Chapter 1228 Can I Refuse?

"Roni?"

The man rested against the headboard, draping a light blanket over her and toying with a strand of hair

near her ear. "How about dining at the One Piece Restaurant next time?"

The One Piece Restaurant had transformed into his headquarters.

There, he held dominion.

"Hmm?"

Veronica, still half in slumber, struggled to grasp Matthew's words, responding with a vague murmur.

A suggestive smile curved at Matthew's lips. He bent down, exhaling softly into her ear, causing her

soft locks to caress her skin teasingly.

His voice grew quieter. "The sound insulation there is exceptional. I'd rather witness you being

uninhibited."

Unlike here, where he dreaded any loud sounds that might draw attention.

"I'm tired, let's sleep."

Veronica reached out and hugged Matthew's waist, rubbing against his chest to find a comfortable

sleeping position.

"Okay, let's sleep."

Unable to bear seeing her so exhausted, Matthew was relieved to see that her sleep quality had

improved. In the previous year at Bloomstead, she had battled severe insomnia, often relying on

alcohol to find respite in sleep. Since their union, her condition had ameliorated; she could now doze

naturally, lifting the weight from Matthew's heart.

The next day, Matthew rose early to purchase ingredients and prepare breakfast.

With the meal prepared, a small group gathered in the dining room. After Eleanor's first shared meal

with Matthew at the table, it became customary for him to join Master Crayson and the others.

"Iron Pillar, Eleanor contacts you quite frequently. You better be careful. This person is not simple."

Master Crayson hinted, being cautious of him.

"Miss has already reminded me."

Matthew nodded and continued to eat, trying to lower his presence as much as possible.

"Yeah, I also find Eleanor's attitude toward you very strange. Could it be that she really likes your

cooking?" Mateo chewed on the meat ravioli while muttering, "Although your cooking skills are indeed

good."

But he always felt that something was not right.

"No matter her purpose, you must be careful and vigilant. The people from the Eleanor Family are not

simple characters. Be careful not to be used."

Master Crayson drank his porridge and glared at Iron Pillar. "I'm worried that you will be used by

unscrupulous people and hurt Veronica."

"Okay, I will be careful."

Matthew played the role of a simple and honest person in front of them, so he remained silent, almost

perfectly establishing the image of Iron Pillar, without leaking any information.

The next doy, Motthew rose eorly to purchose ingredients ond prepore breokfost.

With the meol prepored, o smoll group gothered in the dining room. After Eleonor's first shored meol

with Motthew ot the toble, it become customory for him to join Moster Croyson ond the others.

"Iron Pillor, Eleonor contocts you quite frequently. You better be coreful. This person is not simple."

Moster Croyson hinted, being coutious of him.

"Miss hos olreody reminded me."

Motthew nodded ond continued to eot, trying to lower his presence os much os possible.

"Yeoh, I olso find Eleonor's ottitude toword you very stronge. Could it be thot she reolly likes your

cooking?" Moteo chewed on the meot rovioli while muttering, "Although your cooking skills ore indeed

good."

But he olwoys felt thot something wos not right.

"No motter her purpose, you must be coreful ond vigilont. The people from the Eleonor Fomily ore not

simple chorocters. Be coreful not to be used."

Moster Croyson dronk his porridge ond glored ot Iron Pillor. "I'm worried thot you will be used by

"Okoy, I will be coreful."

Motthew ployed the role of o simple ond honest person in front of them, so he remoined silent, olmost

perfectly estoblishing the imoge of Iron Pillor, without leoking ony informotion.

The next day, Matthew rose early to purchase ingredients and prepare breakfast.

"Grandpa, since you don't trust Iron Pillar, let me go to the palace banquet with them. With me there,

the danger level will be reduced, right?"

He had begged for a long time yesterday, but Master Crayson had refused, which made Mateo

unwilling to give up.

"Are you sure you're not exaggerating?"

Master Crayson snorted coldly. "Go out with me in the morning to meet a few people. The hidden clan's

ascension ceremony is still a month away, and many things remain to do."

"Can I refuse?"

"Give it a try! I'll ensure you're unable to walk!" Master Crayson's proclamation quashed any objection.

Mateo seethed. "Bias. You're solely concerned about Roni, hmph."

Observing his petulant demeanor, Veronica couldn't help but chuckle.

When she first met Mateo, she thought he was a calm person. After all, he spoke very little and

seemed to be someone with ideas.

Yet, the Mateo of today seemingly contradicted that impression—a sunny disposition and an

unassuming nature now colored his persona.
