If she didn’t say anything, no one would even notice that she was pregnant.
“Your wedding is in just over a month, and now you’re…” Shirley lowered her voice in the school restaurant’s private room. “You’re pregnant. Are you really not planning to take a temporary break from school, give birth after the wedding, and then return to school?”
Although there was no one else in the private room at the moment, and there were even bodyguards sent by the Reed family outside, Shirley still instinctively lowered her voice when she mentioned the pregnancy.
After all, at the moment, people at school only knew that Veronica was going to marry into the Reed family in two months, but the pregnancy was still a secret.
“My health is still good for now. I plan to take a break from school after the wedding, go on a honeymoon, give birth to the baby, and then see how my body is doing before deciding when to return to school,” Veronica said.
This was also the decision she and Mason had made after discussing it.
After all, after the wedding, her belly would become more and more noticeable. It would be more eye-
catching to walk around the school with a big belly, so it was better to take a break from school, give birth, and then return to school.
“I’m looking forward to your and Mason’s baby. I’m sure it will be very cute,” Shirley said with anticipation.
“After the baby is born, how about being the godmother?” Veronica asked. Shirley looked surprised and asked, “Are you serious?”
“Do you think I’m joking?” Veronica laughed.
“But can I really be the godmother of your child?” Shirley asked.
“Why not?” Veronica asked in return.
“You’re the eldest grandson of the Reed family, and I…” The difference in status is too great.
“If Mason were just an ordinary person and I were pregnant, would you still have a problem being the godmother?” Veronica asked.
“Ah!” Shirley was stunned.
Veronica continued, “You’re my friend, you’ve helped me a lot, and you were the first to find out about my pregnancy. If it weren’t for you reminding me, I might have taken stomach medicine or other drugs, and this child might not have been born. So it’s only right for you to be the godmother of this child, isn’t it?” Veronica said.
Shirley smiled awkwardly and said, “Then…I’ll be the godmother of this baby for real!”
“Not just this baby, if I have other children in the future, you’ll be the godmother too!” Veronica said.
“And your child’s godmother, I’ve already decided.”
“Great!” Shirley smiled broadly.
Just then, Veronica’s phone rang, it was a text message about her bank card.
But when Veronica saw the contents of the message, her expression became blank, as if she couldn’t come back to her senses.
“What’s wrong?” Shirley leaned over and glanced at her friend’s phone, and then she too looked stunned.
“Is this…a real message or a prank?” After all, the amount of money transferred in the message was too shocking. At a glance, there were n zeros after the 2, was it 20 million? Or…uh, 200 million?
“I… will make a phone call to ask,” Veronica said, and dialed the bank’s customer service number directly.
The answer she received confirmed that the 20 billion transfer was indeed real.
Veronica quickly called Mason to inquire about the situation.
Upon hearing the news, Mason simply said, “Your parents mentioned that they wanted to give you a sum of money as a dowry, so you can buy whatever you want with it. If it’s not enough, just let them know.”
“Veronica suddenly felt speechless. 20 billion, and it still might not be enough?
Was it because he had no concept of money, or because she was too inexperienced?
“Is this enough money?” He added at the end.
“Yes, it’s enough!” Veronica quickly replied, “This money ist more than enough. Should I tell Uncle
Reed and Auntie Grace that this money is too much if they give it to me?”
“Just take it. If you return the money to them now, they might think there’s a problem between us,”
Mason said. “If you don’t know how to spend the money right now, just save it for later. You can think about it when you’re pregnant and resting at home after the wedding.”
”
Veronica was speechless again. She probably couldn’t spend this 20 billion in her lifetime.
After ending the call with Mason, Veronica looked at her curious and gossipy friends around her and cleared her throat. “Um, this money is probably… my dowry.”
“Dowry?” Shirley widened her eyes and stuttered, “As expected of a wealthy family, you can probably make it onto the female rich list of Emerald City now.”
Veronica thought about it and realized that she now had a net worth of 20 billion?!
“Veronica, you will definitely be very happy in the future!” Shirley sincerely wished her friend well.
Even though the Reed family is the wealthiest in Emerald City, their willingness to give 2 billion to their future daughter-in-law proves their value of Veronica. Shirley is genuinely happy for her friend.
