Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1224

On the day of Veronica's wedding, Matthew disappeared. Thus, he didn't have a chance to remind Skyler and the others, which led to Skyler still calling her "Roni."

"I've been calling her 'Roni' for over two years. I'm used to it." Skyler laughed. Still, under Matthew's intimidation, Skyler changed his address toward her. "Veronica."

Veronica stifled a laugh and waved him off. "Alright now. Get some rest soon. We're leaving."

"Bye, Ron."

"Goodbye, Roni. Goodbye, Matt." In the end, Skyler didn't change the address he had for Veronica.

Matthew didn't bother to correct him either as he held Veronica's hand and headed downstairs.

In the hidden clan, the market had operating hours. On weekdays, all shops would be closed at 9:30 p.m., and everyone would sleep by 10 p.m. Therefore, the hidden clan's bustling market would be silent after 10 p.m., starkly contrasting with the lively daytime scenery.

Shirley looked at the man beside her and pointed to her room. "I... I'm going to bed now."

"Okay, goodnight. Let me know if you need anything."

Then, Skyler and Shirley returned to their respective room.

In the room, Matthew had ordered the others to prepare all the necessities including newly washed clothing.

After washing up, Shirley lay on the bed and held the new phone given by Matthew. She learned how to use all of its functions except making and receiving calls.

Bored, she lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Slowly, her mind was filled with supernatural stories, such as "The Strange Case of the Walking Corpse" and the movie plots of "It's Alive."

As she thought about it, she became more and more scared.
