Chapte17

“Okay, sure. I’ll go and look for her,” Matthew nodded and replied. Then, he walked up to the road and surveyed the surrounding area before she spotted Veronica running in a distance.

He sauntered toward her. The girl in sports attire wore her hair in a ponytail, causing it to sway in the air as she ran non-stop. She seemed exuberant, exuding the vibe of a young lady, which made the man break into a smile that came from his heart.

She ran and ran, and soon arrived before him. “Why are you here?” Veronica impatiently muttered without even glancing at him.

“Mrs. Murphy had me ask you to go home for breakfast.”

“Alright.” she coldly uttered before she walked around him and left.

 

However, after barely taking a few steps, Veronica noticed that Matthew didn’t catch up with her, so paused in her tracks. Turning her head, she looked at him and asked, “What are you waiting for? Let’s go back to eat. We can head over to Bloomstead then.”

Matthew tilted his body to gaze at the ripples on the water that were formed by gentle breeze. “The scenery is as pretty as a picture; there’s no need for us to rush back.”

 

“No need to rush back?”

The man raised his dark brows. “That has nothing to do with me.”

Upon hearing that, Veronica grumbled to herselfDamn youIf you donhave anything to do with itwho does? “No, I’m now in charge of your wedding planning and I’m in the midst of a serious preparation, so we can’t afford to delay things.”
