Chapter 1647

Arthur did not know how to write and could not compose a letter. Hence, he lost touch with Evelyn after three years.

He had initially assumed that she would have already wed upon his return. To his surprise, the person he had longed for was still waiting for him at home.

Although they hadn't seen each other in years, their reunion was natural, as if they had never been apart. They quickly confirmed their relationship after that.

Arthur hired a matchmaker to formalize their union, and they soon set a date for the wedding.
