Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Veronica Becomes an Assistant

Matthew felt bad about what he had done once he saw how angry she was. He even felt a little guilty.

While he usually had a lot of self-control, it had begun to weaken ever since he started spending time with Veronica, especially after she agreed to be with him.

“I’ll do my best to control myself next time,” Matthew reassured her gently. “Breakfast’s ready, so come to the table once you’ve washed up.”

“Go away! I don’t want to look at you!” Veronica rolled her eyes and stormed into the bedroom, slamming the door behind her.

She went into the bathroom to get ready and had a change of clothes.

Veronica had planned to leave for the office in a huff, but as soon as she opened the bedroom door, she was hit by the mouth-watering scent of breakfast.

Her stomach began to growl. She was starving after a laborious night, and the delicious smells whet her appetite even further.

Matthew came over to her and grabbed her hand. “Come on, let’s eat. I’ll drop you off at the office afterward.”

“Why would I let you drop me off? Isn’t that the same as announcing our relationship to the world?” Veronica glared at him and snorted before stomping off toward the dining table.

There was a bowl of prawn porridge on the table.

It seemed like porridge was the only thing Matthew knew how to cook.

Veronica got her spoon and gave it a good mix before looking up at Matthew, who was sitting across from her and staring at her with a pitiful expression.

Her anger had nearly run its course by now.

She continued mixing the porridge as she instructed Matthew, “From today onward, go back to your own house.”

Matthew did not know how to react. He wanted to say that this was his home too, but he was too afraid to actually do so.

Too afraid, huh?

He never thought that there would come a time when he would hesitate so much over a simple sentence.

“Oh, right. This house is yours too,” Veronica added in realization. “That’s fine. I’ll go back to my house tonight.”

“Just eat your breakfast. You’re going to be late if you don’t hurry,” Matthew reminded her.

She left it at that and made quick work of breakfast before grabbing her bag and heading off to work. Just before she left the house, she said to Matthew, “I’ll be going now. Bye.”

“I’ll drop you off.”

“Forget it. It’d be troublesome if anyone sees us.”

“It’ll be fine.” Matthew swiftly cleared the dishes and washed up before coming back out and wearing his shoes, then followed Veronica downstairs.

Veronica was still a little hesitant, but this changed once she saw Matthew walking over to an ordinary, nondescript sedan. This guy even got himself a cheap car.

She climbed into the front passenger seat and was about to ask him whether he could get used to driving such an ordinary car when she realized that the car’s interior was decked out like a luxury car.

“You modified the interiors?” She turned to Matthew and asked.

“Yeah.” Matthew nodded and he could not resist nudging her cheek when he saw the adorable look on her face. “Seatbelts on.”

Soon, the car was slowly making its way toward Starshine Media Agency.

After a while, they pulled up outside Veronica’s office.

“I’m getting off now.” Veronica unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out of the car when Matthew asked coolly, “Haven’t you forgotten something?”

“What?” She confirmed that she had both her phone and her purse with her. “I’m not missing anything.”

Seeing how clueless she was, he pulled her closer and bent down to give her a kiss on the lips. He bit down gently before saying, “You forgot this. Remember it next time.”

He released her and helped her to straighten her clothes before patting her on the head like she was a cute puppy.

“Ugh!” Veronica rolled her eyes at him before clambering out of the car.

However, with her back facing him, her lips curled up in satisfaction.
