"No problem." Matthew took the seat next to Veronica and turned to her. Pointing at the food, he said, "I made you your favorites—pot roast and short rib chili."
At the same time, Veronica was still troubled by her conversation with Eleanor and riddled with guilt toward him. She felt worse when he exerted the effort to make the pot roast and short rib chili separately for a dinner that was supposed to be a thank-you to Eleanor. The pot roast was a dish that took time to prepare, but he did not mind it at all, never complaining about cooking her favorite dishes.
Feeling sorry, she choked as her eyes turned misty. Wanting to hide her emotions from him, she took a deep breath and blinked her tears away. Before she spoke, Eleanor protested, "Master, I thought you promised to prepare a feast for me!"
He looked up and pointed at the dishes on the table. "Try finishing everything before you complain."
"I…" She was at a loss for words as she checked out the ten-course spread on the table that came in huge portions. Then, she realized that it would be challenging to finish the food.
"Are you guys planning to just stare at the food? I'll get started." Liam, who was eyeing the baked fish, dug in.

Matthew placed some food on Veronica's plate. "You need to take care of your health. Eat up." He sounded soft and caring.
Everyone exchanged glances and laughed. They chatted away happily as they downed the alcohol.
In the beginning, Liam had a little crush on Veronica, but once he learned that Matthew was Iron Pillar, he immediately lost interest. On top of that, he found out that she was skilled in martial arts, and he was no match for her. Hence, he decided to stay away from her to avoid trouble.
…
Meanwhile, Zac was racking his brains as he had no better ideas to remove Matthew. While he was stuck in a rut, Antheena visited him. "Why are you here?"
