Pinewoods Villa.
Late at night, Matthew stood alone on the balcony, smoking in silence.
After Veronica finished her shower and walked out of the bathroom, she looked at him on the balcony. Wrapped in a bathrobe, she walked over with a slight frown.
Standing beside him, she gently leaned her head on his shoulder. "What are you thinking about?"
The man raised his hand and put his arm around her shoulder, smelling the fragrance of her hair. It had a powerful magic that instantly dispelled his worries.
"Looking at the stars," he said, extinguishing the cigarette with his fingers. He reached up and tousled Veronica's hair. "Keep your parents here for a while longer. You miss them, didn't you?"
"I have no problem with that, but I'm worried they won't fit in here," Veronica said, looking up at the stars in the night sky, with a deep sense of melancholy. "Shirley has been feeling insecure due to her disfigurement. When my parents came today, she stayed in the other villa at the back and refused to come and see them. Skyler has been with her all this time. I think we need to give Shirley some space."
"How do you want to arrange it? I'll listen to you." Matthew had no objections.
"Shirley and my parents are not the main concern. What's important is..." Veronica turned her gaze away, looking at Matthew, and sighed deeply. "What about Eleanor? She came from the Hidden Clan, and after a while, she will gradually adapt to life in Bloomstead. But she can't just idle around like this. If she doesn't find something to do, something will happen sooner or later."
Eleanor was indeed a delicate issue. Being someone from the Hidden Clan, although there were some similarities in customs and habits between the Hidden Clan and Bloomstead, there were still significant differences overall.
Not to mention that she was the leader of the hidden clan and lived a life of luxury. She was accustomed to the life of a privileged person, and it would be impossible for her to start from scratch.
"I have a company. How about letting her learn to manage it?" Matthew held Veronica and gently rested his chin on her head. "Eleanor saved me, and she saved you. She's our benefactor. We can't neglect her."
