Chapter 430 The Lovey-dovey Couple
Veronica suddenly pitied Sasha, who was actually a softie under her sexy appearance. It would be overboard to leave her alone by the streets. “Matt, why don’t we… let her come with us?”
It was the end of April; although it was hot in the afternoon, the night breeze was chilly due to the huge difference in temperature. Leaving Sasha at the underground parking lot in thin clothes would be too cruel.
“Aren’t you afraid of letting a fox into the house?” Matthew questioned nonchalantly.
She shook her head in response as her sense of security came from him. Why should she be concerned when he was being honest to her?
“Sasha, come. Let’s head inside.” She beckoned at Sasha.
“Sure.” Sasha smiled and walked to her. “I never knew that you’re this understanding. Others would have already gotten into a fight because of me.”
She then averted her gaze onto Matthew. “So… Matt, am I not charming enough to you?”
“Well, at least you know.” He gave her a perfunctory response without even sparing a glance at her.
The three of them entered the elevator with Matthew’s hand around Veronica’s shoulder. His hand caressed her cheek and twirled her hair at times while his gaze on her was rife with gentleness. Meanwhile, Sasha, who was standing at the corner while clutching her bag, had mixed feelings upon seeing the affection.
Ding!
The elevator stopped at the top level before its door opened. The couple exited first before Sasha did.
After unlocking the door with a card, a caring Veronica took out a pair of new flip-flops. “Sasha, put these on. It must be tiring to wear those heels.”
“Thanks,” said Sasha before wearing them. When Veronica changed her shoes and turned toward the living room, Matthew suddenly pulled her hand.
“What’s the matter?” Her brows furrowed in confusion.
“What about me?”
“Huh?” She was baffled until he pointed at the flip-flops worn by Sasha. It was not until then did she realize that she had never taken care of him like she did for Sasha during their stay together.
Bending over, she took out his flip-flops from the cupboard and placed them in front of him. With her hands on her belly, she bowed at ninety degrees to him. “Young Master Matthew, please change your shoes.”
“Call me ‘honey’.” The man was satisfied with her acting as he smiled, which indicated his good mood.
Veronica pursed her lips to hold in her laughter before giving another bow. “Honey, it’s been a long day. Please put on the flip-flops.”
Now that she knew how much he enjoyed her ministry, she was equally delighted.
“What the f*ck?” Sasha revealed her true self as she cursed. “Please have mercy on me. I’m standing right here, you two. I’m so hurt. Stop being all lovey-dovey. You might break up sooner than you think.”
Despite the tease, her stomach was churning on the inside.
Matthew took off his shoes to wear the flip-flops. Placing the leather shoes on the cupboard, he suggested, “You can leave if you can’t stand it. No one’s stopping you.”
“No can do.” She seated herself on the couch and hugged a pillow before speaking to Veronica, “I’ve called Skyler and the gang before coming. They will be here after buying sushi, so we can have dinner together.”
“Awesome! I’m hungry.” Veronica gladly accepted the idea since she loved sushi.
She then pinched Matthew’s on the arm and whispered, “She’s a girl. Don’t you think that you’re being too harsh on her?”
“She wouldn’t be able to go through the door if it wasn’t for you.”
Words failed her when she heard that. Just how fortunate she was to be able to meet such a handsome, gentle, and rich guy in her life? Most importantly, he did not worry her when it came to relationship problems; there were no flaws she could pinpoint of.
A touched Veronica stared at him. “Matt, has someone told you how great of a person you are?”
Matthew turned sideways to face her and tap her nose. “Yeah, but only one.”
“Who?”
“You.” The smile on his handsome face was smitten by the sweetness of honey. He felt as if he had owned the world.
Sitting nearby them was Sasha, who was suppressing the ire in her while watching their affections. She took a deep breath. F*ck! I can’t stand them anymore!
“Hmm… Hmph… Ah… Ah…” An embarrassing and inconspicuous sound filled the room.
The couple was stunned momentarily after which Matthew called out to Sasha sternly, “Sasha Claude!”
“Huh?” She played dumb as she turned her head toward him with a giggle. “Go ahead. Don’t mind me. I’ll stay here watching some videos.”
She then smiled at Veronica. “Miss Murphy, why don’t we follow each other on Twitter? I’ll send this video to you since I saw how boring you guys’ interactions are. You should watch it when you’re free. It’s the best thing to do with your partner. It’s so boring to just say sweet nothings to each other.”
How could Veronica not know that Sasha was doing it on purpose to anger the both of them? However, Sasha’s action piqued her interest instead of anger.
“I’m going to throw you out of the door if you send her that,” warned Matthew coldly.
“You’re so mean. Why can’t I send her a short clip when you guys keep acting like that in front of me?”
Next, Sasha turned up the volume of her phone. “We’re living in the twenty-first century. We have every right to do whatever we want, don’t we?”
She watched the video as she beckoned Veronica over. “Miss Murphy, come. Wow! This guy’s hot! Matthew’s no match for him.”
Hearing the erotic noise, Veronica’s face flushed red in embarrassment. Just as she was going to turn down the offer, her phone rang. She fished out her phone to realize that it was Hendrey calling.
She kept calling him when he was abroad, but it could not get through. After she texted him about Tiffany’s issue, he finally phoned her, albeit late.
“Sasha, shh…” She placed a finger on her lips, motioning Sasha to keep the noise down. The mischievous woman then closed the video whereas Veronica went to the study and shut the door before answering the phone.
“Hendrey, I… Have you read my message?” Her heart felt heavy at the mention of the subject.
The other party paused momentarily before answering, “What message? I lost my phone after returning to the country. I bought a new SIM card this afternoon.”
“It’s… Tiffany. She’s… She has passed away.” She had not expected him to not know of the matter as of now. “I received the news right after you boarded the plane and I couldn’t contact you afterward.”
