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 he
r 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 Mast
er Matthew is inside. I‘ll be going down first.” It would be improper for him, a personal assistant, to y g
ooseberry 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 rea
ching the door to the living room, she knocked on the door, which opened automatically for her to go insi
de.
In the living room, Skyler was bombarding Matthew with questions about Veronica, whereas Caleb sat as
ide and listened quietly without saying a word. When the living room door suddenly opened, they looked
at the door and saw Tiffanying in.
Skyler‘s eyes widened involuntarily; he grabbed Caleb‘s arm and pinched it hard. “Holy sh*t, why‘s she h
ere? It‘s lucky that Veronica‘s gone. Otherwise, wouldn‘t she have caught Matt in the act?” he whispered
to himself.
However, as soon as he finished his sentence, Matthew immediately shot him a threatening re, sendin
g 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 j
ust now that something was going on between Veronica and Matthew, but her mind was put to rest when
she saw Skyler and
Caleb. She thought she had worried too much just now. Even if Veronica dide, it was a best becaus
e Matthew had something to give her. After all, Veronica was Elizabeth‘s god granddaughter, so it was un
derstandable 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 ttered her against his conscience, saying, “Ho ho, o
ur gifteddy is here! You‘ve be prettier since Ist saw you several days ago.” Luckily, he flirted wit
h women all the time and was often apanied by gorgeousdies, so these words of ttery came 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 inste
ad.” Tiffany came to Matthew‘s side and sat down. Seeing the sumptuous breakfast on the coffee table, s
he asked, “Matthew, why are you guys having breakfast sote in the morning?”
“Drew and Caleb ordered these since they hadn‘t eaten breakfast,” Matthew replied. Skyler was the fourt
h child in his family, so Matthew and the others called him “Drew,” a nickname that originated from the wo
rd “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 eag
erly yed along.
Seeing how the two men echoed each other‘s words, Tiffany believed their story, and her bad mood just
now instantly disappeared. Sitting beside Matthew, she pursed her lips slightly while turning to look at the
handsome man who would soon be her groom. At the thought of this, she felt
exhrated. 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 make
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 Tiny 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 cared
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. Fin
ally 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 t
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 he
be the best men at Matthew and my wedding. Shall we go and pick out our attire together?” As Matthew‘s
Skyler had a warm personality. Now
that a beautifuldy was inviting him, he wouldn‘t turn her down, of course, so he nodded and agreed with
thinking.
As

he shouldn‘t have epted Tiffany‘s invitation. That being said, what was said couldn‘t be unsaid. He scra
“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. It w
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 forwar
to this moment. Now that her dream wasing true, this was even more surprising to her than winning t
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 bing Matthew‘s wife, she would beat thousands of women to the
