Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 724 Suitable For Marriage (Part Two)

"Something nice, something nice, something nice…." Harper just repeated the words "something nice" many times with all kinds of voices and postures. Matthew was stunned, and it took him a while to understand what was happening. But soon he realized that this was the so-called "something nice" by Harper.

He tried to recall what he said and realized that she was doing exactly what he had told her. He asked for something nice, but never expected that she would trick him!

His eyes darkened, especially when he saw a hint of banter in Harper's eyes. He pushed her down on the floor of the carriage, leaned against her, and said, "Wow, that was so sweet. I'm so glad to hear that. But now, it's my turn to award you. You will stay here with me for the next twenty days."

Hearing that, Harper became speechless. She never thought that would turn into an award.

"Matthew, I…"

Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Howard appeared at the door. Seeing their awkward and intimate gesture, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you both doing? It's daytime and we're still on the way. Are you really not able to control yourselves when alone?"

Looking at Howard calmly, Matthew narrowed his eyes. He wasn't happy to be disturbed while he was trying to teach his wife a lesson. "What's wrong?" he asked.

As if she had seen a savior, Harper winked at Howard and looked for help.

Ignoring Harper, Howard turned to Matthew and replied, "I plan to leave the mission and go to the South Kingdom in advance to gather information."

Matthew straightened his back and considered Howard's plan. Their trip to the South Kingdom was extremely dangerous. The South Kingdom always wanted to stir up troubles. Moreover, Francis had a

strong side. If he got involved with the South Kingdom, together they would try to shoot up bigger troubles. It was a good idea for someone to get there and gather information in advance.

"Be careful and be safe," Harper said. "It's important to get the information, but your life is even more important. So avoid taking too many risks and be safe."

Howard's eyes glowed when he saw the serious look on Harper's face. He felt warm, but didn't want to reveal his genuine feelings to her. "I believe no one else could care more about my safety and my life. Didn't you always want me to die?"

"Yes, I want you to die. But will you do that?" Harper said sullenly.

"Of course no," Howard said without hesitation. "Living is not easy, but it's way better than dying. Even if I want to die, it would happen a long time ago."

"So, you'd better live well and help me in doing more things," said Harper. And then she threw something at Howard. He took a glance at it and then put it into his pocket.

"I believe there's something wrong with Becky Liu. She is accompanying you in the mission. Be careful. It wouldn't be as dangerous as going to the Great Jade Kingdom this time, but you still need to be on guard," Howard warned.

"Don't worry about her. I know what to do," Harper replied.

Howard didn't respond to her. He dropped the curtain, took the horse beside him, mounted on it and rode away. The leading guard shot a glance at Howard, who was about to go away, but he didn't say anything. He was regarded as one of Matthew's men. Now that Matthew was the most powerful man in the country, no one would dare to offend him. So the leading guard just pretended that he didn't see Howard and didn't even know anything about him.

Harper lifted open the curtain, looked at Howard's receding figure and sighed, "Enemies are becoming friends and friends are becoming enemies. Is there nothing permanent in this world?"

"You are the one who often said that there are no everlasting enemies in the world, but only everlasting interest." Matthew casually played with Harper's hair and asked, "Now, shall we continue the award game?"

"Stop it." Harper tugged at his sleeve and gestured. "Come here and take a look!"

Matthew quickly went over to see what Harper was talking about. He saw Jack block Becky Liu from getting closer to their carriage.

"As the saying goes, it is never easy to change a person's nature. Jack always wants to flirt with beauties. No one would want to marry such a person," Harper said, with a disappointed expression on her face. Matthew was curious to know why Harper would say so.

"Jack is not that bad. If he is lucky, he would meet someone," he said.

Harper rolled her eyes at him and said, "Not my girls. They would never marry a man like him. He is glib and flirtatious. Every time he sees a beauty, his heart flipped. He always flirts with beautiful women. I don't think such a person is suitable for marriage."

"Then what kind of person do you think is suitable for marriage?" Matthew asked.

Harper wanted to say that Matthew was also someone who wasn't suitable for marriage, but she sensibly held back her words. Instead, she said, "Someone like you. You are the best man in the world. You are an indomitable man with integrity."

"Do you know what I think? In my view, you are the best woman in the world and the most desirable to marry," he said, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Outside the carriage, Barry had overheard the couple complimenting each other, but he pretended he hadn't heard it, partly because he couldn't believe what he heard. Harper just declared that Matthew was the best man to get married. Barry never thought that Harper would lie about something like this.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
