Chapter 115

However, if Xavier became “brothers” with Veronica, their relationship might improve, and she might com e to realize his good points. Perhaps one day, it would not be impossible for her to be willing to date him.

He let out an awkward laugh. “Haha! Sure, why not? From now on, I‘ve gained another sister.”

“Sister? Oh, by the way, do you know Melissa? I met her when I went to Almeida this time. Your sister has a really good personality and is quite likable.” Veronica subtly changed the topic to talk about Melissa.

Xavier nodded in agreement. “Well, yes. Melissa is very nice, and we have a good relationship.” As he sa id that, he used his foot to open the trash can on the side and tossed the ring in.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Seeing that, Veronica couldn‘t help but be shocked. “Why are you throwing th e ring away? It‘s very expensive, you know.”

“It‘s not that expensive actually. I have no use for it.”

“What do you mean? You can at least keep it and give it to other girls.”

A ring was a great tool for flirting with girls, so it was a pity to just throw it away. More importantly, it must‘ ve cost a pretty penny

“I can‘t give it away.”

“Why not?”

“Your name is engraved on it.”

“My name?” Veronica wrinkled her eyebrows and looked sideways at the trash can next to the bed, feelin g her heart ache.

After giving it some thought, she suggested, “How about you sell it to me for cheap?”

“Sell it to you for cheap? How?” Xavier was a little puzzled by her words.

“You‘re going to throw it away anyway, so just sell it to me for cheap. How much did you buy it? I‘ll give y ou an estimate.” Veronica blinked her bright eyes, her expression expectant.

instantly: Xavier understood what Veronica meant, and after thinking about it, he ad. “I boughu it for 99,000, but if you want it, I‘ll sell it to you for 9,900.”

“9.900: That‘s so expensive! Bro, how could you charge me that much for something you‘re about to throw away? As siblings, the least you coul d do is give me a discount.”

“Then how much do you want it for?”

“Round it off,”

“9:000?”

“Ugh. Shouldn‘t it be 5,000 if you round it off?”

9,900 rounded off is 5,000? Her way of thinking is... odd. Xavier would have never thought that he would be rejected after his first proposal to a woman in his life, and that he would sell the engagement ring he h ad prepared instead of giving it away.

“Fine, I‘ll sell it for 5,000.”

Xavier picked up the ring from the trash can and handed it to her. “I‘ll give you the ring. You can give me the 5,000 once you‘re back in Bloomstea d.”

“Hehe, of course.”

Ignoring the dangling needle on the back of her hand, Veronica took the ring and excitedly began to exa mine it. “It‘s so shiny.”

Now that she had bought a ring that originally cost 99,000 for 5,000, she could earn a huge profit after pa wning it off. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. What a steal.

Veronica took the ring out of the box and squinted at it, only to see that her name was indeed engraved o n the inside of the ring. Although the words were small and not that legible, she could barely recognize it as her name.

“Bro, you‘re the best!” Veronica was overjoyed.

“I‘m glad you like it.”

“Of course I like it. I‘m in love with it.” As long as it can be sold for money, anything‘s good. Veronica did n ot try on the ring, but carefully stuffed it into the ring box and placed it on the table instead, before she co ntinued chatting with Xavier.

Not long after that, Matthew walked in carrying a thermos. His harsh gaze swept over

Veronica and Xavier, only to see them chatting happily as Veronica clutched a heart Whaped ring box in her hands with an unconcealable expression of joy on her face. Al that sight, his face twisted in displeasu re.

With a thud, Matthew placed the thermos on the table and ordered, “Eat.”

“Hehe, thank you, Matthew.” Veronica smiled at Matthew. As she was in a good mood, she subconsciously ignored Matthew‘s unhappy expression. She got up and leaned on the bed, reaching for the thermos.

However, Xavier intervened. “Let me feed you.”

“No, I‘ll do it myself. I‘m not used to people feeding me.” The moment Veronica unscrewed the lid of the t hermos, she was met with a delicious aroma. Using a spoon, she scooped up a spoonful of porridge and briefly blew on it before stuffing it into her mouth. “It’s so delicious.”

Compared to the miserable past few days, it was a gift from heaven to be able to eat delicious food again .

“Phew… it‘s a little hot.” She laughed and continued to eat with her head down.

On the sofa, Matthew stared at Veronica with his cold eyes before he finally took his phone and typed a message to Thomas. “Give Young Master Xavie

Ten minutes later, Xavier‘s cell phone suddenly rang. The moment he answered the phone, his face imme immediately.”

“What‘s wrong?” Noticing that Xavier did not look well, Veronica immediately became concerned.

“Something came up at the company, so I have to go back to Bloomstead early. I‘ll wait for you there.”

“Okay, okay, you can go back first. I still have Matthew here, so don‘t worry. I‘ll be fine.” Veronica assured with a wave of he

Xavier stood up and gave a meaningful glance at Matthew. “I‘ll be taking my leave first. Take care of Veron Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Though his words seemed harmless on the surface, they held a deeper meaning if one read between the

“You don‘need to trouble yourself. Young Master Xavier,” Matthew said as he leaned on the sofa with his l smile.

Xavier looked back at Veronica uneasily. “Although you‘re Old Mrs. Kings‘ god granddaughter and Matthew‘s sister in name, you‘re still a girl. You have to be careful sometimes so that people won‘t start ru

“Gosh, I know, I know. I‘ll be fine.” Veronica nodded profusely, her tone turning impatient.

Of course, she knew Xavier was warning her that Matthew was the one with a fiancée, and she should avoid arousing gossip by staying with Matthew. Even if she “liked” Matthew, she still had to take her status into account.

With one sentence, each of them fell into their own thoughts. However, Matthew thought that Veronica ha

Without waiting for Matthew to reply, Xavier left. Once he was gone, Veronica and Matthew were the only silent while Veronica concentrated on eating, enjoying the joys of life in high spirits.

When she finished eating, she burped and put the lunch box on the table. Then, she picked up the ring an with it with an expression of unconcealed delight.

At that moment, Matthew, who was never easily swayed, finally could not hold back his anger. He got up a “How can a single ring make you this happy?“)

“Matthew, give me my ring back.” Veronica sat up, but because she had moved too suddenly, she acciden
