Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379 Roni Is Aggrieved

Caleb was not fluent in sign language. As a result, he didn’t understand what Abby was trying to express. “I… I can’t understand you,” he said.

When she heard that, her original bright gaze dimmed and her eyes were filled with disappointment. She simply smiled and lowered her head to take her basket and machete before leaving.

“Wait!” Caleb went after her and handed her the frostbite cream that he purchased. Noticing her full hands, he placed the cream in her pocket before moving off to one side and allowing her to leave.

Abby lowered her head to look at the cream in her pocket, then at him. Her gaze was filled with gratitude and, at the same time, helplessness. After that, she left.

Caleb did not chase after her again.

Meanwhile, after spending some time at Veronica’s house, the lot of them were packing their belongings and preparing to leave.

Veronica wanted to accompany her foster parents for a longer period of time, so she did not follow them back.

When Matthew was about to leave, he pulled Veronica into the bedroom.

She couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing by acting so mysteriously?”

Moments after they entered the room, he shut the door and turned around to face her. One of his hands yanked her arm while his other hand rested on the back of her head as he lowered his head and kissed her on her lips.

His heavy breaths rushed into her nose and she found herself immersed in a familiar sensation.

Veronica raised her hands which were beside her and wrapped them around his waist, tiptoeing to kiss him back.

For those who were in love, separation was unbearable.

Just as they were enjoying their kiss, someone knocked on the door.

Veronica pushed him back and asked with her head tilted, “Who’s there? Give me a minute.”

However, there was no response from outside the door.

She then looked at Matthew, only to notice some dampness on the corner of his lips.

With her face flushed, she raised her hand to wipe it away. “I have to accompany my parents and will be back in Bloomstead in a few days,” she said shyly.

Hearing that, Matthew took her hand in his and gently rubbed her back with his fingers. “I need to rush back to Castron for some urgent matters first. I should be in Bloomstead by the time you have arrived.”

“Okay. Take good care of yourself.”

“You too.”

“And…” Veronica suddenly had a solemn look. Pointing to his nose, she warned, “We’re over if I find out that you lied to me again. I cannot stand any kind of deception or betrayal.”

“Of course. I’ll follow whatever you say, my wife.”

Matthew then smiled tacitly before taking her hand and kissing the back of her palm.

“I’m not your wife yet! Come on, you should leave now.”

Then, she pried open his grip and opened the door.

However, as soon as the door was opened, Tony and Daniella nearly fell to the ground after losing their balance.

“Dad, Mom, what are you both doing?” Veronica asked with her brows furrowed. Truth was, she obviously knew what the both of them were doing. What is going on? These two elders even know how to eavesdrop now?

“Oh—nothing much. We’re just leaning against the door while discussing something. We didn’t know Matthew and you are in the room.” Tony tried to wiggle his way out by making up some excuses.

“That’s right. We were discussing whether we should give Matthew something since this is his first time here.”

Daniella suddenly recalled that she had a small present for Matthew in her pocket and she quickly took it out and handed it to him.

“Mrs. Murphy, this is not necessary.” He simply waved his hand to it.
