Chapter 74

“Bro, you should also address me as your dear sister.” There was a slight smile on her flawless face.

Just then, Matthew’s eyes met hers. “Are you even worthy of that?”

“Well, regardless of whether I’m worthy or not, I’m now Grandma’s god granddaughter and your sister. There’s no difference as to whether you admit it or not. Don’t you think so, brother?”

Their eyes met each others’ and although both appeared to be smiling happily, in actual fact, they were secretly having it out and neither of them wanted to give in to the other.

Just then, Veronica made a thumbs-up gesture at him.

“Bro, I do feel drained seeing you make so much effort to be a great fiance and a filial grandson at the same time.”

She lifted her hand to push his hand aside and before poking him on the chest with her slender finger. “Good luck to you!”

With that, Veronica smiled meaningfu
