Chapter 1120 Misunderstanding Resolved
Veronica got out of the cab and put on a hat and a mask to avoid being recognized when she arrived at Pinewoods Villa.
She arrived at the villa's entrance and paid cash before exiting the car.
Then, she scanned her fingerprint at the entrance and opened the door.
As she moved through the courtyard, she noticed Matthew smoking a cigarette and pacing back and forth by the music fountain.
Matthew could hear the sound of her walking while wearing high heels.
He took a sharp look up, made quick strides to her, and gave her a tight hug.
"Did I make you sad today? I'm sorry."
He held her tightly, tossed the cigarette to the ground, rested his chin on her head, and softly said, "Her name is Eviette. We have known each other for many years. She is a very, very important person to me."
Veronica leaned against his chest and smelled the strong scent of nicotine on him, guessing that he must have smoked a lot of cigarettes. Is he stressed?
"Is she your ex-girlfriend?" Veronica asked openly.
Matthew shook his head. "No."
It was a straightforward response that was given in a firm manner.
Veronica remained silent as she awaited his explanation, but the man had none to offer.
She thought for a moment and gently patted his back with her hand. "I believe you. But, I think that woman named Eviette likes you."
"Are you jealous?"
Matthew couldn't help but smile. "Roni, I hadn't seen her in eight years until today. Do you believe she would have waited until now to find me if she really liked me?"
"Stop overthinking, alright?" he said as he stood up straight and poked her in the forehead.
Veronica pouted.
"Then why were you so harsh to Ivan earlier at One Piece Restaurant? You scared me. I thought you were just acting."
She secretly exhaled a sigh of relief, and the anxiety she had been experiencing suddenly vanished.
"I wasn't acting. I was really angry." Matthew put his hands on her shoulders, and added, "Roni, Eviette is very important to me. You two will become friends in the future."
"Is she very important?"
"Yes."
"Did you tell her about our fake divorce?"
"No. I have to wait for the right moment to tell her," Matthew explained.
Veronica had countless questions in her mind, but she asked a question that even she found absurd, "Between me and Eviette, who is more important?"
The man couldn't help but laugh at her question. Then, he raised his hand and flicked her forehead with his finger.
"Are you silly? You are the mother of my two children, and you are my wife. Although Eviette is important to me, she is not even half as important as you. Do you understand?"
Veronica was satisfied with his answer and didn't ask any further.
She knew Matthew's identity was complicated, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had a few mysterious friends.
The unpleasant mood caused by the incident at One Piece Restaurant just disappeared in an instant.
She raised her head, approached him, held his cheeks with both hands and kissed his lips on her tiptoes.
"I'm sorry for making you suffer from the scolding of Ruka and the others. Matt, should I tell them the truth? I feel guilty seeing you being berated."
After hearing so many hurtful comments exchanged today, she felt bad for her friends on the one hand and heartbroken for Matthew who was receiving criticism on the other.
"You still have a long way to go in the entertainment business, so hiding our marriage is beneficial to both you and me."
Matthew leaned down, hugged her again, and added, "This minor inconvenience is insignificant as long as you are happy. Nobody else matters to me except you."
