Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78

“You’re just finding all sorts of excuses!”

Just then, Veronica rolled her eyes at Matthew and she felt that he was being utterly unreasonable. She got the feeling that only his limbs had evolved since the Stone Age, but his brain was still stuck in the prehistoric age. In short, he was an utter moron.

However, Veronica didn’t want to continue arguing, so she leaned against the window and remained silent as she closed her eyes.

At that point, the car descended into silence.

Finally, they arrived at the underground parking site of the Twilight Club. The two of them subsequently got out of the car and walked into the elevator, one after the other.

Thomas handed over the keys to Matthew before driving his own car back home. The former adamantly refused to get involved in the matters of the bickering couple.

In the confined space of the elevator, Veronica tried her hardest to squeeze herself into a corner to maintain as much distance from Matthew as she could. Every move she made clearly indicated her loathing for him.

“Why are you standing so far apart from me?”

Meanwhile, Matthew, who was standing ramrod straight, glanced at her with a frown and there was a significantly displeased look on his handsome face.

“I’m keeping my distance because I need to stay away from people like you. Idiotic behavior can be contagious,” Veronica casually commented as she lifted her brows.

Matthew’s expression instantly darkened the moment he heard that.

Just then, he reached out and pulled her toward him. Then, he held her captive in his arms as he growled, “Why don’t you try repeating that again?”

ALL

Veronica struggled to get out of his embrace but despite her struggles, she couldn’t seem to extricate herself from his tight hold.

In the end, after realizing that her efforts were futile, she decided not to struggle unnecessarily.

And so, she looked up and glared at him. “I said I need to stay away from people like

you.”

“What about your next sentence?”

“Idiotic behavior can be contagious.”

“Do you have a death wish?”

He harshly pinched her on the cheeks. Her flawless, porcelain-like skin instantly bulged up, and she looked quite comical and cute just then.

“You’re just making assumptions that I’m talking about you. Is that my fault? Besides, did I even mention your name?”

Veronica’s pretty-looking brows were tightly furrowed and she reached out to swat the back of Matthew’s hands. “Let go of me. Don’t you know that it’s inappropriate to touch the opposite gender?”

“We’ve been in the same bed, so don’t you think that it’s too late for all these?”

Matthew curled his well-defined lips into a smile and there was a hint of playfulness in his voice. Even his eyes were full of desire.

The look in his gaze resulted in a shiver down Veronica’s spine and she gulped instinctively. “I’m warning you, Matthew Kings! If you dare touch me again, I swear I won’t forgive you ever again in this lifetime!” Veronica meant all of her words.

Meanwhile, Matthew scrutinized her for a moment before coldly exclaiming, “You look exactly like Tiffany, so where did you get the confidence to actually think that I would want to touch you?” His underlying meaning was that he would rather touch Tiffany than her.

Veronica’s heart was finally at ease the moment she heard that.

Ding!

Meanwhile, they arrived at the ground floor and the doors to the elevator slid open.

And so, Matthew relinquished his hold on her. Instantly, Veronica turned around to walk out of the elevator and headed toward the living room.

She stood in the living room and turned to him. “You can sleep in the master bedroom and I’ll take the guest room. There’s no need for any interaction between

us.”

At that point, Matthew finally saw the fear on Veronica’s face and she resembled a deer caught in headlights. Her expression triggered a wave of sympathy in him.

“Alright.” He affirmed and turned around to walk into the master bedroom before shutting the door behind him.

As soon as Veronica saw Matthew walk into the room, she finally took a seat on the couch, her expression weary. Just then, she switched on the television to watch a drama.

Ever since Elizabeth had taken Veronica as her god granddaughter, Matthew no longer touched her. It was quite likely that he had some reservations now that they were supposedly siblings by name.

She flipped through the labels on the clothes and noticed that it was all in her size. Is this for me?

Veronica was slightly surprised. Turns out the infamous domineering president is actually so busy with work that he doesnt even have enough time to sleep!

Ha! It looks like we’ve taken up Kings’ precious sweet time with his wife.”
