Chapter 617

After Felton left, Matthew sat in the front hall, staring into its nothingness. His expression remained impassive, even when Harper
approached him after Felton's egress.
"What's wrong, Matthew?" Harper asked in a soft voice. Harper's soothing voice felt like music to his ears.
Matthew shackled his arms around her waist and buried his head in the comfort of her arms. His actions and expressions said a

"Whatever Lady Monica did is all for your own good."
"I know she intended no harm to me. She was just worried that I might harass Chodak again. If I displeased Chodak once again,

"If you do want to understand why, I may have an idea," said Harper. Her eyes shone with a hint of shrewdness.
