This feeling left Veronica feeling both lost and helpless.
Though bitter in her heart, she knew she couldn't have it all.
"You misunderstood." Veronica explained, "He has always wanted to reveal his identity, but I have been stopping him. Also, be careful of Eleanor. She is not as simple as she seems."
After saying that, Veronica didn't have much else to add. "Take care."
She then turned to Matthew. "Matt, let's go."
The two of them walked away from him in silence.
For Xavier, the scene seemed to unfold in slow motion. The person he loved was growing more distant with each step.
His heart was torn apart. The pain was so intense that it felt like spasms, taking his breath away.
When will she ever take a proper look at me?
After Veronica and Matthew got into the car, Matthew started the sedan and slowly drove away.
Inside the car, Veronica leaned against the passenger seat, looking ahead, and sighed. "Offending Zac means that once your identity is revealed, he will definitely know it was you. From now on, you must be cautious."
She was somewhat worried about Matthew's safety.
"Okay, my dear wife."
The man smiled and reached out to touch Veronica's cheek.
But as soon as his hand touched her delicate skin, she mercilessly slapped it away, instructing, "Focus on driving."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Matthew was in a good mood. There was even a faint smile that he couldn't hide in his eyes.
Seeing him so happy, Veronica was puzzled. "You look like you're in a good mood."
"It's nothing. I just find it satisfying to see you slap Tiffany."
In the living room earlier, Tiffany kept accusing Veronica and Xavier of colluding with each other. However, Veronica didn't hesitate to walk up and slap her.
As Veronica listened to Matthew's words, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then she smiled. "Is that so?"
After being separated by Zac's men yesterday, he realized something was wrong. However, since he couldn't escape quickly, he immediately contacted Skyler to come and protect Veronica.
Xavier just so happened to pass by and save her first.
As her husband, Matthew felt guilty about this.
"Matt, thank you."
Veronica was deeply moved.
"Is that all?"
He glanced at Veronica and parked the car on the side of the road, turning off the engine.
He then turned to her and asked, "Isn't a verbal 'thank you' too insincere?"
"Huh? How do you want me to express my gratitude, then?"
Veronica looked confused.
