Chapter 337 - Innocent face is just a facade...

"If Mom catches you with your secret love...then you're going to taste the bitterness of a wife's actual temper!!" Reuben warned in a chilled voice.

"You little fellow.!!! Are you trying to threaten your own dad? How could you? Don't forget that I'm your father and I'm enough capable to punch your face if anything goes wrong." Mr. Smith scolded on the phone.

Reuben laughed at his father's change of temperament from sweet to sour and teased, "Dad.. I'm not threatening you. I'm just stating the fact. Moreover, even if you are my father...don't forget that I'll always have the upper hand because my mom loves me more than you...

And if you are successful in punching ne, then I'll just go to my dearest Mom and complain her about my dear father, untying all of his preserved secrets. Specially the one which you attend every week and try your very best to not let my Mom know…

And you know the after result…right?? If Mom comes to know that you're visiting your free time girlfriend every week secretly along with your best friend then I'm sorry to say Dad…you're doomed.."

Mr. Smith cursed under his breath, knowing that whatever his son had said to him was absolutely right.

He even remembered the last time when he got caught my Mrs. Smith and the scolding he had to go through after that.

Just by remembering it, he shivered a little but soon he snapped back at Reuben, "You ungrateful brat. Don't forget that your mom is my wife first. And what girlfriend you're talking about? It's just a golf match. Yeah…I know your mother doesn't like me to play golf after my health issues and reckons my dear golf stick as her rival but you tell me...

What can I do? After my retirement, it's the only thing to keep me happy. And the best friend of mine you're talking about is also your father-in-law and he had also come here with me secretly. So we're both on the same page.. Humph!!"

"Hey, what are you talking about me with my son-in-law? Don't talk bad about me in front of my daughter's future husband, Logan.." Mr. Lopez couldn't control himself but speak out loud when he heard his friend gossiping about him.

Reuben burst into laughter as he heard both of the old friends' banter. He was about to say something when he heard the honk of the car and he understood his girl had come back.

So he quickly said, "Okay, both of my lovely dads…I need to hang up the call as Ica is already back. Bye now.."

Cutting the call, he ran towards the door and opened it to find Veronica walking towards him with a beautiful smile on her face.

After entering, she just hugged him tightly and said, "Look I promised to come back soon and I did. So any more complains?"

Reuben caressed her hair lovingly and said, "No more complains. Go freshen up. I've cooked your favourite lunch today. So quickly wash up and change into comfy clothes.."

Nodding her head and after giving him a peck on the cheek, Veronica went upstairs to their bedroom while Reuben busied himself in serving the lunch...

----

After their lunch with lots of chatting and laughing, they decided to take an afternoon nap when Veronica remembered about Regina buying contraceptive pills and her face turned from jovial to a devilish smirk.

Reuben noticed it and nudged her shoulder while asking, "Why are the evil aura again resonating from your body all of a sudden?"

Veronica batted her eyelashes at him with too much innocence while Reuben just narrowed his eyes at her, knowing very well that her innocent face right now is just a facade which was hiding some evil trap...

Noticing that Reuben didn't buy her innocence filled mask, she huffed before scowling at him, "Fine you're right that something happened."

"And what is that something?" Reuben asked, arching his brows at her questioningly.

Veronica sheepishly smiled at him and gave him a naughty wink before saying, "Today I saw Regina buying contraceptive pills. But the question is...if Alonzo doesn't like her then with whom she is going to have a wild night??"

Reuben smirked after learning the new found information and asked, "So what are you planning now?"

"Nothing much. Just give me your phone." Veronica said nonchalantly.

Although Reuben made a puzzled face at her, he still handed his phone to her and kept watching her as she dialed someone's number.

As soon as the other person picked up the call, Veronica chirped, "Hey Tom.. Sorry for disturbing on your weekend. But I need a help from you and it's urgent. So couldn't hold myself from robbing your holiday fun.."

Tom on the other side was a little shocked to hear his lady Boss' voice from the other side but quickly hid it well with his professionalism and said, "Its okay Ma'am. Tell me how can I help you?"

Veronica smiled at him and said, "I'm sending you a picture of a lady and her present residential address. You've to send few of our men from Secret 7 to follow her....

I want each and every single details of her without any missing elements. Tell them to spy on her from right at this moment."

"Sure ma'am.. Think that the work is already done." Tom said.

"Thanks for your help Tom." Saying that, Veronica hung up and soon her gaze fell on Reuben who was just going all awe over her.

"Awesome plan? Isn't it?" Reuben queried.

Veronica wiggled her brows funnily and said, "That's because the person sitting in front of you is awesome.. So plans are also as great as your intelligent girlfriend. Don't you agree??"

Reuben laughed out loud at her self praise and nodded his head as if approving that his girlfriend was really the best..

Whereas Veronica too grinned and sent one of Regina's pics to Tom which she had cropped from one of their group pictures which she had captured when they went for shopping.

"Can't wait to see your losing face, Ms. Regina Parker. It'll sure be great fun to watch." Veronica muttered as her eyes showed not even a hint of sympathy for her.
