“That’s not very nice of you.” Veronica smiled helplessly. “I really need to learn quickly; otherwise, it will be troublesome in the future.” “I didn’t say you can’t learn. I’ll teach you.”
“You will teach me?” Veronica’s eyes lit up. She was a bit curious when she suddenly thought of how Matthew learned the hidden tongue in a short time. There must be a special trick. “Okay, what’s the secret? Tell me.”
The man chuckled. “There’s no secret. You just need to memorize these words.” “No secret? How did you learn so quickly, then?”
“Because…” Matthew raised his hand and lightly tapped her nose with his finger. “Your husband is smart.”
Looking at his slightly proud expression, Veronica couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t realize how much you like to praise yourself before this.”
Noon. Matthew prepared a table full of delicious lunch, and everyone ate in the dining room. Right then, Crayson looked up and informed Veronica, “I discussed with your mother today and arranged your schedule. Starting from 6 a.m., you will have classes until 3 p.m. Then, you will start martial arts training. There is not much time. We must make use of every minute.”
As Veronica looked at the timetable on the table, her face, as smooth as jade, showed a hint of coldness. “Wake up at 6 a.m., finish at 10 p.m.”
She murmured. After speaking, she let out a faint sneer as if venting her dissatisfaction. Hayley put down her fork and smiled gracefully. “We know it’s hard for you, but it’s all for your own good.”
Veronica picked up a forkful of short rib chili and chewed slowly. “I should thank you, then.” She replied sarcastically without looking up.
After the meal, a servant immediately rushed in before Veronica could go upstairs to study. “Master Waylen, Madam Hayley, Dominik Ledger brought Eleanor Ledger and Liam Ledger here.”
Crayson stood with his hands behind his back, frowning. “What are they here for?” “They said…” The servant glanced at Veronica.
“They said they came to see Miss Veronica.”
Mateo’s eyes dimmed, “Tell them to leave. Who told them to come here without permission?!”
“I’ll go see them.” Veronica ignored everyone and walked out..
Hayley, due to her identity, couldn’t go out. She could only go upstairs and observe the situation from the window. She also wanted to avoid them coming in and accidentally seeing her. It wouldn’t be good if that happened.
“I’ll go with you.” Worried about Veronica, Mateo followed her out. After walking out of the living room and crossing the courtyard, Veronica saw the Ledger siblings standing outside when she looked through the fence.
When she reached the courtyard, Veronica looked at them with a look of indifference. “Is there something I can help you with?”
“Yes, I brought Liam here to apologize to you.” Dominik had always been calm and wise, and his words and actions always gave off a sense of maturity and steadiness.
Liam, on the other hand, reluctantly cocked his head. Even though he was upset, he still forced these words out. “I didn’t handle things well that day. I’m sorry.”
It was Eleanor who stretched her neck and peeked into the yard as if she was searching for something. She finally asked, “Veronica, where is that lackey of yours?”
Veronica remembered that Eleanor had discovered Matthew’s true identity. However, seeing how much Eleanor cared about Matthew made Veronica think of something near impossible…
Is she interested in Matt?!
Women had a strong sixth sense.
