Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 217 Trapped in a Maze

Nonetheless, he had never guessed Veronica would take those brown shoes and wear them without a shred of hesitation.

Stepping on the ground, she mumbled, “It actually fits me quite nicely.”

She then wore the other shoe.

With both shoes worn, she hopped around. “It’s not bad. They’re quite comfortable.” While saying that, she continued to walk ahead.

It was only after she took a few steps that she noticed total silence behind her. Turning around, she found Matthew standing in the same spot.

“What are you standing around for? Are you waiting to die here?” Pouting, she was a bit displeased.

Matthew replied, “Wow, Roni, you’re very brave.”

Even though people were not as superstitious and old-fashioned as before, a lot of people still feared the deceased’s possessions, as some would avoid them completely.

Some would even wish they would not touch the deceased’s belongings in their lives. On the other hand, Veronica did not reject this notion with disgust, as she accepted the reality of the situation they were in.

The man only felt more admiration toward her.

Upon understanding his words, Veronica looked down at the pair of shoes before saying, “I’m only lending them for now. When we get out, I’ll still return these to the girl. Besides, we still don’t know how deep and big the basement stretches or if the terrain is all smooth like now. We’re basically going in blind. If I were to walk barefoot and hurt my leg, it would only slow us down even more. The more time we spend here, the more danger we will be in. I, for one, do not want to die here.”

Even though Veronica was self-admittedly tough, she was still a bit hesitant when it came to wearing the shoes. This was why she wanted Matthew to go take them.

She wanted to use Matthew to boost her own courage, as she thought that if he dared to touch it, why would she not dare to wear it?

She braced herself and decided to wear the shoes.

No matter how afraid she was, she did not want to show it in front of Matthew.
