Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

She‘s in trouble?

As Matthew slightly frowned, his handsome face showed signs of concern; it looked like he was in deep thought.

This change of emotion wasn’t only noticed by himself, though.

At that moment, Tiffany happened to walk out of the ward and saw at once that something seemed off with him, so she asked, “Matthew, is there something wrong?”

Just as Matthew received news about Veronica, the Larsons had already informed Tiffany about their plans.

Not even a few seconds after immersing herself in happiness, Tiffany overheard Matthew being on the phone with someone.

Although it was vague, she knew it was likely to be something concerning Veronica.

That was the reason why she had gone out. Since she had a restless mind, she wanted to ask about what happened.

Pacing around the living room, Matthew turned back and saw Tiffany before immediately hanging up on his call.

“Why are you still awake at this ungodly hour?”

Keeping his phone away, he cast a distant gaze on her.

As there was an extra bed in the ward, Matthew had arranged for Tiffany to sleep on it while he would spend the night on the living room’s couch.

“I.” After pursing her lips, she replied, “I could not sleep.”

“Oh.”

The moment he heard her answer, he only gave an uncaring response before staring into a random space in the living room to immerse himself in his own thoughts.

His strange demeanor made the perplexed Tiffany ask with a frown, “Matthew, is everything alright?”

Her words snapped Matthew back to reality as he looked at her at an angle, “There’s something at the company that I need to deal with: I’ll come back later.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Something at the company needs him? Tiffany, who did not believe an ounce of Matthew’s words, knew that he was obviously concerned about Veronica, which made her deeply agitated by the blatant lie.

To her knowledge, a man born with a golden spoon like Matthew never cared about lying to someone else and neither would he care about someone else than Elizabeth. Yet, is he actually going to find that wench and abandon the hospitalized Old Mrs. Kings now?

As Tiffany noticed that he was about to leave, she walked briskly and grabbed his wrists. “Matthew, please don’t go. I’m scared.”

Her sweet and gentle voice sounded like music to one’s ears.

With a slight raise of her eyebrow, she stepped forward and tightly embraced him with her head on Matthew’s sculpted chest. “Could you stay with me for a moment?”

Her lovely charms would make anyone pity her on the spot.

However, in Matthew’s blindspot, Tiffany had a frosty gaze that emanated jealousy from within. Veronica, you b*tch. You can give up on the thought that Mattthew will be saving you! From today onward, the world will only know of me, Tiffany Larson, and you will cease to exist!

As the most beautiful person in Bloomstead, she had always received innumerable acclaims of praise and flattery on her talents in music, chess, arts and literature. All the compliments were the same-that apart from looking heavenly, she also had the brains to compliment her looks.

Yet, it was because of Veronica’s appearance that she felt a great sense of danger now.

She would not allow some country bumpkin fresh from some village to look exactly like her. If Veronica became the center of attention by any chance and Tiffany’s own dirty laundry was aired to the public, it would only serve to completely destroy Tiffany’s image.

“I’ll let Thomas come and accompany you.”

Matthew did not like one bit that Tiffany hugged him of her accord to the point that the disgust in his eyes could not be hidden.

2/5

Reaching out, he wanted to push her away, but who could have known that she had hugged him with such force?

Shaking her head, Tiffany softly cajoled, “Matthew, I was reading about horror stories in a hospital two days ago, which is why I’m so scared now. Dòn’t go, please?”

Her sweet tone was akin to a bell that rang into one’s consciousness.

In her heart was a brewing pot of hatred instead.

Nobody knew whether this hate was directed at Veronica or Matthew. Let Thomas accompany me? You’re letting Thomas stand in for you just because you want to look for Veronica, right?

She had to swallow it for now.
