Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 93

Seeing that Veronica had finally ‘surrendered‘, Matthew headed over to stand in front of the nearly vertic al half–meter steep slope before reaching out to her.

After glaring at him, she held his hand and rose to his feet.

However, when she stepped on the slope with both feet, she immediately slipped. She let out a scream, but she found herself in Matthew‘s arms a second later as she now had a firm footing.

“Sigh... What kind of road is this? It‘s impossible to walk on it. Matthew, since you are so wealthy, you sh ould do some charity and build a proper road here,” she couldn‘t help but mutter while sympathizing with the people of Almeida.

“Alright,” Matthew simply replied, but no one knew whether it was a perfunctory response. The next seco nd, he swept his hand across her cheek to wipe some mud all over her face. “You have some mud on yo ur face. Let me help you to wipe it off.”

“Really? Then, help me wipe it off.” Veronica believed his words.

Then, Matthew stretched out three fingers before sliding them across the left and right side of her face.

With that, he left whiskers that resembled Hello Kitty on her face with his muddy hand, making her look p articularly adorable. “It‘s clean now.”

He nodded his head seriously and looked at her with ‘admiration. With a hint of joy in his eyes, he held h er hand as they walked down the mountain.

Since the road was slippery and Veronica was afraid of slipping again, she tightly held his hand all the w ay forward.

It was originally a 4–to–5– hour journey, but because of the slippery road and the one hour delay from her, they only finished half of the journey that had now become treacherous due to the sudden rainstorm.

Seeing that the sky was becoming dark and Almeida was still far ahead, Matthew suggested, “Let‘s rest here and continue our journey tomorrow.”

“Sigh, alright. After the rain, the road has become much harder to walk on and the slopes are also much steeper. If we fall down the mountain, the consequences will be devastating.” Veronica agreed with Matth ew‘s words.

The two of them then set up camp on the mountain, but there was only one tent that she bought at the all ey.

“How are you going to sleep without a tent?” she asked while looking at him.

Then, he pointed at her tent, “This tent is for two people.”

“I‘m a woman and you‘re a man. Don‘t you know it‘s inappropriate for us to sleep together?”

“I‘m your brother and you‘re my sister. We are both family, so it‘s not inappropriate.”

“You‘re not my biological brother, though.” Veronica covered her chest with both. hands and scowled at him with vigilanc e. Why do I feel that this b*stard is trying to take advantage of me? Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“What‘s the problem? This isn‘t the first day that we have slept under the same roof.” The man raised his brow.

“How is that the same? Your house is over 2000 square feet while this tent is only 20 or 30 square feet at most!”

She didn‘t believe Matthew‘s nonsense.

However, the next second, he held her chin and murmured, “Your body is nowhere as good as Tiffany‘s, anyway. I‘m not…” At the same time, he swept his eyes across her body. “I‘m not interested in you at all.”

After that, he released his grip on Veronica and went into the tent.

While pouting her lips, Veronica replied, “Shameless.”

Then, she lowered her head to look at her upright chest and mumbled, “Is he blind? How is my body not better than Tiffany‘s?” .2

Just like Tiffany, she had a slim body. However, Tiffany‘s chest was a size smaller than hers, so they sim ply couldn‘t be compared to each other.

After rolling her eyes angrily, she also headed inside the tent.

Matthew was already resting in the tent, so Veronica proceeded to lay next to him. Somehow, she always felt a strange and ambiguous atmosphere whenever they were together.

However, there was only one tent with mosquitoes outside, so she felt bad to kick him oui.

After pulling the tent‘s zip, Veronica lay down before sitting up again to unzip the top of the tent.

The moment she unzipped it, there was a transparent mesh that allowed them to see everything outside clear ly.

She then patted Matthew‘s shoulder and pointed upward while saying, “Matthew, look at that. The stars i n the sky are so beautiful. I‘ve rarely seen such a beautiful starry sky after coming to Bloomstead.”

Lifting his eyes, Matthew saw the night sky outside through the waterproof mesh. Sure enough, the grou p of stars in the sky were dazzling and gorgeous.

Veronica lay down and placed both her hands on her belly while gazing at the sky outside. “This feels gre at.”

It had been a long, long time since she enjoyed a moment of leisure amidst the hustle and bustle.

After admiring the starry sky, she took out her phone and saw that there wasn‘t any signal. It felt as usele ss as holding a brick.

“There are no signals on the mountain,” Matthew explained.

“Yes, there are no signals at all. I’m bored.”

Since Veronica couldn‘t use her phone, she kept it aside and stared blankly at the sky to rest.

Not long after, her belly began to rumble, so she finally realized something. “Matthew, I don‘t think we ate anything for dinner yet.”

She was hungry.

Then, she saw Matthew pulling out something from the shoulder bag he carried as he handed it to Veroni ca. “There are many wild animals on the mountain. We should try to avoid starting a fire that would attrac t them.”

Looking at the pile of snacks and cookies that he took out, she pouted her lips and mumbled, “Sigh, ther e‘s nothing else to eat anyway.”

If i weren‘for the sudden rain today, they wouldn‘t have needed to camp on the mountain.

PssssssssSSSSSSSssssch!

Suddenly, a sound was heard.

Veronica looked over and saw Matthew holding a beer as he tried to drink it for himself.

“Matthew, you‘re so selfish. Why didn‘t you bring a beer for me?”

She snatched his beer and took a huge gulp.

When he saw her drinking; Matthew couldn‘t help but ask, “Do you like to drink beer?”

Veronica wiped the beer stains from the corner of her mouth with her sleeves and sighed. “My master loves to drink beer, so I would keep him company whenever I‘m

She has never gotten drunk before? The man raised his brow as he remembered that night when she was completely drunk. W

“Yup, you‘re quite good at it.” There was a hint of falsity to his perfunctory compliment.

Even though she wasn‘t as good as him, she still drank something that was high in alcohol that day, so it was hard to avoid being drunk no matter how sober she was.

Also, she drank a lot at one go, so her tolerance was actually… passable.

After eating something, Veronica switched off her flashlight and lay in the tent to sleep.

Not long after, Matthew also followed suit and the two of them stared at the starry night together with diffe

Suddenly, Veronica asked, “Matthew, if the Larsons decide to kill me one day, will you… help them?”

He was dumbfounded by her sudden question as he didn‘t expect her to ask

something straighi from the bottom of her heart.

Instead of answering, he asked, “Why would they want to kill you?”

“Because…” She knew that her existence would threaten the Larson Family, but even if she explained all of that to Matthew, he still wouldn‘t understand. Therefore

In the dark, Matthew fell into silence and inclined his head to look at the woman next to him without saying

that you can promise me this. You can count this as a gentleman‘s agreement between us, okay?”
