The Life Of A Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 129
“Matthew, have you gone to sleep?”
Matthew pressed his cell phone against his left ear. When he heard the voice on the other end of the lin e, a flicker of impatience flashed across his eyes. “Not yet.”
“… miss you.” Tiffany‘s voice sounded especially soft like a drizzling rain in spring.
“Rest early. I‘ve got something to deal with over here, so I‘m hanging,”
“Matthew, my parents aren‘t home today, so I‘m a little scared of being alone. C Could you come over a nd keep me company?” Tiffany spoke her mind after hesitating for a long time..
However, Matthew didn‘t choose to keep Tiffany company because of the latter‘s plea. Instead, he repli ed coldly, “I‘ve got something to deal with at the moment. Let‘s talk later,” and hung up right away.
Sitting next to the man, Veronica couldn‘t make out who was talking on the other end of the line, but sh e vaguely figured out from Matthew‘s words that the person was probably Tiffany. Why is he so indifferent to his future wife? Did he have a quarrel with her yesterday or something? Instead of sayi ng anything, she merely kept looking out of the window, watching as the car sped toward the biggest amus ement park in Bloomstead from the downtown area.
Neither Veronica nor Matthew spoke on the way, and the atmosphere in the car was especially grave w ith a hint of oppression.
An hour later, the car arrived at the biggest amusement park in Bloomstead.
After Thomas stopped the car, Matthew and Veronica opened the car door and got out of the car.
Standing at the amusement park‘s entrance, Veronica looked up to see the soaring Ferris wheel in the amusement park, which looked especially beautiful as it spun with its neon lights flashing.
“Let‘s go in.” Matthew watched as Veronica stood in place while looking up at the Ferris wheel. Her expression was especially clear under the light; even the hint of sadness in her eyes was clearly revealed.
Thomas went to take care of the amusement park‘s staff, whereas Matthew and
Veronica entered the park together. All the park‘s attractions were available and waiting for the two to pl ay.
It wasn‘t until they entered the amusement park and saw the fun attractions that Veronica said with a si gh, “My family‘s poor. When I was little, my parents would only take me to the park when I ranked top of my class in the exam. All the park has are some small attractions like bumper cars, children‘s roller– coaster, and carousel. Even so, I still think that things were pretty nice when I was a child.” Now that sh e had grown up, she could own everything she wanted, but she was no longer as happy as she had been during her childhood. Furthermore, she wished she could trav el back in time to her childhood.
Matthew sensed clearly the sadness and disappointment in Veronica‘s words. Turning his head to look at the woman, he said softly, “Which attractions do you want to play? I‘ll play with you.”
Veronica shook her head with a quiet sigh. “You don‘t have to.” Even if she wanted to play, there was no way she would be in the mood to do that.
The two walked inside the large amusement park and watched the lights flash dazzlingly on the attractions. The music was ringing in their ears, and the atmosphere was very nice, but they coul dn‘t arouse Veronica‘s interest at all.
They went all the way to the Ferris wheel, where the staff member opened the cabin door for them to g o inside. When the cabin door was closed, the Ferris wheel was still spinning softly. Standing in front of the glass door, Veronica stared at the outside world, but she wasn‘t delighted at all. “I‘ve always looked forward to riding the Ferris wheel since I was little. Now that I‘m actually riding one, I find that… it‘s far l ess wonderful than when you look at it from a distance.”
Standing next to her, Matthew replied, “Perhaps it‘s because we‘re riding it at night.”
“Maybe.” Veronica stood before the glass door for a while. Then, she sat down in the seat, saying, “I‘m sleepy.”
“Just sleep if you‘re sleepy,” Matthew said. Then, he saw Veronica lying huddled up on the Ferris wheel and sleeping for real.
It was already autumn, and the night was slightly chilly. The man took off his suit jacket and draped it o n Veronica. Shortly after that, he heard her even breathing. Fearing that she might fall from the seat whi le sleeping, he walked up to her and propped up her head. Then, he sat down and let her rest her head in his lap.
Veronica slept more and more soundly when she smelled the familiar scent.
The man‘s mood darkened as he gently stroked Veronica‘s hair with his fingers. After that, he took out his c ell phone and sent Thomas a text message. ‘Cancel the wedding and postpone it indefinitely
Shortly after the text message was sent, he received a text message from Thomas. It read, ‘Please think twice about it, Young Master Matthew. Miss Larson is already pregnant. I f you marry her after the baby is born, it‘ll harm the future Little Master‘s reputation, not to mention the i mpact it‘ll have on Miss Larson‘s reputation.‘
Matthew merely darted a look at Thomas‘ text message before he replied, ‘Just do it!
After he sent the text message, Thomas didn‘t reply to his text messages anymore.
With that, the man sat with his back against the chair while letting Veronica rest her head in his lap. Staying with her the entire night, he head with his hand to prevent her from falling from her seat.
When Veronica woke up the next morning, she opened her eyes and found herself in a cramped space. After blinking her eyes
“The Ferris wheel,” Matthew replied.
Upon hearing his voice, Veronica looked back at once. Only then did she realize that Matthew was sitting next to her, whereas she seemed… to have slept in his lap just now. Aft minded demeanor with a smile of embarrassment. “I forgot it. I had too much to drink last night.” As she on her, so she took it off and handed it to him. “Thanks. Let me treat you to breakfast when we go back This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
After a good night‘s sleep, she felt like all the problems that were weighing on her mind had disappeared; even her tone of voice made one feel relaxed.
After riding the Ferris wheel for another while, Veronica and Matthew left the amusement park and went
After the two got into the car, Thomas slowly drove downtown.
On the way downtown, Veronica‘s cell phone rang. When she took out her cell
phone, she saw that it was an incoming call from Elizabeth. Shooting a glance au Matthew, she pressed the ‘answer‘ button, saying, “Hello? Grandma,”
Before she could finish her sentence, though, Elizabeth‘s voice rang on the other end of the line. “Veronica, did
Upon hearing Elizabeth‘s words, Veronica knitted her brows in confusion. Lily? She had heard from Elizabeth about Lily before, so she knew that Elizabeth had a youngest daughter, but she died in a she ask me this question all of a sudden? “Grandma, a– are you alright?” She couldn‘t help worrying about Elizabeth inwardly.
“Oh, I‘m fine. I‘m alright. I just had a slip of the tongue just now. I wanted to ask you if you know where M
