Veronica knew Crayson was afraid he could not keep her under control, but he knew even better that she was uncontrollable.
Besides him, Destiny was also sitting on the couch. The two watched Veronica slowly disappear at the end of the stairs and looked at each other, feeling frustrated.
"Mr. Crayson, are we being too lenient on her?" While tidying her bangs, Destiny sighed. "After tomorrow, the hidden clan will gradually become livelier, and if she continues behaving this way, she's no different from a horse that escaped its reins."
By then, keeping Veronica under control will be an exceptionally difficult task.
"Sigh…"
Picking up the tobacco pipe, Crayson pinched out some tobacco from a pouch and packed it inside the pipe before lighting it and taking a puff. Since he had been smoking like this all his life, it became an etched habit in his bones. Veronica has always been very assertive since she was young, so how can she easily yield to others?
"Her matters don't concern you. What you should be concerned with is Mateo. Don't let him cause any more trouble." He switched the topic.
Seeing that Crayson did not want to talk about Veronica, Destiny stayed out of it.
That night, Matthew appeared in Veronica's bedroom like always. The couple enjoyed a pleasurable and affectionate round of copulation. Though groans and pants sounded inside the room, they deliberately suppressed their voices to avoid being overheard.
After they were done, Veronica lay in Matthew's embrace. "Matt, Zac, and the others will be coming to the hidden clan tomorrow. W-What would happen if they found out about your identity?"
After all, he that touches pitch shall be defiled. No matter how well Matthew disguises himself, the truth cannot be contained for long, and he will soon be discovered.
He turned to his side and hugged her waist while gently patting her back with his fingers. "There are two more months till the coronation for the new head of the hidden clan. Even if they don't discover my identity now, I would still have to reveal myself then. It's just a matter of time, and it doesn't affect my plan too much."
"Two months is neither a long nor short time. We can't be sure that there won't be any accidents."
"Silly girl, so what if they found out about me? I don't want to show up before you in my current appearance either. What if you find me ugly and decide to throw yourself into another man's arms? What will I do then?"
"Pfft… What kind of joke is that?"
Matthew had succeeded in making Veronica laugh.
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "By the way, have you seen the future head of the clan since you came here?" The future head of the clan was Tanya's daughter.
