Chapter 36 - 36. Planted A Seed Of Fear… (2/2)

Reuben and Veronica were driving back to their bungalow, but Veronica didn't speak at all with Reuben for some reasons that Reuben also couldn't guess out.

Reuben tried to console her for many times but she didn't listen. Instead, she was busy with her phone, calling someone.

After calling for more than five times when the person didn't pick up her phone, Veronica become more frustrated and cut the call gritting her teeth.

Reuben frowned at her action and asked, ”What happened? Whom are you calling?”

Reuben's frown got deeper and he took the phone out of her hand and unlocked it. Then he checked the caller's name and couldn't help but chuckle.

Veronica pressed her eyebrows together, not understanding his meaning and asked, ”Why so?”

”Because your bestie is now busy with our 'newly become boyfriend' Henry.” Reuben chuckled again.

Veronica straightened her back and hold his left hand that was on the gear, and questioned him excitedly, ”What do you mean? Has Henry finally decided to propose her?”

”Well, my girlfriend is really clever. Even I think that the proposal has been already done and they both will be kissing each other now..” He winked.

Veronica clapped her hands together and exclaimed in joy, ”Yeyyyy.. Finally we will not be the only couple in our group. But I hope that stupid Henry would not mess up this time.”

Reuben caught her hand and kissed it, as he said, ”Don't worry. This time he will not dare to back off, because I planted a seed of fear in him about Lucinda to marry another guy.”

”You are really a big tease.” Saying this, the couple bursted in laughter...
