Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 488 Matthew Is a Big Fool

She fixed her gaze on Crayson unblinkingly, as though she wanted to guess what was on his mind by observing every shift of his facial expressions.

On the other hand, as Crayson was conscience-stricken, he stared at the ground with a guilty expression, not daring to meet Veronica’s eyes.

“If you still can’t remember, I’ll give you another reminder. Back then, when you just went to the bridal shop as security, the shop was still under construction, and you left the shop in between that period. So, where did you go?” She put everything on the table to talk it out.

“I can accept and understand that everyone has secrets, but now, you’re starting to interfere in my private life. I can’t help but wonder why you’re willing to stay by my side when your skills are above average, and you’re evidently not a regular person. So, what’s your motive?”

The whole time, although Veronica had complete trust in Crayson, she also doubted his identity. It would be fine if he were just a regular person, but he wasn’t. His skills, abilities, and personal erudite kept reminding her that there was a reason why he was staying by her side.

Crayson silently cursed in his heart for his lack of foresight when faced with her relentless line of questioning. He knitted his brows tightly as he thought it over and came up with an excuse. “As expected of my student. You have very keen observational skills, indeed!”

He let out a long sigh as he leaned on the bench’s backrest, stacked his knees together, and crossed his arms across his chest as he watched the sun slowly rise from the east. Then, he lamented, “I wasn’t a simple man back then, but all those things have nothing to do with you. The reason I’m by your side and teaching you all sorts of skills is because your parents had once saved my life.

After spending more time with you, I developed a liking for a mischievous girl like you. Otherwise…” He came to a pause halfway and tilted his head at Veronica. “Otherwise, with your family background, why do you think I’d take you on as my student?” he asked, lifting his hand and smacking her right in the middle of her forehead. “Do you know how many wealthy and influential families invited me to be their teacher, but I rejected all of them?”

At first, Veronica didn’t believe him, but he didn’t seem like he was lying when she saw how composed he was despite explaining his circumstances in a lighthearted tone. Hence, she took his words as half-truths. “Then, who are those people who came looking for you in the forest near your house?”
