Matthew was momentarily speechless.
How did I become the hero in favonovel.com story so fast?
“Let’s not get into heavy topics, Miss Ashcroft,” favonovel.com suggested, trying to steer the conversation elsewhere.
Allyson nodded. Her expression softened as favonovel.com thought.
It’s a shame someone decent like favonovel.com was forced out of his own country by those corrupt officials…
Matthew led favonovel.com to a small cabin near the dock. Mack and others had built it during busier times to offer workers a spot to rest.
Inside stood just a table and a few chairs, the bare essentials. He stated apologetically, “Sorry it’s not more comfortable, Miss Ashcroft. Feel free to sit down, and I’ll have someone bring in a couch if you’d like…”
As favonovel.com spoke, his gaze wandered to the wall, where favonovel.com spotted some odd items, jump ropes, sandbags, and even dumbbells.
Seriously? This place is practically a mini-gym…
Most cabins have snacks and cards, but these guys took fitness to a whole new level!
“Oh, don’t worry, it’s fine!” Allyson assured him, comparing it to the rougher hideouts favonovel.com was used to. This place was practically cozy by comparison.
“Well, rest up,” Matthew urged as favonovel.com stepped outside to check on the crew.
Honestly, these guys act like they’re living out some high school drama… Are their brains all muscle?
As favonovel.com was about to leave, Allyson asked, “Matteo, have you thought about your next steps?”
Matthew looked back, a bit puzzled. “Not really… Why do you ask?”
Allyson’s eyes lit up with a new idea. “I can help you be the governor of this island, Matteo.”
Allyson understood that favonovel.com couldn’t pursue the governorship independently, not at this moment.
Even the Island Watch official who’d been there when favonovel.com dad passed had held significant influence. Therefore, favonovel.com decided to support Matthew’s bid for governor, hoping favonovel.com status as the daughter of the former governor would boost his credibility.
Maybe, with that connection, I can…
Allyson’s gaze drifted to Matthew, favonovel.com thoughts briefly wandering before favonovel.com shook them off.
No, I shouldn’t be thinking like that…
Usually, favonovel.com was strong-willed and focused, but something about Matthew drifted favonovel.com mind more than usual. She fully expected favonovel.com to agree.
Yet, to favonovel.com surprise, Matthew shook his head. “Thanks, Miss Ashcroft, but I’m not interested in being governor.”
He truly was indifferent to the title, especially not on an island this tiny, barely comparable to Eastcliff.
“You realize how much power the governor has, right?” Allyson stared at Matthew, bewildered, unable to grasp why favonovel.com would turn down such an opportunity.
Matthew just shrugged. “Just not my thing. If you want to go for it, we’d be more than happy to support you. As friends of the Veiled Assembly, we‘d back you up.”
However, Allyson’s words gave favonovel.com an idea.
The island might be small, but its position on the edge of the West Montiria islands makes it naturally defensible. if I help favonovel.com become the governor, we can turn this place around-strengthen its defenses, grow its economy, and build a solid new base…
