Chapter 1006


    Chapter 1006 Notifying Matthew


    For reasons unbeknownst to her, Veronica was suddenly filled with guilt. Was it truly all right for her to


    use Mateo like this when he was still so innocent?


    "Thank you, Mat." She sobbed gratefully, "When I be the head of the n, we''ll get married. I only


    want to spend the rest of my life with you and not anyone else."


    "Your words… They''re more than enough." Mateo felt just as relieved as well.


    After giving it some thought, he added, "In time, we''ll bring the kids to me and say that they''re mine,


    and no one will think otherwise. When you''ve secured the position as the head of the n, Grandpa


    won''t be able to do anything to you either."


    "Thank you, Mat, you''re the best." Veronica pounced on him and pulled him into a hug, her heart filled


    with gratitude.


    After that, the two sat and chatted for a long while. Soon, when Crayson returned, the three of them


    had a casual conversation with each other.


    On the way back, Veronica passed by a jewelry shop and instructed, "Stop the car."


    Crayson turned to look at her. "What''s wrong?"


    She pointed at the jewelry store and exined, "I suddenly remembered that Mat''s birthday is


    tomorrow, isn''t it? I''m going to pick a present for him." Saying that, she extended a hand. "Your card."


    "I''ll go with you," Crayson said with a chuckle.


    Veronica rolled her eyes at his reply. "Forget it. With that taste of yours and how picky you are, I''d


    rather pick it out myself."


    "Okay. Then, you can go yourself."


    Naturally, Crayson was ted. He could feel Veronica''s concern toward Mateo, and when the two got


    married in the future, he would be her grandfather-inw, bringing them even closer together.


    "The password is my birthday." He handed the card to her and asked, "Do you understand what they''re


    saying?"


    "Crayson, what are you thinking? You were the one who taught me the hidden tongue. Have you


    forgotten?" Veronica shook her head with a pout. "As I thought, you''re growing old. Your head is not as


    good as before."


    A look of shock appeared in Crayson''s eyes before heughed heartily. "I was worried that you won''t


    understand it anymore after all those years in Bloomstead."


    "Of course I''d understand. I''m really smart." Veronica raised an eyebrow smugly, a look of pride on her


    face. "Have you forgotten whose disciple I am?"


    Then, she turned around and walked toward the jewelry store. As she looked at the disy, she


    borrowed a phone from the sales assistant and gave Matthew a call.


    After the call went through, she said, "Matthew, listen to me. The kids are in Riverbend Vige next to


    the Deste Cliffs…"


    "I know. I''ve already sent someone to Riverbend Vige, but there are hundreds of people living there,


    and I''m still not sure where the children are."


    "They''re in a courtyard on the east of the vige, near the river."


    "Okay, I''ll contact them immediately."


    "Remember, just say that you were sent by Crayson, and be quick. I''m hanging up."


    After the short conversation, Veronica immediately hung up and deleted his phone number before


    returning the phone to the sales assistant.


    At the same time, Crayson was basking in happiness in the car when his face suddenly turned cold and


    he turned to the jewelry store.


    "Hold on!"

    The driver asked in confusion, "What''s wrong?"


    "Why would she go to the jewelry store if she''s buying a present for Mateo?" After all, people normally


    only went to jewelry stores when they were picking out gifts for women.


    Doubt arising in his mind, Crayson immediately pulled the door open and hastily went into the jewelry


    store.


    After looking around, he noticed that Veronica was still picking a gift. He walked over and pretended to


    keep his cool as he asked, "You''re picking a gift for Mateo in a jewelry store?"


    "Of course. Where else would I go if not here?"


    As Veronica turned to look at Crayson, she internally cursed at him for being a sly fox. It was fortunate


    that she had already ended the call. If she had been thirty secondste, her cover would''ve been


    blown.


    She picked up the two rings on the table. "Crayson, do you think Mat will like this ring?"
