Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352 Ruka Apologizes Personally

With suspicion in her heart, Veronica quickly re-dialed Crayson’s number, but nobody picked up. Then, just when she was about to call Shirley to explain the situation, Shirley called her first.

“Did you find Crayson, Shirley?”

“Yes, I found him. Maybe I didn’t look carefully earlier and missed him,” she explained.

From the other end of the line, Veronica could hear her asking Crayson, “Mr. Crayson, are the doughnuts I bought for you delicious?”

“Heh, so nice of you to have me on your mind, young lass. It’s not bad. Good,” Crayson said with a cackle, and Veronica heard everything clearly.

She couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly. Was I too sensitive?

Finally, she shook her head as she figured she was too stressed recently, which resulted in overthinking, and she hung up.

That afternoon, Hendrey called, saying that he was finally finished with his work. He had just disembarked the aircraft in Bloomstead and wanted to ask her out for a meal.

After she had settled down Crayson, she went to the appointment, but the last thing she was expecting to see when she arrived at the teppanyaki restaurant was Hendrey and Ruka seated together.

Why is she here? Veronica wondered as she kept her gaze on Ruka, looking puzzled.

In contrast, Ruka smiled softly upon seeing her. “Don’t look at me like that. I know that Hendrey asked you out for dinner, so I insisted on tagging along.”

All of a sudden, she recalled that Hendrey had been working in a subsidiary of Dame Group since his return to the country. So, she could understand that he was on good terms with Ruka.

“Yeah.”

Without saying much, Veronica slid into a spot next to them, but before she could say anything, Ruka’s voice echoed again, “I’m here today to apologize to you.”

“Apologize?”

What’s going on? Veronica asked herself but couldn’t figure out what was happening.

“Uh, I thought of you as my imaginary enemy before this, thinking that you’re my love rival, but who would have thought that Matthew actually likes men? I feel that I look like a joke now.” She lifted the glass in front of her and had some water. As she spoke, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly in resignation.

The muscles on Veronica’s face froze, and she tilted her head to look elsewhere guiltily.

It didn’t cross her mind that Ruka was here to apologize to her, and the reason was that she discovered that Matthew ‘liked’ men.

Although it was surprising, it was courageous of her.

Nevertheless, if Matthew announced to the public one day that the ‘man’ was her, would Ruka loathe her to the core?

“You don’t have to apologize at all.” So, she smiled awkwardly as she waved her hand to decline such a formal apology.

“Truth be told, I admire you. Back then, I thought we might have become good friends if Matthew hadn’t been in the picture. It’s great now because I’ve given up on him, so I came to look for you and to apologize. I was in the wrong for everything before,” she said sincerely.

If they weren’t meeting in a teppanyaki restaurant, Ruka might have wanted to get up and bow deeply in apology.

Beside them, Hendrey smiled gently. “Your personalities are very similar, and it’s not a bad choice to be friends with each other.”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought.” Ruka went along with his words as she lifted the glass on the table. “Veronica Murphy, I’ll buy you this meal today, and I hope we can let bygones be bygones. Let’s be friends, okay?”

Speechless, Veronica wondered, Is this really a good idea? I feel like we’re ganging up to fool Ruka.
