Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 575

Reading the message Howard had sent, Harper frowned slightly and said, "I didn't expect Walden to be so cold-blooded too."

"All members of the royal family are heartless," Matthew said while reviewing the official documents. Felix and he were both heartless men after all. The only difference between the two of them was that he prioritized his principles, while Felix prioritized his interests.

"Nonsense, you are not at all like them," Harper said, crumpling up the slip of paper in her hand. "Rumor has it that the Longevity Pill can prolong a human's life. Is there really such a miraculous medicine anywhere in the world?"

"With everyone talking about it now, I think there is indeed such a medicine, but we don't know whether it's as effective as it's rumored to be," Matthew said, extending his arm to grab her waist and make her sit on his lap. "After all, no one has ever eaten it before."

"Would you like some?" Harper asked, pinching his chin playfully. "Look at me, Matthew. Do you want it?"

Looking at her peacefully, Matthew asked, "Want what?"

"The pill," Harper said quickly.

"Do I want it..." Matthew repeated her question, emphasizing every word. There was a glint rising in his eyes, which she still hadn't noticed.

She nodded and echoed, "Yeah, do you want it... Ah!"

Matthew pinched her waist. Harper screamed in shock and glared at him. "What do you think you're doing?"

A handsome and devilish smile crept up at the corners of Matthew's mouth. "Have I misunderstood you? Didn't you say you wanted it?"

"I mean the pill..." Noticing the growing passion in Matthew's eyes, Harper tried to remember their conversation. In a flash, she realized that her husband misconstrued her words intentionally. She managed to keep her composure, but her earlobes turned red. "You are not being serious!"

With smiling eyes, Matthew said, "I'm perfectly serious. I simply answered your question. I want it. What, don't you want it now?"

Matthew looked as hard and cold as ice, but actually he was an expert at flirting with her. Harper was no match for him in that aspect. She could make fun of him before, but nowadays, when she spoke any word with even any vague sexual suggestiveness, she would be the one to admit defeat in the end.

"I'm trying to talk serious business with you," Harper complained. She pushed Matthew's chest to keep him at a distance from her.
