Chapter 1201 Milk and Porridge
She knew she should distance herself even more, especially after what happened between her and
Skyler.
"What are you assuming? Are you imagining things just because you are giving me a ride?"
The man tilted his head slightly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
Silenced by his words, Shirley had nothing to say. She could only start the engine and drive.
They stopped at a hotel to pick up her takeout order.
Skyler watched as she hurriedly got out of the car, looking anxious and flustered. His face grew darker
and darker.
Before long, Shirley returned with a thermal container in hand. She was still panting.
She was worried about the food spilling, so she handed the container to Skyler. "Can you hold this for a
moment?"
"Can't you put it in the back?"
The man was displeased.

Skyler said nothing at that.
It's just a meal, so why is she being all nervous?
Reluctantly, he took the container from her and said nothing more.
...
Hidden clan.
Matthew prepared breakfast in the morning and brought it to the dining room after everyone woke up.
As Veronica came down the stairs and looked at the once-noble man who now willingly served her, she
felt sad.
They exchanged a glance from a distance, and the man responded with a smile as if to comfort her.
Soon, everyone sat down and had breakfast together.
Mateo sat next to Veronica and attentively pushed a glass of milk before her. "Roni, have some fresh
milk. I had Iron Pillar buy it for you at the market this morning."
The others noticed Mateo's actions. They looked at each other but remained silent, quietly eating their
breakfast.
Of course, Matthew, who had just come out of the kitchen, also heard what Mateo said. His face
darkened slightly.
Veronica looked up and saw Matthew. Her heart ached for him when she saw a trace of disappointment
on his face.
This man had already done so much for her. In fact, he had done more than enough for this lifetime.
How could she bear to make him sad?
Even if it was jealousy, she couldn't bear it.
"No need."
Veronica pushed the milk toward Mateo. "I don't like milk."
"You don't like milk? Have some porridge, then. I told Iron Pillar you like porridge and asked him to
cook it for you." Mateo was considerate and paid attention to Veronica's preferences.
But he didn't know that Matthew knew Veronica's food preferences even better.
Even the porridge was specially cooked for Veronica by Matthew.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVeronica looked at the porridge and knew that Matthew prepared it. But if she ate the porridge, wouldn't
she be accepting Mateo's intentions?
"Master Crayson, isn't Mateo old enough? Why haven't you arranged a marriage for him?" Veronica
moved the porridge in front of her and stirred it with a spoon. She blew on it and took a sip, saying, "I
think the girls from the hidden clan are quite good-looking. It won't be easy to find someone for him if
you don't find a partner for him while he's still young."
"He..."
When Mateo immediately sat up straight, Crayson hadn't figured out how to respond yet. "I don't want
to!"
"Why not?"
Veronica lowered her head and continued to eat the porridge, pretending not to care.
"Because... Because..." Mateo hesitated, not knowing how to explain.
Veronica then teasingly smiled. "Don't you want to find a partner? Mateo, are you planning to follow my
footsteps and stay single for the rest of your life?"
She stirred the porridge, trying to cool it down quickly.
She added, "Since my husband is 'gone,' I've decided not to remarry in the future."
