Her Billionaire Husband
Chapter 89

Chapter 89

“Grandma, I know that the prawns are delicious, but you should have some vegetables to have a balance of nutrition. It‘ll be better for your health” Tiffany rose to grab some vegetables for Elizabeth‘s plate and took some for Veronica as well. “Veronica, you should eat some too.”

Tiffany had never thought that she would one day have to please Veronica too. Even though she was forced to do so since Matthew and Elizabeth were present, she still felt that her actions were demeaning.

“I‘m sorry, but I prefer to eat meat since I don‘t like vegetables.” While wearing her gloves, Veronica took the vegetables on her plate and thought about it before dumping them into Matthew‘s bowl. “It would be a shame if I were to throw away your fiancee‘s vegetables. You should have it.”

She was deliberately annoying Matthew.

However, the man glanced at her with his cold eyes as his handsome face darkened a little. He then lowered his eyes to have a look at the vegetables in his bowl without saying a word.

As for Tiffany, she continued to stab the rice in her bowl while feeling that Veronica was being ungrateful, but since it wasn‘t wise for her to be exasperated in front of Elizabeth, she smiled in response. “Meat is quite tasty too.”

During the dinner, Veronica and Elizabeth chatted happily whereas Matthew and

Tiffany were seated across from them and remained quiet, as if there was an invisible line between them.

The vegetables in his bowl were still left untouched even after the dinner had ended.

After the meal, Tiffany stood up to retrieve the utensils. “Grandma, since I don‘t know how to cook, why don‘t I help to wash the dishes?”

She had never washed the dishes when she was previously at the Larson Residence.

However, to please Elizabeth, she had to do her best–even if it meant dirtying her delicate hands.

Listening to her, Elizabeth nodded. “Okay, that‘s alright.”

Therefore, Tiffany and the servants gathered all the dishes together before heading

to the kitchen to wash the utensils.

In the meantime, Veronica felt that Tiffany had really gone out of her way this time. but didn‘t bother to pay much attention to her.

“Grandma, are you full? Why don‘t we have a walk in the yard?”

“Yes, I have the same idea too.” Elizabeth stood up and winked at Matthew, telling him to come. Even though he felt a little resigned, he rose to his feet and followed them.

While they walked in the yard, Veronica held Elizabeth‘s hand and pointed to the west where the sunset was. “The evening sun is so beautiful. Grandma, look at that.”

Elizabeth stopped moving and stood to watch the sunset as she couldn‘t help but feel emotional. “You‘re right. The sunset is gorgeous.”

Suddenly, she remembered her time with Tony, who loved to take her to watch the sunrise and sunset in which all were happy memories.

Sadly, after he passed away, she was left to support everything on her own, so she lost the mood to enjoy both the sunset and sunrise.

As Elizabeth fell into a deep thought, Veronica noticed the older woman‘s expression and furrowed her brows in confusion. After glancing at Matthew, she said, “Grandma, if you like to watch the sunset, I can bring you to the Woodland Mountain or a beach in the future. We can enjoy the view together. What do you think?”

“That‘s great. Sigh...” Elizabeth nodded while breathing a long sigh of regret. While walking forward with Veronica, she emotionally uttered, “When my husband was still with me, he always loved to watch the sunset and sunrise with me. Now that he‘s gone for more than a decade, I‘ve no longer been to those places again.”

“It‘s alright, Grandma. I‘ll keep you company from now on,” Veronica cajoled with a sweet smile while she patted her chest.

“Haha, alright. I‘ll wait for you then.”

She vigorously nodded her head. “No problem.”

While they held hands, the two of them walked ahead in a casual manner.

Meanwhile, Matthew‘s eyes darkened when he heard their laughter in front of him. The moment he saw a long–lost smile on Elizabeth‘s face, he suddenly felt delighted.

He didn‘t know how long it had been since he last felt this kind of warmth and harmony before, never mind Elizabeth.

When his eyes momentarily landed on Veronica‘s back, Matthew suddenly felt that she was like a bright light shining on his black–and–white world while peppering everything with color and light. This feeling... is quite nice.

“Grandma, I may not come to visit you for a while,” Veronica said to Elizabeth while walking “I‘m going to Almeida to do some charity work. It‘ll take about half a month.”

“Almeida?” Elizabeth suddenly paused and looked at her. “Almeida is so far away from Bloomstead and I heard that they have terrible living conditions there. Can a girl like you handle it?”

Veronica smiled as she held Elizabeth‘s shoulders and answered lovingly, “Grandma, you‘ve underestimated me. I was raised in the countryside, so of course I‘ll be fine.”

“Good girl. I‘ll support you since doing charity work is something good, but you need to be careful there,” Elizabeth reminded her continuously.

“Don‘t worry, Grandma. I‘ll be fine.”

After that, they continued walking around the garden.

Meanwhile, Tiffany came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. She initially wanted to show off in front of Elizabeth, but the moment she came out, she realized that the living room was completely empty.

After quickly asking, Tiffany was informed that the three of them went on a walk in the backyard garden.

Her delicate face instantly darkened as she felt both angry and aggrieved, but was unable to express her rage at that moment.

In the end, she could only leave the living room for the garden and chat with Elizabeth while having a walk.

Then, the three of them finally left.

Since Veronica had taken a cab over, Elizabeth allowed her to take Matthew‘s car home, to which she gladly accepted the offer.

Matthew first sent Tiffany seated in the passenger seat back home.

After getting out of the car, she waved her hand at him. “Thank you, Matthew.” Then, she looked at Veronica in the back seat. “Veronica, where do you live?”

Now that she was out of the car, Veronica and Matthew were the only two left alone in the vehicle. Will she seduce him while I‘m gone?

Tiffany wasn‘t sure at all.

However, after hearing Tiffany‘s question, Veronica ignored her as if she didn‘t hear those words at all,

Then, Matthew told Tiffany, “You should go back now and rest early.”

“Alright, Matthew. Then… This is goodbye.” She reluctantly waved her hand while glaring at Veronica in the back seat with jealousy, but she couldn‘t say anything about

After humming in response, the man started the car engine and left.

Half an hour later, they returned to the Twilight Condominium. After casually removing her shoes, a barefoot Veronica walked over to the couch and lay down without moving a muscle afterward.

She only slept for three hours a day in the past two days, so she was on the brink of collapsing. After lying on the couch for a short while, she fell asleep.

Seeing her lying on the couch, Matthew didn‘t say anything as he returned to his room to take a shower. When he came out of his bathroom, he heard his phone ringing

He picked up his phone and saw Elizabeth‘s number vibrating on the screen, after which he answered the call. “Grandma.”

“Matthew, I have something for you to do…”

After listening to her orders on the other end of the call, Matthew furrowed his brows deeply and had no choice but to nod his head in agreement.

When he hung up the phone and came out of his bedroom, he was surprised to see Veronica asleep on the couch.
