Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 135
Veronica righteously defended Xavier.
“Who cares what other people say? From what I can see, Xavier is a good kid.” Elizabeth had seen ma ny people in her life, and it only took her one glance to tell that Xavier was different from the rumors.
“Old Mrs. Kings, you‘re giving me too much credit.” Xavier was not used to the flattery.
“That‘s more like it. I just knew Grandma has a good eye for people.” Veronica grinned.
As she said that, Matthew walked in with Tiffany behind them, only to see Veronica intimately hugging Xavier‘s neck as they chatted, seemingly in a good mood. This damn woman. Does she really like Xavier that much? he thought.
Of course, Tiffany witnessed the scene with him as well. She murmured in a melancholic tone, “They h ave such a good relationship. I envy them.”
She had deliberately said this to Matthew, but Tiffany knew that he wouldn‘t want to hear it. Hence, she didn‘t wait for his answer and pretended to be “talking to herself” instead, greeting Elizabeth soon after. “Grandma?”
“Tiffany, you‘re here? Now that everyone is here, let‘s wash our hands and eat before the food gets col d.” Elizabeth‘s gaze moved from Veronica to Tiffany as she greeted them, before she said to Xavier, “Y ou could‘ve just come without bringing anything. Don’t waste your money.”
“Roni bought all of these.” Xavier put the gifts aside as he spoke.
Compared with Elizabeth‘s enthusiasm for Xavier and Veronica, Tiffany clearly felt Elizabeth‘s indifferen ce to her. However, even though she was a little upset, she didn‘t show it.
As they sat at the dining table, Veronica smiled in satisfaction upon seeing the hearty dinner. “Grandma , if you prepare so many delicious things, I might gain five pounds after this meal.”
With just a sentence, she made the crowd burst into laughter.
A kind smile appeared on Elizabeth‘s face as she said, “Eat more if you like it. Look at
how skinny you‘ve become. You should put on more weight.” After she finished speaking, she glanced at Tiffany again and noticed that she looked unhappy. Seeing that, she immediately added, “Tiffany, you should eat more too.”
“Yes. Thank you, Grandma.” Upon finally being “cared for” by Elizabeth, Tiffany felt. better in an instant. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Come, come, let‘s eat before it gets cold.” As the eldest, Elizabeth picked up her fork and began to eat . According to the rules, the juniors were not allowed to eat before the elderly.
Seeing that Elizabeth had started her meal, Veronica picked up her fork and went for the braised pork s he had been eyeing for a long time, intending to feast herself. However, as usual, something unpleasan t always had to occur.
“Blargh…”
Before they could begin eating, they saw Tiffany reach out and cover her mouth in a bout of nausea.
“What… What‘s wrong with you?” Elizabeth furrowed her eyebrows, a little displeased.
“Grandma, I‘m sorry. … I‘m pregnant. I can‘t… I can‘t stand the smell of meat. Blargh…” She retched a gain, then got up and went directly to the bathroom.
Elizabeth was taken aback for a few seconds before she looked at Matthew in bewilderment. “What is s he talking about? Is she pregnant?”
Matthews expression was glum as he answered, “Uh– huh.” Saying that, he involuntarily cast a glance at Veronica, only to see that she was indifferently eatin g with her head lowered.
“What kind of blockheaded answer is that? You should go and check on her.” Though Elizabeth reprimanded Matthew, she couldn‘t hold hers elf back anymore and got up and walked to the bathroom, muttering as she went, “Oh, she‘s finally pre gnant. Haha!”
Elizabeth, who had been yearning to hold her great– grandson in her arms, laughed heartily as she walked to the door of the bathroom. When she saw Matt hew standing outside without any intention of going in to check on Tiffany, she slapped him on the back and chided, “What are you doing here? You didn‘t tell me something as important as Tiffany getting pre gnant. Pregnancy is the most unpleasant time for her. Hurry up and go have a look!”
Although Elizabeth didn‘t like Tiffany that much, she had been forcing herself to accept Tiffany‘s existen ce ever since Matthew got engaged to her until Tiffany gradually became more pleasing to her eyes.
“I am not a family doctor,” Matthew put his hands in his pockets and replied indifferently
As the child belonged to him, he had to marry Tiffany and care for her and the child out of a responsibili ty. However, every time he got close to her and looked at her face that was almost identical to Veronica‘ s, he felt revulsed.
The two looked similar, but their voices, demeanors, the place of their eyebrows, and the length of their hair were all different. Even their scent was far from each other. While Tiffany always smelled heavily o f branded perfume, Veronica exuded a faint fragrance that was fresh and natural instead of an overpow ering stench that was mixed with various scents.
Taking out his phone, Matthew called the family doctor. “Come to the living room in the courtyard.”
“Oh, you‘re hopeless!” Elizabeth was well aware of Matthew‘s temperament. She knew very well that h e was an insensitive, aloof man, and that he was not well–versed in romance.
However, she wasn‘t in a place to say anything, so she walked into the bathroom and patted Tiffany, wh o was vomiting on the toilet, on the back: “How long have you been pregnant? Why is your morning sic kness so severe?”
Tiffany, who was “retching,” shook her head. After dry heaving for a long time without vomiting anything , she flushed the toilet and took a paper towel to wipe her mouth. Her small face hung down as she replied, “It‘s been more than a month. I didn‘t expect my reaction to be so huge when I saw the meat.”
Sure enough, Elizabeth really didn‘t know that she was pregnant. It seemed that she was right to deliber
“Everyone reacts differently. Some may only have mild symptoms of morning sickness, while some may as she chided affectionately, “You silly girl, why didn‘t you tell me you were pregnant?”
Holding Tiffany‘s hand, they made their way back to the dining hall where she dragged Tiffany to sit next seat also happened to be where Matthew had
been sitting earlier.
“Grandma, I didn‘t mean to keep it from you.” Tiffany lowered her head shyly, biting her red lips.
Veronica and Xavier sat quietly by the side. Because Elizabeth had stopped eating, they naturally could
“I know. It‘s not your fault. I blame that brat Matthew instead.” Elizabeth smiled from ear to ear, not lettin
It wasn‘t until Matthew walked to Tiffany‘s side and sat down that Elizabeth said to him, “Since Tiffany is
The Kings Family had a huge business and a high status, so their every action would be greatly judged was the obvious and natural choice.
As soon as Elizabeth spoke, Matthew only picked up the red wine in front of him and took a sip, glancing