“Thank you, Shirley. I’m sure you’ll be happy too in the future,” Veronica said.
“I’ll hold you to that!” Shirley replied, and the two girls burst into laughter.
Wedding photos are an important step before getting married.
Since Veronica’s belly is not yet visible, they quickly completed this step. However, to prevent her from getting too tired, the wedding photos were almost all arranged indoors. They only took one set of outdoor photos, and in the team, there were also obstetricians, nurses, and a nanny assistant to take care of
Veronica.
Overall, Veronica felt like a VIP panda with the treatment she received during the photo shoot. She didn’t even have to lift a finger to drink water, as someone would bring the cup directly to her lips.
Several people worked on her makeup and hairstyle at the same time, which greatly saved her time.
After everything was done, Veronica looked at herself in the mirror wearing a white wedding dress, with exquisite makeup, and almost couldn’t recognize herself.
It must be said that top makeup artists and stylists are different. Although the person in the mirror is still her, it doesn’t give an exaggerated feeling, but it’s different from usual.
It’s like enlarging the beautiful parts of her facial features, making her more prominent and stunning.
“Are you ready?” a voice sounded behind her. Veronica turned around and saw Mason walking towards her.
He was wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a white bow tie, looking like a prince in a fairy tale.
No, to her, he was always her prince!
“Okay, let’s go,” Veronica said.
Mason reached out his hand to Veronica. “Let’s head over to the studio.”
She placed her hand in his, and they walked towards the studio.
o get to the studio and makeup artist, they just needed to walk hrough a corridor.
Along the way, Veronica couldn’t help but glance at Mason. Today, even though he only had light makeup on, he looked especially handsome.
Perhaps it was because his bangs were combed back, revealing his full forehead, and he was wearing a suit, making him look more mature than usual.
His handsome eyebrows, paired with his sharp nose and chiseled face, along with his sexy thin lips, made him look good no matter how you looked at him!
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with my face?” Mason’s voice suddenly rang out.
Veronica’s eyes suddenly met his narrow and deep gaze, and his handsome face was suddenly right in front of her.
“Ah, no…nothing’s wrong!” she quickly said, but her face couldn’t help but turn red.
“Really?” Mason narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Veronica.
“Really, there’s nothing!” she awkwardly said, especially since there were other people following them. But seeing that the person in front of her seemed to want an answer, she could only say, “I just think you look really good.”
“Good-looking?” Mason pondered, “Do you like me dressed like this?”
“You… um, you usually look very beautiful, but today and the usual feeling is a bit different,” Veronica whispered, urging, “Okay, let’s go, the photographer is still waiting!”
Only then did Mason continue walking with Veronica.
When they arrived at the studio, the photographer was already waiting.
All the props were already prepared.
After posing a few poses as requested by the photographer, he let the two of them do as they pleased while he captured the shots from the side.
“Are you tired?” Mason asked Veronica.
“Not really,” she replied, “just my feet are a bit sore.”
“Your feet hurt?” He was taken aback and glanced at her feet.
But because her long wedding dress covered her feet, he couldn’t see them.
“I wore high heels today. I rarely wear high heels, so if I stand for a long time, my feet will get sore,” Veronica explained.
“Then sit down for a moment, let me take a look,” Mason said.
“But we’re still taking pictures now, aren’t we?” she asked anxiously.
“Just pause for a moment,” Mason said, gesturing to the photographer to pause, and then pulled
Veronica to sit on a nearby chair.
The chair was originally a prop in the studio. Veronica sat on the chair, and Mason crouched in front of her, slightly pulling her skirt to reveal the pair of high heels she was wearing.
“Why are the heels so high?” Mason frowned.
“Because there’s a bit of a height difference between us, if the heels weren’t a bit higher, the photos wouldn’t look good,” Veronica explained quickly. “They let me choose the shoes, and I thought it would be better to go with higher heels.”
After all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime wedding photo shoot, and she always hoped to look better and strive for perfection.
He pursed his lips and helped her take off her high heels, his fingers gently massaging her feet. “Does that feel more comfortable for your feet?”
Veronica felt a bit embarrassed, but she had to admit that
Mason’s massage was just right. Her sore feet felt much better.
But the problem was…there were still many other people around! It was like he was massaging her feet in front of everyone.
