Chapter 294


    Chapter 294


    Unable to hide upstairs, Hesper had to go down.


    Arthur couldn’t hide his smile when he watched her walk down. Hesper looked around at the same


    moment and red at him while still looking like a well-behaved person.


    “Hello everyonel Happy birthday Grandpa”


    Arthur smiled and walked over to her. Hesper took a seat next to him and smiled at everyone.


    The first person who noticed Hesper kept praising her, but she couldn’t remember who she was.


    When she turned around, Arthur seemed to be enjoying it, so she just politely let her continue singing


    her praises.


    .Hesper had no idea that she was so highly regarded.


    Arthur waved his hand after having enough fun with the situation. “Alright, alright, this girl is just alright.


    Don’t praise her too much, or it’ll get to her head!”


    Hesper turned around and beamed at him, but he winked back at her.


    “Oh by the way, I think it’s time for Hesper to get married. I remember that she has an arranged


    marriage with that Tucker boy, right?”


    Hesper sighed when she heard that. She had to face this sooner orter, but bringing that up at this


    time was just bad timing.


    Arthur was looking forward to the wedding. When they were young, his eldest son and Nathaniel’s dad.


    met each other while they were in the army. Since they had a simr background and saw eye to eye


    on a lot of things, they became best friends very quickly, and that was how the marriage arrangement


    came about.


    He knew that child was best friends with Matthew… just like their fathers.


    When he remembered his eldest son who passed away at a young age, he felt sorrowful, but when he


    looked at Hesper, he felt better.


    “It’s still up to Hesper. Her work in Genecity just started, so there’s no need to rush into a marriage.”


    Hesper was relieved that Arthur had her back.


    While they were talking, Nathaniel arrived.


    “Nate?”


    Nathaniel walked in and saw Matthew and Simon standing there. He nodded at Simon. “It’s been a


    while, Uncle Simon.”


    Simon smiled and nodded back. “It really has been a while. Thest time I met you, you were still


    studying overseas.”


    “Yes.” Nathaniel scanned the crowd, but Simon teased. “Looking for your fiancée? We were just talking


    about her.”


    Nathaniel didn’t understand, then he heard them asking about their marriage.

    Hesper sat in the middle of the crowd and was in a red fluffy dress. Her ears were read under the light.


    I’m not nning to get married yet. Grandpa is right; I’m focusing on work right now…”


    Hesper’s voice wasn’t too loud or too soft, but they heard her.


    Chapter II


    Matthew knew Hesper didn’t have feelings for Nathaniel. Seeing how they interacted, Nathaniel


    seemed


    to know too.


    He didn’t have an opinion about that. Having a marriage arrangement was ridiculous. Even though both


    their parents were no longer around, the agreement still stood. If the parents just wanted their children


    to be happy, there was no reason to have that agreement.


    Especially when the agreement was made on Hesper’s behalf.
