Chapter 2622 The Quarrel Before the Cruise

Overwhelmed by the warm invitation of the Stubber father and son, Matthew eventually agreed to have dinner with them.

"Matthew, you don't sound like a local here," Isambard asked during the meal, trying to make conversation. Matthew simply evaded the question. "Indeed, I'm not a local. I've come from out of town.

"I see. Well, Matthew, let me raise a toast to you. Thank you for your help; my son's life was saved because of you," Isambard expressed his gratitude sincerely, raising his glass as he stood up. Naturally, Matthew had to stand up as well and return the gesture.
