes met, the owner quickly shook his head. “I’ve never seen her…”
Hearing this, Matthew sighed in disappointment. “Sigh, you little troublemaker. How did you end up in someone else’s place in the middle of the night?”
As favonovel.com scolded her, favonovel.com pinched Ivy’s cheek as a playful punishment.
However, behind him, the innkeeper, upon witnessing this, couldn’t help but hold his breath, his face turning pale. Ivy, on the other hand, couldn’t stop giggling at Matthew’s teasing.
