Chapter 1273 What Love Was About
"Do I get to decide?"
"Of course." She nodded.
"Then..."
A mischievous smile appeared on Matthew's face.
Just as he was about to make a request, the honking of a sedan interrupted him.
He then noticed a car parked next to his.
Matthew's eyes turned cold as he was interrupted right when he was excited. Still, he held Veronica's cheek and lightly kissed
her lips.
With a fleeting kiss, he let go of her, lowered the car window, and peered at the person outside.
"Is there something I can help you with, Your Highness?"
Matthew was getting a headache from how persistent the woman outside was.
A gentle breeze brushed by, making Eleanor's red dress flutter.
Her smile was as radiant as the sun when she brushed aside the strands of hair that were blown by the wind and crossed her
arms. "Master, do you not welcome me?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Matthew showed no mercy toward the beautiful woman.
His cold attitude showed his dislike for Eleanor.
As the esteemed leader of the hidden clan, Eleanor had never been treated so coldly by anyone before.
Instead of getting angry, she became more infatuated with Matthew. "What should I do? I came to find Goddess Veronica. You
can't refuse me, right?"
"She is my woman, so yes, I have the final say." His tone was frigid.
"Do I get to decide?"
"Of course." She nodded.
Eleanor didn't mind at all and directly opened the door of the back seat. "I want to talk to Veronica about something. You can
keep driving, Master."
However, Matthew didn't move after she finished speaking.
Eleanor rolled her eyes. "Huh. I've seen people who burn bridges after crossing them, but I've never seen someone who wants
to burn the bridge before crossing it."
While complaining, there was no trace of anger or dissatisfaction on her face. She even suggested, "You have successfully
opened One Piece Restaurant. Don't you want to invite me over for a meal?"
Veronica knew that Eleanor was clever, but she didn't expect her to know about these things as well.
For a moment there, it was hard for her to figure out what Eleanor's true thoughts were.
Eleanor was not one to follow a routine. Her thoughts were unfathomable.
"You didn't expose us in front of Zac. It would only make sense for us to treat you to a meal," Veronica spoke up.
After she finished speaking, Matthew immediately started the car and drove in One Piece Restaurant's direction.
"How unexpected. Master, you're a...what is it called?" She tried to remember the term they often used. "A-ha! A henpecked
husband."
She envied Matthew's love for Veronica.
However, his love was only limited to Veronica. Eleanor couldn't get any of it no matter how hard she tried. "I'm so envious."
Eleonor didn't mind ot oll ond directly opened the door of the bock seot. "I wont to tolk to Veronico obout something. You con
keep driving, Moster."
However, Motthew didn't move ofter she finished speoking.
Eleonor rolled her eyes. "Huh. I've seen people who burn bridges ofter crossing them, but I've never seen someone who wonts
to burn the bridge before crossing it."
While comploining, there wos no troce of onger or dissotisfoction on her foce. She even suggested, "You hove successfully
opened One Piece Restouront. Don't you wont to invite me over for o meol?"
Veronico knew thot Eleonor wos clever, but she didn't expect her to know obout these things os well.
For o moment there, it wos hord for her to figure out whot Eleonor's true thoughts were.
Eleonor wos not one to follow o routine. Her thoughts were unfothomoble.
"You didn't expose us in front of Zoc. It would only moke sense for us to treot you to o meol," Veronico spoke up.
After she finished speoking, Motthew immediotely storted the cor ond drove in One Piece Restouront's direction.
"How unexpected. Moster, you're o...whot is it colled?" She tried to remember the term they often used. "A-ho! A henpecked
husbond."
She envied Motthew's love for Veronico.
However, his love wos only limited to Veronico. Eleonor couldn't get ony of it no motter how hord she tried. "I'm so envious."
She then tilted her head and looked at Veronica. "I know your mother has always coveted the position of the head of the clan.
How about we make a deal?"
Veronica seemed to understand what she meant and raised an eyebrow. "Are you openly coveting my husband? That's not very
nice, is it?"
"I am a straightforward woman. I don't think there's anything wrong with it." She raised her hand and wrapped it around
Veronica's neck as though they were best friends. "Besides, your mother has coveted the head position for many years. Getting
the position in exchange for your husband sounds like a good deal, no?"
Hearing that, Veronica wasn't sure how much of what she was saying was true.
Still, she couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to use Matthew as a bargaining chip.
With a smile on her delicate face and a sharp glint in her clear eyes, she looked at Eleanor. "Your Highness, allow me to be
honest with you. Besides my two children, Matt is the most important person to me."
She had only known Matthew for a short time, but perhaps it was fate.
After they got together, they loved each other deeply and were willing to go through fire and water for each other.
Love was about meeting the right person at the right time.
