Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 1137

Chapter 1137 I’m Leaving

"Are you aware of the value of the villa you're living in? It's worth 750 million to 1.5 billion. If Boss really intends to sell you off, would he give you this villa? Also, he lets you learn from Mr. Lynch so that you know how to run a company and eventually take over the companies under your name. What do you think—"

"Shut up and drink!" Eleanor interrupted before Troy could finish.

She poured another glass of wine for him and herself. They clinked their glasses and finished their shots as though they were drinking right out of beer glasses.

The chef concocted a few more dishes and placed them on the dining table before leaving the villa with the maids, leaving Troy and Eleanor in the villa alone.

The two of them, both with high alcohol tolerance, chewed the fat while drinking. They finished more than ten bottles of red wine in an hour and a half.

...

Back at Pinewoods Villa, Veronica and Matthew had their breakfast early in the morning. Looking at him with a heavy heart, she approached him to give him a hug. "I'm leaving."

He placed his hands on her lower back and gazed at the woman in his arms, smiling affectionately. "You've been studying the script for over a month just to perform better on set. Do your best and don't leave any regrets."

"I don't want to leave you, what should I do?" She pouted before rolling her eyes. "It's all your fault for insisting on announcing our divorce to the public. You can't visit me on set now."

"If we didn't announce the divorce, people will definitely accuse that you got the role because of your connections. No matter how hard you work, others see you as someone that pulls strings rather than an actress with potential." Matthew reassured her with her justification.

In fact, he hoped that Veronica would leave Pinewoods Villa and start filming as soon as possible.

That way, the public would think that they were separated for a long time, adding more credits to their divorce. Flavian wouldn't keep an eye on Veronica too.

"Alright, you have a point." She sighed. "We probably won't see each other for a long time from today onwards. Matt, you have to be careful of Conrad."

Ever since they returned from the hidden clan, Conrad had been living a very low-key life and hadn't made any moves in secret. Veronica could hardly believe that.

She said worriedly, "It has been quiet. Something must be going on."

Matthew chuckled at Veronica's statement and leaned over, resting his forehead against hers. "My dear wife, are you worried about me?"

"Isn't that obvious?" She glared at him. "You're the father of my child. If I don't care about you, who else would I care about?"

She leaned against Matthew's chest and closed her eyes to listen to the sound of his heartbeat.

He wrapped his arm around her waist and ran his hand through her hair. "I won't send you off to the set today. Remember, you can come back anytime if you're not happy about the environment. Your husband can support you."

It was said on purpose, but he knew Veronica's personality very well. Once she set her mind on something, she wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal.

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." She nodded. "I'll probably be gone for at least a month. What should I do if I miss you?"

"Should I go to the set to see you?"

"Forget it. You announced our 'divorce' to let me join showbiz. If you go to the set to see me, that would be going against your intention." She straightened up and kissed him on the cheek, standing on her tiptoes. "I'll come to you when I miss you."
