Chapter 137
Seeing him walking in, Yvonne, being the shrewd woman she was, greeted him. “Young Master Matthe
w, you‘re back?”
“Yeah.‘ Matthew was as indifferent as ever. He said little as if ignoring her.
“Veronica, you can keep watching. I‘ll go to bed first.”
She headed back to the bedroom to avoid disturbing Veronica and Matthew‘s time alone.
Matthew unbuttoned his suit with his long fingers and put his coat on the back of the sofa. He took a se
at next to Veronica, asking in a deep voice, “Why did you agree to Grandma?”
Although Matthew didn‘t understand why Elizabeth asked Veronica to plan his and Tiffany‘s wedding, V
eronica could have refused, but she unexpectedly agreed.
Veronica sat cross–
legged with a bag of potato chips in her hand. As she put a piece into her mouth, she glanced at him la
zily and muttered, “Since Grandma has asked, what reason do I have to refuse?”
She shrugged and sighed. “If it weren‘t for Grandma‘s liking for me, you wouldn‘t save me from the fire,
nor would you go abroad to save me, and you wouldn‘t
risk your life to save me in the mountains either. No matter what, I‘ll always remember Grandma‘s kindn
ess. Anyway, she just asked me to plan a wedding. Even if I had to donate a kidney to her, I wouldn‘t re
fuse.”
Many said that debts between humans were the most difficult to pay off, and she owed Elizabeth a “sav
ing grace,” so Veronica had no reason to refuse.
Hearing that, Matthew suddenly recalled his past memories as though a movie was playing in his mind.
His sharp eyes gradually dimmed. Did she think that everything I did was because of ‘Grandma‘s order
s‘? That I only risked my life to protect her because Grandma liked her?
“I‘ll look for you at your company during my break tomorrow to discuss
the details of the wedding with you.” Veronica seemed to have moved on
from everything. She was calm and indifferent.
Veronica admitted that she hated the Larson Family, but now
that she couldn‘t avenge herself, she simply forced herself to let go of her hatred. She owed Elizabeth t
oo much, and she wouldn‘t do
anything at the wedding to embarrass Tiffany, for that would only make the Kings Family a laughingstoc
k in Bloomstead. She had a
kind heart, and she knew that she had to repay Elizabeth‘s kindness, so naturally she wouldn‘t do such
a despicable and shameless thing.
“I will leave the matter to Thomas.”
Matthew recalled that when he was engaged to Tiffany, Veronica suddenly appeared and found out abo
ut the truth and that her child would be handed over to Tiffany to raise after birth. In order to prevent tha
t from happening, she took a lot of medicine regardless of the risks, causing herself to miscarry and al
most bleed to death. One could only imagine how much that incident had
impacted Veronica, and Matthew didn‘t want her to suffer again.
“Ha,” Veronica said softly, her cool eyes turning to Matthew. “Are you afraid that I‘ll do something to Tiff
any at the wedding?” As she said that, she shook her head, her face full of irony and contempt. “I‘m nev
er such a despicable person.” –
Saying that, she threw the bag of potato chips
on the table and got up. After putting on her slippers, she headed straight for her bedroom.
Bang!

She slammed the bedroom door loudly, cutting off Matthew‘s gaze from her. He was silent for a momen
t before he got up and went to the study to start working.
Veronica tossed and turned on the bed and couldn‘t sleep, and with the addition of Yvonne, it was even
more difficult to adapt.
It was past midnight, and Yvonne was already asleep. Veronica felt bored from playing on her phone, s
o she got up and went to the living room to watch television. She scrolled through various variety show
s, but nothing piqued her interest.
Though it was past three o‘clock at night, Veronica was still lying on the sofa without a trace of sleepine
ss. In the end, she had no choice but to go to the study. However, she didn‘t expect that when she ope
ned the door, Matthew was still sitting at the desk and processing documents.
Taken aback, Veronica asked in surprise, “It‘s almost four o‘clock. Why are you still
up?”
“Are you worried about me?” Matthew‘s thin
lips raised into a light and gentle smile as if snow had melted off his face.
“Don‘t blow your own trumpet, okay? I just think you‘re hogging the computer and preventing me from p
laying games.”
Playing games was the best way to destress during a sleepless night.
a
Matthew looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer. It was approaching four o‘clock, b
ut she still didn‘t look sleepy at all. Instead, she looked as energetic as ever.
“I‘m done with my work. You can come.” Matthew closed the file and got up. He walked past Veronica a
nd closed the door.
Veronica curled her lips and muttered, “Why is he so easy to talk to today?” Could it be that he knows I‘
m going back to my hometown, so he improved his attitude toward me? She didn‘t think too much abou
t it and sat on the big chair. The
leather chair was airtight, and she could almost feel the residual temperature Matthew had left.
Subsequently, she turned on the computer and logged in to her account to start playing a game.
In the living room, Matthew warmed a glass of hot milk for Veronica and put the medicine prescribed by
the doctor for her into the milk, stirring it until it melted.
Then, he took the glass of milk into the study.
“Get lost! How can I level up if you invade my army? Do you even know how to play this game? Did they
“Here, drink some milk.” Matthew placed the glass down
on the table and glanced at the game Veronica was playing. “You like playing this a lot?”
“It‘s all right. Thanks.” As Veronica had completely devoted herself to the game, she didn‘t have time to
drink the milk at all.
Seeing that the milk was about to get cold, Matthew grew worried
she would notice the strong smell of medicine in it. Hence, he simply picked up the glass of milk and bro
There was a straw in the glass, so Veronica only needed to lower her head to drink the milk, but she
was so startled when a glass of milk suddenly appeared in front of her that she stood up suddenly.
“M–
Matthew, what are you doing?” There must be a reason why he‘s being so courteous. This scumbag ma

Hearing this, Matthew‘s expression darkened. “Do you want to drink it or not?”
“Of course not. What if it‘s poisonous? What if I don‘t live to see the sun tomorrow?” Veronica wanted
to live to see another day.
The corners of Matthew‘s mouth twitched slightly; he was angered by her antics. So I‘m such a despicab
before handing it to her again. “Milk helps you to sleep. Your wound hasn‘t healed, so you need to
rest early, but you‘re still playing games. I guess your wrist doesn‘t hurt at all.”
If other girls got injured, they
would cry in pain, but she only bore her wound and sat in front of the computer to play games frantically
“Oh, I see. Thank you.” Seeing him take a sip, Veronica realized that it shouldn‘t be
poisoned, so she took the milk and drank it in a single gulp.
Then, she smacked her lips, frowning. “Matthew, did you put something in the milk?”
