Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98

As she had only fancied Melissa‘s ability to give money, she instantly surrendered to Melissa.

“Haha, Veronica, you really are too kind.”

Melissa tilted her head and made a heart shape with her fingers at Veronica‘s direction.

Such a gesture had caused Veronica to feel queasy as it only gave her goosebumps.

After wearing her shoes, she then took a flashlight with her before heading to the house next door. She immediately went to Matthew‘s bedroom after opening the front door. Knocking on the door, she asked, “Matthew?”

Because the villagers had mingled with each other well, they didn‘t close the front door on account of the swarm of outsiders who arrived for the sake of convenience. As such, Veronica merely allowed herself in.

No reply came from the other end.

After waiting for a while, Veronica was going to call for Matthew again when the bedroom door opened.

Matthew stood in front of her in the dark and asked coldly, “What?”

His cold tone had a hint of distance to it.

It was like he still held a grudge about what happened earlier that day.

Veronica thought that he must have been a super petty person in his past life, which explained why he easily became angry.

“About that… Um… I‘ve something urgent to talk to you about. Could you come with me?”

Lowering her voice, she had said it in such a tone that only both of them could hear

1. it.

After a short period of silence, the man agreed and followed her outside.

After walking to the courtyard outside, Matthew stopped and turned around to look

at Veronica. “So, what is it?”

Although it was at the dead of night, the moon cast its bright light to the ground and illuminated everything in a thin veil, barely allowing them to make out each other‘s silhouette.

Suddenly, Veronica held onto her stomach. “Ahhh, my tummy. Ouch, it hurts…”

She subconsciously grabbed onto Matthew‘s arms while whining softly.

Matthew, who had a cold and distant look earlier, immediately asked in worry after seeing her in discomfort, “What‘s wrong? Did you get food poisoning?”

“N–NO…”

Pretending to be in pain, she even squeezed out the words in agony.

“Then… What is it?” a caring Matthew asked.

Veronica whined, “I just…“.

“You just what?”

“I just need to poop, so wait right here for a bit.”

After saying that, Veronica hastily ran off.

At that moment, her words were still swimming in Matthew‘s mind as he thought that the woman was too brash to say those kinds of things..

If I‘m being honest... She should change this habit of hers. Otherwise, how can she be accepted into the Kings Family? Be accepted into the Kings Family?

As he frowned, he suddenly had an image of her wearing a bridal gown on their wedding night while she smiled sweetly at him.

“What are you thinking of?”

As he pinched his eyebrows, Matthew then rubbed his temples, feeling as if he had been possessed earlier.

It was obvious that she would only be accepted into the Kings Residence as his grandmother‘s god–granddaughter–nothing more, nothing less.

He waited for a while at the pond under the moonlight as he took out a cigarette to take a puff

It was not until the tip of a cigarette had been fully lit that the sound of footsteps was heard.

As he turned back, Matthew looked at the shadow standing from a few meters away since he could not make out who it was. “So, how are you feeling now?”

Thinking of how Veronica was in so much hurry when she said those words, he thought that she must have been in a great deal of pain, which was why he had asked with concern.
