Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544 Attacked by an Ex-girlfriend

“You’re back.” Matthew got up and walked toward Veronica with a gentle smile. His expression was indifferent, as if he didn’t know Veronica was lying. Then, he smoothly took the bags from her hand. “That’s a lot of stuff. Is there a gift for me?”

“What?” Veronica was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head with her face full of embarrassment. She reached out and scratched her head. “Oh, my… I was too tired from shopping with Ruka and forgot about it.”

Truth was, she did not shop at all. She bought a few clothes at the roadside mall on the way back to continue the lie, and she did not even know if they fit her.

“I’m so sorry for forgetting about you. Should we go shopping tomorrow? I can pick a few clothes for you.” Veronica wisely changed the subject. Matthew gave her a meaningful look. His pupils were dark and unclear, making it impossible to fathom what he was thinking.

“Alright.” He responded and led Veronica to the living room. The tired little woman lounged on the couch as she mumbled, “I’m sleepy.”

Whether it was from the hot weather or the pregnancy that gave women the habit of napping, Veronica felt tired. She couldn’t help but be thankful that the children in her womb were unharmed after being severely beaten by Xavier in Castron, and they were indeed a gift from God.

Matthew poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her. “Here, drink some water.” That gentle and considerate nature completely differed from his ruthless and domineering image.

It was hard to imagine the cruel man everyone talked about would be so considerate. Veronica couldn’t help but think of the poem. In me, the tiger sniffs the rose.

Then, she got up to sit cross-legged on the couch and accepted the glass of water. She smiled genuinely as she murmured, “Matt, you’re so kind to me.”

After speaking, she took a large gulp of water from the glass. Matthew took the cup and placed it on the table, then took out a tissue to wipe the water on Veronica’s mouth.

Suddenly, his delicate fingers pinched her chin and lifted slightly. “My kindness to you comes at a price.”

“Huh? A-At what cost?”

Veronica looked at the standing man before her, and she could feel the discreet coldness from his expression, though it was not obvious.

“You should be nice to me too. If you were to abandon me one day…” He paused, and his gaze was tinged with a hint of coldness. “I will break your legs and put you under house arrest.”

Matthew squeezed Veronica’s chin hard, making her gasp in pain. “Ouch! You’re hurting me.”

Veronica pouted and slapped Matthew’s hand away.

As she reached out and rubbed her chin, her eyes dropped in thought and something flashed through her gaze. Matthew is clearly not in the right mood. Does this mean he knows something?

After thinking about it, Veronica couldn’t remember what she had done wrong.

Suddenly, Matthew asked coldly, “Aren’t you going to tell me?”

Veronica looked at the man for a moment, as if she could perceive something.

She frowned and asked after a moment of hesitation, “Y-You know all about it?”

“Of course. Just tell me all about it.” Matthew sat sideways beside her and put his arms around her shoulders. “First Meeting is my company, so how could I not know when you blatantly went to Master Crayson?”

“What?” Veronica was stunned and confused. “Y-You mean the part where I met Master Crayson?”

“What else?”

Veronica used his left hand to hold her hand while gently rubbing her hand with his fingers to feel her delicate and smooth skin. However, he hid his loneliness behind his slightly drooping eyelids.

He was giving Veronica a chance, and only gave her a little pressure.

Hearing that from Matthew, Veronica secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. “That’s right. After shopping with Ruka, I passed by First Meeting, so I went to rest and chat with Master Crayson.”

“To discuss with him about abandoning me?”

Veronica stayed silent. What an ambiguous statement; what is he trying to say?

“Roni, even if you go out to train for six months, I’ll still come to you. If I suddenly can’t contact you one day, you are doomed.”
