Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 446

Chapter 446 For You, I Can Change

Matthew and Veronica didn’t contact each other for the next three months, which gradually made Miguel realize that the two of them had really broken up.

Still, it was hard not to feel awkward about it with his own best friend’s ex-girlfriend. Miguel was a timid man. He might get ideas, but he didn’t have the courage to actually do it. “Grandma, what you said makes sense, but—”

Miguel wanted to refuse politely, but Elizabeth didn’t give him a chance to finish his words at all when she unhesitantly interrupted him, “I am glad it makes sense to you. It means you agree.”

“Grandma, I am trying to tell you—”

He hurriedly tried to interject, but the old lady didn’t have any intention to stop talking. “Alright, alright. Veronica is my god-granddaughter, and you are Matthew’s friend. If your relationship with Veronica works out, there will only be room for us to get closer with one another. Haha!”

“Haha! Grandma is right!” Veronica quickly agreed. In order to keep up with her act, Veronica even stood up and put a braised lamb shank on Miguel’s plate. “Have some braised lamb shank, Miguel. This is prepared according to the secret recipe by the Kings Residence’s chef. It is super yummy.”

“Hehe, um… Thanks, thanks.” Albeit reluctant, Miguel managed to utter his thanks, but he didn’t make a move to eat at all. “Oh my, why aren’t you eating? How about I feed you?”

Seeing that he wasn’t cooperating, Veronica used the ultimate weapon by reaching out to feed him the lamb shank. Her stance instantly frightened him so much he immediately picked up the lamb shank and took a bite. “Ha! Let me feed myself. But, I have to agree. This tastes amazing.” “I am glad that you like it.”

Elizabeth, too, nodded. “Alright, time to dig in. It will get cold soon.” As soon as she said that, everyone else lowered their heads and started munching away. The dining table fell into dead silence at that.

She then said something, which made them reply to her a few sentences, and it went quiet again. At some point, Elizabeth brought something up again to start a conversation, but just like before, the other three only answered briefly before the conversation ended before it could even begin. The silence enveloped them yet again.

Each of these people who had their minds elsewhere finished their meal hastily in less than half an hour.

Sitting on pins and needles, Miguel blurted out immediately, “Grandma, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home. I have to go back quickly. I will come to see you another day.”

This situation was too torturous for him to bear.

Especially how Matthew has been silent the whole time with his calm and cold expression? As Matthew’s close friend, Miguel knew how Matthew would not let him off the hook just like that.

“Are you going back, Miguel? Give me a ride back, too. I coincidentally have something to hurry back and do.” Veronica stood up and said to Miguel with a smile.

Needless to say, Elizabeth was happy to see the two of them being friendly with each other. “Alright. Miguel, you are now responsible for sending Veronica home. Matthew will stay in the Kings Residence today. I have something to tell him.”

“Grandma, there is something important I need to deal with at the company tonight. I will be back tomorrow if you need me.” Matthew straightout rejected his grandmother.

He didn’t want to give Miguel and Veronica a chance to be alone.

“Okay. You young people are busy, so hurry back if you want to.” Elizabeth got up and waved to the servant, Yura. “Come on, Mrs. Coleman. Have a walk with me in the back garden so that I can digest my food.”

“Yes, Old Mrs. Kings.” Yura nodded in reply.

The servant then gave another polite nod at Veronica, Miguel and Matthew. “Please excuse me, Young Master Matthew, Young Master Miguel, Miss Murphy.”

After the three replied in acknowledgement, Yura headed off to the garden with Elizabeth, leaving only the youngsters in the dining room.

Veronica deliberately ignored Matthew and went straight to Miguel. “Miguel, aren’t you in a hurry to go back? Let’s go. We should leave as soon as possible.”

She really didn’t want to stay with Matthew for one second longer than necessary.

Hearing Veronica call Miguel in such an intimate way sent a chill down his spine. It was even worse when he turned around and met Matthew’s cold eyes. “If you are in a hurry—” he blurted. “—let the Kings’ driver take you back. Matthew and I still have something to talk about.”

“I will keep you company, then,” Veronica replied. She knew too well what Miguel’s intentions were.
