Chapter 718


    Mateo wanted Veronica''s opinion on it.


    Veronica, on the other hand, propped one arm against the door frame while holding the knob on the


    other as she pondered for a second. "I''ll just stay here since I like the ce. The view is nice, and it''s


    easy to get to the market."


    Most importantly, the ce was close to downtown, making it convenient for Matthew to visit her.


    "Alright, then. I''ll bring the learning materials over."


    With that, Mateo went downstairs to return in no time with arge stack of books and papers in his


    arms. "Here you go. These are everything you need to learn the hidden n dialect. You can look


    through them first."


    "You said it yourself; this is the hidden n dialect, and in case you''ve forgotten, I know nothing about


    it."


    "Grandpa long reminded me to prepare a local version. You''ll be able to understand," he exined.


    Veronica quirked a brow slightly in response as she took the learning materials from him. "How


    thoughtful of your grandfather."


    The young man heard the insinuation in her tone. Nheless, he didn''t respond to it and instead


    yed dumb. "Yeah, he really sees you as a granddaughter."


    "Anything else?" Veronica turned grim the next second. Even the surrounding air turned chilly.


    At some point, she started rejecting Crayson a little, no longer wanting to hear anything about him.


    "That’s all. Roni-''''


    m!


    The poor young man hadn''t even finished his words when Veronica took a step back with the materials


    in her hand and mmed the door shut, keeping him out.


    "Roni, I know you can''t forgive Grandpa just yet, but I hope you can understand him. He has a good


    reason."


    However, no response came from inside the room.


    "You might not know this, but Grandpa would tell me a lot about you whenever he came back from


    Bloomstead, and every time he talked about you, his eyes would light up, and he''d wear a smile on his


    face. I envy you sometimes with how much Grandpa adores you."


    Well, I don''t need this kind of adoration, nor do I want it, Veronica mused.


    "Roni... Sigh, forget it. You should rest early." Mateo wanted to continue on, but he realized Veronica


    wouldn''t respond at all. So he left, done speaking his thoughts.


    After he left, Veronica looked through the learning materials at her desk and was intrigued since they


    were indeed in the localnguage.


    Later on, Veronica had trouble sleeping as it approached midnight, tossing and turning in bed, still wide


    awake.


    It was pitch ck inside since the lights had been switched off, but as the moon hung high up in the


    sky, the moonlight was able to shine through the window, illuminating the dark room a little.


    Just then, a silhouette entered through the window, and Veronica smiled instantly upon seeing his


    shadow.


    Meanwhile, the man approached her and looked silently at the young woman in bed.

    Just when he assumed she was sound asleep, Veronica jumped up, grabbed his hand, and pulled him


    into her arms. "I knew you''de!"


    The faint familiar scent immediately attacked Matthew''s nose following her approach, and he loved the


    scent as it belonged only to his beloved Veronica.


    Matthew returned the hug and nted a kiss on her forehead. "Were you waiting for me?"


    "Mm-hmm. I missed you," Veronica answered frankly. "So I''ve been waiting for you."


    "Silly girl. Are you not afraid I won''t show up?" He smiled. Though the moonlight outlined his profile in


    the dark, it wasn''t strong enough for her to see his expression.


    At that, she felt his cheek while mumbling, "I''m not. I''m only afraid you''d get caught."


    "What are you thinking? You think a mere bamboo house can stop me? How can I be your husband if I


    can''t even deal with this?"
