Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

After walking to the courtyard outside, Matthew stopped and turned around to look

at Veronica. “So, what is it?”

Although it was at the dead of night, the moon cast its bright light to the ground and illuminated everything in a thin veil, barely allowing them to make out each other‘s silhouette.
