Chapter 686


    "I have put on weight! I will turn into a pig if I continue eating."


    Veronica had been controlling her weight without going overboard. She was already exercising to lose


    weight during confinement.


    "Have you considered how a pig might feel when you say something like that?" Matthew teased in


    return.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    She immediately burst outughing before nagging him solemnly, "The fatter a pig is, the more popr


    it is. It is a lifelong thing for a woman to maintain her figure. Won''t I be pitiful if you dump me for a


    young and beautiful wife one day because I no longer take care of my appearance?" "Are you sure I


    am the one who would dump you and not the other way around?" Matthew took a sip of wine and


    raised his eyebrows meaningfully.


    Following Matthew''s ''death'', and in the order of session, Veronica was the first in line to inherit all


    his properties. Matthew had nothing in his name now.


    In the blink of an eye, Veronica had be the richest woman in Bloomstead.


    Even she was surprised by the revtion when she was handling the various transfer procedures.


    "I have been wondering about how confident you are to leave so much property under my name."


    The two hadn''t discussed it beforehand, and she had guessed the truth. Even though Matthew had


    faked his death, she knew that he didn''t care about the property since he was willing to do so.


    However, they weren''t talking about anything less than a billion. It was a sum that totaled to trillions.


    Veronica was as touched as she was d to find such a great man after knowing how much he trusted


    her.


    "I have always had faith in my taste." While he spoke, his clear eyes were burning passionately as he


    looked at the woman he loved.


    "Thank you." Veronica was moved from the bottom of her heart.


    "Thank you for never leaving my side, Matt."


    She couldn''t believe how fortunate she was to have met him.


    "I have always wondered what would I do if you weren''t here. Do I really have to surrender to fate?"


    If she hadn''t gotten to know Matthew and he hadn''t fallen in love with her, she would have been very


    passive and helpless when it came to matters regarding the hidden n.


    The only reason why Crayson and Destiny were obedient to Veronica was because she was the future


    head of the hidden n.


    However, Veronica didn''t want to be the head as she had no control over how things would pan out


    once she returned there.


    "Our meeting in this life is probably for me to repay you for your kindness in our past life." "Past life?"


    She found it hard to imagine a non-believer of the supernatural like Matthew to say something like this.


    "How would I have found you in a sea of people if you hadn''t done good deeds and umted good


    karma in your past life?" After saying that, he brought up an example to emphasize his point. "I


    wouldn''t have had the opportunity to dine with you now if you hadn''t saved me that day."


    It was all fate at work.


    It was as though the world worked in mysterious ways that brought them together.


    "Come. Let''s toast to our fate. Here''s to our meeting, our getting to know each other, and our future."


    Veronica took her wine ss from the table and lightly clinked it against his. "May we spend eternity


    together." "Oh my, is my Roni envious of couples who grow old together?" "Of course! That is what a


    lifetime love truly means." "Alright."


    Matthew bumped his ss against hers again.


    Just as Veronica was about to raise the ss and take a sip of wine out of it, she was stopped by


    Matthew, who told her to wait.


    "What is wrong?" She paused and looked at him with careful eyes, only to see him get up and walk


    around the table to stand in front of her.


    "Stand up, please." He pulled her by the hands to help her up. "We should have had our own wedding


    toast on the wedding night. We didn''t have the chance to do it before, but we can''t skip out on it."


    There was an incident on the wedding day, which made them miss the toast. Not only that, they didn''t


    even have the opportunity to have alcohol together when they met in the forest on the outskirts


    ofCastron.


    Matthew couldn''t miss it this time around.
