Her Billionaire Husband

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 i mmediately 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 everythin g 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 discomf ort, “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 earli er.

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.

The woman didn‘t reply and merely stopped when she arrived in front of him.

Although it was only for an instant, the breeze carried with it a strange scent along with the scent of the fl ora and fauna with it

Peering coldly, Matthew asked, “Who are you?”

“I–It‘s me, Melissa.”

After ‘a thorough preparation, Melissa had intentionally sprayed perfume before coming over, hoping that Matthew would be charmed into looking directly at her.

Only God knew how exciting she felt to see her dream guy standing in front of her at that moment. She h ad butterflies in her stomach and it took her a long while before she calmed down.

“What are you doing here? Where‘s Veronica?“||

If it hadn‘t been for Veronica, Matthew would have already left as soon as this woman appeared.

“Veronica, she… wanted me to tell you to wait a bit longer as her tummy is still aching.”

When Veronica returned to the room, she had reminded Melissa multiple times to say those exact words to Matthew, so that he would stay there for a little longer.

It was only through this method that Melissa could be alone with him for some time.

Veronica had to painstakingly come up with such a plan just to earn Melissa‘s money.

The premise was that Matthew could not suspect anything strange about all this. Otherwise, their deal thi s time would only end in failure.

“Okay then, you can leave now.”

Taking out another cigarette, Matthew lit it before taking yet another puff.

Melissa, who had walked to his left side, coincidentally smelled the light tobacco scent that blew past her face.

Smelling the hint of tobacco, she found it harder to suppress the ecstasy inside her.

In her memory, this was her first time being so close to Matthew after all these years.

Just standing beside him was enough to make her woozy as she could feel his pheromones in the air.

“M–Matthew, you love Tiffany very much, right?“:

Not wanting to leave, Melissa tried to start a conversation.

After she spoke, it felt like her question had been blown away by the wind as Matthew did not show any in

Not giving up, she lamented, “Veronica looks exactly like Tiffany, but you chose to be engaged to the latte

This was something that she really wanted to know.

Holding the cigarette in his hand, Matthew stopped to look at the stars.

Although Melissa was Xavier‘s sister, for someone who never once contacted him, she was suddenly ask

Turning his gaze to the direction of the chief‘s house, Matthew reflected on how Veronica said that she had something to say to him before mysteriously having a stomach ache. Don‘t tell

Thinking of this, the man had a slight smirk on his face. “It‘s just an engagement,” he said bluntly.

Hearing this made Melissa‘s eyes light up. “It‘s just an engagement? Does that mean that things can chan

Things can ofien change.”

It was only four words that were emotionlessly said, but Melissa still treated it as if it were the gospel from

This kind of confidently arrogant and godlike man made Melissa love him from her core.

Melissa‘s ecstasy came from the fact that she had successfully met her idol.

“Does that mean that you might not be marrying Tiffany in the future?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Her question made Matthew fall into silence again.

From his standpoint, he had clearly given the answer just now.

However, Matthew had failed to notice that barring the answer, his words contained a lot of information wi

In that split second, he knew that he was expecting something, yet he did not know exactly what it was that he ex
