Chapter 403 Xavier Has Kidnapped Monica
Matthew’s words woke Skyler up from his drowsiness. “What? Pregnant?”
“Hmm,” Matthew hummed in response. The other party kept quiet for a moment before bursting into laughter. “Matt, are you kidding me?”
He laughed non-stop at Matthew as though it was the funniest joke of the universe. Matthew’s countenance darkened as his lips were pursed into a thin line. “Do you have a death wish?”
The sinister threat sent chills down Skyler’s spine and he covered his face in an attempt to hold in his laughter. “I mean, Matt, you’ve gone overboard. I’m just happy for you. You’ve finally wished to have a son to play with and I’m going to be another father figure!”
“Shut up!” Matthew snorted. “Just answer me.” “Oh, about that.” Skyler cleared his throat before saying, “Let me think.”
Silence dawned upon the other side of the line and Matthew could scarcely hear a laughter afterward. Little did he know that Skyler was guffawing while covering his face with the blanket.
It took him a while to calm down. “That’s not a problem. I’ll prescribe some supplements that are good for pregnancy. As long as you do your best, you can get yourself a football team. It won’t be a big deal.”
“I’ll ask Thomas to retrieve it in the morning.”
“Sure. Looks like you can’t wait any longer, huh? Good, good.” Skyler started the teasing before letting out a hearty laughter again.
Matthew’s face dimmed and he terminated the call.
On the other hand, Veronica returned to her place by car and unpacked her stuff when Sean suddenly rang her.
“Have you returned to the country, Veronica?” he asked in concern. “I heard you’re feeling under the weather. Are you feeling better now?”
The corner of her lips slightly twitched as she wondered what Matthew told him. “Yeah, I’m all better now, but I didn’t attend the showcase that day—”
“It’s alright. Didn’t you get someone else to help Mimi at that time? That’s fine.”
“Oh, okay. Glad to hear that.”
Veronica assumed that Matthew had only taken a leave for her. She did not expect him to be so meticulous in taking care of the situation by sending a temporary assistant to Mia for assistance. No wonder Mia did not blame her.
She was still vexed by the fact that Mia had ripped her off for over ten thousands of dollars. Although the clever Mia had raked in more than that by reselling the signed pictures, Veronica decided to just shrug it off.
Veronica went to Twilight Condominium in the morning where Yvonne was playing games in her bed. Noticing Veronica’s visit, she spared her a glance. “You’re already back from your business trip? That’s quick.”
“It’s because I’m worried about you,” retorted Veronica intentionally.
“Oh, really? It is my honor.” Yvonne continued playing the mobile game while speaking, “Give me a moment. I’m about to finish this round.”
Suddenly, she sat up and turned on the microphone. “What the hell? What are you guys doing? Attack the base, dude! Hurry! Hurry! Phew… That was close.”
Yvonne heaved a long sigh and put her phone aside to look at Veronica. “What’s with the sour mood? Look at me. I’m still doing fine although I was made a fool of. You seemed to have it worse than I do.”
In spite of that, she actually felt terrible for the past few days because she was worried about the baby in her belly. What could she do about it, though?
“Where’s Conrad?”
