A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 709

Stella's voice was a little loud. Afraid that others would hear Stella, Veronica quickly covered Stella's mouth. "Lower your voice. Don't let anyone else hear you."

Seeing how cautious and nervous Veronica was, Stella was sure that what Veronica had said was true.

To her surprise, Veronica was together with Raymond.

Stella wasn't exactly happy after learning that Veronica was with Raymond. Instead, Stella frowned. "Veronica, are you serious about this? Have you thought it through?"

In the past, no matter what Veronica did, Stella would always support her. But now Stella was questioning her decision. Veronica figured that Stella was afraid that she was acting on impulse.

Veronica nodded. "I've already thought it through. Besides, I know what I'm thinking. The two of us are in love."

"You are in love." Stella frowned even more. "But..."

"But what?" Veronica felt that Stella's expression and reaction today were strange.

Stella looked into Veronica's eyes. She gritted his teeth and said, "Veronica, you need to be prepared for what I'm about to say."

Stella's serious expression somehow amused Veronica.

Veronica said, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so serious?"

Stella frowned. "Veronica, what I am about to say is very serious. Don't think that I am joking."

"What is it?"

"I have already heard that Shirley will not leave after returning to Peace City this time."

Veronica frowned.

Shirley returned to Peace City and would not leave from now on. What did this have to do with her and Raymond being together?

Stella met Veronica's strange gaze and continued to say, "Shirley won't leave, because... She is going to be engaged. She plans to stay in Peace City for her fiancé."

Veronica's pupils contracted slightly, and her hands on her knees clenched.

Stella didn't continue, but Veronica had already figured something out.

Stella saw Veronica's pale face and realized that Veronica had probably figured it out. Although the truth was cruel, Stella went on.

"And I heard that her fiancé ... is Raymond." Stella paused for a moment. Then she continued, "Their engagement ... was fixed three years ago."

Stella's words shocked Veronica.

Veronica thought, 'Raymond and Shirley already have an engagement. Moreover, they got engaged three years ago.

How... How is this possible?

Raymond did not tell me this. If he was already engaged to Shirley, then why did he come to me? Why did he choose me to be his girlfriend?

Raymond told me on the stairs last night that I took his first kiss. I thought he was telling the truth. I thought he had never had a girlfriend before. Was ... he lying to me?'

After Stella finished speaking, Veronica remained silent, her face pale.

Stella looked at Veronica worriedly. "Veronica, are you alright?"

Veronica clenched her fists and forced a smile, saying, "Stella, I am fine."

"Veronica, why don't you call Mr. Cordova to confirm it? Maybe... I heard it wrong," Stella advised Veronica.
