Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Xavier Struck by His Angry Father

The trio instantly turned to look at Matthew. They noticed that he was seated upright and he had one hand on the table while the other hand, which was bandaged, held on to a wooden spoon. Suddenly, there was a ‘crack’ sound and the wooden spoon broke into two. Frightened, everyone else didn’t even dare to make a sound.

However, Veronica pretended to be oblivious to the situation. “Oh my gosh, Matthew! How did you even break your spoon? Gosh! Seriously?! This restaurant is a lousy one. This is unacceptable. How can a wooden spoon break so easily just like that?”

As she spoke, she reached out and took the wooden spoon from his hand before throwing it into the trash bin.

Subsequently, she took another spoon from the table and handed it to him. “This spoon here is fine. Okay, let’s eat. Don’t starve yourself to death because where else would I be able to find someone to freeload off?”

Her brazen words were intended to trigger his anger.

The other three guys looked from Veronica to Matthew. All of them felt that she was exceptionally brazen but for someone who was generally quite stern, he continued to condone her behavior.

Well, regardless of the situation, he was willing to accept such treatment from her, so it was entirely up to him.

Matthew placed the spoon down and he lost his appetite by then.

He stopped eating, so the other three guys silently placed their cutleries down and they didn’t say anything either.

As for Veronica, she was busy chewing on her food and she looked at them with a confused expression at the same time. “Why have the four of you stopped eating? Is it because the food from Delisio Restaurant tastes bad?”

“I’m not hungry. Hehehe. I don’t have much of an appetite.”

“Yeah. Likewise, I don’t have an appetite either.”

“I ate too much in the afternoon so I’m too full.”

…

Each of them came up with quite feeble excuses.

She held her utensils and served herself a croissant. She took a bite out of it and smacked her lips while tilting her head to look at Matthew, who sat there without moving an inch with a cold look on his face before a complicated look flashed across her clear eyes.

Doesn’t have an appetite, huh? Since they’re not feeling hungry, then I’ll finish everything.

In the end, Veronica ate as the four of them watched on and she enjoyed the sumptuous meal all by herself quite joyfully.

Generally, one tended to be grumpy when hungry so once satiated, naturally, their grumpy feelings would disappear too.

After finishing more than half of the food on the table under the watchful eyes of the four men, she finally set aside her cutlery and grabbed some napkins to wipe her mouth. Subsequently, she burped quite uncouthly.

“Blergh.”

The embarrassing sound reverberated in the room as she revealed an awkward smile. “Excuse me. I must have eaten too much.”

The three guys looked at Veronica with shell-shocked expressions and subsequently, they turned in unison to look at Matthew. Their expressions indicated their thoughts. The woman that you like is indeed extraordinary. She’s so uncouth and rough. You’ve strange tastes.

He was the typical person who enjoyed a refreshing and different type after being used to encountering too many classy and elegant women.

Matthew sensed the odd looks from his buddies and he coldly returned the stare with a warning look. Frightened, they quickly lowered their heads to look at their phones as they tried to hide their presence.

Meanwhile, Veronica was satiated, so she stood up and she glanced at the leftover food on the table with a slight shake of her head. “Look at you guys behaving so wastefully! We should appreciate our meals and live frugally but here you are wasting so much food. This is such bad behavior!”

They felt quite perplexed to be blamed for something that wasn’t even their fault.

Miguel looked at her innocently. “I told you that I wasn’t hungry in the first place.”

Caleb touched the side of his nose. “I’m vegetarian.”

As for Skyler, he looked at Miguel and Caleb with a troubled look in his eyes. It was as if he was trying to say, You guys have said all that can be said. What else can I use as an excuse?

He racked his brains quickly and came up with the words, “Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m starting to feel hungry right now. I could have some.”
