As she watched the two walk away from her, Veronica felt a strange sense of sadness. She shook her head and murmured, “It’s fine.”
Monica was concerned when she noticed Veronica wasn’t looking well and asked, “Should we go somewhere else for dinner?”
“No.” Veronica forced a smile. Ivana and Ruka, on the other hand, could not stand the situation and continued to criticize Matthew.
Veronica tried several times to explain the situation to them, but she had no idea where to begin, especially to Ruka. She had always been very kind to Veronica but she had a tendency to be reckless.
If she knew the truth, she definitely wouldn’t be able to keep it a secret, so Veronica didn’t dare to tell the truth. At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes one by one.
The group of people sat together and chatted. Veronica spoke very little and drank beer with. her head down. After the meal, they split up. Veronica said, “You guys go ahead. Be careful on the road.”
Ruka wrapped an arm around Veronica’s shoulder, and said, “If you’re not comfortable living in Twilight Condominium, you can move in with me.”
When they were upstairs just now, they asked Veronica where she was living now. Veronica told them that she lived in Twilight Condominium.
“It’s great. I’m used to it now so it’s no problem,” Veronica assured Ruka. At this moment, Ruka’s driver drove over, and Veronica helped Ruka into the car.
The driver then waved to Veronica and drove away with Ruka. Matthew and Eviette happened to be leaving. One Piece Restaurant at the same time. Veronica was standing on the side of the road when she turned around and saw the two.
For a brief moment, she had the impression that Matthew and Eviette were a perfect match as if they were meant to be. She saw them, and they saw her too.
Eviette then approached Veronica with long strides, asking, “Miss Murphy, where are you going? Would you like a ride from Matt and me?”
Matt? When they were upstairs, Veronica overheard Eviette call Matthew by that name. At the time, she thought she was hearing things. However, now that she clearly heard how intimately she had referred to him, her heart ached.
Veronica turned her attention away from Eviette and toward Matthew as he drew near. She shook her head and said, “No, thanks.”
She turned around, hailed a cab, opened the door, and got in, leaving right away. Eviette turned to Matthew and said, “I feel bad for your wife. Is there really no chance for you two to get back together?”
She was trying to test him. Matthew stared at the car that was getting further and further away, mentally leaving with Veronica. He paused for a brief moment before shaking his head and saying, “It’s impossible.”.
He returned his gaze to Eviette and asked, “Where do you live?” Would you like me to drive you somewhere?”
Matthew inquired out of courtesy. Eviette feigned a polite decline. “I’m good. I’ll take the cab.” “Alright. I have to go because I have something to do.” Matthew smiled warmly. “See you tomorrow.”
He finished his sentence, then walked back towards his sedan. Eviette found herself at a loss for words. After all these years, Matthew had remained true to his character.
She assumed that if she politely declined, he would insist on giving her a ride. But, unexpectedly, he just left. It makes sense why Veronica claimed their values were at odds. This man lacked common sense and was out of touch. However, it had no effect on her feelings for him.
Beep!Beep! When Matthew passed her in his sedan, he honked the horn and said, “I’m leaving.” A soft smile spread across Eviette’s face, and she replied, “Goodbye! Be careful on the road.”
“Okay,” Matthew responded, drove into the traffic, and left. To avoid being misunderstood, he had to go to Veronica quickly and give an explanation.
