Chapter 155


    “Thank you,” the delivery guy said, before he turned around and left.


    .


    Veronica turned back into the living room while carrying the food instion box. “He he, Matthew, since y


    ou ordered so much food for


    breakfast, I‘d better finish them before leaving. Otherwise, it‘ll be a waste,” she said while heading toward


    the sofa with the food instion box in one hand and the paper bags in the other.


    Skyler was sitting on the sofa and groaning in pain when he saw Veronicaing back. However, before


    he could call her to ount for her excessive use of self defense just now, he was kicked lightly by Vero


    nica, who said, “Get up! Move aside a little.”


    Skyler‘s lips twitched violently. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the unsympathetic smile o


    n Caleb‘s face and how Matthew showed no intention of standing up for him, he voluntarily moved aside


    to make a ce for Veronica.


    Veronica put the paper bags containing clothes on the sofa and the food instion box on the coffee tabl


    e. As soon as she opened the box, she was greeted by a savory smell. “Wow, it smells so good! I happe


    n to be hungry,” she said while taking out the sumptuous


    breakfast inside the box: “Aren‘t you a bit of a spendthrift, Matthew? Why order so much for breakfast for


    both of us?” Her heart ached terribly at the sight of the various dishes in the food instion box. This me


    al is damn expensive.


    At the sight of the scene, Skyler was astounded. Not only did Veronica address Matthew by thetter‘s fir


    st name without the use of honorifics, but she even spoke to him in a rude and even somewhat cocky ma


    nner. Is this what people mean by “spoiling“? She simply fears nothing, he thought. In Bloomstead, Skyle


    r had rarely seen anyone who dared to call Matthew by his first name or even haughtily chastise him


    for being a “spendthrift.” He felt like his world was being turned upside down.


    On the other hand, Caleb‘s imprable gaze shifted back and forth between Veronica and Matthew, ma


    king it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.


    “Let‘s eat together,” Matthew said. Then, he went to the master bathroom to wash up.


    Seeing that the man had entered the bathroom, Skyler immediately moved up to Veronica. “Babe, do you


    always speak to Matthew in such a haughty way?”


    “Haughty? How?


    Wasn‘t that just normalmunication? Matthew is a spendthrift in the first ce, so I was only stating t


    he fact,” Veronica replied while sitting cross legged on the carpet. After opening the container containing


    the porridge, she


    lowered her head and started to dig in with no intention of waiting for Matthew at all.


    “Aren‘t you gonna wait for him to join you for breakfast?” Skyler asked.


    “Why should I wait for him toe and eat with me? Don‘t tell me that I have to wait for him to feed me.”


    Skyler was rendered speechless by her reply. What a conversation killer. Without saying another word, h


    e slowly walked to Caleb‘s side and nudged thetter in the arm, exchanging looks with thetter. F*ck, t


    his little babe is no ordinary woman, he conveyed with his eyes.


    Caleb gave him a look in return. I noticed that long ago.


    Skyler shot him a re. If you noticed that long ago, why didn‘t you stop me just now? Do you know how


    much my butt hurt just now?


    Caleb threw him a disdainful look. Serves you right. You were the one who asked for it.


    Skyler red at him. Get lost!


    The two men kept making eye contact while thinking the same things.


    After a little while, Matthew came out of his bedroom, having washed up, taken a shower, and changed i


    nto a set of


    clean clothes. After looking at the two buddies sitting on the sofa, he darted his eyes toward Veronica, wh


    o was sitting on the carpet. Seeing that she was eating breakfast with relish, he sat down beside her habi


    tually and pushed the ss of specially–ordered milk toward her. “Drink this.”


    “Okay.” Veronica picked up the ss of


    warm milk and took a sip from it before furrowing her brow. “Matthew, did you poison the milk or somethi


    ng? Why does it taste so weird?” The milk she drank the other day tasted somewhat weird as well.


    “It‘s specially–made milk by One Piece Restaurant. Costs 888 per ss,” the man replied nonchntly.


    “888?” Veronica was bbergasted. Looking at the milk in the ss in bewilderment, she muttered, “Is thi


    s milk produced by a golden cow or something? Why is it so expensive?” As she spoke, she held her hea


    d up and drank up all the milk up to the veryst drop.


    Veronica simply thought that the milk was expensive, but she didn‘t know that Matthew merely had the m


    edicine that the doctor had prescribed for her added to it,


    and that the ss of milk wasn‘t that expensive at all.


    A faint smile appeared on Matthew‘s stony face when he saw that Veronica had finished the ss of milk


    . He then raised his eyes to look at the two buddies across from him, only to find two pairs of eyes starin


    g fixedly at him. The looks in their eyes were strange, with a hint of astonishment; it was as if they were i


    n disbelief.


    Matthew‘s smile froze, and the corner of his lips twitched slightly. “What


    are you guys waiting for? The food‘s gonna get cold if it‘s left uneaten.”


    Caleb nced at the dining room nearby with a faint smile. Then, he rubbed his nose with


    an affected smile


    on his taut face. “Okay, okay.” He was truly astonished, for Matthew would never have made do with havi


    ng meals on a coffee table in the past. As a cultured man, Matthew always carried himself with the dignifi


    ed air of a noble and was very particr about his lifestyle. How could he possibly have meals on


    the coffee table in the living room?


    Skyler, on the other hand, was appalled.


    Matthew opened a meal box containing shrimp and cheese ravioli.


    As soon as the meal box was opened, Veronica smelled the aroma of the ravioli. In an instant, she no long


    eaten bowl of porridge to Matthew, taking the opportunity to take the ravioli before him away.


    “Mm–hmm. You can have it if you like,” Matthew replied naturally.


    Nodding vigorously, Veronica picked up a ravioli and ate it. In an instant, her eyes widened, and she gave


    Matthew wasn‘t surprised by Veronica‘s abrupt move. The day he found her in the forest after she went m


    neut.


    However, Veronica thought the man was spurning her. “Don‘t wanna use the fork that has my saliva on it?N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Just as she was about to take back the fork and eat the ravioli herself, Matthew grabbed her hand and bro


    Her head tilted to one side, Veronica stared at Matthew with a look of anticipation, anxiously waiting for hi


    duper delicious?”


    “Not bad,” Matthew replied.


    “Not bad, you say?” Veronica knitted her brows as the smile on her face vanished at once. “You‘re too pic
