Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 21

Chapter 21 The Hiking Incident

Hiking… A tiring and hot activity in which they all had no interest.

“Dad, I have a few operations scheduled, so it might not be convenient.”

Raising to his feet, Arthur was about to leave when he was grabbed by his father. “So? Does your hospital not have other doctors besides you?”

Arthur let out a nervous laugh while tapping his nose. That naturally made Blake and Max, who were about to make up their own excuses, keep quiet as well.

“So, it’s settled. We’ll leave in a short while.”

No one could reject Theodore’s orders, so they all changed into appropriate clothes and went to the most famous hiking spot in the city. When they arrived, Elspeth immediately spotted Ophelia, who was all smiles and wearing a gentle-looking dress.

Margot beamed when she saw her favorite ‘daughter-in-law’. “Ophelia, I didn’t expect you to come. I thought you wouldn’t make it.”

“Mrs. Winthrop, how can I say no to your invitation?” While tugging on Margot’s hand, Ophelia replied obediently.

The straightforward Max took a look at Ophelia’s clothes and pursed his lips. “When do people ever wear such a long dress for hiking? How do you expect to hike up the hill in this getup?”

Elspeth, on the other hand, grinned slightly. Max, you’re starting to be interesting.

Ophelia turned pale as she bit her lower lip. “I’m sorry. I don’t hike that often, so I didn’t know…”

Sensing her incoming crocodile tears, Elspeth felt a headache arriving. This woman might be up to something. I wouldn’t have come if I had known she was coming.

“That’s enough. Why do you care about what she wears?” Margot rolled her eyes and tugged on Ophelia’s hand. “Ophelia, let’s go. We’ll take the lead.”

She smiled through her tears. “Sure.”

Later, the two walked in front while Elspeth and the five trailed behind them, leaving Theodore at the back of the line.
