Since your aunt is here, well have to welcome her properly as hosts,Matthew suddenly said with a gentle tone, having remained quiet all this while. He lifted his head, only for his gaze to directly meet Elises

His gaze… was completely different from Alexanders; it actually had a hint of brightness in it
