Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 1076

"I see." Veronica nodded. "Alright, go ahead and do your tasks."

"The servant mentioned that Skyler took Shirley out. They're probably going for a joyride," said Veronica when she entered the living room.

"We'll be having dinner soon. Should we give them a call?" Matthew suggested.

Veronica shook her head, looking slightly annoyed. "Are you stupid? Skyler went through all that trouble to take Shirley away. I'm sure they went out to relax. Shirley has been feeling down lately, so it's good for her to get out for a while. Let's not bother them."

Her words woke Matthew up.

Matthew walked up to her and playfully tapped her nose. "Why are you so clever?" He took her hand and led her toward the dining room. "I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dish today. Let's have a good meal."

"Okay, sounds good." They walked hand in hand to the dining room.

Since returning to the country, this was the first time they dined alone, and it felt rather lonely, mostly due to the lack of familiarity.

After dinner, Veronica went to her room and had a video call with Rosa while Matthew sat in the study room, lost in his thought.

Thomas was tasked to investigate Flavian, and the information he obtained revealed that Flavian was thriving in Mythpoint and had a son and a daughter.

However, it seemed that Flavian doted on his son, as information about him was tightly guarded and impossible to discover.

Matthew did not think much of it, but the fact that Flavian was doing well surprised him, even when they had not contacted each other for many years.

Moreover, his properties were all registered under his current wife, Lindsey's name.

This clearly demonstrated how deeply he loved Lindsey.

Whenever Matthew thought about this, he felt Flavian was a despicable scoundrel who betrayed his biological mother.

Furthermore, Matthew believed that the reason Flavian did not put the properties under his name was to prevent people from knowing his true identity.

After all, everyone in Bloomstead knew that Matthew's father, Flavian, had long been 'dead.'

"Why did he suddenly come back? What's his purpose?" Matthew was puzzled and suddenly became worried.

After contemplating for a moment, he picked up his phone and called Veronica's foster parents.

Once the call went through, they talked for over half an hour.

In the evening, the couple enjoyed a romantic bath, indulging in the intimacy of their bodies. Matthew thoughtfully massaged Veronica's back, and their close contact ignited a passionate flame.

They indulged themselves in the bathtub that was filled with warm water. With the vigorous shake of the bathtub, the water splashed everywhere. They continued to play until the water turned chilly. Only then did Matthew release Veronica from his embrace.

"I'm tired..." Veronica's heavy eyelids drooped, and she fell asleep in his embrace.

Matthew helped to clean her body and was tempted to have her again during the process, but seeing how exhausted she was, he refrained.

He carried her back to bed, helped her put on the pajamas, and covered her with a thin blanket. After that, he returned to the study room for work.

The next day, Veronica, who had enjoyed a good night's sleep, was awakened by her phone ringtone.

With her eyes half-closed, she fumbled for her phone and answered the call. "Who is it?"

"Veronica, you and my master got divorced? Oh my god, you actually got divorced? Does it mean that I, Princess Eleanor of the hidden clan... uh, does it mean that I can pursue him now?" Eleanor's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Veronica's mind suddenly cleared up a bit from her groggy state. "What divorce?" she sat in bed, realizing that Matthew was no longer in the room.

"You and my master divorced. It's all over Twitter now. They say the 'resurrected' Matthew had found a new love and no longer loved you, so you got divorced. Haha, that 'new love,' is it me?" Eleanor guessed with excessive confidence.

"Ugh, how can you believe what those unscrupulous media outlets say?" Veronica scoffed and dismissed it.

"I don't believe what the unscrupulous media says, but my master posted a video proving it. So, of course, I believe it," Eleanor threw another "depth charge," leaving Veronica dumbfounded.
