Chapter 318 - Hidden secret... (1/2)

As soon as her eyes fell on the intruder who was none other than Reuben, she shrieked in an almost loud voice, ”You.... What are you doing here?? Most specifically, why are you here??”

Reuben smirked looking at her horrified face and said, ”First of all, I can come here any time I want. Secondly, the reason I came here is…”

He stopped and looked at Veronica with a serious face and put his hand on her head, slowly caressing her hair.

Veronica also stared back at him with a amazed expression as she felt the soothing touch of Reuben's fingers in her hair which was giving her a kind of comfortable feeling as she closed her eyes to feel it more eternally.

Reuben stopped the movement of his fingers, making Veronica open her eyes as he whispered in a low voice, ”I came here to.....pull your hair...”

Saying that he pulled her hair strands with a little force which made Veronica yell in utter pain, ”Ahhhhhh....”

”Hahaha.. It was so fun to torture you..” Reuben almost fell off the bed while laughing.

Veronica rubbed her scalp while giving him deadly glares as she growled at him, ”You idiot!! You came here to make fun of me.. Get lost right now before I kill you.”

”Vero...very bad habit. Didn't I always warn you not to behave this rudely with my son Reuben? But you never listen to me.”

Before Reuben could retort back at Veronica, Mrs. Lopez entered Veronica's room with a tray in her hand and scolded her daughter for the bad behaviour.

”Come on Mom. Now you don't start please. You don't know what had this idiot done with me. He pulled….” Veronica tried to complain but was stopped by Mrs. Lopez as she glared at her daughter, daring her to say anything more.

Veronica puffed her cheeks in anger and folded her hand while Reuben just grinned at her slyly.

Mrs. Lopez kept the tray on the table and told Reuben, ”Come on dear. Don't waste your time fighting with her and eat these tasty snacks. I made your favourite french fry and chicken lollipop for you..”

Reuben drooled, smelling the yummy fragrance of his favourite snacks. Rubbing his hands together excitedly like a kid, he pounced on the food and started crunching the French fries and chicken lollipops.

Veronica gawked at him and then posted towards her mother, ”You only bought these for him? Where is mine?”

”Obviously, she won't bring anything for you as she loves me the most.” Reuben teased Veronica as he dipped the fries into the sauce before munching it happily.

”Mom….” Veronica whined making both Reuben and Mrs. Lopez laugh at her.

”You go wash your face first. I've also brought snacks for you.” Mrs. Lopez said showing her another plate.

Veronica stuck her tongue out at Reuben before heading towards the washroom while Reuben just felt joy in his heart seeing her naughty side again.

Mrs. Lopez sighed at her daughter and said, ”Okay Reuben. You talk with Vero. I'm going downstairs. And you are leaving after dinner. I won't hear no from you. Understand?”
