Chapter 357

Johnathan busily greeted him with a smile, “What a coincidence, Mr. Galatea, are you going on a business trip?”

Matthew glanced at him, smiled meaningfully at me, and said, “No, I came specifically to deliver Ms. Duffy.”

Johnathan chuckled and said with a hint of sarcasm, “Mr. Galatea really has a special relationship with Ms. Duffy.”

“There aren’t many women that caught my eye, but Ms. Duffy was one of them,” said Matthew. He gestured behind him.

Suddenly, a bodyguard walked up holding an exquisite gift box.

Matthew smiled at me and said, “Ms. Duffy, you come and go so quickly, I didn’t even have time to prepare a gift for you. You can have this ‘Arctic Star,’ consider it a gift from me.”

Johnathan glanced at me gloomily. He smiled at Matthew and said, “Mr. Galatea has already paid, but as for these gold and silver jewelry, they were given to her by Mr. Humphrey, so you don’t need to worry about it, Mr. Galatea.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Matthew laughed, and his eyes also darkened a bit. He said, “If Mr. Humphrey sends it, that’s Mr. Humphrey’s business. If I send it, it’s my intention.”

Matthew smiled, but there was a rebellious look in his eyes. But Johnathan seemed oblivious to the fact that the man was already angry; he even wanted to save face for Reynaldo.

Seeing that he was about to speak, I quickly took the gift box from the bodyguard’s hand and smiled at Matthew, saying, “Thank you very much, Mr. Galatea.”

“Esmeralda!” Johnathan whispered to me as a warning.

I ignored him and just smiled at Matthew, saying, “Mr. Galatea is really generous, giving such valuable gifts to business partners so casually. If Mr. Galatea went on a business trip to Freybourne, I would treat Mr. Galatea to a meal."

“Sure, if I went to Freybourne, I would definitely look for you.” I accepted with a smile. Who cares, anyway? No one can predict the future. By then, I’m afraid even I won’t be in Freybourne.

Fortunately, Matthew did not make things difficult for Johnathan and me. He really just came to deliver my gift and then left.

I opened the gift box, and inside was an incredibly exquisite and shiny diamond necklace, with a star pendant. No wonder it’s called Arctic Star.

Johnathan snorted coldly at me and said, “Are you feeling proud that man gave you such a valuable gift? I told you, he was just interested in you for a moment; how could he compare to Reynaldo’s loyalty?”

When I heard the words “long-lasting love,” I smiled. Reynaldo never had any feelings for me, so where did long-lasting love come from?

I said to him expressionlessly, “Matthew knows how to give me gifts; what does Reynaldo know?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Johnathan’s face changed, staring blankly behind me. I pursed my lips, and in my heart, I also guessed a few points.

I slowly turned around and indeed saw Reynaldo standing behind me. He must have just arrived; Kimberly was still running behind him.

Reynaldo looked at me coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He spoke, but the words were directed at Johnathan: “You should only buy three tickets. Some people, she may not really want to go back.”

Johnathan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but it seemed like he had nothing to say.

At this moment, Kimberly had already run up to me. There was a smile on her face that she couldn’t hide; it was obvious that she was in a good mood.
