Chapter 462 I Like You

Miguel received a call from Skyler, asking him out for a picnic. Hence, Miguel asked, “What about

Matthew? Is he coming?”

Skyler remembered Veronica was there, so it wasn’t appropriate to call Matthew over. He declined

politely, “He’s crazily busy with work, so I didn’t invite him.”

Miguel didn’t think much about it and hung up the phone. However, he felt that not inviting Matthew

meant they would miss out on some fun, so Miguel still called Matthew to invite him over.

“I’m busy with work.” Sure enough, Matthew declined. Since breaking up with Veronica, Matthew had

turned into a workaholic. He worked non-stop, from day to night. It was as if he had gone crazy.

Miguel sighed in response. “Although work is important, you should take care of your health. Also, our

gang hasn’t spent time together for a while; we should meet-up sometime.”

Miguel’s words made Matthew unable to refuse, so he could only agree. After that, Veronica found the

most suitable place for a picnic and sent everyone an address. Skyler shared it with Miguel.

Then, Miguel said to Skyler on WhatsApp, ‘I called Matthew, and he said he would come.’ Seeing this

message, Skyler widened his eyes and wanted to stop Matthew from coming. However, after thinking

about it, Skyler knew Miguel would start to suspect things if he stopped Matthew.

If Miguel doesn’t go, I can’t meet my idol, Stephen Armstrong. After weighing the pros and cons, Skyler

muttered, “I’m sorry, Matt. Unfortunately, to meet my idol, you have to come along too.”

He couldn’t imagine what would happen when Veronica and Matthew met again, but Skyler couldn’t

care much. And so, Caleb, Skyler, and Miguel prepared the barbecue grills, ingredients, drinks, and the

like.

Then, they drove their respective cars and met at Qurra Mountain. The mountain was the most suitable

place for a barbecue.

There was a small stream at the foot of the mountain. The beach was to one side of the stream, and to

the other side lay Qurra Mountain.

Qurra Mountain had beautiful and pleasant scenery, and it was a good choice for a barbeque.

An hour later, the cars arrived at the foot of Qurra Mountain.

When Veronica stood at the foot of the mountain and waited for them, the first to appear was Monica.

Monica had hired a maternity matron to care for her child so she had the time to go out.

Then, Shirley and Caleb arrived.

However, Caleb brought Abby over too.

“She is on break, so I brought her over. You won’t be angry, right?” Caleb asked Veronica after greeting

Monica and Shirley.

Veronica teased, “You have already brought her here. I can’t chase her away, can I?” As she said that,

she looked at Abby and stepped forward, thereafter giving the girl a big hug. “It’s been a while. You’re

getting more beautiful.”

The last time Veronica met Abby was during winter. Abby’s face was chapped, and her hands were

covered with frostbite. After half a year, her face was clean. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and

Abby wore a white T-shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes. She looked like a cute girl and was attractive.

Everyone would like a girl like this.

As Abby and Veronica came from the same village, they knew each other.

Abby smiled and signed, Long time no see, Veronica. How are you doing?

However, Veronica was confused, as she could not understand sign language.

Caleb immediately stood up and acted as an interpreter. “Abby said it’s been a long time, and she asks

how you are doing.”

“Oh, I’m alright. Unfortunately, I was rather busy, so I didn’t have the time to visit you. However, since

you’re on semester break, you can visit me whenever you have some free time.”

Abby nodded. Okay, don’t blame me for annoying you.

Caleb translated again.

After chatting for a while, Veronica introduced Shirley and Monica to Abby, so they would get to know

each other.

Abby was worried it would be hard to communicate with them, so she typed out her words on her

phone.

At the same time, another car came and parked beside them.

Looking at the familiar car, Veronica frowned as a premonition arose.

Sure enough, she saw Matthew and Miguel get out of the car.

Veronica’s temple throbbed.

Why is he here?

Matthew looked at Veronica with the same look.

He stood beside the car and stared at Veronica with flickering eyes. His handsome face even showed a

hint of gloominess.

D*mn it! Why is Veronica here for the picnic? How dare Skyler lie to me?!

Miguel, too, was dumbfounded. “Uh… Hehehe, I didn’t know Veronica was here. I wouldn’t have come

if I knew she’s here.”

As he said, he turned around and looked at Matthew. “Forget it. Caleb is here too. You can stay; I’ll

leave now.”

The last time Miguel was in the Kings Residence, Elizbeth introduced Veronica to him. Since then, he

had avoided Veronica.

However, the world was too small. He now met her here.

Deep down, he wanted to run away.

And in reality, Miguel did exactly that.

He turned around and got into the car to start it, preparing to leave. Then, he saw Veronica run over

and grab the car door while ignoring Matthew. She said to Miguel with a smile, “Miguel, why did you run

away when you saw me? Do you really hate me this much?”

Miguel looked at Veronica, then looked away. However, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Matthew’s

fierce gaze.

He was in despair.

Veronica, I don’t hate you. However, I cherish my life and want to live longer.

“No, no! Of course not! I just remembered that I have something to do and have to go now. I will see

you next time.”

Maybe not. The more I see you, the more my life will be in danger.

“Why next time? We just met. Since we are meeting now, let’s have fun.”

Veronica tilted her head and smiled brightly. Then, she leaned forward and reached out, effectively

taking out the car key.

Miguel wanted to grab the key, but she hid the key behind her and raised her eyebrows. “You’re not

coming down? Should I say, pretty please?”

It was obviously a threat.

She meant that if Miguel did not come down, Veronica would attack him.

Miguel pursed his lips and felt a chill run down his spine.

It was especially the case when Matthew stood behind Veronica and he stared at Miguel. It made

Miguel break out in goosebumps.

“Veronica, please forgive me. We’re really not compatible. Right, we are not suited for each other.

Moreover, I found a girl I like.”

Miguel could only come up with an excuse to reject Veronica; otherwise, he was afraid he would die in

Veronica’s hands.

“Have you really found a girl you like? But I can tell it’s a lie.” Veronica shook her head. “Besides, even

if you find her, she should get in line behind me. After all, I like you too, and I will compete with that girl

to find out who is more suitable for you.”
