Matthew tried to be as tactful as possible as he looked at Eli's eager gaze.
"Peggy is indeed a woman with a pure heart, but sometimes, keeping a trace of mystery may be a better way to get along."
Eli understood Matthew's meaning.
He was a little dissatisfied.
"I thought that after these days together, even if you and I are not friends, at least not strangers."
Matthew hurriedly smiled and said, "As long as you agree, Eli, we will be friends forever."
Eli's expression softened.
"Since we're friends, why did you stop me from seeing Peggy?" As he spoke, he suddenly revealed an expression of realization. "Could it be that Peggy is your lover?
"Then I'm indeed a little rude but don't worry. I just want to see her. I definitely have no intention of snatching her away! After all, I've been there before. I know how painful that feeling is. I won't let you suffer that kind of pain."
