Chapter 422 Hendrey is Leaving
The movement of Veronica’s hand came to a halt. “Huh? Did Master Crayson agree? Why am I
completely unaware of this? When did this happen?”
On cloud nine, she handed Daniella the comb and said, “Mom, you can comb your hair. I’m going to
see my master.”
“You… brat.” Daniella shook her head, but her face was flushed with affection. Knocking on the door
next room, Tony appeared in front of her. “Good morning, Dad.” She gave him a friendly smile.
“Why are you smiling when you’ve upset Master Crayson?” chided Tony.
“I know I’m the one to blame. I’m now pleading for his forgiveness.” She squeezed in through the gap
between the doors and found Crayson lying on the bed, quilted and sleeping on his side.
“Master Crayson? Master Crayson?”
Veronica approached and appeared in front of his face. “Hey, Master Crayson. My mom told me that
you have agreed to my marriage with Matt. You’re the best!”
“Hmph! I don’t have an apprentice like you!” Crayson growled angrily. He then snorted, rolled over and
had his back facing her.
Seeing this, Veronica stood up and crossed the bed to the other side. As such, Crayson eyed her and
prepared to roll over before she could say anything.
However, this time, he was stopped by her. “Hey! What are you doing, Master Crayson? You’ve agreed
to my marriage with Matt, which is the best news I could get! I swear to God…”
Having said that, she raised her palm and solemnly declared, “I swear that Matthew and I will be happy
for the rest of our lives. Otherwise, we’ll…”
Just as Veronica was about to continue, Crayson pouted and slapped her on the head, exclaiming,
“Shut up! I’m not even in the mood. You’ll irritate me to death sooner or later.”
When she saw her master, who was old and gray, she sensed his distress and love for her. Therefore,
she gave him a hug across the bedding. “With the exception of my parents, you are the best in the
world. You must live at least a hundred years!”
“I won’t be able to move at the age of a hundred. I’m afraid you won’t feed me and I’ll die of starvation
instead.” He gave her a sidelong glance.
“What are you blabbering about? I’ll have steaks while you have salads; I’ll eat bananas while you eat
the peel… Ouch…” She cracked a joke, just like she used to do when she was younger.
She got a slap on the head about halfway through her joke. “Stop playing with me! You rude brat!”
Veronica pouted as she yanked on Crayson’s beard. “You can’t ignore me, Master Crayson. I’m being
bullied here!”
“You earned it! You should take a beating!” he reprimanded.
The atmosphere became livelier and more relaxed as the conversation progressed.
After a while, Matthew brought his servants along with him to have a meal together.
Crayson’s condition was brought to Matthew’s attention by Veronica, thus, he contacted the doctor to
have Crayson examined.
It turned out that Crayson’s blood pressure was elevated, but everything else was normal. As such,
Veronica’s anxious heart had calmed down and she left for work after bidding everyone goodbye.
At 11.00AM, she had just stepped down from the stage after the runway when she bumped into
Hendrey backstage.
“Hi, Hendrey. What brings you here?” Veronica was taken aback when she saw him.
She had only seen him a few times in the last three months since her hand fracture accident.
He was dressed in a white suit and appeared as gentle as he always did. He smiled brightly as he
stood in front of her. “Are you recovered now?”
“Yes.”
“My arm has healed,” Veronica said while moving her wrist.
“You’re looking good, by the way.”
“It’s not so bad. So, how about you? What brings you here?” She was here for a runway show at one of
Bloomstead’s clothing show exhibitions, so it was unexpected to meet Hendrey here.
“I’m only here to see you.”
“See me?” Veronica frowned, clearly puzzled.
He could have just given me a call. Why does he have to come in person? Is something going on?
“Let’s sit and talk. There’s a chair over there.” She pointed at the resting chair.
“No, it’s fine.” Hendrey gestured with his hand and continued, “My plane is departing in an hour. I’m
here to see you once more before I leave for Castron.”
“What? You’re going to Castron? Didn’t you just return and intend to stay? Why are you leaving in such
a hurry?” She was confused.
Furthermore, he really appeared rushed to depart this time.
“I’ve lived abroad for a long time and gotten used to it. I intended to stay, but even after six months, I
couldn’t adjust to the environment.” Hendrey shrugged helplessly. “Perhaps my adaptability is
inadequate.”
He pretended to make an excuse, but in reality, he had completed his mission; Bloomstead did not
need him anymore, so it was natural for him to leave.
Facing her first love, Veronica had some lingering regrets about him.
However, the past was the past and there was no need to dwell on it. Starting from then, they should let
go of one another and follow their dreams.
“You must have made the decision to leave since you only told me about it now. I can’t see how I can
make you stay either,” Veronica said while slightly pursing her lips.
She then took a step forward and offered him a hug. “Have a wonderful journey. I’ll see you again.”
Since the year Hendrey left Bloomstead, she had been burying the words she wished to say to him.
Over the years, she had gradually forgotten the unsaid words.
She remained silent despite the fact that she had thousands of words she wanted to say.
At last, she finally let go of Hendrey and looked at him with trepidation in her eyes.
He could not help but feel his heart race and throb during their long embrace. His hands on the side of
his body, however, did not lift up, most likely because he was afraid… He was afraid that after
embracing Veronica, he would be unwilling to leave.
“I’ve got something for you.” Hendrey took a delicate square gold velvet box from his pocket and
handed it to her. “This is a gift for you. I hope you can wear it in the future.”
“What’s this?” She accepted the box and curiously opened it in which it revealed a luxurious bracelet.
The ridges and corners of the minimalist luxury bracelet were highlighted by three blue diamonds in the
center while two bows and arrows are engraved on the left and right sides of the blue diamond splint.
“Don’t underestimate this bracelet. It’s magical and it’ll come in handy at a pinch, so…”
Hendrey explained solemnly as he picked up the bracelet and placed it on Veronica’s left wrist. “You
must always wear this bracelet.”
“Pfft…”
Unable to stop herself from bursting into laughter, Veronica teased, “You sound like a magician. You
don’t seem like the type to say such childish things. Where did the old you go?”
Her laughter made him chuckle as well. “Promise me. You’re not allowed to remove it anytime,” he
reminded her as the corner of his lips curled.
At this point, Veronica thought he was merely joking. She had no idea the bracelet had such
significance and could truly protect her in times of need…
