CHAPTER 99

Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 99

Melissa was excited beyond belief by what she had heard and had no words to describe her feelings.

“Oh, wow. Matthew, look at the shooting star. Quickly wish for something. I‘ve heard that wishes made under a shooting star often come true.”

When she saw the shooting star across the picturesque night sky, she jumped with glee as she placed her hands together. As she tilted her head upward, she started to wish with closed eyes. Shooting star, please make it so that I‘ll be Matthew‘s wife in the future!

Standing by her side, Matthew suddenly thought that Melissa resembled Veronica‘s brash yet innocent and naive personality. The woman wasn‘t as annoying as he thought he would be.

“Why hasn‘t she come out yet?”

After standing there for a while, Matthew began to question Veronica‘s whereabouts as he looked arou nd.

“What? Oh, about that… Please wait here, I‘ll go and call her.”

Being able to spend a bit of time with Matthew had already left Melissa feeling like she was lucky. Besid es being elated, she was extremely nervous to the point where she did not know what else to say.

So, she turned around and fled the scene.

As she jogged to her room, she opened the door to the sight of Veronica counting the money with a serious ex

pression.

“Oh my God, Veronica, you‘re the best.”

When Melissa hugged Veronica, she had pushed the person onto the bed and happily gave her a peck. “Veronica, you‘re so smart. I‘m elated right now. Here…”

She happily took out another wad of cash and pushed it into Veronica‘s hands. “This is for you. Just tre at it as the bonus for our first successful cooperation.”

“Yikes, this is kind of disgusting. There‘s saliva… Hahaha, really?”

After pushing Melissa aside, the disgusted Veronica wiped the saliva on her cheek with her sleeves as she saw the wad of cash being thrusted into her hands.

Stopping for a moment, she then grinned from ear to ear. “Melissa, you‘re a good friend. Just like your brother, you both are so likable.”

No wonder they were siblings since they were both so likable.

This was especially so when it came to Melissa‘s willingness to simply give out money, which made Ver onica extremely ecstatic.

“Of course, if my bro likes you, I‘ll naturally like you too. Now that you also like me, we‘ll be good friend s from now on!”

Melissa was still immersed in the blissful situation as she happily sat on the bed.

After a while, she finally remembered Matthew‘s words and said to Veronica, “You should quickly head out. Matthew‘s waiting for you. He’ll know something‘s up if we wait any longer.”

“Oh, right.”

When she realized that fact, Veronica immediately kept the forty thousand in her bag.

Before leaving, she did not forget to remind Melissa, “Only me, you and God knows where the money i s. So, if it‘s gone by the time I‘m back, I‘ll have you reimburse me.”

If these words were said by another person, Melissa would have been absolutely livid.

However, because she was in a good mood, she simply replied, “Don‘t worry, I‘ll look after it for you. If it really goes missing, I‘ll pay you again.”

“Tsk, this is why I like you.” Property © of .

Winking at her, Veronica then ran outside to the courtyard.

Although everything was pitch black in the courtyard, Veronica still managed to recognize Matthew standing under a tree at once.

If she did not know beforehand that it was a person, it would have been a bit scary considering the fact that they were on a mountain at the dead of the night.

Hopping over, she asked, “Why are you still here?”

“I was waiting for you.”

Hearing Veronica‘s voice made Matthew turn his head around to answer her.

Reflecting on her reminder to Melissa not to let anything slip, she also needed to do the same; otherwis e, she would be burning her own bridge.

“Didn‘t you say that you have something to talk about just now?”

Putting his hands in the pocket of his pants, Matthew stared at her through the darkness.

Veronica rubbed her head as she thought of the best method to answer his question. “I just wanted to…”

Raising her head, she saw the bright and round moon, so she continued, “I just wanted to look at the m oon. Yeah, let‘s look at the moon together.”

Looking at the moon, pfft.

Back when she was growing up in the village, the thing that she did the most was gaze with her foster parents at the moon and stars.

While raising his head, Matthew looked at the bright moon. “Yeah, the moon tonight does look extra rou nd.”

“See, I‘m right, aren‘t I?”

After mirroring his action, Veronica also raised her gaze and looked at the moon.

In the end, she knew that this would be another sleepless night for her, so she said to him, “Why don‘t y ou bring some chairs over? Aren‘t you tired of looking at the moon while standing?”

As the ground of the village was all full of mud, they had no place to sit.

“Sure.”

After hesitating for a while, the man went back to bring some chairs over.

Looking at his back, Veronica felt a bit perplexed as she thought, What is happening? He‘s acting a bit weird today. Why is he so obedien t all of a sudden?

She stood at the entrance in boredom while listening to the croaking frogs. After a

shori while, Matthew reappeared with two additional chairs in his hands.

Sitting together side by side, they looked at the moon while enjoying the silence of the night.

To them, tonight would be a long night.

Since they were in a village, there were bound to be mosquitoes. That was why the village chief had pl anted plants that repelled mosquitoes at the village entrance to lessen the insects‘ overall presence the re.

The two of them just sat there in the silence.

Veronica was still over the moon about Melissa giving her forty thousand in cash.

Seeing Veronica not saying anything, Matthew then asked, “Why are you quiet?”

“Yeah?” A confused Veronica replied, “What did you say?” :

“What exactly happened between you and Tiffany?” ;

He finally asked the question that he had been dying to know.

“Nothing much.”

She did not want to and did not know how to answer him.

After all, the things that happened with Tiffany were not something that could be easily explained.

The feud between her and the Larsons was a fact that Veronica would not even mention to Matthew.

It was because in her eyes, he and Tiffany were in cahoots.

Being an outsider herself, she knew how to maintain her guard around him at all times.

“I just don‘t like her,” Veronica replied nonsensically.

“That‘s all?”

“That‘s all.”

“That was not what you said when we were stranded on the mountain at that time,” Matthew retorted.

Thinking back, Veronica remembered saying that Tiffany had sworn to kill her.

Now that she thought about it, she must have been out of her mind to have said that in front of him witho so stupid!

Veronica had magnified the tiny bit of kindness that Matthew showed her to infinity and even went as far

“Yeah, I was worried about that. Didn‘t I tell you before that the Larsons were after my bone marrow to tr might kill me over it. If that happens, what can I do then?”

She was speaking out of her a*s with a straight face.

Matthew, who was as intelligent as he looked, knew instantly that Veronica was lying. Yet, he did not cho

The two of them fell silent again.

After sighing, Veronica said, “I wonder what Mom and Dad are doing now. I kinda miss them now.”
