"Do I have a choice?" Veronica scoffed, a cold sneer tugging on the corner of her lips.
Unlike the reluctant look she had on, she was cheering and jumping on the inside.
During the meal, Veronica kept praising 'Iron Pillar' for his excellent cooking skills. She 'couldn't help' eating two extra servings.
"Goodness, I can't go on. I'm going to explode from all that food. I'll be taking a stroll outside."
She then stood up and rubbed her tummy with a pained look on her face.
The servants proceeded to remove the food from the dining table. Clutching her abdomen, Veronica paced back and forth in the living room.
Crayson let out a rare smile when he saw her. "What is an adult like you doing stuffing yourself silly like that?"
Veronica rolled her eyes at his words. Instead of replying, she walked outside.
Crayson happened to see 'Iron Pillar' come out of the kitchen at this time, and he waved him over.
"Iron Pillar, Mateo won't be available to keep Veronica company these days. You'll take his place," he stated.
As it was rather sudden, Crayson couldn't find a suitable candidate to protect Veronica. Furthermore, with how Veronica was against the hidden clan, he knew that she would be upset if he got someone to guard her at his discretion. Because of that, he had no choice but to discuss it with Iron Pillar.
"About the meals…" Matthew stopped before he finished his words.
"You are responsible for cooking when she is home, and you will accompany her when she is out."
The reason he asked 'Iron Pillar' to cook was also to take care of Veronica. Naturally, 'Iron Pillar' was also responsible for protecting her when she was away from home.
Matthew stood slumped in front of Crayson. He seemed hesitant as he held back the words he wanted to speak.
"Can you do it or not?" Destiny's voice sounded displeased when she saw Matthew standing there quietly.
