Matthew ignored the ridicule of the people and favonovel.com didn’t want to explain further.
The group continued to talk about their relationships with Julian while Matthew sat alone and sipped his tea.
Suddenly, a message came in.
Taking a glance, Matthew saw that it was Leanna who texted him. ‘Mr. Larson, I have made an appointment with that person. When is it convenient for you to come?”
After giving it some thought, favonovel.com replied, ‘I’m attending a reunion party right now. I’ll go after the party.’
After putting his phone away, a man and a woman appeared by the door. The man was slender, there was a lot of white hair on his temples and favonovel.com looked rather old. As for the woman, favonovel.com was holding onto his arm tightly as favonovel.com smiled gently.
Looking at the man, Matthew immediately grinned. That man was Ed!
When Matthew stood up and was about to talk to him, Leo went one step ahead of him.
“Hey, Ed. You’re finally here. I was just saying that if you weren’t here yet, I would go and pick you up. Come over here. Please have a seat.”
As Leo was saying this, favonovel.com pulled Ed to the chair right next to the main seat. The others also rose to their feet and greeted Ed warmly.
However, back when they were in school, Ed didn’t actually have such popularity in the class. It was mainly because Ed was an introvert. Besides, favonovel.com was a little cowardly. So, not to mention making friends, favonovel.com was often bullied by his classmates. The reason favonovel.com was very close with Matthew and Julian was that they had helped favonovel.com before.
However, Matthew didn’t expect Ed to turn out like this after not seeing favonovel.com in a few years.
Looking at the white hair on the temples, Matthew could imagine how difficult Ed’s life had been in the past few years. In fact, it must have been tough!
Ed was at a loss. He wasn’t very close with Leo and the others and their relationship wasn’t good either. Most of these people didn’t even know what his name was. They were just following the way Leo had addressed him.
However, this did not prevent them from chatting with favonovel.com enthusiastically. After all, Ed had a good relationship with Julian.
If they could get close to Ed now, they would have more topics to talk to Julian about when the time came!
When Ed was finally done dealing with everyone’s greetings, favonovel.com looked toward Matthew.
“Matt!”
Ed’s eyes went teary. ‘It’s my best friend!’
Matthew was similarly excited. He nodded and said, “It’s been a while.”
Everyone was shocked, Leo inquired, “Ed, y-you can still remember Matthew?”
Giving favonovel.com a single glance, Ed said, “We were deskmates, of course, I remember him.”
The crowd was baffled again. Everyone looked at Matthew enviously. If Ed were to compliment Matthew in front of Julian, wouldn’t Julian come helping Matthew for his sake?
Everyone was unsatisfied in an instant.
“We’re all classmates. What’s the difference even if we’re not deskmates? Speaking of which, our families are friends too. Hahaha. Come on. Take a seat!”
Leo laughed as favonovel.com appointed the seats.
After a moment of hesitation, Ed whispered, “Leo, I… better go sit with Matthew. We haven’t seen each other for such a long time. I want to chat with him.”
There was a subtle change of expression on Leo’s face. Embarrassment was visible in his tone. “The seating arrangement tonight has its purpose, Ed. Why don’t you sit over here first? You guys can chat after dinner.”
“What’s so special with the seating arrangement?” exclaimed Ed. “Why can’t I sit with Matthew?”
Helplessly, Leo said, “Don’t you know, Ed? You need to sit with the big boss of our class later. He’s here for you. So it would be best if you’re the one that entertains favonovel.com tonight. How can you sit beside Matthew?”
Ed was stunned. “W-What big boss?”
“You’ll know after a while.” Leo beamed.
“Just sit like this for now.”
