Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431 Matthew’s Schemes

The conversation fell into silence until Hendrey asked in ‘surprise’, “What… Did you say? Tiffany, she’s… she’s gone?”

Although Veronica could not see his expression right now, she could already feel the sadness in him. It was not an agonizing feeling, but he could not pretend that nothing had happened before, considering the fact that he had shared a past with Tiffany.

“Her funeral is over, though.” In other words, Veronica was wondering if he was still going to return. Yet, the man merely sighed and did not reply.

“Hendrey, are you okay?”

“I just need some time alone,” he responded before hanging up the phone without hesitation. Du… Du… Du…

Now that the call had ended, she pondered, He must be in despair to know the sudden news.

She went back to the living room and sat for a while until Caleb, Skyler and Miguel arrived with the sushi. They sat on the dining table and began to revel in the food happily. Amidst the laughter of merriment, they raised their glasses and cheers. Before they realized it, they had already finished seventeen bottles of red wine.

The light drinkers—Miguel and Caleb—had passed out with one of them lying on the couch while the other on the table. Skyler held his glass and let out a hearty laughter. “Sasha, see? Caleb and Miguel are really bad at drinking. You wouldn’t be able to build up your alcohol tolerance if it wasn’t for me.”

In the meantime, Matthew drank his wine while hugging Veronica’s shoulders with one hand with her head resting on his shoulder. She was good at drinking, so she was slightly tipsy. With her leaning against his shoulder, she listened to their childhood stories attentively. It was probably because she liked him so much that she was rather curious about his past.

Sasha gulped down the wine before setting down the glass with a thud. Fighting through the dizziness, she struggled to look at Matthew while pointing at him. “It’s him! We always slept together in university. I have liked him since then…”

“Hahaha! Right! You guys kept hanging out together back then, but you left without a word in the end. He was super sad about it.” A drunk Skyler was a mess as well. He could recall the memories pertaining to the duo, yet he left out the fact that Sasha had left the country for SRS.

Meanwhile,Veronica, who had raised her glass to take a sip of the wine, lost her appetite. She shrewdly caught the main point from their words.

They always slept together in university? Sasha left without a word and Matthew was super sad about it? So… were they in love?

Matthew took a glance of the woman, who was leaning against him, with downcast eyes. He could tell that she was sober from her fluttering, long eyelashes. He knew of her alcohol tolerance as well.

“Stop the nonsense, Skyler. Matt won’t be sad because of me.” Sasha grabbed the wine bottle to fill Skyler and her glass. They toasted before downing it in one-go.

She piped up dizzily, “But I still like him regardless if he was sad or not. I fell in love with him at first sight back in the day. Hiccup! I like him—”
