Veronica was stunned and speechless. She never expected Matthew to have such an outrageous idea. “You want to divorce me just to fulfill my wish?”
“Don’t be angry. It’s not a real divorce, just a formality. Matthew sighed, his sensuous lips curling slightly. “If we don’t make it public, how can you enter the film industry? Whatever you want to do, I will wholeheartedly support you. It’s just that we’ll be in a fake divorce situation for now. You might face some difficulties when entering the industry, so please don’t aggrieve yourself.”
“You…you… Veronica raised her hand and. pointed to him. She stuttered for a while and did not know what to say. “Next time, can you tell me first before doing anything?”
“If I told you, you would definitely refuse,” Matthew reasoned. He made a valid point. If he really discussed it with Veronica, she would undoubtedly reject it. Still, Veronica feared that the explosive news would cause her foster parents to worry.
A faint smile appeared on the man’s face. “I had called and explained the situation to them last night. They are very supportive.” “What? So all of you knew this, and I, as the person involved, am the last to find out?” Veronica was angry and helpless. She glared at him. “Matthew, you’ve gone too far!”
Taking matters into his own hands regarding her marriage was despicable. “Are you angry?” the man lowered his head and approached her. “If you’re angry…” He took her hand. “Come on, hit me to vent your anger.”
“Forget it. I can’t be bothered with you anymore.” Veronica snorted and was about to leave. How could she beat Matthew? He was the one that considered everything for her wholeheartedly. It would only show her immaturity if she continued to be angry with him over this matter.
But deep inside, she could not help but feel a sourness. Matthew was too good to her, so good that she felt unworthy.
Little did Veronica know that Matthew pulled her into his arms as soon as she turned around. In the blink of an eye, she found herself being. hugged by Matthew. “It’s already late fall, and you’re still walking barefoot. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”
Matthew held her as they walked outside but continued to tease her. “You still don’t know how to take care of yourself, I have no ideas how you’ve grown up this far.”
Veronica wrapped her hands around his neck, feeling cherished. It was like she was immersed in a honey jar, surrounded by a lovely atmosphere that nearly made her dizzy.
Feeling frustrated and helpless, she said, “It was all because of your actions. When I woke up, Eleanor called me and said we divorced, asking if she had a chance with you.”
“So, are you feeling insecure?” Matthew carried her into the bedroom, gently placing her on the bed and sitting beside her. “Is it because you’ve realized you can’t live without me?” he asked.
“Tsk, narcissist,” Veronica replied, amused by his teasing. Then, she thought of something else. “If we’re getting divorced and people ask me about it, what should I say?”
Since they had announced the divorce publicly, Veronica could not ‘change her mind’ anymore, or she would face criticism from outsiders. But even so, there would be online keyboard warriors relentlessly insulting her.
Anyway, since they were ‘getting divorced, it might not be a bad idea to follow Matthew’s suggestion and enter the entertainment industry. They could even establish a film and television company if the opportunity arose since it was pretty profitable.
“I’ve talked to Drew, Caleb, and Miguel. You can rest assured,” Matthew truthfully replied. After speaking with Veronica’s foster father, Tony, over the phone last night, he had a video call with his buddies and explained the situation.
