A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

However, in the afternoon, Raymond suddenly called. He said that his evening meeting was canceled, and he would come to the school to pick her up. Veronica, who originally planned to stay in the school, thought for a moment after receiving a call from Raymond. She then asked Raymond to pick her up from the back door of the school.

She finally finished all her classes in the afternoon. Veronica hurriedly left the school and ran to the back door.

When she reached the back door, Veronica carefully looked around. After making sure that Marley was not near her, Veronica was relieved.

She saw that Raymond's car had just stopped not far from the back door. Veronica seemed to have stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the door like a gust of wind. She ran to the side of the car, then opened the door, and got in.

When Veronica got into the car, the car had only stopped for less than three seconds. Raymond even held his phone in his hand and was about to call Veronica. Before he could call, Veronica had already gotten into the car.

Raymond looked at Veronica in surprise. While Veronica was gasping for breath after getting into the car.

"What happened? Why are you running so fast?"

"Nothing, hurry up and drive!" As soon as she got in the car, Veronica immediately urged Devin to drive.

Devin drove Raymond to pick up Veronica. Now that Veronica got in the car, Devin did not stay there anymore. Instead, he started the car and left school.

After the car left, Veronica, who had been staring at the school door, finally relaxed.

Raymond felt that there was something strange about Veronica.

"Did something happen to you at school?" Raymond frowned.

Veronica avoided Raymond's eyes. "Nothing."

Regarding Marley, she wanted to solve it herself and did not want to trouble Raymond.

Since Veronica didn't want to talk about it, Raymond gave up asking more questions. He secretly thought that he had to investigate what had happened later.

After Veronica got into Raymond's car and left, a gloomy figure slowly walked out of the store not far from the school door. The man stared fiercely at Veronica's back as she left.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a restaurant, and the doorman immediately led Veronica and Raymond in.

The food in this restaurant was not bad. Veronica enjoyed herself very much. She was full, but she still wanted to eat more.

When she put down her fork, she realized that Raymond wasn't eating. Instead, he was sitting at the side, staring at her with a pair of bottomless eyes.

She picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth. Her eyes blinked. "What are you looking at?"

The waiter came in from outside the door. Raymond took out a card from his leather wallet and handed it to him. He asked the waiter to pay the bill.

He then said meaningfully, "Next time, we can order more food."

The two of them finished all the food on the table. As far as she knew, Raymond had not eaten much the entire time, and most of the food had entered her stomach.

Hearing him say this, Veronica's face turned red. He meant that she was a foodie.

She lowered her head and rolled her eyes at him, muttering in a low voice, "I didn't eat it alone."

After a while, the waiter sent Raymond's card and their dinner bill. The two of them got up and prepared to leave. Before leaving the room, Raymond called Devin in advance and asked Devin to drive outside and wait. Then, the two of them were ready to leave the restaurant.

It was probably because the food in this restaurant was really famous. There were many people there for dinner.

Before Veronica and Raymond left the restaurant, they met Jackson and Winy in the hall. There was another person with them, Justin.

Winy was the first to recognize Veronica.

"Veronica, how nice to see you here." Winy happily took two steps forward and warmly held Veronica's hand.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Veronica was a little flattered. She wanted to break free from Winy's hand. But because she was held tightly by Winy, she did not succeed. "So it was Mrs. Comte!"

Raymond was a little surprised when he saw Winy's attitude toward Veronica.

As for Justin, when he saw Veronica, his gaze seemed to be glued to her.

However, when he looked at Raymond, he politely nodded at Raymond. The corners of Raymond's mouth curled up as a correspondence. Then, Raymond and Jackson also nodded at each other. "Come here, Veronica!" Winy enthusiastically pulled Veronica over to Jackson. Her eyes were on Veronica's face, and her happiness could not hide. "Jackson, take a look. This is the Veronica I mentioned to you before!"

Jackson sized up Veronica with a pair of slightly turbid but bright eyes.

Veronica nodded awkwardly at Jackson. "Hello, Mr. Comte."

Hearing the way Veronica called Jackson, Winy was dissatisfied. "You just call us Winy and Jackson, OK?"

Veronica was in a quandary.

She was a wise girl.

It was true that Winy liked her, but Jackson was not. She saw inquiry, vigilance, and a trace of indifference in Jackson's eyes. Jackson did not like her.

"Mrs. Comte, are you here to have dinner too?" Veronica changed the topic to ease the embarrassment.

Winy nodded happily. "Yes. Just now, I was with Jackson and Justin. We accompanied a client who came back from abroad. I saw you when I came out."

What a coincidence!

"OK, I see."

"By the way, Veronica, why did you come here?"

Veronica suddenly felt as if she had been caught red-handed. Afraid that Winy and the others would see through her, Veronica explained to Winy in a panic, "Well, it's a business dinner too. I was in the role of a translator, so here I am."

As she spoke, Veronica glanced behind her out of the corner of her eyes, hoping that Raymond would say something to help her cover up.

Raymond stood there as steady as a mountain, and he kept silent.

Winy didn't doubt her at all, still looking at Veronica happily.

"I see. You and Mr. Cordova appeared here at the same time, probably because of work."

"Yes!" Veronica pretended to smile casually. In fact, her back was already covered in a layer of cold sweat.

She was so scared that she almost exposed herself.

She secretly glanced at Raymond again. Raymond's face darkened. It seemed that someone had offended him.
