Chapter 730
"Miss, please go ahead with your matters." Matthew maintained his cool and reminded her.
Then, Veronica spun around and left the kitchen to head upstairs. While leaving the kitchen, she
reluctantly turned to look at him.
After going up to the second floor, she continued to learn and discarded all of her mixed feelings so that
she could focus on her studies.
An epiphany popped inside her head. I need to work hard and I need to learn more. I need to be the
best version of myself so that I can be worthy of... him.
A while later, someone knocked on the door. "Miss, it's time to eat."
Inside the room, Mateo immediately stood up and replied, "Alright, then. Class ends here, so let's head
down for lunch."
He thought Veronica might have been hungry, which was why she came down to watch the chef cook
earlier. Assuming that she was famished, he did not force her to continue learning.

While she continued on with her studies, she was dead focused on learning and did not want to drag
anyone down with her. Matthew had learned the hidden clan's dialect within half a year, so she could
not fall too far behind him.
After finishing the last line of texts, Veronica stood up and went downstairs with Mateo.
The dining table was filled with a hearty lunch as Crayson and Destiny just happened to enter in the
meantime.
When Destiny smelled the aroma of the cooked dishes, she could not help but praise, "It smells so
good. Iron Pillar has such good skills.
Meanwhile, Crayson nodded in agreement. "Indeed. It smells wonderful."
He then saw Veronica running down the stairs from the second floor and her vibrant smile was
contagious. "Hahaha... Look how excited Little Roni is."
Looking at Crayson, Veronica replied, "I'm just very hungry."
The others exchanged smiling glances without saying anything more.
After they arrived at the dining room, they washed their hands and sat down after which the food was
served.
At that moment, Mateo shouted toward the kitchen, "Iron Pillar, come over and eat with us."
"Why are you calling him over? We don't know him, and eating with him is not as relaxing. Wait until
we're more familiar with each other," Veronica immediately refused Mateo's suggestion.
Due to his family upbringing, Matthew had been eating elegantly for over twenty years, so the way he
ate was also laced with a noble temperament.
The closer they got to him, the easier he would be exposed.
Destiny and Crayson, in particular, were cunning. Once they suspect Iron Pillar's identity, it would not
be anything good for Matthew.
"Hehe. Miss is right. I still have some dishes left in my kitchen, so I can eat over there."
While standing by the kitchen, 'Iron Pillar' smiled at Mateo before turning around to enter the kitchen

"Just let him be. Let's eat." Crayson did not mind the small mishap and began to eat.
The dishes Matthew prepared for lunch were fried cabbage, spicy fried calamari, pot roast, crab cakes,
and fish and chips.
These were all dishes Veronica liked to eat and looking at them made her feel shocked.
She did not know how much hard work Matthew had put into learning all these things in half a year, but
at this moment, she only wanted to give him a big hug aside from the immense gratitude she felt.
However...
Now was not the right time.
Therefore, she lowered her head and began to eat.
With so much delicious food before her, she should have had a big appetite, but with so much on her
mind, she thought the food tasted like rubber.
It was the first time she came to realize that being overly pampered to the point where self-sacrificing
for the sake of another could bring so much pressure.
"Oh, right, Grandpa. Where will Iron Pillar be staying?" Mateo suddenly asked.
