Chapter 333
Estelle said casually, “I don’t really read much of this stuff either.”
“You just help him find a few books, and you’ll be doing me a favor Janice said with a warm smile, “I have guests downstairs, you two chat first, I’ll be back soon!”
After saying that, Janice patted Estelle’s shoulder and turned to leave.
Matthew Harper shyly nodded at Estelle, “Sorry for the trouble, Ms. Macclain!”
Estelle smiled and walked over to help him find a book, casually asking, “Do you have any favorite authors, Mr. Harper? Do you prefer essays or novels?”
Matthew laughed, “You don’t have to call me Mr. Harper. You and Norah are classmates, so you can just call me by my name. I also graduated from the University of J City.”
Estelle nodded.
Matthew continued, “I don’t really dig poetry, if there’s any literary novels, you can recommend one for me.”
As Estelle was browsing the shelves, she saw a novel by Sophocles and took out one of his masterpieces, “Oedipus Rex”. She then asked, “How about this one?.”
“That’s fine, looks interesting.” Matthew said modestly, taking the book from Estelle, “Thank you.”

Matthew nodded in agreement, “My aunt and uncle are both very busy with work, traveling a lot, and indeed neglecting Henson.”
Estelle nodded, “Well, I won’t bother you with your reading anymore. I’ll leave first!”
“Don’t go yet!” Matthew hurriedly said, then awkwardly laughed, “I’m sorry.”
Estelle looked at him, puzzled.
Matthew appeared a bit embarrassed, “Actually, my aunt intentionally brought us here, and I think you can probably guess why.”
Estelle was a bit shocked, her eyes widening slightly.
Matthew shrugged helplessly, “Consider this a special kind of blind date. I’m really sorry we didn’t tell you beforehand.”
Estelle frowned, her face getting paler.
Matthew apologized with a smile and said honestly, “I was a well-behaved kid in school, and I’d blush when I talked to girls. There were very few girls at work, so I’ve never been in a relationship. My grandma’s a bit anxious about it and urging me to find a girlfriend. My aunt really likes you and
