CHAPTER 1023 LOVEY-DOVEY 

Matthew placed the contract down and walked over to sit next to Veronica.He raised his hand and pulled her into his embrace before resting his chin on her head as he let out a long sigh.

"The dust has settled, and we can finally go home."

Veronica leaned against his chest and smiled.She closed her eyes slowly and said, "Yes, we can finally go back to Bloomstead.First, we'll take Shirley to see the plastic surgeon and finalize her surgery plan.Then, we'll take the kids to visit my parents and have a good family reunion."

"Okay, we'll do as you say."

Matthew leaned forward and planted a kiss on her lips affectionately.

Half a month later, they finally arrived in Castron.

Upon arrival, they were greeted with a barrage of news headlines that read, ‘Prince Zac Dies in a Tragic Boating Accident’, ‘Prince Zac Killed by Sharks While Scuba Diving’, ‘Prince Zac Hit to Death by a Propeller After Falling Into the Sea’.

The news headlines were all about how he died.

Meanwhile, the content of the news stated that witnesses saw Prince Zac fall into the sea and get eaten by sharks or hit by a propeller, attracting sharks, and his corpse couldn't be salvaged.

The Castron king was heartbroken, but he confirmed the identity of the corpse through the body tissues that were brought back and held a funeral for Prince Zac.

Veronica and her companions knew the truth, but this matter would be kept a secret forever.This belongs to : ©.

Dominik did a clean job, leaving no trace behind, and even arranged for a trustworthy person on the ship to bring back a piece of human tissue to give to the king.

This was beyond Matthew's expectations, and he couldn't help but praise Dominik's wits after reading the news.

Since they arrived in Castron at night, they flew back to Bloomstead on Matthew's luxurious private jet that same night.

The interior of the private jet was meticulously designed and crafted.

It was modern yet luxurious.

While they rested on the leather couch in the living room, a butler brought over a bottle of fine wine and poured everyone a glass.

A Michelin five-star chef prepared exquisite dishes in the kitchen, and the servers brought them out one by one.

Eleanor was still wearing her eye- catching red dress, with long hair flowing down her shoulders.

She sat with her legs crossed while lazily leaning against the couch, which revealed her slender and fair legs.She took a sip of the wine and licked her lips before complimenting, "It tastes good.This sure is a fine wine."

"Try this."

Veronica pointed to the steak in front of her.

"It's a sirloin steak, and it tastes good."

"Sure."

Eleanor beamed, but she couldn't help but frown when she held the knife and fork.

"Ah, this thing is so troublesome to use."

Since she wasn't used to eating with cutleries, it was simply awkward and maddening for her.

"Just get used to it."

Matthew sliced the steak with his knife and fork as he said to Eleanor.

Hearing that, Eleanor raised an eyebrow and looked at the steak on his plate.

"So, are you cutting this for me?"

"Dream on."

Matthew scoffed.

With that, he placed the cut steak in front of Veronica, and also placed Veronica's steak in front of himself before whispering, "Have this."

He gazed at Veronica tenderly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! I'm just kidding."

Eleanor shook her head.

"I feel full from watching your interactions."

Upon hearing that, Veronica and Matthew smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

Suddenly, Veronica asked the servant next to her, "Did you prepare for anything Skyler and Shirley? Shirley likes sweets, so remember to prepare some mousse cakes, crepe cakes, and tiramisu for her."
