Chapter 149
The last gathering ended terribly, so Matthew’s friends invited us again to make amends.
They were friends of Matthew who grew up together, and I did not want to make things difficult for them.
Matthew also knew that what he did was excessive at that time. After asking my opinion, he accepted their invitation.
To be honest, I didn’t want to go. I felt like something was blocking me from those people.
I couldn’t integrate into their world at all. But Matthew had
begged me softly. I couldn’t bear to refuse him.
When I was almost done eating, I went out for a walk. But I overheard some of his friends mentioning me when I returned.
“Matt, have you decided to be with her?”
“I made my decision long ago. I won’t change it in this life.”
“How can a woman from a normal family pass your family’s standards?!!
Matthew was silent for a while and then said firmly, “I’ll overcome this hurdle with her. At most, I’ll give up everything. Anyway, the Loxley family doesn’t lack an inheritor.”
“Don’t be stupid, Matt. You two aren’t from the same world at all. Your family won’t let you do whatever you want. Helly is talented

Whatever the reason, he didn’t tell the truth.
Toward the end of that dinner, I felt very unpleasant.
I hadn’t even accepted him and he had already lied to me. What about afterward? How would he treat me if he lost his feelings of novelty toward me and satisfied his wish from his youth after being together for a long time?
His friends were right. We weren’t from the same world. Even if we had love, how far could we go?
I started to hesitate to accept him as my boyfriend that night.
It was a long holiday. In the afternoon, all the students who had no classes packed their luggage and went home one after another.
I booked a flight home early, planning to return to see my parents.
Matthew had agreed to go back with me. It had been a long time since he left. He missed everything there and wanted to go back
for a visit.

I wasn’t sure how my relationship with him would end.
I had thought about it. Since he would go to Southsville with me this time, I wanted to take him back to meet my parents and ask
