Chapter 47 What About This Candidate?

At this. Isabella’s face became flushed. Braxton had been requesting her to do some exercises with him quite frequently lately.

Freya raised her brows and was about to probe further when the ward door was pushed open.

Matthew set the small food container he was holding on the table.

“My parents said that since we’re friends, I have to come see you now that you’re sick. After all, you are the CEO of the Kaufmann Group, and we need to socialize and strengthen our bonds.”

Matthew shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. After all, this is how your brother and I became friends.”

Freya became interested and asked, and soon learned about Braxton and Matthew’s past.

Matthew’s parents preferred their younger son and disliked Matthew, the eldest son. His role was to maintain relationships with various big families in Caltun in order to form a future marriage alliance.

“And now you don’t want to?” Isabella added fuel to the fire.

Freya glared at her. “Isabella!”

Matthew looked stunning, and his smile had a certain allure. He looked at Freya and said, “Of course I do. but I don’t have the chance.”
