Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 477

"Calm down, Yulie! It really was a coincidence that I saw it!"

Since Rowan got his Achilles' heel seized, he raised his hands quickly in surrender.

"I later found out that you moved out to live by yourself and was worried that no one was there to cook you breakfast. You've got to eat more. Look at you, you're starving so much you've lost weight…"

Yolanda listened to Rowan's monologue quietly. If there was a Hoffman who could pass off as an actor, it would be Rowan.

"Tell me the truth. Why are you here?"

"Uhh…" Rowan's expression changed as he hesitated.

"Are you going to tell me or do you want me to investigate it myself?"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Rowan had no choice but to relent.

"The patriarch arranged for a matchmaking date for me, so I escaped to hide away for a few days."

"A matchmaking date?" Yolanda couldn't help but burst out in laughter. "Why you, though? Caleb, Isaac, and the rest have no girlfriends yet, right?"

"How would I know what that old man is thinking? For him to skip Caleb and the rest and come straight for me!"

The Hoffman family had been around for two millennia, and the role of a patriarch and the rest were still valid within the family. However, the patriarch no longer held actual power in the recent generations but was still held in high regard within the family.

Even if Rowan did not agree with what he wanted, he couldn't outright resist the patriarch. So, all he could do was to get on a plane and fly out to seek temporary refuge.

"I see that you have a lot of spare rooms here, Yulie. What if I just stay for a few days?"

Rowan thought that Yolanda's home was a decent temporary refuge. He had already told Caleb that he would be away for a business trip. If he could hide in Riverdale for a few days and return a week later, he might be able to escape unscathed from the matchmaking date.

"No." Yolanda rejected him without hesitation.

"Why? Have you started despising me now, Yulie?" Rowan was very hurt.

"Did you think that Caleb and the rest wouldn't try to investigate your whereabouts after you leave? There's no problem with you running away, but don't drag me into this. I don't want them to find out about me."

Before Yolanda found out who wanted her dead, and since Nydia-the-fake hadn't exposed herself yet, she could not expose herself right now.

Not long after leaving the Henderson residence, she found herself in the airport's waiting room after eating her first meal in her new house.

"I got the tickets." Rowan returned to Yolanda's side dejectedly.

"When are you removing this bothersome disguise, Yulie? You don't even look like you anymore."

"How I look right now doesn't look like how I used to anyway."

Yolanda swatted away Rowan's hand, which was gently pinching her arm.

"You have 30 minutes left to board. You can go through the security check now."

"I can't bear to leave you, Yulie!" Rowan started his monologue performance once more. Sadly, before he could continue further, Yolanda had put a pause to his act immediately.

"Should I tell Caleb that you want to stay here for a few days?"

"No no no, you don't need to." Rowan shook his head rhythmically like a pendulum and headed toward the security check.
