Chapter 731
"Since you'll be cooking for her, just stay here. We have an empty room on the east end of the third
floor, don't we? Clean it up, and let him live there. A nanny will report to duty tomorrow to clean and
cook for us," Crayson asserted.
Veronica, who was lowering her head to eat, froze slightly as she sliced the fish chop, and a faint gleam
flashed across her eyes. She placed the fish into her mouth and slowly chewed it. Her silence perfectly
concealed her emotional turmoil.
How wonderful would it be if Matthew lived by her side here? If the person she missed all day long was
by her side, it could bring her endless peace of mind.
"Oh, okay."
Mateo pouted and whined, "Why didn't she come today? It would save me trouble."
Crayson glared at him. "You're so lazy. Is it really so exhausting to clean a room?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hehe. Just kidding." Mateo chuckled sheepishly under Crayson's indignant glare.
In the afternoon, she studied in her room while Mateo cleaned the room and brought Matthew over to
show him the room. She was so concentrated on her studies that she simply ate a few bites of dinner
and continued to study.
It was already 1.00AM when Veronica lay down on the bed to rest after a tiring day.
As soon as she lay down after turning off the lights, a person appeared in her room. The familiar scent
came to her as the man nimbly lifted the blanket and lay down next to her.
Veronica wrapped her arms around his waist as soon as he lay down and rubbed her head on his chest
like a kitten.
"Why did you eat so little just now? Did you not like my food?" he asked while he lay on his side and
gently ran through her black hair with his fingers.
She closed her eyes, leaned her cheek against his chest, and murmured, "You learned howto cook and
the hidden clan's language in six months, so I have to work hard too."
However, she thought of the remarks she didn't say out loud. You've done so much forme. I'll let you
down if I don't work hard. You're perfect. You'll be out of my league if I don't work hard.
Matthew's crisp laughter echoed across the dark room. "Okay, I believe you."
He did not think Veronica's excessive study efforts were terrible. Instead, he encouraged her to study
harder.
All of a sudden, an unnamed emotion flickered within his eyes. "I heard someone say that she didn't
have enough meat to eat."
"What?" Veronica was taken aback. She opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion. It didn't
matter, even though she couldn't see his face in the darkness.
As she was in a daze, he leaned over and kissed her passionately. Both of them indulged in the ocean
of love and embraced each other.
Meanwhile, Shirley was talking to Wade on the phone in Bloomstead. She was informed that Talila, the
president of Horizon Group, had been away on a business trip, so they could only meet after Talila

The next day was the third day of the week's deadline that Shawn and Jayden gave Shirley.
After the meeting, Shawn and Jayden looked at Shirley with agitated expressions.
"It's been three days. How's your progress?" Jayden asked.
Despite their forceful interrogation, she answered indifferently, "Today is the third day. What's the
hurry?"
The more anxious they were, the more it meant they were up to something. Perhaps, they were hoping
that she would fail to sign a contract with Talila so they could kick her out of the company and acquire
Veronica's company.
"Hah! We were just reminding you." Shawn snorted derisively.
At this moment, a receptionist knocked on the door, entered, and intoned respectfully, "Miss Wilson, Mr.
Adler, Mr. Stoll, Mr. Robins is here."
