Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1254

Chapter 1254 One of Us Has to Die

Xavier looked like he had just woken up, and Veronica realized that Matthew had not come to see him.

"Um… I..." she stuttered, racking her brain for a reason, and finally lied. "I couldn't sleep and wanted to thank you with a phone call. But I couldn't reach you and thought you were in danger, so I came to check on you."

She never mentioned Matthew.

Xavier's hand gripped the doorknob, his clear mind recalling everything that had happened a few hours ago. His gaze instantly turned dark, and he spoke coldly, "Would someone full of lies truly care about my life and death? I should thank you, huh?"

Suddenly, he became distant toward Veronica.

Since Matthew faked his death, she had to lie to him. "Xavier…" She called his name, looking up at him. When their eyes met, she felt the coldness emanating from his eyes.

With just one glance, she lowered her head guiltily. "I know, I lied to you. But you and Matt have always been at odds, and I had my thoughts, so I had to keep it from you."

"Is that your explanation?" He remained unmoved. "If you're done, leave."

He began to dismiss her, but she did not turn around and leave. Instead, she looked up, her eyes full of anticipation, and asked, "Can you and Matt let go of your hatred for each other?"

She did not want to see either of them getting hurt as enemies. It would be great if they could resolve the conflict between them.

"Let go?" Xavier could not control his emotions, and his voice raised.

After speaking, he glanced back toward the bedroom, took a step forward, and gently closed the door. Standing before her, he put his hands in the pockets of his bathrobe and looked at her. "Listen carefully, Veronica…" he said each word with emphasis. "In this lifetime, either I die, or he dies."

There were some things that he found difficult to say.

Although it was not verbalized, Veronica could still understand the unbearable things that had happened in the past and the death of his sister, Melissa.

"Are we still friends?" she asked calmly.

It was a sudden question that left him silent. After a few seconds, he lightly opened his thin lips. "A few hours ago, we were. But now, we're not anymore."
