Chapter 542 The Baby Is to be Born
Although Skyler was yelling in an agitated tone, Matthew was still calmly reading the document. Parting
his thin lips, he slowly asked, “What’s the matter?”
It was as if Matthew had gotten used to Skyler’s carefree personality and felt that the emergency Skyler
claimed was not really an emergency at all.
“It’s—” Skyler was a little hesitant as he was unsure if the child in Veronica’s womb was Matthew’s.
Then, he tried again, “Y-You’d better mentally prepare yourself.”
At last, Matthew finally closed the file and looked up at Skyler. “You better have something really
important to tell me.”

“Of course!” Skyler hurriedly nodded. After hesitating for a while, he said, “Earlier, my friend invited me
to his hospital to check out a rare case, and—”
“Get to the point.”
“The point is that I found out Roni is pregnant, so…” Skyler drew out his words while staring at
Matthew, and he noticed that Matthew was giving him a cold stare while his eyebrows twitched. As
such, Skyler thought that the child wasn’t Matthew’s, which is why he muttered, “The father might be…
someone random?”
Matthew raised his eyes as he shot a cold gaze at Skyler. Then, he slammed the documents on the
table at Skyler. “I’m the random man you’re talking about!”
“What? Is it really you?”
Needless to say, Skyler was still surprised.
He hung his head in thought and muttered, “No wonder I saw Roni looking lost at that moment. You
broke up with her, after all. However, she is pregnant, which is obviously why she’s sad. A-After all, you
already lost a child.”
As he said that, Skyler placed the ultrasound examination report on the table.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMatthew picked up the report and read it with a dark expression. Then, he leaned against the executive
chair and subconsciously picked up the phone to call Veronica.
However, he hesitated when he unlocked his phone and tapped on Veronica’s contact.
Eventually, he slowly placed the phone on the table.
Instead, he pulled out a cigarette from the case and lit it to have a smoke while leaning on the chair.
Then, he fell into a long silence.
Matthew’s reaction made Skyler confused. “Hey, Matt. W-What’s with this reaction? The child is all
yours, so why don’t you hurry up and ask Roni?”
Skyler felt like a back-seat driver.
Seeing Matthew was calm and did nothing, Skyler was anxious for his friend.
“Don’t tell anyone about this.”
Matthew’s cold eyes turned to Skyler, his gaze full of warning.
“What do you mean?”
Skyler was utterly baffled as he was confused about what Matthew was thinking. “It’s such a big deal,
so why don’t you contact Roni?”
Contact? Of course I want to contact her. Moreover, the only thing I want is to be by Veronica’s side
right this moment. However, Veronica hid the news of her pregnancy from me repeatedly. Then, she
lied that she went shopping with Ruka, only to go to the hospital for a checkup. If it wasn’t for Skyler
accidentally seeing her in the hospital, I don’t even know how long she will hide this from me.
“When you had an accident in Castron, Roni called me. She said she knew that you still had feelings
for her. Why don’t you guys… get together again?”
Skyler was worried as he looked at Matthew’s stony expression.
“Look, you’re rich and influential. Soon, you will have twins. You’re at the peak of your life. Roni is so
beautiful, and her personality is both spicy and sweet. Not to mention she is skilled, intelligent, and
wise. Matt, she’s a keeper. Old Mrs. Kings has been looking forward to your child for many years. I’m
sure she’ll be happy for a long time to know Roni is pregnant with twins. Would you like to guess if it is
a pigeon pair, or is it two boys or two girls?”
The talkative Skyler rambled on and on.
Hence, Matthew flicked the ashes at the ashtray while holding the cigarette butt between his fingers
and coldly glanced at Skyler. “Shut up.”
The nagging made Matthew have a headache.
“Matt, what are you doing? You have twins; shouldn’t you celebrate it right now? Why are you trying to
shut me up?” Skyler rolled his eyes. “I won’t shut up, and I shall call our brothers out to celebrate for
you.”
“You can continue with your plan if you have a death wish.”
Matthew said that in a low voice, effectively shutting Skyler up.
…
After taking a walk alone, Veronica drove to First Meeting.
Crayson, the security guard, saw Veronica the moment she arrived at the entrance of First Meeting and
had just gotten out of the parking lot.
Crayson was immediately happy. “Hey, why are you here, little brat?”
Then, he walked up to her dressed in a navy blue security uniform with a smile. However, he
immediately noticed she looked down in the dumps, so he asked in concern, “What’s the matter? You
look pale.”
Upon hearing that, Veronica pointed at the rest area outside the company. “I have something to talk to
you about.”
So, they walked to the rest area under the sunshade. After pulling out a stool and sitting down,
Veronica couldn’t help but sigh.
“What happened?”
Grayson sat opposite Veronica. Veronica had a sad and long face, so it was easy to know she had
something on her mind.
“I…” Veronica stammered and looked up at Crayson as she mumbled, “I’m pregnant.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What?” Crayson was stunned for a moment. Then, he slapped the table and stood up while pointing at
Veronica. “That’s ridiculous!”
Like most parents, knowing their child was pregnant could be overwhelming.
As Veronica’s master, Crayson placed high hopes and trust in Veronica like a father. However, he was
still furious when he heard the news.
Veronica lowered her head while picking at her nails uneasily as her thoughts were in disarray.
There are things that I really don’t want to tell Master Crayson. However, my situation is unique, so I
can’t hide it from him.
Seeing Veronica didn’t say a word, Crayson moved his chair angrily and sat down to glare at Veronica.
“What’s your plan?”
“I don’t know.”
Her mind was in a mess, and she hadn’t come up with a solution.
That day Crayson told her that she was scheduled for six months of training. Now that she was
pregnant, the plan was put on hold.
It wasn’t long before he returned to the hidden clan, so it was a real dilemma where the child would go.
“Abort the child!”
Crayson gave a definite answer and also made his stance clear.
Veronica was not surprised by Crayson’s answer, so she replied calmly, “It’s twins.”
“Twins?”
It’s already a sin aborting a child, not to mention two children…
This stumped Crayson.
After thinking about it, he asked, “Does Matthew know?”
Veronica shook her head. “Not yet. However, I have no intention of telling him either.” After dropping
her head for a long time, Veronica suddenly raised her head and said firmly, “However, I will keep the
children.” She had made her stand. She then murmured, “I came here today because I wanted to
discuss something with you. It’s about leaving Matthew.”
From the day Veronica learned her identity, she had thought about not involving Matthew.
He’s already sacrificed too much, so I don’t want him to get involved anymore. After all, he has nothing
to do with any of this.
