Veronica only gave him a side-eye, glancing at Riski, who was still enjoying his pizza.

Frans understood. He was indeed curious about the stranger sitting in front of his wife. Seeing Veronica tightly shut her lips, Frans chose not to speak further. He opted to hug his wife's shoulder and engage with his small family instead.

Ignored, Riski decided to leave Frans and Veronica. He had deep respect for the married couple, as there was no intention whatsoever to meddle in Bianca and Gerald's affairs.

"I'm curious, dear. Who was the man you were with earlier? And why did Gerald suddenly ask me to pick you up? It's quite confusing," Frans held the door open for Veronica, who was holding a sleeping Vanya.

"It's better if you take Vanya to her room, Hubby. I don't want her to wake up and hear our conversation," Veronica rubbed Frans' arm.

"Let's discuss this in the bedroom," Frans suggested.

Veronica nodded. Finally they both separated. Frans went to Vanya's room and Veronica went to theirs.
