In that instant, Veronica’s brows furrowed together in a tight knot, and she pursed her lips shut. Her hands, which were holding Matthew, dug deep into his arms until there was blood, and only then was she able to forcibly conceal it.
“Cough, cough...” Embarrassed and furious, she glared at Matthew and used coughing as a means to hide what was happening before saying, “I received a delivery order, and I’m on my way now. I’ll call you back later.” Immediately, she hung up and slapped Matthew. “You’re such a shameless jerk!”
His behavior was so outrageous that it appalled her.
“What? Are you feeling sorry for your beloved because you’re worried he’ll find out about this and feel sad?”
Even though she was disgruntled, a plan hatched in her mind. Suppressing her disgust for him, she clasped his waist and said in an unsatisfied tone, “Is this all you’ve got? Did you not eat, Young Master
Matthew?” Forcing out a smile, she added, “This is really far off compared to Xavier. So, rumor amongst the people in Bloomstead has it that you are not interested in women, but it seems to me that you... might have erectile dysfunction.”
The sudden change in her attitude gave him a huge satisfaction psychologically, but he didn’t lose his mind because he knew that she was trying to provoke him on purpose.
“Keep away your useless little tricks. The doctor mentioned that the fetus is growing steadily, and I’ll protect my own child!”
The second he finished speaking, the smile disappeared from Veronica’s face. Yes, she deliberately tried to provoke him earlier in hopes that he would forget everything in his agitation and cause a miscarriage, then she wouldn’t have to give birth to his child. But unfortunately, he had seen through her trick.
Contented, the man got up and left her in a sorry state alone in the lounge. Just like the last time, before he left, he said, “Someone will bring you clothes later.”
Just like that, he left, leaving her in the lounge as though he was throwing away a piece of garbage.
Lying on the bed, she was shattered by despair, but she was strong. How could the same thing hurt her as it did the first time? However, she regretted it a little. She only made herself seem uglier through the use of makeup, so that jerk never kissed her every time he made love to her, and he didn’t even want to look at her face.
If I had known about this before, I would have made ugly the skin on my entire body! she thought.
Later, someone dropped off some clothes for her, and after changing, she threw the ripped clothes into the bin and went downstairs in a huff before leaving the scene on her motorcycle.
Unbeknownst to her, Xavier was seated in a car not far away. Knowing that she didn’t leave the scene, he drove a car she had never seen before and stopped it close to her motorbike.
When he saw that she was leaving dressed differently as when she arrived, he was a
little confused. Why did she lie? he wondered.
And all of his questions would have an answer four hours later, when the engagement party of the Kings Family ended.
From the surveillance video of the Hilton Hotel he instructed someone to replay, he clearly saw Matthew dragging Veronica into a lounge on the third floor, and he only left after more than half an hour.
Xavier didn’t continue watching the surveillance after that because he already knew all that happened when he connected it to the soft moaning he heard from Veronica when he called her.
Meanwhile, after Veronica left the Hilton Hotel, she went directly to the hospital for an abortion. Unfortunately, the scheming Matthew had already sent someone to follow her, and when they saw her walking into the hospital, she was forcibly taken into the car by some bodyguards and sent back to her rented room.
