Tangled By Fate-Chapter 379 - CATHERINES ANSWER

"It was an annoying meeting. It's no fun talking to bugs. I was worried about you and came back. Why are you walking here alone? Where are the others?"

Arthur looked around but found no one. It irritated him.

'How can they leave her here alone? She was in bed resting for three days. Can't they understand she might faint at any moment?'

At that moment, Sebastian suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Master, I'm protecting Mistress. No enemy approached her until now."

Arthur's creased eyebrows released a little. "All right, go now."

"Thank you for protecting me, Sebastian," Veronica never failed to thank him.

"It is my honor, Mistress." Sebastian bowed to them and then disappeared like a storm, the same way he came.

Veronica glanced at Arthur and then affectionately rubbed her face on his chest. "What are you worried about? I'm still in the tower compound. What can happen to me here?"

Arthur's heart softened when she was being so sweet. He gently stroked her head.

While doing so, he asked her, "How are you feeling? I was so worried when Ovior told me that you were exhausted to the point that you were sleeping for days."

Veronica replied with a charming smile, "I woke up and heard I won. How can I not feel well after that? Later, I talked to others and they said that you supported me and punished the blonde guy. I'm over the moon. I've decided to give you a treat for your help."

Arthur made a sullen face. "You better give me a good treat. For the sake of your competition, you were training too hard and we didn't have enough time to enjoy ourselves."

He looked like a sulky boy who didn't get his treat. Veronica giggled. She wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, "Shall we go on our honeymoon? I'll go wherever you take me." f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Arthur's eyes dangerously narrowed. "Are you sure? Will you go wherever I take you?"

"Yes," Veronica nodded in confirmation. "I did tell you before that as long as you are there, I'll be happy even if it's hell."

Arthur's golden orbs stared at her. "Is that so? Then if I don't let you go anywhere in our honeymoon period? How about that? Will you be mad at me for that?"

Veronica couldn't understand the deep meaning behind his questions. She innocently chuckled after hearing his questions.

"What are you saying? Why will I be mad? Isn't this our honeymoon?

"Since I was unable to spend a good quality of time with you for a month, I will permit you to make a to-do list for our honeymoon.

"You can make two lists. One is for what we can do, the second one is for what we cannot do. I'll accept whatever it is."

After getting permission from her, Arthur was pleased. "Fine. Let's do that. I need to finish my work before we go on our honeymoon. Or else, Ovior will curse at us. I don't want any curses before our holy ceremony."

"Holy ceremony?" Veronica blinked. She couldn't understand what he meant by it.

However, they didn't have the chance to continue their conversation. Catherine interrupted them.

"Ver, I'm going to the market plaza. Do you guys want to come with me?" She invited them.

Veronica exchanged glances with her husband. Her eyes were sparkling. It had been a month since she last went outside to have some fun. She didn't want to miss it.

Arthur could only agree when her eyes were showing this much interest. "Fine, let's go."

He ordered the coachman to bring his carriage.

The girls sat side by side.

"So, you dressed up. I'm sure it's not because you want to hang out with me." Veronica pushed her friend while trying to tease her.

Catherine blushed when Veronica brought it out like that. "It's nothing suspicious. I had a plan with Vincent. He wanted to meet with me. It's been a month since we met. So, I thought I shouldn't avoid him anymore."

"Why do you want to avoid him? Oh!" Veronica's lips turned into an 'O' shape. "He proposed to you and you wanted some time, didn't you?"

"Huh? How do you know that? Are you spying on me?" Catherine suspiciously looked at her friend.

"Nope. If you want to blame someone, you should blame Darius. You wrote Sebastian a letter, right? Darius read it aloud. Ironin and Felix were present there. We all heard it and found out at that time. Since I was too occupied with my training, I didn't talk to you about it."

After a pause, Veronica continued, "Well, now that one month is over, have you thought of an answer? Have you prepared an answer to his reply?"

"That Darius. I'm going to grill him later. I'll make sure he never becomes noisy after being punished." Catherine clenched her fists.

She took a deep breath to calm down and answered, "Well, yeah I have prepared an answer. I think I will say 'yes' to him. We haven't known each other for too long but he took great care of me.

"Moreover, he is polite and rich. Although I work enough to feed a game team, I don't want to spend all of it on my family. I want to save money for myself. So, marrying Vincent will help me.

"In addition, I also want to start a family. The resort is a great place for children to grow up. If I want them to study in the capital, I can always teleport us to the capital every day. Ovior is preparing a teleport stone for me. It's a powerful one."

Veronica was delighted. "Then I guess you are preparing for everything. I must say it's a good thing that you thought things through. It doesn't matter what you choose. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters. But are you ready to tell Vincent and his family you work at the Magic Tower?"

"That…" Catherine bit her lip. "At first I did want to tell him but Ovior told me otherwise. The Magic Tower staff who aren't magicians often get assaulted by the Queen's men. I'm worried things like that will happen to Vincent and his family.

"I don't want anything to happen to them or their resort because of me. I think I will tell them that I work under the Imperial Palace and I don't tell them in what position I work. I cannot quit because I have signed a contract with them."

Veronica agreed, "I like that idea of yours. I also think you should hide it for your sake. You are going to make a new family. You need Vincent's parents' blessings. After marriage, if you and your in-laws keep facing danger, they will blame it on you."

Catherine sighed in relief. "I'm glad that you agreed with my idea. I was so nervous when I made the decision. I kept feeling like I'm deceiving him. But what can I do? I need to protect him and his family."

"If he loves you, he will understand if one day he gets to learn where you work. If he still has a hard time accepting it, I will talk to him. I'm sure Ovior will talk to him as well. There is no way we will let you suffer. You just have to tell us to make him understand. And then, you will have to leave the rest to us."

After a pause, Veronica told her with a smirk, "And if you need ideas from some married women and experiences in bed, I'll be sure to help you out."

Catherine blushed furiously. "Only ghosts will come to you for advice."

They chatted and giggled till they reached the market plaza.

Vincent seemed thinner than before. He smiled in relief when he saw Catherine. He greeted Veronica and her husband politely.

"Good to see you too, Vincent." Veronica smiled at him. "Why don't you chat with Catherine while I check out some items in the shop with my husband?"

"Sure, thank you for bringing her to me safely." Vincent gave her a slight bow.

He saw Veronica waving at them before leaving. When she disappeared in the crowd along with Arthur, he turned toward her. "Catherine…"
