Chapter 689 Official Departure
Absence made the heart grow fonder. Even though Veronica had heard this before, it was only now that she finally experienced firsthand how insane missing someone could feel.
No matter how sleepy she was tonight, she didn’t dare close her eyes. She didn’t know when was the next time she could see Matthew again. With the little time they had left, she wanted to cherish every second she spent with him.
However, she finally couldn’t stand the drowsiness and fell asleep. Veronica didn’t know what time she woke up, but she was aware of the emptiness between her arms. Reaching out to touch the bedding beside her, she felt the residual warmth on it.
He probably left just a while ago, she concluded. When she got up to open the curtains, a dazzling light immediately shone in, making her narrow her eyes in discomfort as she stretched lazily.
She then walked to the bedside, where she found a note on the table.
‘Roni, I can’t bear to wake you up when I see how well you are sleeping. Remember, don’t be nervous standing in the light, because… I will always be watching over you from the shadows.”
Ring-a-ling!
Just as Veronica dazedly stared at the note, the sound of the doorbell ringing came from the living room.
Her heart quickly skipped a beat then. Surely it is not Master Crayson? she wondered.
After slipping the note under the pillow, she walked to the door in the living room and looked through the peephole, only to see that it was a waiter.
She let out a sigh of relief as she pulled the door open.
“Good day, Ma’am.” The waiter smiled. “This is the breakfast you ordered.”
As Veronica subconsciously looked back at the living room, she noticed how the dining table was as clean as new. Matthew had obviously cleaned it up and asked the waiter to bring out everything.
She knew that he was a careful man who wouldn’t let anyone notice his presence.
Also, he must have ordered this breakfast for her.
“Come on in.”
She opened the half-closed door and let the waiter come in.
Upon permission, he pushed the cart into the room and placed the breakfast nicely on the table before leaving. He didn’t forget to wish her a great time while she enjoyed her breakfast.
After uttering a thanks, Veronica looked back at the carefully prepared food on the table. She noticed how they were all her favorite Western food.
Sure enough, Matthew’s love for her was reflected in the subtleties.
Her red lips pulled into a small smile as happiness bubbled up inside of her.
She then went to the bathroom to freshen up before she sat down and enjoyed her breakfast.
While she had the shrimp and cheese ravioli, her eyes fell on the spot in front of her, and she was filled with overwhelming joy and warmth as she replayed the joyous night they shared last night.
Suddenly, Veronica felt an urge to go to the hidden clan immediately and solve everything as soon as possible. She would then return to Bloomstead with Matthew to live a simple and happy life together.
Knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door right when she was lost in the beautiful fantasy of the beautiful future that awaited them.
Standing up, she went to open the door, only to find Crayson and Destiny standing there.
After Destiny greeted her, she asked Veronica, “Are you done packing? Let’s have breakfast downstairs together.”
“Uh… I ordered breakfast because I was too hungry,” Veronica explained and, out of courtesy, asked, “Would you both like to join me inside?”
Matthew had overestimated her appetite by ordering her about five dishes for breakfast. Veronica surely wouldn’t be able to finish everything on her own.
It didn’t feel right for someone as frugal as her to waste food.
“Go on and eat what you ordered. Destiny and I will head downstairs.”
Crayson swiftly rejected her offer, as he thought that she only ordered for herself.
As he spoke, he and Destiny walked to the elevator. “Hurry up and pack up,” he reminded her. “We will be leaving in an hour.”
“Okay.”
Veronica nodded in reply and went back into her room to take her breakfast.
An hour later, Veronica, Thomas, Crayson, Destiny and a driver all got into the sedan.
This time, the five of them directly set off for the hidden clan.
