Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 615

When Lilian heard that Francis wanted to send someone with a congratulation present to Matthew's mansion, she immediately volunteered to be the bearer. Francis accepted her offer. He gave the gift directly to her and asked her to send it to Matthew's mansion.

In just a few days, the news of Harper's pregnancy had spread throughout the imperial capital. Some people were happy, some worried, and some disdainful. No matter what happened outside, it was harmonious inside Matthew's mansion.

"Your Highnesses, a visitor has come to see you," Noah reported when he came in. "He says that he is an old friend of yours. He wants to express his gratitude to you for the carriage that you once gave him."

"The carriage?" Matthew repeated. He was puzzled by this, at first. But after a brief moment of consideration, he realized who was outside demanding to see him. Without raising his head or making any hesitation, he answered, "I won't see him. Send him away."

"He said he would like to meet Lady Harper if you don't want to see him. He said that fate has brought him here to meet her, and that Lady Harper might need his help." Noah delivered the message carefully. It seemed to him that the man outside might be difficult to get along with, despite a kind demeanor.

Upon hearing this news, Matthew frowned a bit and seemed a bit displeased to hear Harper mentioned like that. At that moment, Matthew was forcing Harper to eat some health food. As she was not enjoying it, she was wondering how to get out of there. Noah's report came at just the right time. She made an excuse and said at once, "We should be happy to welcome an old friend who travels to us from afar. Noah, please show him to the front hall."

"Yes, Your Highness,"

Noah replied at once. Seeing that Harper was about to welcome the guest, Noah left at once to prepare. Since Harper was pregnant, he knew that he had better obey her orders no matter what she said. Otherwise, she would be as likely to lose her temper with the servants as she would at Matthew.

"You've just met him once and he is still practically a stranger to you. I don't think there is any need for you to meet him!" Matthew talked back at once, trying to stop his wife from seeing that man. He would always grow unhappy whenever he remembered the time Harper gave the carriage to Felton. Now that man was bold enough to come to their house. Such cheek!

"It doesn't matter. Let's see what he's up to," Harper said in a spoiled way as she took her husband's arm. "Come on. Let's go. The imperial physician has advised us that pregnant women should take walks. I should exercise for a bit. Don't you agree?"

"All right," Matthew said helplessly, finally surrendering. Although he didn't want Harper to meet Felton, he knew he was powerless to stop it. Matthew was well aware that Felton was a shrewd man. Even if he could stop them from meeting this time, it was very likely that Felton would try some other means to see Harper. Thinking of this, he thought it would be better to let them meet with each other straightforwardly today.

When Felton looked at the calligraphy hanging in the front hall, a touch of appreciation flashed through his eyes. Every character and every stroke of the calligraphy were sharp and powerful as iron. It made people feel encouraged. With just a glance at it, people could feel a strong and deadly aura rushing to their face from the calligraphy. It gave people the same feeling when they were face to face with Matthew. With that thought, Felton guessed that this calligraphy was written by Matthew. He had to admit that Matthew was indeed an impressive man in every respect.

"Felton, I didn't expect to see you again so soon," Harper said as she and Matthew walked in arm in arm. Obviously, they were a happy couple. Harper had a radiant smile, while Matthew's facial expression was cool. The two different auras, rather than conflicting, were actually in perfect harmony.

As Felton let his eyes settle upon Harper, he sighed, "We separated that day in such a hurry. As you seemed to be a proud and self-respecting person, I was amazed that you would stay with Prince Matthew, who is a married man. I did not imagine that you were actually his wife until this moment."

Harper smiled gently and answered, "When I travel around, it can be inconvenient to wear women's clothes. Since I and my husband are always travelling together, for our convenience, I have to wear men's clothes."
