Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew)
Chapter 445

Chapter 445 You Are Not My Type

"Y-You... Grandma, the date you said you want to introduce to me is... Veronica?"

Miguel was thunderstruck. He didn't even have the courage to peek at Matthew's face as he quickly shook his head. "No, no! Grandma, she is not my type!"

The clever answer made the corner of Matthew's lips curl into a slight arc. Smart, he mused. Or I would've broken his leg. Although Matthew was satisfied with the answer, Veronica was upset.

"What type am I? We haven't even hung out! How do you know if I am right for you or not?" she asked. As though this was a mere joke, she then continued to tease, "I think you are pretty good. You are gentle and polite, and you are much more powerful than a certain someone. Miguel, how about we spend some time getting to know each other? You might see that I am not all that bad."

Veronica had no intention of letting Miguel go just like that, precisely because he was Matthew's friend.

"Huh?" Miguel was stunned when Veronica didn't go as he thought she would. He only came back to his senses after a while. "I really can't." He fervently shook his head. "I really don't like you." "What type of girl do you like, then?" she asked. Hearing that, Miguel looked at Matthew with a helpless look, hoping that Matthew would say something for him.

Unexpectedly, Matthew only lowered his head. He picked up a glass of wine from the table and took a sip from it. As if immersed in the rich and mellow aroma of the fine wine, he was completely unaware of the secret message Miguel was sending his way.

Now that he had been 'blocked' by Matthew, Miguel had no choice but to laugh awkwardly. "I like gentle, virtuous, sweet, and cute women."

"Oh. That is not hard to do." She brought up a hand and ran it through her hair. "I can get a chin-length haircut and straighten it out tomorrow. With my appearance, even though I am definitely not considered a cute girl, I am not far from the sweet type. And as for being gentle and virtuous like you said, I may not be the type, but... it is alright. I can change!"

She seemed to have locked her target on Miguel today.

Even though Miguel was prepared to be tormented, he never expected Veronica to be so persistent.

Even Elizabeth was taken aback by Veronica's words. Did she really leave Matthew because she had no feelings for him? Or did she fall in love with Miguel instead?

She herself wasn't too sure for a moment there.

Matthew's face had turned completely dark as he held his wine glass harder, his joints visibly turning white. It felt as though the glass in his hand would be crushed to pieces anytime now.

'I may not be the type, but it is alright. I can change!' What is she talking about?

She's actually willing to do something like this for Miguel's sake?

She has never said something like this when we were together!

As his jealousy welled up, only God knew how many times Matthew repeated a mantra-Endure. You must endure.

If it wasn't for his excellent self-control, he wouldn't be able to keep his emotions at bay. Instead, he would have directly carried her back to the room and given her 'punishment' so severe that she would reflect on her actions.

"Ah? Um... Uh..." Miguel hesitated, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time.

Elizabeth let out a frown then. "Miguel, does it bother you that Veronica was Matthew's girlfriend?"

"No, no. Of course not."

"Since that is not the case, why don't you want to give me a chance? If you really can't do it, I will be the one doing the pursuing instead," Veronica deliberately said.

Although she suddenly felt bad about playing with Miguel, she had to do it to get on Matthew's nerves.

B*stard! I want to give him a heart attack if I can! Veronica fumed before Miguel slowly muttered, "P-Pursue m-me?"

The way he stammered that brief, incomplete question made it seem as if he had a stutter.

"Mhm." She smiled softly and turned her head to look at Matthew. "Matthew, since you and Miguel are good friends, you should know what he likes to eat or do. You have to tell me so that I can bring him something delicious in the future."

She was thinking how Matthew was always the one who prepared good food for her back when they were together.

Now Matthew had been replaced by Miguel, Veronica was the one taking the initiative to prepare all kinds of food for Miguel.

Matthew will probably be pissed if he compared the difference in the treatment, won't he?

Upon hearing her voice, Matthew languidly lifted his gaze and glanced at her with contempt. He could feel his top blowing off as he observed that joyful smile blooming across her face. How dare she provoke me?!

Instead of answering her, he continued to slowly sip the red wine in the glass, and only spoke when he caught sight of the beaming smile on her face gradually turning stiff and then furious. "Having self- awareness is what makes one human. Do you know what this is called when you keep forcing yourself on Miguel when you already know that he doesn't like you?"

"What?" Veronica's eyes went wide with curiosity. The innocence on her face made it look as if she didn't understand what he was saying.

In all seriousness, she then hit the table with just the right amount of force as she continued, "Of course it is called 'true love'. Who would stick to a man if it is not because of true love?" Matthew's face turned even colder when he gave what she said a thought.

Are changing her personality and preparing food for Miguel what she thinks 'true love' is?

So the reason she never did anything when we were together was because...

She didn't love me?

Matthew had turned frigid at this point.

However, he would never let his emotions show on his face no matter how angry he might be.

Having been in the business for many years, Matthew had long since trained himself to be as impassive as could be. Even if he was angry, he could hide his emotions very well.

"True love? Ha!" He snorted lightly as he poured himself another glass of red wine. Slowly placing the decanter down onto the table, he looked up at Veronica and hummed, "From what I see, you don't give a rat's a's about..."

He didn't finish his words, and only pointed at his own face.

Without needing to word it, it was obvious he was mocking Veronica by saying she didn't care about how she looked to other people; in other words, he was telling her that she was shameless.

"Matthew, this is your godsister you are talking about! How could you say that?!" Elizabeth glared at him. "She likes Miguel and she is willing to fight for him, which shows that she knows how to cherish her feelings. What is so shameless about it? Your mother was the one who went after your father too. With your mentality, would you still say that your mother didn't care about her..."

Hearing that, Matthew immediately fell silent with his lips pressed together. His parents' relationship was effective to shut him up.

Satisfied, Elizabeth chuckled. "Miguel, look at how sincere Veronica is toward you. Just spend some time together. Who knows? You and her may end up being compatible. It will be a pity if you miss each othe because you aren't willing to give it a try now."

Miguel and Caleb were so drunk that time in Twilight Condominium that they slept like logs. By the time they woke up, Veronica had already left.

They only knew that Matthew and Veronica had broken up after that, but they had no clue what was the reason for the breakup.

Even Skyler and Sasha said that they didn't know because they had fallen asleep as well.
