Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 468

Chapter 468 Each Takes What He Needs

Veronica was reminded of the ‘wild’ things that went down in the cave earlier as she stared at Matthew’s figure. She couldn’t stop herself from blushing, and there was even an odd sense of joy that bubbled within her as she thought about it. Right then, Skyler came over with a bottle of beer. “Here you go. You’ll have to finish three bottles as punishment,” he teased.

“Fine, fine. It’s my fault, anyway.” She took the beer from him and chugged it while thinking… Doesn’t Matthew like Sasha? Why would he get involved with me? Is this what others mean when they say that the grass is always greener on the other side? Even with Sasha committed to him, he still misses the excitement of being with me. Is that why he was so wild and passionate earlier?

I guess this is the only way I can make sense of it. Well, there’s no harm done, I guess. We’re all adults, and it’s not wrong to say that we have to fulfill our bodily desires. Furthermore, I don’t have a boyfriend, so… what I’m doing isn’t wrong, is it? Veronica felt better after comforting herself a little.

“Woah, your alcohol tolerance is impressive, Veronica,” someone commented. “Roni’s tolerance is no joke!” “How impressive. She drank it all without hesitating.” “It really seems like no amount of alcohol can get you drunk, Demoness.”

“Woah, woah. That’s great. You’re so cool, Veronica.”

…

Everyone cheered for Veronica as she finished all three bottles of beer. Then, she took a seat on the ground beside Larry as he handed her a few skewers. “Here. Try some of my cooking.” There were fried fish cakes, squids, and some meat. These were all Veronica’s favorite foods, and she was shocked that Larry remembered her preferences.

She took the skewers from him while smiling. “It’s been years since I tried the skewers that you’ve prepared. I wonder if they still taste the same,” she said before taking a bite of the food. She chewed on it slowly while nodding in awe. “Your career in the entertainment industry is really in the way of your success as a barbeque stall owner! Hahaha…”

“You should eat more if you like it. I’ll prepare more for you later,” Larry offered.

“Sure.” Veronica smiled and paused for a moment before making a statement to strengthen the lie she had told earlier. “Your skewers are so much better than the ones my high school friend made.”

“Of course.” Larry let out a chuckle before handing more food to her. Matthew, who was sitting opposite them, sent a glance in Veronica’s direction every now and then. He looked rather displeased to see how attentive and sweet Larry was to Veronica, but he simply continued munching on his skewers without saying a word.

The few of them sat around and chit-chatted while eating. A while later, they gathered and played some Five Card Draw. Since they were from different family backgrounds, Shirley, Monica, and Abby preferred to play Fighting the Landlord, while Larry, Matthew, Veronica, Caleb, and Stephen preferred playing Five Card Draw. They were all immersed in their games, and their gathering only ended in the evening.
