Chapter 97

Since the chief had already said so, Veronica could only accept the fact calmly.

After all, this was not the city where they had plenty of choices to choose from.

She took out her towel and body wash from her luggage and proceeded to head out to the pond by the entrance with a flashlight. Sitting on the stone used for washing clothes, Veronica dipped her foot in the cool water before swinging her legs, making the water splash about.

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

The sound of the frogs croaking paired with the grasshoppers chirping made for a relaxing scene.

Suddenly, small balls of green light appeared in the dark, to which Veronica looked at dazily.

The sound caused Veronica to turn her head behind as she saw a man lighting a cigarette. From the dim light illuminated by the lighter, she recognized at once that the man was Matthew.

“When did you arrive?”

Was he actually peeping on her when she was taking a bath?

Although she was wearing activewear that consisted of a pair of shorts and a T–shirt, she didn‘t accidentally reveal anything. Rather, it was because he already knew that she was there and still chose to linger around.
