Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 33

It was obvious that Veronica was avoiding questions about Matthew.

Since that was the case, there was no need for him to pursue it,

Everyone had their own secrets.

Xavier finished peeling the apple and handed it to Veronica. “Here. Eat it.”

“Huh? It’s for me?”

Veronica was quite surprised by his actions. When she saw him peeling the apple just now, she thought he was doing it for himself.

After all, Xavier was known for being a famous playboy in Bloomstead. He never knew how to be tender toward women.

Yet, he actually peeled an apple for her today.

Uh...

“Hahaha. No, no, it’s okay. I don’t want to eat it.” Veronica quickly waved her hand and refused.

“This is my first time peeling a fruit for a woman, yet you dare to refuse?”

Xavier’s face sank, and his posture undoubtedly changed too.

He seemed to be saying, If you dare to refuse what I give you, watch out for the consequences!

Veronica was a little touched. She accepted the apple and took a bite, then said while chewing, “Thank you.”

In Bloomstead, she was a stranger in a strange place.

Her real family was her ‘enemy’, but someone who had nothing to do with her was willing to stay by her side.

It was hard for Veronica to not feel moved by this.

The two fell silent for a while, then Veronica began to shoo him out. “If there’s

alone.”

Xavier leaned back in the chair, then crossed his legs as a wicked smile played on his lips. “Roni, you’re somewhat ignorant of kindness. I’m a person who’s occupied with a myriad of affairs. You should be grateful lhat I’m here with you.”

“Pfft…”

Amused by his remarks, Veronica couldn’t hold back ber laughter. “Alright, alright. Since you’re so occupied with a myriad of allairs, you should hurry up and deal with them. I can’t afford to be responsible for any delays.”

“If you can’t afford to take responsibility, you should consider repaying me with your body.”

“Hey, you have an endless supply of beautiful women around you, yet you’ll settle for someone like me? Aren’t you afraid you’ll get bored of me after just one night?”

Veronica didn’t take Xavier’s words to heart, and she even joked about it with him, seemingly in a good mood.

She had applied some makeup, so her complexion was dark and her face was full of freckles. Her thick black eyebrows, in particular, made her look like a cartoon character.

To her surprise, Xavier still regarded her as a friend.

Her self-deprecating statements got a laugh out of Xavier.

For a moment, the ward was filled with laughter, and the atmosphere was good.

At noon, Xavier ordered a plain, healthy meal as takeaway from Bloomstead’s One Piece Restaurant.

When the delivery person sent One Piece Restaurant’s food over, Veronica panicked upon seeing the takeaway packaging.

“Young Master Xavier, you’ve spent too much. Their food is too expensive. It’s hard to get even one meal at One Piece Restaurant, but you actually ordered takeaway. I don’t have the money to return you.”

She knew that Xavier regarded her as a friend, but she always kept in mind that she was just a child of a poor family from the countryside.

Even though Xavier was generous with her, she couldn’t just accept it and enjoy it unscrupulously because she couldn’t afford to pay back even a little bit of gratitude debts.

“The Crawfords own shares of One Piece, so don’t worry. If you like it, I’ll ask someone to send it to you every day.”

Veronica was dumbfounded.

Sure enough, the rich were capricious.

“It’s a blessing to have you as a friend. However, although One Piece’s food is quite good, I’m not used to the taste.”

She randomly gave him an excuse.

She just hoped that Xavier wouldn’t order any more food for her. Otherwise, she truly wouldn’t be able to pay off the debts of gratitude.

As the saying went, ‘gifts blind the eyes!

Xavier accompanied Veronica until the afternoon before leaving

Then, he drove to Saint Hospital and brought meals to Veronica’s adoptive mother. He made up an excuse, saying that Veronica’s company arranged for her to go to a foreign country for training, and that she would be back in a few days.

Daniella completely believed Xavier. She knew that her daughter was a filial and well-behaved child, so she didn’t think much about it.

At this moment, at the Larson Residence, Floch immediately notified Tiffany and Rachel of the news of Veronica’s miscarriage.

The family of three was ecstatic to learn of this, with the happiest person being Tiffany. She hugged Rachel excitedly and exclaimed, “Mom, thank you so much. You always have the best ideas.”

On the day of the engagement party at the hotel, Rachel had contacted the delivery app merchant in advance, and she spent a huge sum to bribe the internal programmer to tamper a little behind the scenes so that Veronica would deliver the takeaway directly to the hotel.

Then, she bribed the hotel staff.

Afterward, Veronica entered the hotel with the takeaway and happened to see Matthew and Tiffany getting engaged.

Rachel thought that Veronica would cause a scene, which would anger the Kings and lead them to deal with Veronica.

They didn’t expect that she could remain so calm.

“Don’t be too quick to be happy. Veronica was more composed than we thought, so you have to have your guard up in the future,” Rachel reminded Tiffany.

The fact that Tiffany and Matthew were engaged but weren’t living together made the Larson Family feel uneasy.

Nevertheless, Tiffany still appeared triumphant, and she snorted coldly. “Mom, you’re too cautious. Since Veronica dared to take medicine to commit suicide’ last night, how could she be considered composed?”

For some reason, Tiffany just couldn’t stand hearing Rachel praise Veronica, and she would get annoyed every single time.

“Sigh, I hope so.”

Rachel sighed, then took Tiffany’s hand and brought her to the sofa before saying solemnly, “You and Matthew just got engaged, but as long as you’re not married, you can’t be too careless. When you’re free, go to the Kings Residence to visit Old Mrs. Kings. She’s the person in the Kings Family with the most authority.”

She had to tell Tiffany what to do. After all, Tiffany was still young, so there were some things that she wasn’t aware of.

“That’s right. What your mom said makes sense. Matthew obeys Elizabeth the most, so you must please her,” Floch echoed.

“Yeah, I know.”

Immersed in the joy of her engagement to Matthew and Veronica’s miscarriage, Tiffany couldn’t calm her excited self down.

– “Then, what are you still doing here in a daze? Go and pack up, then go visit Old Mrs.

Kings at the Kings Residence,” Rachel patiently advised as she gave Tiffany a pat.

“Okay. Mon.”

Tiffany immediately went upstairs and changed into another set of clothes, then got into the car with the gifis that Floch and Rachel lad prepared for her before «riving away

Along the way, she called Matthew. “Matthew, where are you? Can I go find you?”

On the phone, her voice was soft and gentle.

“I’m at the office.” After speaking those three words with extreme indiflerence, he had nothing else to say:

He‘s really a miser with words.

“Matthew, I happen to be free today and want to visit Grandma. If you’re not free, I can go on my own.”

Through the phone, she could practically feel Matthew’s expression, which was as cold as ice. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Tiffany was a little uncomfortable with Matthew’s cold nature.

“Okay, go ahead.”

“Then, come and pick me up when you’re done, okay?”

“Okay.”

After responding, he hung up.

When Tiffany arrived at the Kings Residence, she was told that Elizabeth had gone out.

At this moment, Elizabeth and the housekeeper had appeared in Veronica’s ward.
