Chapter 1272 We Are Family
This feeling left Veronica feeling both lost and helpless.
Though bitter in her heart, she knew she couldn't have it all.
"You misunderstood." Veronica explained, "He has always wanted to reveal his identity, but I have been
stopping him. Also, be careful of Eleanor. She is not as simple as she seems."
After saying that, Veronica didn't have much else to add. "Take care."
She then turned to Matthew. "Matt, let's go."
The two of them walked away from him in silence.
For Xavier, the scene seemed to unfold in slow motion. The person he loved was growing more distant
with each step.
His heart was torn apart. The pain was so intense that it felt like spasms, taking his breath away.
When will she ever take a proper look at me?
After Veronica and Matthew got into the car, Matthew started the sedan and slowly drove away.
Inside the car, Veronica leaned against the passenger seat, looking ahead, and sighed. "Offending Zac

cautious."
She was somewhat worried about Matthew's safety.
"Okay, my dear wife."
The man smiled and reached out to touch Veronica's cheek.
But as soon as his hand touched her delicate skin, she mercilessly slapped it away, instructing, "Focus
on driving."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Matthew was in a good mood. There was even a faint smile that he couldn't hide in his eyes.
Seeing him so happy, Veronica was puzzled. "You look like you're in a good mood."
"It's nothing. I just find it satisfying to see you slap Tiffany."
In the living room earlier, Tiffany kept accusing Veronica and Xavier of colluding with each other.
However, Veronica didn't hesitate to walk up and slap her.
As Veronica listened to Matthew's words, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then she smiled. "Is that
so?"
She was worried that Matthew would be upset not because she slapped Tiffany, but because Tiffany
slandered her and Xavier. Veronica's slap directly clarified the relationship between her and Xavier.
He was happy because of that.
Veronica's eyes dimmed at the thought of that. She turned her head and looked at Matthew. Pursing
her lips, she hesitated for a moment before bringing up, "Matthew, about yesterday... It was my fault. I
was being petty."
Matthew took her to the One Piece Restaurant. Soon after, when he was about to leave, she thought
Matthew would confront Xavier.
To her surprise, he went to see Zac.
Instinctively, she thought Matthew would be able to escape from Zac and would have a careful plan
before dealing with him.
So, when Matthew suddenly left, Veronica could only think of Xavier.
Excessive concern led to problems.

He held Veronica's hand tightly in his palm and softly reassured her, "What you owe him, I owe him too.
After all, we are family."
Matthew had always been clear about right and wrong.
And Xavier remembered how Veronica saved his life.
After being separated by Zac's men yesterday, he realized something was wrong. However, since he
couldn't escape quickly, he immediately contacted Skyler to come and protect Veronica.
Xavier just so happened to pass by and save her first.
As her husband, Matthew felt guilty about this.
"Matt, thank you."
Veronica was deeply moved.
"Is that all?"
He glanced at Veronica and parked the car on the side of the road, turning off the engine.
He then turned to her and asked, "Isn't a verbal 'thank you' too insincere?"
"Huh? How do you want me to express my gratitude, then?"
Veronica looked confused.
