Chapter 156

This was why Charlene brought up Matthew’s failing marriage in Louis’ presence.

Matthew said coldly, “The rumor about my supposed divorce was rectified long ago.

”

Charlene smirked and asked, “Is that so? It must have skipped my attention.

Strange!”

Matthew looked at Louis and explained, “My wife was supposed to accompany me here today, but she came down with a fever.

She’s currently resting at home.

Next time, I’ll bring her along.

”

Louis’ smile returned as he nodded.

“Fever is such a spoilsport.

Your wife needs the rest.

Anyway, we should do dinner sometime.

Bring your wife along.

I’d love to meet the excellent woman who managed to put a ring on the most eligible bachelor ever known in the city.

”

“That will be great,” Matthew readily agreed.

Louis raised his glass and nodded.

“Excuse me, I’d like to go entertain the others.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

”

Matthew nodded.

Charlene grew bored and walked away.

Louis invited a lot of celebrities to this party.

Katy Padilla, a famous violinist, was one of them.

Since Matthew stepped into the hall, Katy had gotten her eyes on him.

She had something for him for the longest time.

She only attended this party because she heard Matthew was going to be here.

When she saw Matthew heading for the dining area to get a refill of his glass, she seized the opportunity to step forward.

Katy smiled gently at him with a trace of shyness on her face.

She held out her hand.

“Hello, my name is Katy Padilla.

I’ve heard a lot about you.

It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Mr.

Clark.

”

Matthew glanced at her hand and then looked away instead of taking it.

A little disappointed with his indifference, she withdrew her hand.

She tried to keep the smile on her face anyway.

“I’ll be holding a cello concerto here in Seamarsh next week.

Would you like to attend?” she asked softly.

“No, I’ll be on a business trip next week,” Matthew replied perfunctorily.

Katy’s expression froze, but she was unwilling to give up.
