Chapter 424 Matthew Lied to Her
“Follow your heart. You can go if you wish to.” Matthew allowed Veronica to make her own decision. “I…” She paused for a moment before saying, “Alright.” An hour after she hung up the phone…
Knock, knock—
The door opened moments after Veronica knocked. When Matthew saw her standing at the suite door, he grabbed her hand and snatched her into his arms, giving her a warm hug.
Within his embrace, she closed her eyes and snuggled into his arms.

The two remained silent as he raised his hand and gently patted her back to soothe her emotions.
“Has Roni returned? Come on in! Let’s eat.” Not hearing any response, Daniella turned around to see the two of them standing at the door while hugging in a lovey-dovey manner.
“Oh, okay.”
Only then did Veronica let go of Matthew and turn to face Daniella. She responded with a hum and signaled Matthew to keep Tiffany’s death a secret.
Veronica did not want to reveal too much about Tiffany’s affairs even though they did not care about Tiffany.
He nodded slightly and shut the door before entering the living room with her hand in his.
In the living room, a sumptuous meal was prepared on the dining table and they gathered to have their meal.
“Roni, your mom and I will be returning to Bloomstead with Master Crayson in the afternoon.” stated Tony in the middle of his meal.
Veronica was stunned for a brief moment. “You’ll leave in the afternoon? Didn’t you arrive here just yesterday?”
Snap—
Crayson slammed his cutlery down on the table. “Hmph. Your parents and I are getting older now. We can’t take care of you forever. You are free to make your own decision regarding your marriage.” The enraged master took a sip of alcohol from the glass with staring eyes, looking obviously displeased.
Having her meal, Daniella listened to Crayson’s words and glanced at Veronica without saying a word; she intended to maintain neutral.
Crayson’s words held some truth, but so did Veronica’s.
At that point, Veronica suddenly realized that the meat in her mouth was not appetizing. She lowered her head in thought while chewing the pork knuckle in her mouth. “Master Crayson, I know you’re doing it for my own good, but my happiness is in my hands. I still want to—”
“For all you want, you can do whatever you like and let us know when the wedding is due.” Crayson stroked his beard while speaking, then resumed eating.
After the meal, they all sat for a while before the three elders insisted on leaving. As a result, Veronica and Matthew drove them to the train station.
Along the way, Matthew expressed a desire to have someone drive them back to Bloomstead, but he was turned down.
At the train station, Veronica was just talking to Tony and Daniella when Crayson mentioned, “I need to go to the toilet.”
