Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1197 Third Wheel 

“Veronica, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave with Alex first. I’ll come to see you again later. Goodbye,” Jessica said to Veronica.

Since the matter had already been resolved, there was nothing left to do there. Hence, Jessica planned to take Alex to her beautifully renovated villa and cook him a delicious meal. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

However, Veronica unhesitatingly opened Jessica’s car door and sat right in. With a smile, Veronica asked, “Jessica, when we were at the Blue Mountain Café, the waiter mentioned that you bought a house here. and it’s the most luxurious villa in the area. May I go in and take a look?”

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Jessica hesitated. Deep down, she really didn’t want Veronica to come along because she was hoping to use this opportunity to get closer to Alex.

Just as she was about to turn Veronica down, Veronica said, “Jessica, no matter what, we’ve grown up together since we were little, right? I just want to visit your house, that’s all. You wouldn’t deny me this. small request, would you?”

At this point in the conversation, it was difficult for Jessica to say no. With a sigh of resignation, she had no choice but to agree.

Throughout the journey, Veronica kept talking, while Jessica and Alex merely responded with occasional Temarks.

When the three of them arrived at the villa, astonishment was written all over Veronica’s face. At the same time, she was filled with envy.

“Wow! This house is so beautiful! If only I could have a house like this! I could go to the Blue Mountain. Café every day for coffee, and the best part is that it’s all free!” Veronica sat on the couch, completely enchanted. She was imagining herself living in the villa.

This thought undoubtedly intensified Veronica’s jealousy toward Jessica. If Veronica could deceive Alex into being with her, perhaps she could even get a bigger and better villa for herself.

“Alex is so good to you! I wish I could have a boyfriend like him! I’m so envious!” Veronica said with a pitiful look in her eyes as she gazed at Alex.

Jessica just gave Veronica a cold glance. A woman’s intuition told Jessica that her cousin had once again set her sights on Alex.

“Please have a seat. I’ll go to the kitchen to prepare some food.” Jessica didn’t even glance at Veronica, but she smiled at Alex before heading to the kitchen.

Seeing that Jessica had gone to the kitchen, Veronica smiled. She then stood up from the couch and walked over to sit beside Alex.

“Before, I didn’t know who you were, and I may have offended you. Please don’t hold it against me! If you’re angry, you can punish me however you like.” Veronica looked at Alex with her big eyes and put on a teasing expression on her face.

Alex just smiled and didn’t deliberately move from his position. Upon closer inspection, Veronica’s figure was indeed quite attractive. Her straight, slender legs were clad in sexy, enchanting black stockings, her willowy waist was slim and delicate, and her cleavage was somewhat incredible.

With such a great figure, Alex couldn’t help but wonder if this woman had gone under the knife for the sake of beauty, not just on her face, but her body as well.

“I usually don’t argue with women unless it’s too much for me to bear. But my tolerance doesn’t mean others can do whatever they please,” said Alex indifferently.

Veronica couldn’t figure out what Alex meant by those words. Was he rejecting me or allowing me to stay close to him?

For a moment, she couldn’t make up her mind. Fearing that Alex would be angry, Veronica reluctantly. returned to her original seat.

“Mr. Jefferson, how long have you been with Jessica? She must have never told you about her childhood, right? Let me tell you,” Veronica whispered and glanced in the direction of the kitchen.
