Chapter 334


    Matthew’s eyes darkened a bit, but the smile on his face remained, “You got a boyfriend already?”


    Estelle hesitated for a moment, and shook her head.


    Matthew shrugged, ‘So, you just don’t like me!”


    His tone was light and yful, without a trace of annoyance.


    “It’s not that!” Estelle looked genuinely sincere. It’s for some special reasons”


    “Alright then!” Matthew nodded understandingly, his handsome face stayed calm and polite, “But, can


    you stay here a bit longer? If you leave now, my grandma will definitely nag meter, saying that I can’t


    chat with girls and managed to drive you away in just a few minutes.”


    Sue couldn’t help but want tough, and nodded, “Let’s read here for a while then.”


    It just so happened that she and Norah’s ssmates didn’t have much to talk about, so sitting here. for


    a while would be nice.


    “Thank you!” Matthew said gratefully.


    Estelle picked a book from the shelf and sat opposite Matthew.


    A long, narrow mahogany table was set between them, covered with a light yellow table g


    embroidered with cloud patterns. Both of them sat on each side quietly reading.


    Next to them, a floor-to-ceiling window was shaded with translucent white curtains. The window was


    open, the summer breeze blowing in, making the curtains gently sway.


    People were walking about in the garden, taking pictures, chatting.


    Estelle turned the pages, her mind drifting. She couldn’t help but nce out the window, as if someone


    was standing there below, shouting at her, “Baby, jump down!”


    Matthew read a few pages, then looked up at Estelle andughed, “Doesn’t this feel like we’re in the


    library at University of J City?”


    Estelle snapped out of her reverie, “What?”


    “Us sitting face-to-face, reading books, doesn’t it remind you of students in the library of University of J


    City?” Matthew repeated, smiling warmly, “It suddenly takes me back to my college days. Back then,


    everyone in our dorm had girlfriends except for me. Every weekend, they’d go on dates, leaving me all


    alone like a loser, so I spent all my time in the library.”


    Estelle said earnestly, “Well, you must’ve been doing much better in your studies than they were!”


    Matthew chuckled, putting down his book, “Let me tell you a funny story. In college, aside from


    attending sses, I almost spent all my time in the library. One weekend, while I was reading, I found a


    note under my book. It read, ‘I’ve been noticing you for a while. Can I ask you out to dinner? 5 o’clock


    this afternoon, I’ll be waiting for you at the school gate. Be there or be square.”


    “I was so excited, thinking that I was finally getting a girlfriend. So I immediately packed up my things


    and left. When I got out of the library, you won’t believe what happened! Guess why?”


    Estelle looked puzzled and shook her head slowly, “I’ve no idea.”

    Matthewughed, “When I stepped out, I saw the sky filled with stars. It was already 8 PMI


    Estelle realized, “What about the girl? Was she still waiting for you?”


    “Of course she had left! What bugged me most was that until I graduated, I never found out who had


    slipped me the note.” Matthew sighed with regret, “A great rtionship just slipped through my


    fingers!”


    Estelle couldn’t help herself andughed softly.


    Upstairs, Jonathan had briefly dozed off on the couch but was now feeling even groggier. He stood up,


    moved to the window, and saw the people ying on thewn. Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and his


    gaze sharpened.


    He strode out and opened the door, went downstairs, and saw Janice organizing the servants to take a


    He slowed his pace and casually asked, “I heard from mom that Matthew would be here today. How


    Janice turned around, smiled lightly, and said, “I’m thinking of introducing Ms. Macin to Matthew.
