Chapter 805 She Likes Matthew?
“I can’t believe you did that.” Veronica wasn’t sure if she should be amused or worried by what Matthew did. “I have to master the language quickly, or things will be troublesome in the future.”
“I didn’t say you should stop, did I? I’ll teach you.”
“You?” Veronica’s eyes lit up as she remembered how Matthew managed to master the hidden tongue within a very short time. Realizing there must be some sort of trick to do so, she became excited. “Great. Tell me, what’s your secret to mastering the language so quickly?”
The man chuckled in response. “There’s no secret or trick. The only way to do it is to memorize.” “No tricks? How did you manage to master it so quickly, then?”
“That’s because…” Matthew lifted a finger and tapped her nose. “Your hubby’s smart.” Veronica chuckled, amused by his smug look. “How come I never realized how vain you are?”
Later at noon, Matthew made a feast, and as everyone sat down for lunch, Crayson turned to Veronica. “I had a chat with your mother, and we’ve decided to readjust your daily schedule. From now on, your classes start at 6.00AM and end at 3.00PM. It’ll be followed by martial arts practice. We have limited time, so we have to utilize all the time we can get.”
Grimness laced Veronica’s face as she looked at the timetable on the table. “Wake up at 6.00AM, end at 10.00PM…” she mumbled, then snorted, seemingly expressing her disapproval.
At that, Hayley put her cutlery down and pulled her signature graceful smile. “We know we’re asking a lot, but it’s all for your good.”
Meanwhile, Veronica took a mouthful of food and chewed slowly. “Well, I appreciate it,” she answered mockingly without looking up.
After lunch, a servant came jogging in before Veronica could return to her studies. “Master Waylen, Madam Hayley, Dominik, Eleanor, and Liam are here.”
“What do they want?” asked Crayson with furrowed brows and hands behind his back.
“They…” The servant glanced at Veronica. “They’re here for Miss Veronica.”
“Tell them to leave.” Mateo turned grim. “Who said they could come as they please?!”
On the other hand, Veronica disregarded everyone and headed outside. “I’ll go and take a look.”
Given Hayley’s identity, it wasn’t a good idea for her to go out. Hence, she headed upstairs to observe the situation outside the window in her room.
Of course, it was also to prevent the Ledgers from running into her if they were to come inside.
“I’ll go with you.” Mateo followed behind Veronica, worried that something bad might happen.
After exiting the living room and traversing the yard, Veronica found the Ledger siblings standing outside through the fences very quickly.
“Yes?” she looked plainly at the siblings after stepping out of the yard.
“I’ve brought Liam over to apologize to you.” Dominik had always been steady and wise, and people would find him sagacious in how he carried himself.
“What I did the other day was rude. I’m sorry,” Liam apologized agonizingly with a tilted head. It was evident the young prince had come against his own will.
Eleanor, however, stretched her neck and looked into the house, seemingly finding something before finally asking, “Murphy, where’s your little sidekick?”
Veronica was then reminded of what Matthew had told her—Eleanor had discovered his real identity. That said, the princess’ abnormally keen interest in him gave Veronica a less-than-likely idea…
She can’t possibly have feelings for Matthew, can she?!
Women had pretty accurate gut feelings, after all.
