Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1204 Focus

"Okay, we'll go wherever the miss wants to go."

Matthew, who was standing not far away, raised an eyebrow mischievously at Veronica.

Of course, he did it behind Mateo's back.

Mateo felt resentful, but he had to compromise because of Crayson's authority. "Let's go. Hurry up."

Mateo said those words impatiently.

"Wait for me. I'll get a pen and notebook."

Veronica turned around and returned to the room to get a pen, notebook, and the books needed for class. She then left the room and headed toward the study with the two of them.

The study was on the west side of the second floor. Inside the spacious study were rows of bookshelves filled with various books.

Books from the hidden clan, Castron, Destor, and other countries covered various genres.

The diverse collection of books was comparable to a small library.

Five-sixths of the study was filled with books, while one-sixth was a leisure area with a desk and a couch.

Because the attic was a connected double attic, the space was exceptionally spacious.

"There's only one desk. How are we going to study?"

Veronica muttered to herself and then walked out, standing in the corridor and shouting to Crayson on the first floor. "Master Crayson, I'll be studying with Iron Pillar. Can you have someone bring another desk up?"

Crayson, who was talking to Hayley, heard Veronica's words and nodded. "Alright, you two study first. I'll have someone bring it up later."

"Thank you."

Veronica turned around and entered the study after thanking him.

As there was only one desk, Veronica instructed Matthew, "Let's move the laptop aside first. Mateo can sit on the big chair. We can sit on these rattan chairs."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Matthew nodded slightly and went forward to tidy up the laptop with her.

In no time, everything was organized. The two of them sat side by side on one side of the desk while Mateo sat on the opposite big chair with books in hand. Like a teacher, he said seriously, "We learned the pronunciation of the 26 letters yesterday. Today, we will start learning some simple words and dialogues."

He held a ruler and lightly tapped on the desk, glancing at the two of them. "Page ten, please."

"Oh."

Veronica responded and opened to page ten, while Matthew obediently followed along.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting white light on the two of them. At that moment, the clear pronunciation of the words made it sound as if the two of them had returned to their student days.

The lecture went on for a long time before Mateo started feeling parched. He put down the book and informed, "You two familiarize yourselves with the words. I'll go get some water."

"Yes, sir."

In class, Veronica always referred to Mateo respectfully, like he was her teacher. However, she would call him by his name after class.

This was a good way to distinguish between work and study.

He got up and walked out of the study, closing the door.

Because they had learned new words, Veronica was still struggling to memorize them. Seeing this, Matthew closed her book with one hand. "How serious. No wonder you were a top student in school."

Veronica frowned and looked at Matthew with her head tilted. She noticed that his right elbow was resting on the table, supporting his head. Although his face was ordinary, that sense of mediocrity couldn't suppress his natural elegance that gave off a scholarly temperament.

"Hey, we're studying. Focus. It will be troublesome if I can't speak in hidden tongue."

He should be paying attention in class. Just what is he up to?

Veronica secretly wondered.

But before she could finish her thought, Matthew's left arm was draped over her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace. His right hand then gently lifted her chin before he kissed her on the lips. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
