"I trust you, but that doesn't mean I'm foolish."
Veronica leaned against him. "Firstly, she claimed to be pregnant with your child, which didn't align with the timeline. Secondly, she said you slept with her. Given your capabilities, even if you were drugged, you wouldn't fail to notice. I know your self-control and perceptiveness best. And let's talk about looks, shall we? You rejected the extraordinary beauty like Eleanor, so how could you be interested in someone as ordinary and superficial as her?"
She trusted Matthew. However, the moment the door opened, she felt uncomfortable upon seeing a woman hugging Matthew from behind.
After a moment of calm consideration, everything became clear to her.
"That makes sense."
A contented smile graced Matthew's handsome face as he held her, savoring the blissful moment.
"How's the company been lately? I have a lot of free time now. Is there anything I can do?" Rosa Escarrà, Jayden, and Shawn were managing the company. Veronica could be a hands-off boss, as certain matters did not require her attention.
As for the private detective agency, she had partnered with Sean, and there were others who took care of the agency. Veronica had no role to play there either.
Lately, she found herself idle every day, feeling a bit bored.
"Well, do you want to go watch a movie tonight?" Matthew suggested.
Ada and Alan left with Tony and his wife, so now there were only Skyler and Shirley in the villa, which made the early return quite dull.
With some rare leisure time, Matthew wanted to make up for the regrets between the two.
"What new movies have been released recently?" Veronica did not keep up with cinema information much.
