Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 420 The Secret

“We get it. You’re a big girl now and you think you know better,” Master Crayson pointed out in resignation. He stood up and began to head out of the private dining room. “I need to use the restroom.”

None of them had had a toilet break since arriving at the train station, so Veronica believed him and did not dwell too much on this.

Leaving the private room, he walked down the hallway and immediately spotted Matthew in the distance. The young man was leaning against the steel banisters while smoking, looking deep in thought.

When Matthew noticed Master Crayson approaching, he straightened up and snuffed out his cigarette. “Master Crayson, what are you doing out here?” His usual icy demeanor was nowhere to be seen whenever he was around Veronica’s family; he more often than not showed them his utmost respect.

Master Crayson gave him a brief look. Then, leaning against the banister, he pulled out his cigarette holder, then produced a small pouch and pinched some rolling tobacco. With precision, he put the tobacco into the cigarette holder and reached for his lighter.

At once, Matthew quickly offered to light up the end of his cigarette holder for him.

The amount of respect he showed for the older man was proof of how much Veronica meant to him. Why else would a man of his stature offer to light up a cigarette for someone like Master Crayson, who came from neither power nor money?

Stunned, Master Crayson glanced at Matthew in mild interest, then puffed on his cigarette for a while. He blew smoke out of his nostrils as he sighed deeply. “You know, Veronica is a simple girl from an even simpler background. I just don’t see how she’s going to fit in with the rest of your family. Much as we’d like to think we’re better than all the talk of status, it won’t change the fact that Veronica will not be happy marrying someone out of her league.”

Matthew lit up another cigarette for himself and took a drag of it. After a second of silence, he nodded and said, “You make a fine point, Master Crayson.”

“If you truly think that way, then why don’t you stay away from Veronica for her own good?”

“What if I were to give up my money and status and
