Chapter 278 Treat Him to a Meal

Veronica was furious at Matthew for his blatant attempt to poach someone from her. However, her worry was placated by Crayson’s willingness to follow her back to Bloomstead.

After all, he had been living all alone on the mountain. No matter how good he was at fighting, he was still an old man. She was worried that something might happen to him.

“Haha! Matthew, you are still the best. My student is still too much of a cheapskate.” Crayson was smiling brightly while his mood lightened.

The three of them chatted for a while longer before Crayson, who was still drowsy from his recent surgery, fell asleep.

Then, Matthew paid for an extra bed and told Veronica to nap on it while he kept watch.

However, she was unable to sleep until late into the night when she drifted off while leaning against the side of Crayson’s bed.

Matthew gently carried her into his arms thereafter. Perhaps it was because she found some sense of security in his familiar scent that she did not wake up at all. Instead, she remained asleep as he moved her to the bed.

After covering her with the blanket, he headed back to sit on the chair placed next to the patient’s bed. It was then that he realized Crayson had woken up.

“You’re up,” he commented as a faint smile spread across his cold face. “It’s still early. You can sleep a while longer.”

“Do you like my student?” Crayson directly went straight to the point without hesitating.

Matthew was not surprised at all by the sudden question. As he glanced at the woman sleeping on the cot, he hummed in confirmation.

“You’re an honest man, but you have definitely fallen in love with the wrong person. With her, what you see is what you get. She is extremely frank. When it comes to love, she is as thick as a brick. You have to be patient,” Crayson declared.

Elderly people required less sleep, which meant he did not need to sleep for long. He had woken up a while ago and to his surprise, he opened his eyes to see Matthew carrying Veronica over to the other bed before gently placing her down. It was easy to tell the man loved her from how careful and protective he was.

However, Matthew was the heir to the Kings Corporation. Would there really be a happy ending for these two?

Crayson did not know for sure.

“You are wise, Master Crayson,” Matthew said with a sigh and a smile.
