A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Veronica was also stubborn, and she pushed the money back again.

"No, Mrs. Comte, you have to take this money. Otherwise, I will be uneasy."

"What's there to be uneasy about? Take it as I said. After all, you saved my life before." Winy put on a serious expression and pushed the money to Veronica. "If you insist, I will be angry."

Veronica sighed and pushed the money back, "Mrs. Comte, even if you are angry, I have to return the money to you. If you don't accept it, I will not eat anything today."

Winy saw Veronica's stubbornness and knew that she could not persuade Veronica, so she sighed and put the money away.

"You... Fine. I'll take it. Are you satisfied now?"

A smile reappeared on Veronica's face. She nodded and said, "Sure."

"But I will treat you to this meal today. You are not allowed to refuse me again."

"All right. I'll do as you said," Veronica smiled in agreement.

"By the way, I haven't heard you mention your parents. Are your parents also in Peace City?" Winy asked out of curiosity.

She wondered what kind of parents could raise such a good daughter like Veronica.

Veronica's smile did not change. "I am an orphan raised by my adoptive parents."

When Veronica first heard that she was an orphan, she felt very sad. After such a long time, now she no longer felt that the fact sounded very sad.

Winy changed her expression slightly.

"What? An orphan?"

"Yes." Veronica nodded calmly. "I also recently learned that my parents are my adoptive parents. When I was a child, I grew up in an orphanage and was adopted by my adoptive mother when I was five years old. But all my memories before I was five years old were gone. I heard from my adoptive mother that I was a child abandoned by my biological parents."

Winy felt inexplicably distressed and couldn't help holding Veronica's hand. "Good girl. How could your parents be willing to abandon you? It just so happens that I only have one child. How about... I take you as my goddaughter. This way, you will have one more mother."

"Thank you, but that doesn't seem appropriate, Mrs. Comte." Veronica looked at Winy in surprise. "I am not the daughter of a famous family. I am not suitable to be your goddaughter. You will be laughed at." "What's there to laugh about?" Winy held Veronica's hand tightly, and she was reluctant to let go of it. "When I first saw you, I liked you very much. Can you be my goddaughter?" Veronica didn't feel happy to receive such great hospitality.

She quite liked Winy, but...

"Did

you consider your adoptive parents?" Winy added. "How about this? Find a chance and call out your adoptive parents. Let's have a meal together and discuss."

A discussion with her adoptive parents. Seriously?

Veronica quickly waved her hand. "Mrs. Comte, you don't have to go through so much trouble. How about this? Give me two days to think about it. When I have thought it through, I will answer you, okay?" After hearing Veronica say this, Winy smiled again and nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, then two days. I will call you in two days. When the time comes, you can't go back on your word."

"I know."

Veronica was overwhelmed by the sudden offer of Winy to recognize her as a goddaughter.

In the evening, Veronica returned to the residential area where Stella lived.

The sun, which was about to set, shined a golden radiance all over the ground, and the warmth was perfect for people to feel. The two sat side by side against the sunset.

Stella was surprised when she heard Veronica say that Winy wanted to recognize Veronica as a goddaughter. "Are you talking about Winy from the Comte Group? She wants to recognize you as her goddaughter, seriously?"

"Yes," Veronica replied with a distressed expression.

"This is a good thing. Why do you have a bitter face?"Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"How is this a good thing? I have never thought of becoming a rich and powerful lady. And Mrs. Comte's daughter, Zoey, has always been prejudiced against me."

Stella was suddenly enlightened.

"That's right. I almost forgot. Zoey is still in the family. And... She is Justin's fiancée. So you shouldn't accept the offer. If you become a goddaughter of Mrs. Comte, wouldn't you be the brother-in-law of Justin?" Veronica rolled her eyes. "I haven't reached that stage yet."

"I mean if." Stella shrugged. "Then just refuse Mrs. Comte."

Veronica sighed and said, "It's just that Mrs. Comte is too kind to me. I can't bear to refuse her."

"Do you want to be a sister to your ex-boyfriend's wife?"

Veronica thought for a while.

Then she said, "Justin and I have never been together."

"But he once pursued you."

Veronica didn't reply.

Stella said again, "So? Just refuse."

It was getting late, so Veronica and Stella walked towards the building they lived in.

Just as they entered, a person expressionlessly followed behind them and entered the elevator.

Veronica and Stella were both laughing and joking, and because of their banter, they didn't notice the unusual appearance of the person behind them.

The person watched Veronica and Stella walk out of the elevator and saw the two stop in front of a door before pressing the elevator door.

The moment the elevator door closed, the person took out a cell phone.

And the person said, "Hey, I already know where they live."

There was a silver car parked in a parking spot on the road outside the community. The rear window was half open, and the smoke inside was lingering. One could vaguely see that the man's head and hands were covered with gauze.

This person was none other than Rodger, who had been beaten badly two days ago on the highway.

He blew out a smoke ring and said, "All right. Try to call Veronica out later."

Veronica...

It was this morning that Rodger learned through various channels that the person who saved Shirley was Veronica.

If not for this stinky woman, his plan would not have failed, and he would not have been treated as a bastard. He hid for a night, and he had been beaten like this.

Rodger regarded Veronica as the culprit behind all this.

If he did not teach Veronica a lesson, it would be difficult to resolve the hatred in his heart.

In the evening, Veronica and Stella sat in the living room watching TV. It was a very melodramatic soap drama, but when they saw the protagonists in the drama being forced to separate in the face of death, they still cried in a mess.

After watching the drama, Stella went to take a shower. Veronica was about to brush her teeth and wash her face to start listening practice.

Just as she was about to put on her headphones, someone knocked on the door.

Veronica stood up and looked out from the peephole. She saw a person who seemed to be the neighbor next door.

Veronica had been to Stella's residence many times and often met her neighbors, so Veronica knew the person who knocked on the door.

Because they were neighbors, Veronica quickly opened the door.

"What can I do for you?" Veronica opened the door and asked.
