Veronica knew that Crayson was afraid of losing control over her, but he also knew that she couldn’t be controlled.
Besides Crayson, Destiny was also sitting on the couch. The two of them looked at Veronica, who had disappeared at the end of the stairs, and exchanged a melancholic glance.
“Mr. Crayson, have we pampered her too much?” Destiny raised her hand and brushed her bangs, sighing. “The hidden clan will become even more crowded starting tomorrow. If she continues being like this, she will be like an untamed wild horse.” By then, it would be as difficult as reaching the sky to restrain Veronica.
“Well…” Crayson picked up a cigarette, took out a bit of tobacco from his pouch, lit it, and took a puff. He was used to smoking like this, used to it for a lifetime, and had incorporated this habit into his bones. He was just like Veronica. She had been independent since young, so how could she easily submit to others?
“You don’t need to worry about her. Just manage Mateo, that boy, and don’t let him cause trouble outside anymore.” Crayson changed the topic.
Sensing that Crayson was reluctant to talk about Veronica, Destiny kept quiet. In the evening, Matthew went into Veronica’s room as usual.
The couple enjoyed a passionate and intimate moment, with soft moans echoing through the room, but they deliberately kept their voices low to avoid being noticed.
Afterward, Veronica nestled in Matthew’s arms. “Matt, Zac, and the rest will come to the hidden clan tomorrow. What if your identity is discovered?”
There was always a risk when walking by the river. Although Matthew disguised himself very well, the truth couldn’t be hidden for long. Sooner or later, there would be a day when his true identity would be exposed.
Matthew hugged her waist and gently patted her back tenderly with his palm. “We have two months to go until the ascension ceremony of the new head of the clan. Even if they don’t discover my identity, I will have to reveal myself at that time. It’s just a matter of time, and it won’t have a big impact.”
“Two months may not seem too long or too short, but accidents can happen anytime.”
“Silly girl. Even if they find out, it doesn’t matter. I don’t want to stay with you with this face forever. What if you find me ugly one day and turn to someone else’s embrace? What should I do then?”
“Pfft… What are you talking about?” Matthew successfully made Veronica laugh. Suddenly, she recalled something and asked him, “Anyway, have you met the future head of the clan since you came here?”
The future head would naturally be Tanya Ledger’s daughter. “I have. She is a beauty herself, but she can’t compare to my elegant and charming wife.”
“Tsk, if you want to praise someone, just praise them directly. Why bring me into it? I won’t get jealous.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course.” “But if Roni doesn’t care about me, what should I do if I get jealous? I’m not only jealous, but I want you all for myself…” Matthew’s big palm held the back of her head as he leaned down and sealed her lips again.
The kiss was as gentle as water which then gradually became passionate. Eventually, Veronica was lost in Matthew’s heavy breathing. The next day, the hidden clan appeared calm and peaceful on the surface but was secretly plotting a scheme already.
Anthony, Troy, Xavier, Antheena, and the others quietly entered the hidden clan’s territory today and settled in as quickly as possible. Veronica had been diligently learning the hidden tongue and constantly acted like “ignorance is bliss.”
On this day, she received an invitation from Liam. “Hey, Goddess Veronica. What are you busy with?” On the other end of the phone was Liam’s playful tone.
Veronica looked at the thick book in front of her that was filled with phrases from the hidden tongue. She had been writing until her hand was sore and her head was aching. Shaking her hand, she lazily leaned back in her chair, and looked out the window while answering, “Anything I can help you with, Mr. Ledger?”
“Hahaha… Not really. It’s just that your sister has arrived at the hidden clan, and as the host, I have arranged a bonfire party. Come and join the fun.”
The other party extended a warm invitation.
Sister?
