But Betty shook her head and said , “ Being able to see so many of the artist’s paintings in one place is already an honor for me . I don’t want to disturb him . ”
Since she had made up her mind , Matthias had no choice but to drop the idea . Still , with the Lockets and the Shaws present , he was a little worried about them ..

Jorge nodded . “ Yeah . Where’s your grandfather ? “.
“ He’s inside , chatting with some guests . He’ll probably take a while . Why don’t you guys have a seat ? ”
Jorge sat down . “ Alright . ”
But Matthias seemed restless , constantly checking the time
Caleb noticed and asked , “ Matthias , are you in a hurry ? ”
Matthias hesitated . “ … No , I just have something else to take care of . ” Leaving without meeting Harry would seem impolite .
However , his concern outweighed his manners . He said , “ Sorry , Caleb , I need to step out for a bit. ”
Caleb didn’t mind . “ Go ahead . ”
Matthias immediately turned and left .
