Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Let Roni Marry Me

Daniella’s question caught Matthew off-guard. He stopped scrubbing the dishes in his hand and turned to give Veronica a bemused look.

Veronica quickly tugged on Daniella’s arm as she asked through gritted teeth, “Mom, you can’t just ask questions like that.”

“It’s only natural to make a wife out of someone I love.” Matthew straightened up and answered Daniella solemnly, “I don’t know how others do it, but my status in the Kingses has yet to compel me to consider an arranged marriage for business alliance.”

He had heard what Daniella implied earlier, given how tactless she had gone about it. Right now, she understood what he meant as well. “We can quibble over your intentions,” she began. “But it won’t change the fact that you rich folks always have tricks up your sleeves. What if you get bored one day and decide to move on to the next shiny new toy?”

Daniella kept her gaze on him, but she was clutching Veronica’s hand the entire time.

Upon hearing what Daniella said, Veronica could not help feeling the tension condensing in the air. An honest and thoroughbred farm worker would not understand the implications of boredom in a relationship, at least not under normal circumstances, but for Daniella to have brought it to the forefront of her argument only went to show how worried she was. Veronica was admittedly moved by this.

Presently, Matthew did not break eye contact with Daniella as he dried his hands on a rag. Then, he walked up to her and glanced at Veronica, who was next to her. He decided that there were some things better left out in the open than unsaid, and this was one of them. “Maybe we haven’t met enough times for you to get a real grasp of my character, Mrs. Murphy, but I can assure you that I’m never one to mingle around just because I stand to gain something from it.”

“Then what’s going on between you and Tiffany?” Daniella asked directly, not at all caring for subtlety.
