Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268 Yvonne Was Stirring Up Trouble

“Why didn’t you call me when I hadn’t contacted you for the past two months?” Xavier teased Veronica.

In truth, he was learning to take over the Crawford Family’s business for the past two months.

Konig Company was previously established as a small business for him to play with. It could barely support him financially, but now, he had a heavy burden and responsibility.

Even though Xavier did not want to take over the Crawford Family’s business, he had to bear the pressure, bite the bullet, and accept it.

That was because… he wanted to become stronger.

In fact, there was an urgent need for him to become powerful in a short period of time.

“I heard that you’ve been busy hanging around with your eldest brother to take over the company. I’m worried that I’ll disturb you, so I didn’t contact you.”

A polite reply slipped out of her lips so naturally that even Veronica herself could not believe she said it.

The last time she injured Xavier, Veronica simply thought she had injured two people, but she never expected that she would hit Melissa’s knee meniscus with another shot, causing her to be lying on the hospital bed until today.

Even if she received the best treatment available, there would still be long-term side effects.

Veronica did not feel guilty toward Melissa, but she always found it difficult to face Xavier as calmly as she did before.

“Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to go skiing together?” he invited warmly.

“Skiing? Sounds like fun, but I don’t know how to.”

She indeed did not know how to ski.

“That’s nothing to worry about when you have me.”

After saying that, he immediately added, “I will call you at 9 am tomorrow on the dot. Can’t wait to see you tomorrow. Have a good rest. Bye.”

“Huh? I… Hello?”

Veronica wanted to reject him, but Xavier did not give Veronica any chance to before hanging up the phone.

Such a rushed plan made Veronica feel a little awkward.

She sighed. “Skiing? Sounds like a good way to unwind.”

She did not even take a day off in the past two months.

Vincere Games was currently operating smoothly while Encounter Bridal Store’s business was gradually stabilizing and she was assured that the future of both companies was bound to develop steadily.

Therefore, now was the chance for her to take a break.

However… when she thought about being alone with Xavier tomorrow, Veronica found it somewhat uncomfortable, so she called Yvonne.

“Why are you calling me so late at night?” On the phone, Yvonne muttered.

“Do you want to go skiing tomorrow?” Veronica inquired straightforwardly.

“Sure. Where are we going?”

When Yvonne asked the question, Veronica was taken aback because she forgot to ask Xavier where they were going.

“It should be… in Bloomstead’s ski resort. Where else could it be?”

“Who are you going with?”

“Xavier.”

“That’s all?”

“And you?”

“You… You want me to be a third wheeler?” Yvonne snorted, thinking how unkind Veronica was.

“I just thought we haven’t been out for a long time, so I want to take you out for some fun. How about you invite another person?”

“Okay.”

The two chatted for a while, and after deciding the time, they ended the call.
