The Life Of A Billionaires Wife

Chapter 27 Veronica’s Morning Sickness

Her response impressed Xavier very much.

Holding the takeaway box in his hand, he watched Veronica intently with a deep look in his eyes. In that moment, he could feel her dismay as well as the strength in her heart, and there was even a split second when he saw himself in her because they were simply too alike.

“Alright, Roni. Let’s go in.” As Xavier already didn’t like Tiffany from before, this matter now only deepened his dislike for her as he felt that she was a hypocrite.

He reached out, took Veronica’s hand, and pulled her toward himself before placing his arm around her shoulders.

This gesture struck Tiffany and Matthew by surprise, and Tiffany gasped. “What?” Placing her hand to her lips in astonishment, she uttered, “Voronica, w-when did you get to know Young Master Xavier? H-He’s…”

Everyone understood what she was trying to say from the hesitant way she was speaking; she wanted to call Xavier a Casanova, the infamous useless rich child of Bloomstead, and a dandy. But it was her engagement party today, so she didn’t say the words in the end.

“Tiffany, since Miss Murphy is your friend, you should advise her to stay away from unreliable people.”

Matthew’s reputation was the reason Tiffany didn’t say those insults, since she was afraid to cause trouble and make the situation awkward. However, who would have thought that it was Matthew who had said those words himself!

Even though he was speaking to Tiffany, his eyes were fixed on Veronica, and he didn’t look away for even a second.

“Matthew, maybe they’re just friends,” Tiffany said, trying to smooth things over.

“Right, she’s a friend—my girlfriend!”

As a man, Xavier had acutely sensed the hostility Matthew had for himself, especially from his eyes, which were fixed on Veronica.

When he recalled what happened that day at Twilight Club, an idea flashed across his mind, but he felt that it was very ridiculous.

“I just forgot to introduce her to everyone.”

In order to protect her, he was even willing to ‘admit’ that she was his girlfriend. She was ‘ugly’, yet he was still protecting her despite everyone’s sarcasm.

Even if Veronica had a heart made of stone, she would still be touched, so she held Xavier’s hand. “Xavier Crawford is my boyfriend.”

“Y-Your boyfriend?”
