It had been a long time since he heard someone call him Matt. Even if he knew that Hestia was just trying to bewitch him so that he would let her off, Matthew still fell for it and could only sigh.
"I’m really worried about you."
Nathaniel had already taken Hesper away from him right in front of his eyes once, and Matthew could not take such a hit again in his life, but Hestia seemed to have made up her mind.
Matthew knew that no matter what, he would never be able to persuade Hesper.
Hestia vaguely explained the whole matter to Matthew, knowing that she could never tell Matthew about her secret deal with Nathaniel. In order to prevent Matthew from bombarding her with more questions, Hestia suddenly thought of Vivienne.
"By the way, I also met my sister-in-law in Genecity."
Matthew immediately became silent after being shocked by this sentence. Then he said tentatively, "Please tell me that you haven’t been cheated by some random lady... Why didn’t I myself know that I have a wife?"
When Hestia heard Matthew’s response, she knew that Vivienne was only pining for him and it was unrequited love, but it was really fun to use it to tease Matthew.
"It’s Vivienne Scarlett, also known as Viv," Hestia teased. "She helped me a lot and even saved my friend. She even told me to call her Mrs. Lane."
Matthew was at a loss for words for a short while.
"Don’t listen to her horsecrap. We’re just friends."
"What?" Sylvie did not hear her clearly, and Hestia did not plan to repeat herself, so she hung up the phone without saying anything.
According to Nathaniel’s description, this wedding ceremony would indeed not be simple, so it was not a problem for Hestia to invite Rickard. Of course, she would not miss such a good opportunity to irritate Rickard, so she added Rickard’s name to the guest list.
When Rickard saw the first version of the list, his expression turned cold, but he could only see Hestia’s back at that time.
In any case, Nathaniel was definitely not a good choice for Hestia.
Rickard had finally broken away from his initial shock and realized that something else must be brewing behind this marriage.
