Chapter 872 Giving Her Husband Away
“Are you willing to do whatever I say?” Veronica nodded. “Of course.” “Well then…” A cunning smile appeared on Matthew’s face. Just as he was about to open his mouth to demand what he wanted, a car honk interrupted him.
Then he noticed a car parked right next to his. Matthew’s gaze turned cold after he was interrupted, but he still held Veronica’s cheeks and kissed her lightly on the lips.
It was just a peck. He then let go of her, lowered the car window, and looked out the window at the person outside. “What brings you here, Princess Eleanor?”
Her constant bothering was truly a headache to him. The breeze outside made Eleanor’s red dress flutter.
Her smile shone like the sun. As she brushed her wind-blown hair, she asked, with her arms crossed across her chest, “Am I unwelcome, Master?”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Matthew showed no regard for the lovely lady in front of him. His aloof attitude evidenced his displeasure with Eleanor.
Eleanor, the honorable princess of the hidden clan, had never been treated in this manner before.
However, instead of becoming angry, she became even more obsessed with Matthew. “But I am here to look for Goddess Veronica. You can’t stop me, can you?”
“She is my woman, so of course I have the right to decide,” Matthew responded coldly. Regardless, Eleanor ignored him and opened the backseat door. “I need to speak with Veronica about something. Start the engine, Master.”
Matthew, however, did not move an inch after her words. Eleanor rolled her eyes at that. “I’ve never met a more ungrateful person than you.”
Even though she was complaining, her face was devoid of any anger or dissatisfaction. She even suggested, “Your One Piece Restaurant has begun operations successfully. Are you not going to treat me to a meal there?”
Veronica was surprised to hear that coming from Eleanor. She knew Eleanor was intelligent, but she had no idea Eleanor would know so much about them.
For the moment, Veronica couldn’t figure out Eleanor’s true intent.
Her mind was unfathomable, and she was always doing unusual and unexpected things.
“Since you didn’t expose us in front of Zac, we should treat you to a meal,” Veronica agreed.
As soon as she finished her sentence, Matthew started the engine and headed to One Piece Restaurant.
“It appears that my master is truly… hmm, what’s that word?” Eleanor tried to recollect the word. “Oh, a hen-pecked husband!”
She was, in fact, envious of Matthew’s love and care for Veronica.
But his love was only for Veronica, which Eleanor could never have no matter how hard she tried. “I’m so envious.”
She then tilted her head to look at Veronica and said, “I know your mother has always wanted to be the hidden clan’s leader. Why don’t we strike a deal?”
Veronica raised her brows in response as she understood what Eleanor meant. “It’s not appropriate for you to be so blatantly eyeing my husband.”
“My feelings for him are aboveboard, so I don’t see anything inappropriate about it.” Eleanor then wrapped her arms around Veronica’s neck as if they were best friends and continued, “Furthermore, your mother has been coveting the position of the hidden clan’s leader for so many years. If you can exchange it with your husband, it’s a good deal.”
Veronica couldn’t tell whether Eleanor was merely joking or otherwise.
But she would never trade Matthew for anything.
A smile appeared on her delicate cheeks, and with her razor-sharp gaze, she looked at Eleanor and said, “Princess Eleanor, to be honest with you, Matthew is the most important person in the world to me other than my two children.”
Veronica had only known Matthew for a short time, but their fates had perhaps already been decided long ago.
They loved each other deeply and were willing to go through all sorts of pain and suffering for one another.
Love was all about meeting the right person at the right time.
