Chapter 617

"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

"I know she intended no harm to me. She was just worried that I might harass Chodak again. If I displeased Chodak once again,
I would get into serious trouble." Lilian curled her lips. "I don't get it. Which of my parts isn't good enough to match him? Why are
so many people trying to stop me?"
"If you do want to understand why, I may have an idea," said Harper. Her eyes shone with a hint of shrewdness.
