Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 465

Chapter 465 He’s Worried

Veronica flung her arm over Larry’s shoulder after he finished speaking. “We know each other too well; I don’t have feelings for you anymore. I prefer the sort of guy who can make my heart thump when I first see him. By the way, you’ve been in the entertainment industry for a while now, so I’m sure you know many handsome guys.

Why don’t you introduce a few to me soon?” She was clearly saying this for Matthew’s ears. Hmph! Does he think I don’t have better options? If he can have Sasha, I can also date other handsome men. It’s all a game! If he wants to play, then I’ll play with him!

Matthew could feel his temples throbbing when he heard Veronica’s words ringing in his ear. However, he had no choice but to hold himself back.

“If you ever guide Roni down the wrong path, I will never forgive you for it,” he said in the end. Since Larry saw Matthew as Veronica’s godbrother, he figured that he would have to speak to Larry with that ‘godbrother’ role in mind.

When Larry heard what Matthew said, he turned around and grinned at Matthew. “I wouldn’t dare to do so. Nevertheless, I can’t stop other men from throwing themselves toward her,” he said. Larry was indeed a good friend—he played along with Veronica by using his words to trigger Matthew.

Veronica gave Larry a look to indicate that he had made a smart move. “Well, of course. I have way too many pursuers coming after me now,” Veronica added. She might have sounded rather conceited, but she didn’t sound like she was exaggerating it.

“Hey, aren’t you guys coming?” The rest of the people were already a distance away, and Skyler soon realized that there were three people who hadn’t caught up with them. So, he waved his arms in the air and told them to hurry. Veronica carried some bags in one hand and rested her other hand on Larry’s shoulder.

“Hurry up, Crazy. I remember how your parents used to host barbeques and how great you were at preparing the food. I’ll have to try some of your cooking today! Hahaha…” Veronica and Larry chit-chatted as they walked, leaving Matthew all to himself.

Matthew, accustomed to being treated like a VIP, couldn’t bear to be left on his own. His face turned hot with rage, and the veins in his arms protruded out of his skin—he was evidently infuriated by the situation.

Hold it in. I have to hold it in! He kept telling himself to calm down, and he eventually walked behind them after he managed to soothe his anger a little. He walked at a quick pace, and he soon caught up with Larry and Veronica.

With about 10 feet between him and the duo, Matthew walked behind them and listened to their conversation. Veronica had an arm around Larry’s shoulder, and they were chatting and laughing as they walked.

Sometimes, Veronica would throw her head back as she let out a hearty laugh. She didn’t seem to care about her image at all. Meanwhile, Larry didn’t seem like he was trying to keep his image as a celebrity, either—they interacted casually and comfortably.

Matthew tried to strike a conversation with them, but they completely ignored him. “Hey, Demoness, do you remember how you climbed over the school walls to go to the cyber cafe? I thought you would guide me in gaming, but all you did was get me punished,” Larry said.

“That’s because you’re dumb. We wouldn’t have gotten caught if you had managed to win the game earlier! What nonsense,” Veronica replied. They continued talking about games for a while, and Matthew finally found a chance to interrupt them midway. “Did you guys skip high school and climb out to play computer games?” he asked.

Larry frowned and glanced at Veronica before looking at Matthew. “Yes…” he started with a nod. But before Larry could say anything else, Veronica interrupted him by patting him on the shoulder.

“Now that we’re talking about this, I just recalled something. I heard the others say that you were caught skipping school once and were forced to stand on the stage in front of everyone else. Hahaha…” Veronica let out a cheerful giggle as she thought about this funny incident.
