Chapter 398 It’s a Celebration
“I don’t want to talk about it. I made him so mad, he left.” Shey back down and stared at the ceiling in
silence.
“What happened? What kind of shitty stuff did you do this time to make him so mad?” She wanted to
gossip. For a moment, she forgot that she just went through a breakup.
Veronica sighed. “I… Well, he came to Castron so suddenly and called me. He wanted to know who I
was having lunch with, so I lied and said it was Mia. My friend gave me a ride back and he saw us, so
he got mad.”
“That’s all? Wow, he’s overreacting.”
“Um… Oh, we hugged too, and he flicked my forehead. That’s all. That’s all we did.”
“Hm, odd. Why is he so jealous of your friend? You’ve never been to Castron though, so why do you
have friends there?” Yvonne noticed something off about it.
Veronica answered honestly, “It’s Larry Freeman.”
“Wait, the Larry Freeman? The superstar?”

“Yep.”
“Hawt damn. I never knew you have a friend like him. He’s a hot and talented man. Handsome, gentle,
and he never gets into any scandal,” she said. Yvonne clicked her tongue. “No wonder Matthew got
jealous. Larry never gets into any scandal, but he hugged you. Of course Matthew took it the wrong
way.” Larry was one of the most innocent men in the industry and the only male star who had more
male than female fans. The guy was humble, down to earth, and contributed a lot to charity. He seldom
appeared in any movies, but every work he did was a box office hit.
“Um, is this my fault?” Veronica flicked her hair back and stopped to think. She then said, “There was
this one time where I jokingly told him that Larry’s my first love, and I bullshitted a lot. Even told him we
had sex too. He can’t have taken that seriously, right?” She did say that in the underground chamber
before.
“You’re done for, Roni. You’re done for.” She sighed. “Cupid tried his best to match you up, but you
managed to push him away for some reason. That’s… an achievement?”
“You’re exaggerating.” She thought that Matthew should not get angry over this. He did know that her
first love was Hendrey, but then he also said she might have dated Larry after breaking up with
Hendrey. Matthew hade all the way to Castron just to see her, but she had lied to him. I guess I did
go a bit too far. “What should I do?”
“Apologize, duh. Call him. What are you waiting for?”
“I’ll call him then, I guess,” she said. Veronica was about to hang up, but she asked, “Oh yeah. Why did
you call me in the first ce anyway?”
“Nothing. I just found out that Zac captured Conrad.” Yvonne still loved Conrad in the end, especially
since he was her baby’s father. She had no idea what to do.
“What? You’re keeping the child?”
“It’s already two months old, so I’m keeping it. Conrad’s a piece of scum, but the child is innocent.” She
heaved a sigh.
Veronica could see that she was wondering if she should keep the child. It had been two days. She
would have aborted it by now if she really didn’t want to keep the child. “I won’t tell you what to do, but
you should know what you’re in for if you’re carrying it to term. Think about your parents. Zac might not
ept it either. Think about it, even if you’re not marrying him.”
Veronica stopped at that point, and Yvonne fell into silence. Veronica then said, “I’ll call youter. I need
to call Matthew now.” She hung up.
Veronica called him right away, and she heard his ringtone vaguely, much to her surprise. She got out
of bed and went to the door, where the sound wasing from. She leaned her head against it and
heard his ringtone ying outside. What is he doing outside?
The ringtone stopped ying as she hung up. She opened the door at once, but his face was not the
first thing she saw. Instead, it was a gigantic bouquet of roses.
Matthew was standing right in front of her. He stared at her gently, a loving smile curling his lips.
“Happy birthday, Roni.”
The sudden twist surprised her. She looked at him, grateful and guilty at the same time, and she
pursed her lips. “Um…” There was a lump in her throat, and she was too touched to say anything. She
stared at the roses and smelled their lovely scent, which refreshed her. “Thank you.” She took the
flowers and held it in her arms, her face red. “I thought you’d be mad at me. I wasn’t being too nice.”
His cap was already gone. He pushed his fringe back and cocked his eyebrow. “I trust you.” He would
trust her, since he had chosen her. He did feel jealous after seeing her hug her friend, but he had other
ways of punishing her.
“You came all the way just to celebrate my birthday?”
“Of course.”
“Thank you, Matt.” She held his hand and took him into the room, and he closed the door after them.
Veronica tossed the bouquet on the couch and turned around to hug him, then kissed him passionately.
The kiss warmed his cold, cold heart. He wrapped his arm around her waist and stepped ahead.
Matthew put the cake that he was holding on the table before he picked her up and tossed her on the
bed, kissing her back more passionately.
Just when they were getting into the mood, someone knocked on the door and ruined it. Matthew’s
face fell, and a storm brewed in his eyes.
Veronica was amused by that look on his face. She pushed him away. “Get off me. I’ll see what it is.”
“Ignore them.” He took the remote control and pressed on a button to close the curtains. He then held
her and resumed the kiss.
However, Veronica’s phone rang right at the same time. She looked at it and was surprised to find that
Larry was calling her. She smiled sheepishly. “I’ll take this call.”
However, he had already taken her phone away and turned on the speaker.
“Hey, Demoness, I just remembered it’s your birthday today. Sorry for missing that the first time, but I’ve
sent room service over to give you your present. Just open the door and take it from them.”
