The Life Of A Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 157
“No, I didn‘t. Who do you expect me to see, Mr. Ritter?” Tiffany asked with feigned ignorance.
Thomas smiled at once. “No, nothing. I just wanted to ask if you had seen Miss Carson leaving.” He cleverly made up an excuse. Miss Carson was one of the secretaries in Spinfluence Group‘s secretarial department, so it was normal for her to make contact with Matthew.
“No, I didn‘t.” Tiffany stared fixedly at Thomas without blinking. When her keen eyes noticed the flicker of guilt in his eyes, she instantly realized that he was hiding something
Ding! The elevator reached the top floor.
Stepping out of the elevator, Thomas made an inviting gesture. “You may go in, Miss Larson. Young Ma ster Matthew is inside. I‘ll be going down first.” It would be improper for him, a personal assistant, to pla y gooseberry when the engaged couple were alone in a private space.
“Oh, okay.” Tiffany nodded. Carrying her handbag, she stepped out of the elevator in high heels. After r eaching the door to the living room, she knocked on the door, which opened automatically for her to go inside.
In the living room, Skyler was bombarding Matthew with questions about Veronica, whereas Caleb sat aside and listened quietly without saying a word. When the living room door suddenly opened, they loo ked at the door and saw Tiffany coming in.
Skyler‘s eyes widened involuntarily; he grabbed Caleb‘s arm and pinched it hard. “Holy sh*t, why‘s she here? It‘s lucky that Veronica‘s gone. Otherwise, wouldn‘t she have caught Matt in the act?” he whisper ed to himself.
However, as soon as he finished his sentence, Matthew immediately shot him a threatening glare, send ing a chill down his spine while causing him to let out an involuntary gasp of fright.
Tiffany said, “Matthew? Oh, Skyler and Caleb! So both of you are here 100?” She had been suspecting just now that something was going on between Veronica and Matthew, but her mind was put to rest wh en she saw Skyler and Caleb. She thought she had worried too much just now. Even if Veronica did come, it was a best becau se Matthew had something to give her. After all, Veronica was Elizabeth‘s god granddaughter, so it was understandable for them to be in touch with each other
Furthermore, what else could happen between them in the presence of the upright Caleb?
Forcing out a chuckle, Skyler waved to Tiffany and flattered her against his conscience, saying, “Ho ho, our gifted lady is here! You‘ve become prettier since I last saw you several days ago.” Luckily, he flirted with women all the time and was often accompanied by gorgeous ladies, so these words of flattery ca me to him as easily as breathing. They might sound insincere, but he was used to saying them.
Caleb nodded to Tiffany in greeting.
Matthew asked, “What brings you here?” He looked unperturbed upon seeing Tiffany, but his fathomless eyes rested on her face with a touch of scrutiny, as if musing on whether she had stumbled across Veronica.
“I wanted to go to your office to see you at first, but Mr. Ritter said you weren‘t there, so I came here ins tead.” Tiffany came to Matthew‘s side and sat down. Seeing the sumptuous breakfast on the coffee tabl e, she asked, “Matthew, why are you guys having breakfast so late in the morning?” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Drew and Caleb ordered these since they hadn‘t eaten breakfast,” Matthew replied. Skyler was the fou rth child in his family, so Matthew and the others called him “Drew,” a nickname that originated from the word “quadruple.”
“Uh… Y–Yeah, t– that‘s right. Caleb and I were a little hungry, so we ordered something to eat,” Skyler chimed in as he e agerly played along.
Seeing how the two men echoed each other‘s words, Tiffany believed their story, and her bad mood jus t now instantly disappeared. Sitting beside Matthew, she pursed her lips slightly while turning to look at the handsome man who would soon become her groom. At the thought of this, she felt exhilarated. Holding Matthew‘s arm in a very natural manner, she said coquettishly in a soft and sweet voice, “Matthew, are you free today? Could you go with me to pick my wedding dress?”
Needless to say, Tiffany was a gorgeous woman with an exceptionally sweet voice, and she could mak e countless men feel their bodies go limp just by acting a bit like a coquette. However, Matthew wasn‘t one of these men. “I‘m—” he began, before changing his tune mid– sentence upon smelling the overwhelming perfume that Tiffany was wearing. “Don‘t wear perfume anymore. You‘re pregnant.”
He was only asking Tillany to stop wearing perfume on the excuse of her pregnancy so that he wouldn‘t detest her even more. However, when Tiffany heard those words, she felt she was being loved and car ed for by the man. Deeply moved, she nodded heavily. “Okay, I‘ll do as you say, Matthew.” It doesn‘t matter even if the perfume and
cosmetics I‘m using are safe for pregnant women. As long as he dislikes it, I‘ll correct it, she thought. Fi nally she added, “I‘ll try not to wear makeup and high heels from now on.”
“Uh–huh,” Matthew uttered impassively with his stony face devoid of expression.
Skyler and Caleb sat on the sofa across from the couple with their eyes focused on them. Upon sensing does, is the best candidate for the Kings Family‘s future matriarch?
“Matthew, let‘s go pick out my wedding dress with me,” Tiffany pleaded. Then, before Matthew could say anything, she turned to look at Skyler and Caleb across from be the best men at Matthew and my wedding. Shall we go and pick out our attire together?” As Matthew
Skyler had a warm personality. Now that a beautiful lady was inviting him, he wouldn‘t turn her down, of course, so he nodded and agreed w thinking.
As soon as he finished his sentence, though, he noticed Matthew‘s darkened face, and the smile on his fac he shouldn‘t have accepted Tiffany‘s invitation. That being said, what was said couldn‘t be unsaid. He sc
“Since you guys are free today, let‘s go together,” Matthew agreed for the first time.
The fact that he would agree to go pick out Tiffany‘s wedding dress with her made Caleb frown slightly. I
On the other hand, Tiffany was filled with ecstatic happiness. “Okay! In that case, let‘s go right away.” God only knew how long she had been looking forw to this moment. Now that her dream was coming true, this was even more surprising to her than winning million jackpot! After all, the Kings family‘s future matriarch was a position that had been coveted by countless women for a long ume By becoming Matthew‘s wife, she would beat thousands of women to t
