Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 327

Matthew Likes Guys

The minute that they left, the few salesgirls couldn't help gossiping about them again.

"Oh, my God! They spent over 50 minutes in there. How passionate!"

"What great stamina they have! To be honest, I'm a little envious of them."

"Tell me about it. My husband and I never lasted more than half an hour."

"Guess which one of them is at the top and which one is the bottom."

"Sigh, the Kings Corporation's century-old legacy is coming to an end at the hands of its current president, I'm afraid. Now that he's going out with a man, he's bound to die childless. The company's century-old legacy is gonna be doomed."

"What's the point of talking about someone with a personal net worth of billions when you guys only earn 3,000 a month?"

"Haha! We're just gossiping to kill time."

"But I really like the young man with short, silvery gray hair. He was so cool."

Veronica didn't hear the salesgirls talking about her, though. As she walked out of the clothing store with Matthew, she wished she could shake off his hand and bolt down the road as far away from him as possible. However, he held her hand in a firm grip, refusing to let go.

Consequently, she flew into a rage at once. Glowering at the man angrily, she snapped, "Do you have a death wish, Matthew? Don't you know where this is? We're at a shopping mall-I repeat, a shopping mall! Don't my rules count anymore?" What rules? They're simply f*cking useless! All of a sudden, she felt like she had dug herself into a hole.

Seeing how furious she was, Matthew merely smiled a faint smile and pulled up the face mask under her chin to cover her face. They had tucked their face masks under their chins just now after entering the clothing store, but their passionate coupling a while ago caused her to forget about this. "What can I do? You're too charming, Roni," he said tenderly.

"Charming, my foot!" Veronica pointed her finger at his forehead in anger and exasperation. "Let me warn you that you're on a three-month probation period and will be fired once you receive three warnings. You've received a warning before; today you're gonna receive another warning. You still have one last chance!"

Matthew didn't give a damn about it, though. "Oh? Is that so?" He took a step closer to Veronica with a roguish smile. "Why don't I know about the three warnings? Could it be that you added such a rule because you loathe to part with me?"

"You..." Veronica was rendered speechless for a moment. Damn it, he found out what I'm thinking!

Matthew grabbed her hand that was pointing at him. "Don't be mad, Roni. I'll do whatever you say from now on."

"That's what you said last time-no, you also said the same thing the time before that!" As expected, men are nothing but liars!

"I seriously mean it this time." The look in his eyes was sincere without the slightest hint of pretension.

Veronica shook off his hand with a snort. "I'll believe you one last time," she said, before suddenly recalling the movie tickets. She lifted her wrist to check the time. "Sh*t, the movie is about to start. We're late." They were supposed to wait for an hour at first. However, they had lost some time shopping for clothes, only to spend nearly an hour making out in the fitting room. As the movie had already started according to the time printed on their movie tickets, Veronica couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with Matthew. They quickly went upstairs and entered the cinema with their face masks on.

The movie was a foreign sci-fi blockbuster, but it was totally without merit save for some of its special effects.

Veronica sat beside Matthew; they had come in so hurriedly that they didn't even buy popcorn or drinks. As she watched the movie, she felt her eyes become somewhat heavy. In the end, she leaned her head on Matthew's shoulder and fell asleep.

Seeing her sleeping like a baby, Matthew let her lean on his lap, knowing that she had probably fallen asleep because she had gotten tired from their prolonged lovemaking just now. Not only that, but he even put his arm under her head so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Buzz... Halfway through the movie, his cell phone began vibrating nonstop. He rejected the phone calls for fear of disturbing Veronica in her sleep, but his friends and Troy then bombarded him with WhatsApp messages.

Troy's message read, 'Bad news, President Kings! You're now trending!"

Skyler texted, 'Holy cow! Bro, since when are you in love with a guy?'

Caleb texted, 'What's going on with you?'

Miguel's message read, 'Matthew, are you going out with a man because you got upset after Veronica rejected your feelings?'

Troy's second message read, 'President Kings, the reporters know you're at the shopping mall. They're on their way there to look for you.'

While Matthew was reading the messages, Veronica, who was leaning asleep on his lap, woke up. Seeing his grave expression, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Matthew immediately showed her the message Troy had sent her.

Veronica's heart skipped a beat the instant she read the text message. She immediately said, "Come on, let's go. We've to hurry. If the reporters replace us later, we'll be finished." "Okay." Matthew nodded.

With that, they got up and hurriedly left the cinema, taking the elevator straight to the second basement before leaving by car.

Back at the Kings Residence, Matthew had Troy and the others drive his and Veronica's cars away and park a new car at the back door in order to elude Conrad and Yvonne.

The new car was a cheap and unobtrusive sedan. As the couple exited the second basement parking lot, they saw many reporters at the shopping mall's entrance, who were stopped by a bunch of security guards. They knew that these security guards were most probably sent by Troy for the purpose of stopping the reporters to make time for Matthew to leave.

After darting a look in that direction, Matthew stepped on the gas and left right away.

Veronica's cell phone had been turned off as it ran out of juice, so she opened Twitter on his device. Instantly, she noticed the list of trending hashtags on Twitter. The No. 1 hashtag was 'Full Face Photo of Matthew Kings' Boyfriend,' whereas the No. 2 and No. 3 hashtags were 'Matthew Broke off His Engagement to Tiffany Because He Is in Love With a Guy' and 'Matthew and His Boyfriend Making Out in a Fitting Room' respectively.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the news of Matthew and his mysterious 'boyfriend' occupied 22 of the 50 most trending topics on Twitter. Veronica tapped randomly on one of the tweets with the hashtags, which showed not only the photo of her and Matthew in the shopping mall but also the photo of them necking in the clothing store. The instant she saw the photo, she realized that she and Matthew had been secretly photographed by the sales assistant at the clothing store.

The netizens' reactions were mixed. One of the tweets read, 'F*ck! I'm never obsessed with celebrities, which is why I'm a fan of Young Master Matthew. I never thought he'd blot his copybook in the end, though.'

Another tweet read, 'I used to imagine Young Master Matthew liking someone, but I never dreamed he'd be in love with a man.'

The third tweet read, 'I'm sobbing. To think that my Prince Charming already has a boyfriend!'

Another netizen tweeted, 'What else can I say as an old spinster? Please don't increase the proportion of spinsters to men anymore.'

'Which of them is the top? And which of them is the bottom?' tweeted another netizen.

'Just who the hell is Young Master Matthew's boyfriend?'

'I need to calm down!'

'Good thing that Tiffany didn't get married to him. Otherwise, her life would've been wasted.'

A netizen wrote, 'I'm rooting for them. What year are we living in? This is acceptable to me.'

To Veronica's relief, there were no offensive insults and abuses flung at them in those tweets. However... Turning to look at Matthew beside her, she touched her nose in embarrassment, asking, "Uh... Would you like to speak up and explain it?"

"Explain what?"
