Chapter 618 The Ongoing Wedding Ceremony
The moment Veronica tried to leave, Matthew pulled her into his embrace with his arms around her
waist. “Let me look at you a little longer.”
Bending over, he kissed her lips as though he could never get enough of it. His warm lips captured hers
and the faint cologne fragrance enveloped her. That familiar scent stirred her breathing and heartbeat.

Since it was a happy occasion, it took a little intimate affection in such a fluttering atmosphere for her to
fall into the abyss. Knock. Knock. Knock.
“Matt, are you done?” Skyler’s voice resounded beyond the door while the couple were being all lovey-
dovey. Matthew’s movement came to a halt as his expression darkened. Slightly irritated, he pulled
Veronica out of the bedroom.
“Hurry! The guests are waiting for you guys,” urged Shirley, who was present as well. They headed

playing in the background, it could not drown the gushing.
At some point, the couple finally walked to Conrad’s table, where George, Pepper, Nicholas, and Delphi
were around too. Matthew made a toast with them at the same time.
“Uncle George, Aunt Pepper, Uncle Nicholas, Aunt Delphi, thank you for coming to our wedding,” said
Matthew gently while holding his glass of champagne to clink with their glasses.
Even if they were usually at odds with Matthew, he did not mind them, since it was Veronica and his big
day. He would not want to ruin the wonderful wedding.
George glanced at Veronica while sitting. “Matthew, you’re still too young. I hope you won’t regret it in
future.”
Pepper added, “Veronica is indeed pretty, but the prettier a woman is, the more dangerous she is.”
Delphi rolled her eyes at Veronica. “I just don’t get it. How could you fall for a woman with no class like
her? She beat us up that day! I’m not letting her off the hook that easily!”
Nicholas snorted coldly before gulping his drink in one-go. “Old Mrs. Kings is giving you too much
liberty. I think she’s on a spell or she wouldn’t have supported you guys.”
Then, Matthew’s cousins began to stop them in ones and twos. “Dad, cut out the nonsense. It’s
Matthew’s wedding.”
“Yeah, Mom. I think Veronica is a knowledgeable one. They are a match made in heaven!” “Geez!
Uncle George, Aunt Pepper, it doesn’t matter as long as Matthew likes her, isn’t it?”
“It’s destined for them to love each other. I think they’re the perfect match, though. I’m sure about one
thing—they’re a good-looking pair.”
“I’m with Scarlet. I think she’s right.”
…
Matthew’s cousins had a different attitude toward him; they stood up and gave their sincere wishes to
the couple. Matthew was displeased by the elderly seniors and almost drove them out, yet Veronica
shook his hand lightly and glared at him, motioning him not to act recklessly.

them to her, “Roni, this is Scarlet, Cleo, Riley, and Jody.”
Next, he looked at the gang while pointing at her. “Veronica.” Since Flavian was the eldest, Matthew
was naturally the eldest amongst his cousins. “Veronica, congratulations! Wishing you all the love and
happiness.”
“Best wishes!”
“I’m hoping for your happiness.”
“Veronica is so pretty! Lucky you, Matt!”
…
They made a toast with Veronica, who returned a polite smile. “Thank you so much.”
After that, the couple approached Conrad. Since Conrad was Matthew’s uncle, he was obliged to
attend the wedding. However, he did not act suspicious that day despite their history. Perhaps it was
because of Elizabeth… or other reasons.
