Veronica had initially been teasing Matthew. However, after he listened to her words, he pulled her into his arms and asked, "What? Do you like the idea of having multiple husbands?"
"W-What?"
Noticing the gloom on his face, Veronica was momentarily stunned. She didn't understand what he meant.
Matthew raised his hand and gently pinched her tender cheeks. "You're pretending to ask that, aren't you?"
"I..."
After a few seconds, Veronica suddenly understood and couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, it's actually not a bad idea."
She understood what Matthew meant.
The head of the clan could have multiple husbands. Since she would soon banish Eleanor and become the queen, she could also implement the system of having multiple husbands.
Matthew was jealous.
"How dare you!"
His face suddenly turned cold, and he leaned down to kiss her lips, wanting to punish her severely.
But then the light suddenly brightened in the tent, and the two of them immediately stood up. Through the thin partition, they saw someone walking in.
"I have something to discuss with you."
The person on the other side of the screen was Xavier.
He lowered his voice and spoke softly.
The two people sitting on the bed looked at each other and got up, only to see Xavier standing there with a cold demeanor.
"What brought you here?"
She didn't expect Xavier to come and find them before the hunting ceremony was about to begin.
Xavier's conflicted gaze fell on Veronica and then turned to Matthew. His pupils suddenly filled with coldness. "I came to tell you..."
