Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 86

As Xavier leaned back against the executive chair, he stared at her with an unfathomable gaze. “You c an arrange it that way too since I‘ve been quite busy lately. However, don‘t worry about your parents. L eave them to me; I‘ll ensure their safety.”

The charity event this time was organized by the local government of Bloomstead, so all the major companies had to send representatives to the event.

This time, Xavier‘s father, Hendric, would be joining the event as well.

As Hendric had always disliked Veronica, Xavier intentionally sent her to Almeida to allow Hendric to ge t to know her better.

Xavier‘s intention was to let Hendric know that Veronica was not a simple, naïve girl, as he really wante d Hendric to accept her. Hence, Xavier had been cracking his head over this issue.

Xavier was fully aware that if he were to tell Hendric that he would be going to Almeida together with Veronica, his father would only think that they were merely putting on a show.

“Okay, I believe you. How long do I need to be there, though? When am I departing?”

“You will be departing on the day after tomorrow, but you will be there for two weeks this time.”

As Xavier spoke, he stared unblinkingly at her and added, “I can find someone else if you don‘t want to go.”

Two weeks would be sufficient for Hendric to take a proper measure of Veronica‘s personality

Based on Xavier‘s understanding about Hendric, the latter would definitely keep an eye on Veronica if h e knew that she would show up.

After observing her for two weeks, Hendric would certainly accept Veronica due to her kind and hardwo rking character.

When the time came, Xavier would confess his feelings to her when she returned.

“I can do it. No worries.” Veronica agreed without hesitation because Xavier had helped her on many occasions, so she wished to at least return his favor by giving

him a hand in the charity event this time, not to mention the fact that she loved charity events.

After the discussion, Veronica returned to the secretary department to continue with her work.

After work, the two of them had dinner together yet again. In the end, Xavier offered to send Veronica h ome after dinner, but she rejected his offer as she was afraid that he would find out that she was curren tly staying with Matthew. “I‘ll take the bicycle home. I want to work out a bit to lose weight.”

As she insisted on it, he didn‘t press on, and the two of them went separate ways.

It was 8.30 PM when Veronica returned to the Twilight Condominium. There was nobody in the apartm ent and it was pitch black. – Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Feeling exhausted, she plopped herself on the couch, feeling a little drowsy. However, she couldn‘t fall asleep.

And so, she went to the study. Matthew wasn‘t inside either, so she played computer games in the roo m.

It was 11 PM when Matthew finally returned.

He entered the study and saw Veronica playing computer games as she sat there. Then, he heard her mumbling, “What‘s so impressive to win ten times in a row in the Grand T ournament?”

At that exact moment, Veronica happened to finish a game. She removed her headphones and saw Ma tthew standing at the door of the study.

His sudden appearance startled her.

“Matthew, you gave me a fright! Why do you walk so quietly?” She patted her chest to calm her racing heart. “You nearly made me jump out of my skin!”

“You won‘t be afraid if you didn‘t do anything wrong.” The man undid the buttons of his blue suit with his sculptured fingers. Taking it off, he hung it on the rack. “How‘s your job hunting going?” he asked, glancing at her.

“Uh... I‘m still searching,” she replied, avoiding his gaze. She immediately logged out from the game an d rose up. “Are you going to work now? I shouldn‘t disturb you. Goodbye.”

Veronica quickly left the study to avoid conversing any more with Matthew and returned to the living roo m. As she lay on the couch, feeling wide awake, she played with her phone and watched a drama.

At 2.00 AM, Matthew exited the study, only to find an energetic Veronica watching a drama. “Why are y ou not in bed?” he asked.

“I couldn‘t sleep,” she replied, shaking her head with a pillow in her arms while lying on the couch.

The man slightly frowned. “Did you sleep during the day?”

“No.” At that, she sighed. “Maybe I’m just used to sleeping in my own bed. I can‘t sleep when I change beds.”

Matthew didn‘t comment on that. Instead, he said, “Rest early.” With that, he returned to his own room and shut the door.

When Veronica heard the sound of the door being closed, she darted a glance at his door. “This man… ” The way he had treated her felt cold, as though he was mad at her. Coupled with his dark expression, the whole fiasco puzzled her.

Without giving it much thought, Veronica continued watching the variety show and intermittently chuckli ng at the funny moments.

In the bedroom, Matthew felt his gaze deepen when he heard Veronica‘s laughter from the living room.

Even when it was 4.00 AM, he could still hear her loudly cackling and mumbling something

Thirty minutes later, everything fell silent.

Matthew exited his bedroom, only to find Veronica sleeping on the couch. She was sound asleep with a pillow in her arms.

The man stood before her with his brows slightly furrowed. Then, he bent over to carry her up and took her to her room. He laid her on the bed, and she turned to her side and continued sleeping.

Currently, she was wearing blue halter pajamas over her undergarments. When she lifted her leg and placed it on top of her blanket, she revealed her fair and smooth skin, vaguely exposing her undergarments as well .

Mathew‘s expression was still cold when he took another thin blanket to cover her before he left

Veronica slept throughout the night until she woke up naturally the next morning. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was in her room.

After her morning routine, she exited the room, only to find a few paper bags in the living room.

She walked up to the bags and cast a glance at them out of curiosity. Looking at Matthew, who was sittin

“Pajamas.”

“We have them, no?” As Veronica spoke, she took out the new pajamas from the bag. The pajamas wer sleeved shirts and short pants. Truth was, they were relatively modest clothing.

“Oh–these are nice. I thought about buying some. Since there are some new ones here, I don‘t have to buy them now.”

In fact, Veronica had thought about purchasing some new pajamas. After all, halter pajamas were a little

And so, Veronica put down the pajamas. She then walked up to him and smiled. “Thank you, bro.”

This woman and her glib tongue, Matthew grumbled to himself. She would address him as ‘bro‘ when sh would call his name directly.

Yet, Matthew seemed to have gotten used to it.

However, the next instant, the man shoved a receipt at her. “Remember to pay me back.”

Veronica‘s expression abruptly fell. “Matthew, you are my godbrother. Why are you collecting money from

“You may consider paying me back with yourself,” he said, scooping up a spoonful of oammeal and putt

Veronica held the receipt and glanced at the two sets of pajamas that cost more than 300. The clothes were probably the cheapest clothes that Matthew had ever bought.

As the price was still acceptable, she agreed. “Okay, it‘s just 300 plus. I can still afford to pay for these.”
