Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 468

Chapter 468 Each Takes What He Needs

Veronica was reminded of the ‘wild’ things that went down in the cave earlier as she stared at Matthew’s figure. She couldn’t stop herself from blushing, and there was even an odd sense of joy that bubbled within her as she thought about it. Right then, Skyler came over with a bottle of beer. “Here you go. You’ll have to finish three bottles as punishment,” he teased.

“Fine, fine. It’s my fault, anyway.” She took the beer from him and chugged it while thinking… Doesn’t Matthew like Sasha? Why would he get involved with me? Is this what others mean when they say that the grass is always greener on the other side? Even with Sasha committed to him, he still misses the excitement of being with me. Is that why he was so wild and passionate earlier?

I guess this is the only way I can make sense of it. Well, there’s no harm done, I guess. We’re all adults, and it’s not wrong to say that we have to fulfill our bodily desires. Furthermore, I don’t have a boyfriend, so… what I’m doing isn’t wrong, is it? Veronica felt better after comforting herself a little.

“Woah, your alcohol tolerance is impressive, Veronica,” someone commented. “Roni’s tolerance is no joke!” “How impressive. She drank it all without hesitating.” “It really seems like no amount of alcohol can get you drunk, Demoness.”

“Woah, woah. That’s great. You’re so cool, Veronica.”

…

Everyone cheered for Veronica as she finished all three bottles of beer. Then, she took a seat on the ground beside Larry as he handed her a few skewers. “Here. Try some of my cooking.” There were fried fish cakes, squids, and some meat. These were all Veronica’s favorite foods, and she was shocked that Larry remembered her preferences.

She took the skewers from him while smiling. “It’s been years since I tried the skewers that you’ve prepared. I wonder if they still taste the same,” she said before taking a bite of the food. She chewed on it slowly while nodding in awe. “Your career in the entertainment industry is really in the way of your success as a barbeque stall owner! Hahaha…”

“You should eat more if you like it. I’ll prepare more for you later,” Larry offered.

“Sure.” Veronica smiled and paused for a moment before making a statement to strengthen the lie she had told earlier. “Your skewers are so much better than the ones my high school friend made.”

“Of course.” Larry let out a chuckle before handing more food to her. Matthew, who was sitting opposite them, sent a glance in Veronica’s direction every now and then. He looked rather displeased to see how attentive and sweet Larry was to Veronica, but he simply continued munching on his skewers without saying a word.

The few of them sat around and chit-chatted while eating. A while later, they gathered and played some Five Card Draw. Since they were from different family backgrounds, Shirley, Monica, and Abby preferred to play Fighting the Landlord, while Larry, Matthew, Veronica, Caleb, and Stephen preferred playing Five Card Draw. They were all immersed in their games, and their gathering only ended in the evening.

So, before Matthew could say anything, Veronica continued with her words. “I trust you. You wouldn’t do something so vile,” she declared. Then, she ended the call without saying anything else. After that, she paid a visit to Yvonne’s place and chatted with Yvonne while trying her best to avoid the maternity matron in the house. That night, both Yvonne and Veronica paid a visit to the mall that Matthew mentioned, and they handed the child to a stranger they met in the basement.

The other party brought a maternity matron with them as well, and the matron took the child into her arms immediately. Even though Yvonne couldn’t bear to part ways with her child, she felt like she didn’t have a choice as she was too afraid to bring the child home. The maternity matron carried the child into the car of a man who was dressed in a suit. Soon enough, the vehicle sped off down the road.

All Yvonne could do was watch as her child was sent off. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks, and she clasped her hand over her mouth as she let out silent sobs. Veronica hurried over to comfort Yvonne when she saw how devastated Yvonne was. “Don’t worry. This is all temporary, and you’re doing this to protect your child. You’re doing this out of love, right? There are still many things you need to deal with, so you need to stay strong, okay?” After what happened that day, Yvonne had a better understanding…

Veronica had gone through the same thing and managed to walk out of it as a stronger and better person who couldn’t be threatened. “Yeah. I know. I’ll work hard, and I won’t allow anyone to blackmail me into doing something I don’t want to do in the future,” Yvonne replied.

“All the best.” Veronica let out a sigh before continuing. “Matthew said that he’d send you guys videos after the child settles in. So, you’ll be able to hear from the child then.”

“By the way, can you ask him for the amount I have to pay him?” Yvonne was afraid that the child would live a tough life if she didn’t provide any funds. But Veronica simply smiled at this statement. “You’re saving Matthew a lot of trouble by passing him the kid. Do you think money matters more than that?” Matthew was just taking what he needed.
