Chapter 541
“We met at a nightclub in fiverton. It was right after my mom passed away. I was feeling
down and went to Jiverton to clear my head. That’s where I bumped into him,” Cynthia
revealed, not feeling the need to hide anything.
There was an undercurrent of heartache in Matthew’s eyes, undetectable to anyone but
himself. He prompted her to go on. And then?”
“I had a couple of drinks, and we started talking,” she recalled. Cynthia still remembered
their conversation that night. “We found that we shared the same values, and he was
knowledgeable about so many things. Plus, he was handsome. So, when he proposed, I
agreed.”
Joshua, at that time, had seemed perfect. He was good-looking, fit, well-educated, and
held the same values as hers. Even after their marriage, he had always been extremely
pacient and gentle with her. He spent most of his time traveling for work or working
overtime, but if he made a promise, he would keep it, no matter how busy he was.

from Jayleen shattered their peaceful life. It made her realize that even if they were
compatible in many aspects, they would never last if they were not in sync
emotionally.
“A whirlwind marriage?” Matthew asked.
“More or less,” Cynthia agreed.
“How was he after you got married? Matthew was hesitant to ask, but he still wanted to
know. He wanted to take good care of her if he was lucky enough to be with her in the
future
“He was great, except for the last six months,” Cynthia answered, finally able to talk about
it without much pain, though she still felt a little nostalgic.
“Other than these past six months, everything was rather good,” Cynthia stated, her voice
calm and composed, yet a hint of regret was detectable
In his usual languid tone, Matthew responded, “Next time you’re thinking about getting
married, consider me first. I’m not bad looking, after all.”
Cynthia paused, taking the opportunity to really oliserve Matthew. His casual demeanor,
his striking features, and the perfect harmony of his well-defined facial structure. She
found herself thinking he might actually be… a suitable candidate? She had a faint
memory of being amazed by him at some point. However, when she tried to recall it, the
stem and unyielding image of Captain in training was all that remained
“Do you want to get married?” Cynthia asked, thinking he must be under pressure from
his family.
“Yes,” he said. The half of the sentence he left unsaid was, “With you.”
“In that case, I’ll organize a masquerade for this year’s annual gathering, Cynthia
suggested, interpreting his eagerness to get married as a simple desire not to be single
anymore. As a teammate, she felt the need to help him out. “We can invite all the single

“Sounds good,” Matthew responded after giving her a glance.

Cynthia agreed After all, both M omo and Captain were single. Maybe this event could help
them find the person that was suitable for them. After their discussion, they continued
with their meal
As Matthew was picking up his chopsticks to serve himself some fond, his phone began to
vibrate persistently. He took a look at the incoming call and, to avoid the incessant
ringing, he answered, “Did you get beaten up by your mom?”
Zayn’s irate voice rang out from the phone. “Mathew, you’re such a jerk.”
“Mind your language,” Matthew replied nonchalantly.
“You just wait. After you get married, I’ll implant a virus in your phone that automatically
says, ‘I miss you” whenever you’re with your wife, Zayn announced.
Matthew fell silent.
“And I’ll use a voice changer to call you in the middle of the night, telling you I’m pregnant
