Chapter 438 Slapped by Grandma
“What’s the matter?” Larry saw Veronica’s serious expression. “What happened?”
Veronica looked at Stephen and explained, “I’m so sorry. There’s an emergency at home. My grandma is lost, and she has Alzheimer’s,” she explained that deliberately.
“Oh, God! Do you want us to accompany you to find her?” Stephen spread his hands. “Many hands make light work.”
“It’s okay. You should continue filming. I have a friend over there to look for her. Let’s get in touch later.” After Veronica said that, she stated to Larry, “I’ll have my leave. I can’t delay this matter any further.”
“Okay. Stay safe on your way. Let me know when you find her.” “Alright.” Veronica jogged away from the crew and drove back to the city center.
When she arrived in the city center, she contacted Yura, and they met at the agreed place. However, there was another person next to Yura—it was Matthew Kings.
Although Veronica knew she could not avoid Matthew here, fortunately, she was mentally prepared. So, she stepped forward without looking at Matthew and asked Yura, “Mrs. Coleman, have you found Grandma?”
“Yes, I just found her. She’s in the car. Phew! What a false alarm. It’s my fault for not noticing it.” Yura patted her own thighs and said with a smile.
“You little brat! It’s been a long time since I saw you, and you never visit me at Kings Residence.” When Veronica talked to Yura, the car window rolled down. Elizabeth was complaining about her dissatisfaction with Veronica from the car.
Hearing that, Veronica turned her head and walked toward Elizabeth. “Grandma, you’ve made me worry!” “Come on, get in the car,” Elizabeth said as she opened the door to let Veronica get in.
Veronica knew that the car belonged to Matthew, so she was reluctant to enter the car for a moment as she did not want to meet the man. In the end, she had to bite the bullet and get into the car as she knew Elizabeth missed her very much. “Grandma, I miss you too. However, I’ve been busy with work,” Veronica explained.
Standing by the side of the road, Matthew looked at Veronica, who was in the car, with a dark gaze. For a moment, he didn’t know how to get along with her.
Raising his hand, he tugged at his tie. In the end, he stepped into the car, opened the door, and got into the driver’s seat. Then, he looked back at Elizabeth to ask, “Grandma, you—”
“Veronica, since you’re free today, come back to the Kings Residence to accompany this old lady.” Then, Elizabeth patted Matthew. “Start the car. Go back to the residence.”
“Huh?” Veronica hadn’t figured out how to face Matthew and get along with him either, so she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when she heard Elizabeth’s request. She brainstormed and made an excuse. “Grandma, my car is still parked over there. I can drive over.”
“Give me your car keys. I’ll let Thomas drive your car with Mrs. Coleman.”
Matthew raised his eyes and looked at Veronica through the rearview mirror with a calm gaze.
It was three months after they had last met. In just two days, they met again. No matter what, Veronica felt awkward.
When she remembered that Matthew liked Sasha, Veronica felt disgusted at this cheater of a man.
Her heart was aching terribly at that point.
However, Veronica couldn’t bear to disappoint Elizabeth when she saw the elderly woman’s expectant look. “Okay.”
Veronica took out the keys and handed it to Matthew.
He then threw the keys to Thomas from the car window. “Drive it back to the Kings Residence.”
“Yes, Young Master Matthew,” Thomas answered, after which Matthew drove away.
Along the way, Elizabeth took Veronica’s hand and happily chatted with Veronica.
