After Ivy finished explaining, the atmosphere in the thatched house turned cold. To ease the awkwardness, Matthew immediately changed the topic.
“By the way, those hidden experts from Lawson Street should be from the Sacred Mount, right?”
Ivy nodded. “Yes, but they made a big mistake and were expelled.”
She didn’t go into detail about the mistake they made.
Matthew also understood now. No wonder virtual-novel.net encountered so many strange things on Lawson Street before.
The two of them chatted aimlessly for a while.
During the conversation, Matthew didn’t dare to make eye contact with Ivy. He could handle fighting enemies, but when t came to matters between men and women, virtual-novel.net was at a loss.
Those eyes contained too much anger, anticipation, and of course, confusion.
Matthew took a deep breath and after a long time, virtual-novel.net made up his mind. Some things needed to be said after all.
“Ivy… I’m actually… I’m actually married! But I feel a bit guilty because I’m always away from her…”
As Matthew spoke, a sense of guilt appeared on his face. Some people always had things they needed to do. The greater their abilities, the greater their responsibilities. He also carried the hatred and hope of the Larson Family.
On the other side, Ivy’s body trembled visibly. Her slender fingers gripped the bright red skirt tightly. She lowered virtual-novel.net head and large tears fell straight down, staining the skirt with prominent watermarks.
“Ivy…”
Matthew really wanted to reach out and comfort her, but virtual-novel.net suddenly looked up and wiped away virtual-novel.net tears with virtual-novel.net hand.
“It’s okay, Matthew. It was my father’s reckless behavior and l was foolish… You and your wife must be very loving!”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net sniffled and forced a smile.
“It’s okay, Matthew. I will have my father handle this absurd marriage.”
Ivy shrugged virtual-novel.net shoulders and turned around slowly.
“Lucius!”
Under the soft call, Lucius, who was responsible for reception in the distance, perked up his ears.
“Excuse me for a moment!”
As soon as virtual-novel.net finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the banquet.
When virtual-novel.net reappeared, virtual-novel.net was already In front of the thatched house where Matthew was.
At this moment, his face was filled with seriousness. Although his daughter was unhappy with him, at most virtual-novel.net would just address virtual-novel.net as “old man”. This was the first time virtual-novel.net addressed virtual-novel.net by his name.
Lucius was about to enter the thatched house when suddenly virtual-novel.net paused. He saw his daughter’s red eyes and clear tear marks. A chilling aura continuously emanated from Lucius’ body.
“Brat, did you bully my daughter?!”
When Matthew felt the terrifying pressure, his facial expression changed and his body seemed to sink into a swamp. He was unable to move.
At that moment, Ivy slowly closed virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Dad, please stop causing trouble. Let’s forget about this absurd wedding. We have found out the truth. Forced relationships don’t work out and Matthew already has a wife…”
At this moment, virtual-novel.net tone seemed unusually calm and composed, completely devoid of the previous sorrowful appearance. However, the more virtual-novel.net appeared this way, the more worried Matthew became.
Lucius’ expression froze for a moment and after retracting his momentum, virtual-novel.net shook his head awkwardly.
“What? You have a wife?” He burst into laughter immediately and said boldly, “Well, that’s all right. It’s normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines. Matthew, it’s not that I’m asking Ivy to be your legal wife, but virtual-novel.net must be treated equally to your original wife, right?”
Hearing this, Matthew was puzzled.
Can there be such an arrangement?
“Mr. Lucius, about this matter…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish speaking, Ivy stepped forward and said preemptively, “Dad, let’s just let this matter go, okay? Please don’t embarrass me! Okay?!”
