Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 617 The Pillow Talk (Part One)

After Felton left, Matthew sat in the front hall, staring into its nothingness. His expression remained impassive, even when Harper approached him after Felton's egress.

"Uncle Matthew, Aunt Harper, I came to see both of you. I heard that Aunt is pregnant. Congratulations both of you! I am so happy for you," Lilian said with a wide grin, making her joy apparent in everyone's eyes. "When Francis heard that I am coming to your mansion, he asked me to bring you a gift.
