Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 685

"Master Crayson… He…"

Veronica promptly fell silent.

Head bowed, she poked at the food on her plate with her fork for a long minute before she spoke again. "I have my own choices and thoughts."

As she said that, she raised her head abruptly and stared at Matthew with an unwavering gaze. "My home, my children, my husband—they are all in Bloomstead."

This was exactly why Veronica wouldn't stay with the hidden clan no matter what.

The reason she agreed to go to the hidden clan was because she was afraid of the power of the clan, and she knew that she was too weak to win against them.

But after going to the hidden clan, there were certain things that Crayson didn't have the final say.

Veronica was also more confident now after she had Matthew behind her back.

This was also why she didn't tell Crayson the reason Matthew faked his death. Veronica had her own plans.

Crayson had been dormant for so many years, and even though he was always good to her, his loyalty for the hidden clan ran deeper.

People like him had strong beliefs. It was hard to say for sure if he would do something unimaginable to her for the hidden clan's sake.

"You have me. Don't worry." Matthew smiled warmly as he looked into Veronica's glittering eyes.

Hearing that, she nodded and let out a long breath. "You are my husband. Who am I going to trust if not you? Also, Uncle Conrad has been keeping his eyes on your property lately. He probably can't hold himself back from doing something after I left Bloomstead."

"You have done a good job. Many of your thoughts coincide with mine even though we haven't talked about it beforehand. Go on and take charge. I trust you, and I believe in my own taste."

He sounded somewhat proud as he spoke.

Matthew must be thinking about how he made the best choice that he had never regretted when he married Veronica.
