Chapter 1204 Focus
"Okay, we''ll go wherever the miss wants to go."
Matthew, who was standing not far away, raised an eyebrow mischievously at Veronica.
Of course, he did it behind Mateo''s back.
Mateo felt resentful, but he had topromise because of Crayson''s authority. "Let''s go. Hurry up."
Mateo said those words impatiently.
"Wait for me. I''ll get a pen and notebook."
Veronica turned around and returned to the room to get a pen, notebook, and the books needed for
ss. She then left the room and headed toward the study with the two of them.
The study was on the west side of the second floor. Inside the spacious study were rows of
bookshelves filled with various books.
Books from the hidden n, Castron, Destor, and other countries covered various genres.
The diverse collection of books wasparable to a small library.
Five-sixths of the study was filled with books, while one-sixth was a leisure area with a desk and a
couch.
Because the attic was a connected double attic, the space was exceptionally spacious.
"There''s only one desk. How are we going to study?"
Veronica muttered to herself and then walked out, standing in the corridor and shouting to Crayson on
the first floor. "Master Crayson, I''ll be studying with Iron Pir. Can you have someone bring another
desk up?"
Crayson, who was talking to Hayley, heard Veronica''s words and nodded. "Alright, you two study first.
I''ll have someone bring it upter."
"Thank you."
Veronica turned around and entered the study after thanking him.
As there was only one desk, Veronica instructed Matthew, "Let''s move theptop aside first. Mateo can
sit on the big chair. We can sit on these rattan chairs."
"Okay, I''ll listen to you."
Matthew nodded slightly and went forward to tidy up theptop with her.
In no time, everything was organized. The two of them sat side by side on one side of the desk while
Mateo sat on the opposite big chair with books in hand. Like a teacher, he said seriously, "We learned
the pronunciation of the 26 letters yesterday. Today, we will start learning some simple words and
dialogues."
He held a ruler and lightly tapped on the desk, ncing at the two of them. "Page ten, please."
"Oh."

Veronica responded and opened to page ten, while Matthew obediently followed along.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting white light on the two of them. At that moment, the
clear pronunciation of the words made it sound as if the two of them had returned to their student days.
The lecture went on for a long time before Mateo started feeling parched. He put down the book and
informed, "You two familiarize yourselves with the words. I''ll go get some water."
"Yes, sir."
In ss, Veronica always referred to Mateo respectfully, like he was her teacher. However, she would
call him by his name after ss.
This was a good way to distinguish between work and study.
He got up and walked out of the study, closing the door.
Because they had learned new words, Veronica was still struggling to memorize them. Seeing this,
Matthew closed her book with one hand. "How serious. No wonder you were a top student in school."
Veronica frowned and looked at Matthew with her head tilted. She noticed that his right elbow was
resting on the table, supporting his head. Although his face was ordinary, that sense of mediocrity
couldn''t suppress his natural elegance that gave off a schrly temperament.
"Hey, we''re studying. Focus. It will be troublesome if I can''t speak in hidden tongue."
He should be paying attention in ss. Just what is he up to?
Veronica secretly wondered.
But before she could finish her thought, Matthew''s left arm was draped over her shoulder, pulling her
into his embrace. His right hand then gently lifted her chin before he kissed her on the lips.
