When it came to revenge, Veronica felt her heart skip a beat, and she felt uneasy. “I’m still pretty confused at the moment, but I will tell you once I figure it out,” Veronica replied passively. She wanted to persuade Xavier to let go of the hatred but didn’t know how to approach the subject.
On one hand, there was her husband, and on the other hand, there was Xavier, who carried deep resentment. She couldn’t weigh right from wrong. Xavier frowned and showed a look of disdain. Before he could say anything, however, Veronica beat him to it. “I’m pretty hungry. Let’s go eat.”
She switched the topic and no longer wanted to talk about this matter. Hearing how hungry she was, Xavier could sense his anger subside. “What do you want to eat?”
“Shiro’s sushi.” The weather change definitely called for Shiro’s sushi. Since Veronica suggested it, Xavier couldn’t bear to refuse. He started the car and took her to a nearby sushi restaurant.
Veronica wore a hat and a mask to be fully disguised in order to avoid anyone from recognizing her. They sat in the corner of the sushi restaurant and sat face to face.
“I know about your situation on the set. To be honest, you’re not suitable to be an actress right now.” Xavier poured a cup of hot tea for Veronica and advised her, “Rather than struggling to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry, it’s better to start a production company.”
Veronica rested her chin on her hand that was propped against the table and sighed, “I wanted to be an actress a long time ago, but back then I needed money, so I just wanted to earn money quickly. Now that I don’t urgently need money, I just want to fulfill my dream.”
Dream? What a familiar yet unfamiliar word. Xavier felt a sharp pain in his chest as if a dagger was stabbing him harshly. He used to have dreams too, but all his dreams were destroyed by Matthew.
“I remember how you wanted to be a model too,” he commented. Veronica’s eyes lit up as she stared at Xavier in disbelief. Her lips involuntarily curled up. “Yes, I do.”
“If you like it, then go for it.” Xavier fully supported her. Soon, the waiter served the dishes they ordered on the table one by one. As they talked, more and more dishes were being served, prompting a pleasant aroma to waft in the air.
Veronica sniffed the aroma and heard her stomach growling with hunger. She quickly picked up a piece of salmon. “Let’s dig in. It’s not always that I see you in Bloomstead. When are you leaving?”
She placed the salmon on Xavier’s plate before picking up another piece for herself. Then, she dipped it in some wasabi and placed it in her mouth.
“I probably won’t leave in a while,” he answered. The two of them dined in the corner, thinking they could avoid everyone, but in the end, they couldn’t avoid the paparazzi who stalked them.
The paparazzi quietly took a video of the two of them enjoying their meal together with his phone. An hour or two later, Veronica left Shiro’s sushi and returned to the hotel.
When she said goodbye to Xavier and entered the hotel with the key, she felt someone grabbing her wrist and pulling her into their arms.
“Roni.” Matthew called her name and hugged her, saying, “I’m sorry for making you upset.” He regretted it. He regretted his impulsive decision and wanted to tell Veronica the truth!
