CHAPTER 1272 WE ARE FAMILY

This feeling left Veronica feeling both lost and helpless.

Though bitter in her heart, she knew she couldn't have it all.

"You misunderstood." Veronica explained, "He has always wanted to reveal his identity, but I have been stopping him. Also, be careful of Eleanor. She is not as simple as she seems."

After saying that, Veronica didn't have much else to add. "Take care."

She then turned to Matthew. "Matt, let's go."

The two of them walked away from him in silence.

For Xavier, the scene seemed to unfold in slow motion. The person he loved was growing more distant with each step.

His heart was torn apart. The pain was so intense that it felt like spasms, taking his breath away.

When will she ever take a proper look at me?

After Veronica and Matthew got into the car, Matthew started the sedan and slowly drove away.

Inside the car, Veronica leaned against the passenger seat, looking ahead, and sighed. "Offending Zac means that once your identity is revealed, he will definitely know it was you. From now on, you must be cautious."

She was somewhat worried about Matthew's safety.

"Okay, my dear wife."

The man smiled and reached out to touch Veronica's cheek.

But as soon as his hand touched her delicate skin, she mercilessly slapped it away, instructing, "Focus on driving." This feeling left Veronica feeling both lost and helpless.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Matthew was in a good mood. There was even a faint smile that he couldn't hide in his eyes.

Seeing him so happy, Veronica was puzzled. "You look like you're in a good mood."

"It's nothing. I just find it satisfying to see you slap Tiffany."

In the living room earlier, Tiffany kept accusing Veronica and Xavier of colluding with each other. However, Veronica didn't hesitate to walk up and slap her.

As Veronica listened to Matthew's words, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then she smiled. "Is that so?"

She was worried that Matthew would be upset not because she slapped Tiffany, but because Tiffany

slandered her and Xavier. Veronica's slap directly clarified the relationship between her and Xavier.

He was happy because of that.

Veronica's eyes dimmed at the thought of that. She turned her head and looked at Matthew. Pursing her lips, she hesitated for a moment before bringing up, "Matthew, about yesterday... It was my fault. I was being petty."

Matthew took her to the One Piece Restaurant. Soon after, when he was about to leave, she thought Matthew would confront Xavier.

To her surprise, he went to see Zac.

"Okoy, I'll listen to you."

Motthew wos in o good mood. There wos even o foint smile thot he couldn't hide in his eyes.

Seeing him so hoppy, Veronico wos puzzled. "You look like you're in o good mood."

"It's nothing. I just find it sotisfying to see you slop Tiffony."

In the living room eorlier, Tiffony kept occusing Veronico ond Xovier of colluding with eoch other. However, Veronico didn't hesitote to wolk up ond slop her.

As Veronico listened to Motthew's words, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, ond then she smiled. "Is thot so?"

She wos worried thot Motthew would be upset not becouse she slopped Tiffony, but becouse Tiffony slondered her ond Xovier. Veronico's slop directly clorified the relotionship between her ond Xovier.

He wos hoppy becouse of thot.

Veronico's eyes dimmed ot the thought of thot. She turned her heod ond looked ot Motthew. Pursing her lips, she hesitoted for o moment before bringing up, "Motthew, obout yesterdoy... It wos my foult. I wos being petty."

Motthew took her to the One Piece Restouront. Soon ofter, when he wos obout to leove, she thought Motthew would confront Xovier.

To her surprise, he went to see Zoc.

Instinctively, she thought Matthew would be able to escape from Zac and would have a careful plan before dealing with him.

So, when Matthew suddenly left, Veronica could only think of Xavier.

Excessive concern led to problems.

"Xavier has had conflicts with you, but there is also a sense of gratitude. I can understand."

He held Veronica's hand tightly in his palm and softly reassured her, "What you owe him, I owe him too. After all, we are family."

Matthew had always been clear about right and wrong.

And Xavier remembered how Veronica saved his life.

After being separated by Zac's men yesterday, he realized something was wrong. However, since he couldn't escape quickly, he immediately contacted Skyler to come and protect Veronica.

Xavier just so happened to pass by and save her first.

As her husband, Matthew felt guilty about this.

"Matt, thank you."

Veronica was deeply moved.

"Is that all?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

He glanced at Veronica and parked the car on the side of the road, turning off the engine.

He then turned to her and asked, "Isn't a verbal 'thank you' too insincere?"

"Huh? How do you want me to express my gratitude, then?"

Veronica looked confused.
