Chapter 365


    Chapter 365


    Everyone said that the eldest son of the Lanes-Rachel and Matthew’s father-was Arthur’s most favored


    son. However, they knew very little about Theodore, Arthur’s fifth son.


    Hesper was pretty certain that Matthew was speaking the truth. She could not help but think, ‘So


    Theodore’s Grandpa Arthur’s favorite son? No wonder Theodore has been living in the Lane Manor.


    Come to think of it, if it were Uncle Simon who stayed at home and did nothing but tend to the flowers


    and nts, Grandpa would’ve kicked him out of the house a long time ago…”

    However…


    Hesper knocked her forehead and said helplessly, “I already didn’t want to go before I knew that it was


    a matchmaking session. And now that I know, I want to go even less. Is there any way I can. escape


    from it?”


    Matthew looked at her for a moment then said, “Well, you can do what I did and bring a sister with you


    as your shield.”


    “Matthew!”


    No matter how unwilling she was, Hesper had to attend the banquet.


    She did not want to embarrass Arthur, so she asked Roberto to prepare a dress for her. Even if it was


    not custom-made to fit her perfectly, a dress prepared by Roberto would be presentable.


    “This dress looks really good on you, Hesper. You really have good taste,” Arthurmended, while


    criticizing Theodore for staying at home all day and not going out.


    The dress that Hesper wore did not have a fancy design. It was white, and although she stood out in


    the crowd wearing the dress, she would not attract too much attention with it.


    It was true that Hesper wanted to make Arthur proud before everyone, but she was not fond of


    bing amodity that was waiting to be selected by other people. After all, being a member of


    the matchmaking session was a whole different thing.


    “Alright, did Matt tell you something?”


    Hesper nodded. She then coiled her arm around Arthur’s and said helplessly, “Grandpa, you should.


    stop trying to look for a partner for me. I feel pretty good being single. It’s more rxing and I don’t


    have too many burdens. After all, I… I still have a lot of things to settle in thepany..


    “Alright, alright… Arthur cut her short while waving his hand. “I’ll stop teasing you. I just want you to


    know more people this time. There are a lot of things going on with the families in Emperion, so it’s


    good for you to know more people.


    “Speaking of which, what’s going on between you and the Tuckers? When are you two going to finalize


    everything? I’m very worried, you know?”


    ‘Here he goes again…’ Hesper let out a sigh.


    Initially, she had nned to rify everything and terminate her engagement with Nathaniel. But


    after learning about Arthur’s thoughts, she knew it would not be so simple.


    In any case, Hesper was a bit helpless as she entered the banquet hall holding Arthur’s arm.


    As soon as she entered the banquet hall, she was weed by a group of young people, each one


    more beautiful and elegant than thest. They mingled and toasted to each other, and Hesper was


    momentarily taken aback before she was led into the crowd by Arthur.


    This was the first time Hesper showed up on such an asion, so it was only fitting that she should


    strive to impress and astonish everyone with her appearance and demeanor.


    “It’s been a while, Silvan,” greeted Arthur, standing with the support of his cane. Hesper saw a young


    man in the middle of the crowd turn his head, revealing a face so stunningly charming that he looked


    like a princeing out of a fairy tale.
