Chapter 92
“Matthew, wasn’t it your man who carried my luggage? Where is it?” Veronica furrowed her brows and questioned Matthew.
The man closed his umbrella and carefully buckled its belt before coldly glancing al her as he opened his thin lips. “I’m not related to you at all, so why should I help you carry your luggage?”
This guy is so petty. Her expression darkened as she rolled her eyes at him. He must have gotten angry when I introduced him to Quincy, but I didn’t expect him to be so petty.
“Fine, our friendship is now over.” She grunted coldly and said to Quincy, “Please wait here for me. I need to take my luggage and will be back shortly.”
After that, she turned around to retrieve her luggage. While walking past Matthew, she fiercely nudged his arm before dashing off.
As the road down the mountain was muddy, it was still too slippery and caused her to be extremely slow.
It was originally a ten-minute journey, but Veronica took more than twenty minutes to arrive there. When she had spent another twenty minutes to return, Matthew was the only one left as the others were gone.
She angrily placed her luggage on the ground before glaring at him to ask, “Where’s Quincy?”
“He said that you are too slow, so he left first,” he uttered coldly as he held his umbrella with one hand and rested the other hand in his pocket.
“Can’t you be nice to me?!” An exasperated Veronica rolled her eyes at him. This b*stard! Because of a few words that I said earlier, he left my luggage a few miles away and made me walk for almost an hour for nothing.
“I’m not related to you at all, so why should I be nice to you?” Matthew took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up before silently smoking it.
After that, Veronica walked past him to move forward while carrying her luggage.
The road up the mountain was just as treacherous and their journey along the muddy road was made even more difficult by the earlier rainstorm.
Therefore, it was extremely exhausting for her to carry the luggage up the mountain.
After climbing up the mountain and standing at the peak, she lifted her head and realized that Quincy and the other two men were already on top of another mountain in front of her and Matthew.
She could faintly see their figures.
At the moment, since Veronica was bearing a grudge against Matthew, she angrily walked in front of him without saying a word.
Meanwhile, Matthew, who was following closely behind her, saw that she looked a bit tired and asked, “Do you need me to help you carry it?”
“I’m not related to you, so I don’t want your help!” the woman roared.
“Okay, you’re right,” he replied without saying anything else. Then, he continued to silently follow her from behind. –
After they went up the mountain, they now began their descent. Even though Veronica was wearing a pair of non-slip shoes, the footwear couldn’t withstand the steep and slippery mountain road, so she was close to falling a few times. In the end, she was able to prop her luggage on the ground to prevent such mishaps.
However, she didn’t notice that every time she was about to fall, Matthew would reach out and try to support her, but he would silently withdraw his hand since she was able to stabilize herself each time.
The panting Veronica now stood on the edge of the mountain and looked at the steep road down the mountain as she was afraid of slipping later on. She was standing on a rock with arms akimbo while glaring at Matthew.
At that moment, their eyes met.
One of them was calm and relaxed while the other was panting crazily.
Veronica was exhausted because the luggage had been too heavy. It was already a miracle that she could carry it this far.
Even though she was raging, she decided to ‘surrender’ in the end.
After all, one should look after their interests at all times, so she chose to throw in the towel.
“Matthew, since you are my godbrother, why didn’t you help me all the way here? Do you really think I won’t tell Grandma about this when I’m back?”
This b*stard! Why can‘t you just be nice to me? Serves you right for being single even when you are almost 30. I hope that you‘ll be lonely for the rest of his life!
The man raised his brows. “Oh, is that so? Who was the one who told me earlier tha! I’m not related to her at all?”
