Veronica eventually couldn't help but speak. "Eviette just called you, and I answered."
Matthew, holding a towel, paused, "What's the matter?"
"She said she has a stomachache."
"If she has a stomachache, she should go to a doctor." Matthew knew that Eviette had lingering health issues from the past, but he was not a doctor and couldn't help her.
His response seemed to improve Veronica's mood slightly, and the irritation in her heart also subsided a bit. "She called you because of her stomach ache..."
"I want to talk to you..."
Both of them started speaking at the same time and then abruptly stopped.
Matthew sat on the edge of the bed, still drying his hair. "You wanted to talk to me about Eviette, didn't you? Feel free to ask any questions. I won't hide anything." Since he wanted to have an open and honest conversation with Veronica, he naturally didn't plan to hide anything from her.
Veronica, wrapped in a quilt, poked her head out and looked at him. "Didn't we agree to talk about it tomorrow?"
Matthew threw the towel on the table, reached out, and pinched her rosy cheek. "If we don't talk today, I'm worried that you will have trouble sleeping."
When he came out of the bathroom, he thought she was asleep, but it turned out she was sulking.
Veronica didn't like to hide things from the person she loved, so she asked directly, "What exactly is your relationship with Eviette, and why do you trust her unconditionally..."
Just as she finished asking her question, the phone on the table started vibrating again. Both of them looked at the table simultaneously. Matthew picked up the phone, saw the unfamiliar number on the screen, and hung up directly.
After putting down the phone, he frowned, pondered for a few seconds, and then said seriously, "Roni, my relationship with Eviette is..."
Coincidentally, the phone started vibrating non-stop again.
