Chapter 77 - Dutiful Boyfriend... (1/2)

Reuben came down wearing a cream color shirt and peacock blue pants, rubbing his wet hair with his right hand. He was actually half ready for his office.

Not seeing the slim figure in the dining room, he searched in kitchen and there he found his girlfriend, plating a dish still wearing the bathrobe with her hair tied with a single clip on the back of her head.

Feeling a warm stare at her back, Veronica faced the door and after seeing the person there with a smile on his face, she also smiled back and took two plates in her hand.

Giving the two plates in Reuben's hand, she said to him, ”Keep these plates on the table. I'll bring the others.”

Reuben listened to her orders like a dutiful boyfriend and waited for Veronica to come with the other dishes.

While having their breakfast, Reuben observed Veronica, drinking her soup quite happily. That was why, he was reluctant about the fact that whether he should let her know today's big news or not.

But he finally agreed with the first one as he knew that she would definitely be aware of the truth somehow before or later. So it would be better if he himself broke the news to her.

Contemplating for another minute, he finally sighed and said, ”Baby.. I have something to tell you.”

Veronica tilted her head up to him and arched her eyebrows as she asked, ”What?”

Sighing again, Reuben stated, ”Well baby. Rather then saying, I would prefer to show you something.” And then he handed his phone to her after opening a certain webpage.

Taking the phone from his hand, Veronica scrolled down the pages and narrowed her eyes after scrutinizing every single word of the article.

After reading thoroughly, Veronica's expression hadn't changed at all which made Reuben quite suspicious.

But before Reuben could say something, Veronica moved her face towards him with a worried expression as she nervously said, ”What should I do now Bennie? I haven't ever thought that this could happen. Now everything is out of my hand. I.. I'm really scared now.”

Seeing his girlfriend's anxious face, Reuben raised his eyebrows and said in a same tensed voice, ”Right baby. I also haven't thought that you have to go through this difficulty. Now how will you handle this issue?”

Veronica's frown got deepened as she bit her lips nervously, ”I don't know.. I don't know anything Bennie..” she said as one teardrop fell from her left eye.
