Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 718 The Hidden Clan Dialect Mateo wanted Veronicaâs opinion on it. Veronica, on the other hand, propped one arm against the door frame while holding the knob on the other as she pondered for a second. âIâll just stay here since I like the place. The view is nice, and itâs easy to get to the market.â
Most importantly, the place was close to downtown, making it convenient for Matthew to visit her. âAlright, then. Iâll bring the learning materials over.â
With that, Mateo went downstairs to return in no time with a large stack of books and papers in his arms. âHere you go. These are everything you need to learn the hidden clan dialect. You can look through them first.â
âYou said it yourself; this is the hidden clan dialect, and in case youâve forgotten, I know nothing about it.â
âGrandpa long reminded me to prepare a local version. Youâll be able to understand,â he explained. Veronica quirked a brow slightly in response as she took the learning materials from him.
âHow thoughtful of your grandfather.â
The young man heard the insinuation in her tone. Nonetheless, he didnât respond to it and instead played dumb. âYeah, he really sees you as a granddaughter.â
âAnything else?â Veronica turned grim the next second. Even the surrounding air turned chilly.
At some point, she started rejecting Crayson a little, no longer wanting to hear anything about him.
âThatâs all. Roniââ
Slam!
The poor young man hadnât even finished his words when Veronica took a step back with the materials in her hand and slammed the door shut, keeping him out.
âRoni, I know you canât forgive Grandpa just yet, but I hope you can understand him. He has a good reason.â
However, no response came from inside the room.
âYou might not know this, but Grandpa would tell me a lot about you whenever he came back from Bloomstead, and every time he talked about you, his eyes would light up, and heâd wear a smile on his face. I envy you sometimes with how much Grandpa adores you.â
Well, I donât need this kind of adoration, nor do I want it, Veronica mused.
âRoni⦠Sigh, forget it. You should rest early.â Mateo wanted to continue on, but he realized Veronica wouldnât respond at all. So he left, done speaking his thoughts.
After he left, Veronica looked through the learning materials at her desk and was intrigued since they were indeed in the local language.
Later on, Veronica had trouble sleeping as it approached midnight, tossing and turning in bed, still wide awake.
It was pitch black inside since the lights had been switched off, but as the moon hung high up in the sky, the moonlight was able to shine through the window, illuminating the dark room a little.
Just then, a silhouette entered through the window, and Veronica smiled instantly upon seeing his shadow.
Meanwhile, the man approached her and looked silently at the young woman in bed.
Just when he assumed she was sound asleep, Veronica jumped up, grabbed his hand, and pulled him into her arms. âI knew youâd come!â
The faint familiar scent immediately attacked Matthewâs nose following her approach, and he loved the scent as it belonged only to his beloved Veronica.
Matthew returned the hug and planted a kiss on her forehead. âWere you waiting for me?â
âMm-hmm. I missed you,â Veronica answered frankly. âSo Iâve been waiting for you.â
âSilly girl. Are you not afraid I wonât show up?â He smiled. Though the moonlight outlined his profile in the dark, it wasnât strong enough for her to see his expression.
At that, she felt his cheek while mumbling, âIâm not. Iâm only afraid youâd get caught.â
âWhat are you thinking? You think a mere bamboo house can stop me? How can I be your husband if I canât even deal with this?â
