Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 356 A Capricious Veronica

Conrad maintained his image as the nice guy that was ever gentle and considerate, as though nothing had happened before.

Veronica smiled in response to avoid putting Elizabeth in a tough position. “Oh, really? What were you guys talking about? Don’t tell me that you’ve spoken ill of me.”

Conrad laughed at her ‘joke’. “You’re right! Mom thought you wouldn’t come because you hadn’t come recently.”

Yvonne let out a wry smile, trying to hide her awkwardness.

“Roni, don’t listen to his nonsense.” Elizabeth grinned ear to ear.

Veronica seated herself beside Elizabeth after she placed the presents aside and began a light conversation. Then, suddenly, Veronica asked the old lady, “Grandma, do you know that Yvonne is pregnant?”

“Yes. Conrad told me about it.” Elizabeth nodded.

An insidious Veronica glanced at Conrad before continuing, “It’s good news, isn’t it? When will they have their wedding?”

“Yvonne said her parents are busy overseas. They’ll be back after the new year to discuss the wedding preparations.” Elizabeth took a glimpse of Yvonne and sighed. “You youngsters are different nowadays. You have your own ways of handling things. It’s no use for an old lady like me to keep worrying.”

Veronica made a quick deduction and concluded that Conrad took the initiative by confiding in Elizabeth about Yvonne’s pregnancy when she heard Elizabeth’s words. In the meantime, he had made up an excuse to postpone the wedding in order to buy some time.
