Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172

Because Veronica was holding her phone in her left hand Matthew overheard Daniella’s voice when the former moved her phone aside

“Xavier truly likes you and he treats you well too. But look at you-you’re his girlfriend and yet, you never show more care toward him. If you continue being like this, others will gossip about you when you guys get married in the future. Roni, Xavier is a good man. Since both of you love each other, you should cherish the relationship you have with him. Your dad and I thought you’re not that young anymore, so we plan to head to Bloomstead to meet Xavier soon to discuss your marriage situation and see if we can set a date for your wedd”

Hearing that, Veronica immediately pressed the phone beside her ear and said, “Mom, hold on. What nonsense are you talking about? I’m still young!”

She was almost driven crazy.

From the very beginning, Xavier and her were merely putting on an act, but when it came to Daniella, she actually started mentioning marriage.

While chatting with Daniella, Veronica did not realize the cold and frosty face of the man sitting next to her.

Both of them love each other? Time to discuss their wedding?

At that moment, Matthew’s grip on the steering wheel tightened instinctively as he felt a tightness in his chest, which made him even more frustrated.

“Hey, Mom. Please stop talking about this and quickly go eat the cake with Dad. I still have some matters to attend to, so I’m hanging up first. Bye.”

With that, Veronica hung up directly.

“Phew…”

Heaving a sigh of relief, Veronica suddenly felt that she can’t keep bluffing her adoptive parents like that. So, she planned to think of a way to set them straight about the situation lest they would go and find Xavier sooner or later to discuss their marriage.

True enough, to hide a lie, a thousand lies were needed.

After keeping away her phone, Veronica looked at Matthew, who was driving and ‘couldn’t help mumbling, “Why do all of your birthdays have to be so near to each

other? You even have the same birthday as my dad.”

Wearing a gloomy look, Matthew remained silent and ignored Veronica.

Veronica pouted as she just couldn’t understand why Matthew pulled a long face all of a sudden. Nevertheless, she was reminded of her identity as the owner of a wedding planning company now, and so she had to please her main source of income. After all, Matthew was the only customer of her wedding planning company.

“Stop the car. Stop!”

Suddenly, Veronica saw something and shouted for Matthew to pull over.

The latter thought Veronica wanted to buy something for Elizabeth, so he pulled over beside the road, after which Veronica got out of the car and ran away.

In no time, she got back into the car with a bag in her hand. After closing the door and fastening her seatbelt, she took out a small cake with a pink pig design from the paper bag. It was still the mini cake which cost 39 as Veronica was reluctant to spend even a single penny more.

“Hey, my dear cash co-I mean, Bro, I bought you a birthday cake since it’s your birthday today.”

Smiling flatteringly, Veronica took out a candle from her pocket and stuck it beside the ear of the pink pig. After lighting up the candle, she held the cake and looked at Matthew with her head tilted. “Happy birthday, Bro. Let me sing you the birthday

song. Go ahead and make a wish!”

Although Veronica actually did not know when Matthew’s birthday was, she had long heard that he never celebrated his birthday.

So, when Matthew asked her to celebrate his birthday today, she was shocked despite feeling a little unhappy with it.

On the other hand, Matthew switched off the car engine and gazed at Veronica, who wore a fawning look, and thought she must be up to no good.

However, the scene of Xavier and Veronica celebrating their birthday together somehow surfaced involuntarily in Matthew’s mind as he stared at Veronica. When he recalled how Daniella said the two of them were in love with each other just now,

he immediately felt that the cake did not look tasty anymore at once.

“That’s unnecessary,” Matthew blurted coldly before starting the car engine and continuing the journey directly.

“You… Are you crazy? It’s you who asked me to prepare a cake for you, yet you refuse to eat it!”

Veronica’s face darkened at once. Looking at the candle on the small cake, she lowered her head crabbily and blew it off.
