A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Stella's voice was a little loud. Afraid that others would hear Stella, Veronica quickly covered Stella's mouth. "Lower your voice. Don't let anyone else hear you." Seeing how cautious and nervous Veronica was, Stella was sure that what Veronica had said was true.

To her surprise, Veronica was together with Raymond.

Stella wasn't exactly happy after learning that Veronica was with Raymond. Instead, Stella frowned. "Veronica, are you serious about this? Have you thought it through?"

In the past, no matter what Veronica did, Stella would always support her. But now Stella was questioning her decision. Veronica figured that Stella was afraid that she was acting on impulse. Veronica nodded. "I've already thought it through. Besides, I know what I'm thinking. The two of us are in love."

"You are in love." Stella frowned even more. "But..."

"But what?" Veronica felt that Stella's expression and reaction today were strange.

Stella looked into Veronica's eyes. She gritted his teeth and said, "Veronica, you need to be prepared for what I'm about to say."

Stella's serious expression somehow amused Veronica.

Veronica said, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so serious?"

Stella frowned. "Veronica, what I am about to say is very serious. Don't think that I am joking."

"What is it?"

"I have already heard that Shirley will not leave after returning to Peace City this time."

Veronica frowned.

Shirley returned to Peace City and would not leave from now on. What did this have to do with her and Raymond being together?

Stella met Veronica's strange gaze and continued to say, "Shirley won't leave, because... She is going to be engaged. She plans to stay in Peace City for her fiancé." Veronica's pupils contracted slightly, and her hands on her knees clenched.

Stella didn't continue, but Veronica had already figured something out.

Stella saw Veronica's pale face and realized that Veronica had probably figured it out. Although the truth was cruel, Stella went on.

"And I heard that her fiancé ... is Raymond." Stella paused for a moment. Then she continued, "Their engagement ... was fixed three years ago."

Stella's words shocked Veronica.

Veronica thought, 'Raymond and Shirley already have an engagement. Moreover, they got engaged three years ago.

How... How is this possible?

Raymond did not tell me this. If he was already engaged to Shirley, then why did he come to me? Why did he choose me to be his girlfriend? Raymond told me on the stairs last night that I took his first kiss. I thought he was telling the truth. I thought he had never had a girlfriend before. Was ... he lying to me?' After Stella finished speaking, Veronica remained silent, her face pale.

Stella looked at Veronica worriedly. "Veronica, are you alright?"

Veronica clenched her fists and forced a smile, saying, "Stella, I am fine."

"Veronica, why don't you call Mr. Cordova to confirm it? Maybe... I heard it wrong," Stella advised Veronica.

What Stella had said to Veronica before was just to remind Veronica. Perhaps Stella was wrong. It was always the wise choice to verify. What if Stella got it all wrong? Veronica held the phone in her hand.

Just as she was about to call Raymond, the bell for class suddenly rang.

Meanwhile, a burst of footsteps sounded outside the door.

Today's first class was again taught by Shirley.

Before, Veronica was always happy to see Shirley. But now, Veronica was full of mixed feelings.

Shirley, the person Veronica once admired the most, had become her love rival.

Veronica thought, 'No! If Raymond and Shirley are engaged, then... I will be the home wrecker, the home wrecker who destroys their marriage. That's a very shameful act.' Veronica was absent-minded for most of the class. She missed most of the contents.

When the class was about to end, Shirley asked everyone to comprehend the content of this lesson.

Among the students, someone suddenly asked Shirley.

"Ms. Hopper, can I ask you something?"

Shirley smiled at the student.

"Sure. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

"Ms. Hopper, it's not about the class content. I heard that you gave up your job as a diplomat in the capital and returned to Peace City. May I know why?" the student asked curiously. Shirley was stunned.

Obviously, she was surprised at the question.

After a short pause, Shirley smiled and said, "This is privacy."

"Ms. Hopper, just tell us!" another student echoed. "I heard that you returned to Peace City without hesitation because of your other half. Is that so?"

"That's right! Ms. Hopper, we are so curious. Just tell us!"This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

More and more students echoed, and Shirley looked helpless.

But she did not mind if more people knew about her feelings for Raymond, because... He was indeed the reason she came back to Peace City this time.

After a few seconds, Shirley nodded slightly. "It is because of one person that I returned to Peace City."

"Ms. Hopper, what is your relationship with that person? Is he your boyfriend? Or have you married already?"

Hearing that, Veronica clenched her fists.

Veronica's whole body tensed up.

She... wanted to know Shirley's answer.

Shirley looked at the students with a smile and said, "You all guessed wrong."

Veronica was relieved when she heard Shirley's answer.

She thought, 'By saying that, it means... Shirley has nothing to do with Raymond, and what Stella heard before was just hearsay.'

However, just as Veronica heaved a sigh of relief, Shirley, who was standing on the platform, smiled and said, "We are not dating, and we are not married. But we are engaged. Also... Our engagement was made three years ago."
