A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 650

Seeing Veronica's stubborn look, Marie felt even more apologetic.

"Veronica, you were punished by Mr. Cordova because of me. You should eat something. Just one. Mr. Cordova won't know!"

Veronica looked at Marie with a smile. "Marie, I appreciate your kindness, but I am a person of principles. Besides..."

When Veronica looked at Marie, there was a sense of guilt in her eyes. "You were reprimanded by Mr. Cordova because of me. I should be punished. Besides, skipping one meal won't do me much harm. I'll just take it as I am on a diet!"

"You are already so thin, why would you need to lose weight?"

"It's the fashion."

"Veronica..."

Veronica stood up and gently pushed Marie, "Marie, go back and rest. I'd better work hard. There's not much left. I'll go back to rest after I'm done!"

Seeing Veronica so insistent, Marie could only sigh.

"Then you must not force yourself too much. When you are tired, take a break!" Marie reminded Veronica.

"I got it. Thank you, Marie. Go back now!"

Marie reluctantly turned and left.

After Marie left, Veronica looked at the floor and walls that had yet to be wiped and walked to the bathroom to get some water. Then, she braced herself and continued to wipe the floor.

However, her head seemed to be a little dizzy.

Raymond, who was sitting in the study, clearly saw the performance of Veronica and Marie in the corridor from the surveillance video.

He was not that heartless.

If Veronica had been acting lazy at the beginning or being idle, he could have persuaded himself to punish her. However, when he saw her stubbornly wiping the villa bit by bit with a rag with no complaints and Marie had come to plead for Veronica, Raymond also thought that his punishment was a bit too much.

Just now, when Marie passed by from outside the door, he deliberately picked up the phone and made a phone call. He left the computer screen, which was a favor he gave Veronica.

Marie also knew that there were surveillance cameras. She would also guess that he was monitoring Veronica through the computer.

Sure enough, when Marie saw that the call had distracted him from the computer screen, she quickly took the steamed bun that she had hidden on her to Veronica.

He thought that Veronica would take them.

After all, she had not eaten dinner and had done so much work. She must be hungry. Last night, in the hospital, she was so thick-skinned that she asked him to treat her. Now, she would definitely gladly accept the food. Yet Veronica rejected Marie's good intentions.

Seeing that Marie had left, Veronica washed her face and started working again. Raymond stared at her on the screen.

He had never seen such a dumb person.

Marie brought her food, yet she refused.

Veronica, who continued to clean up, suddenly felt a little dizzy. When she stood up, her whole body swayed unsteadily in the corridor. She could barely stand still with the support of the wall.

Raymond frowned when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

He was working, and at the same time glancing at the woman in the corridor who was leaning against the wall to ease her dizziness.

Was she being dizzy because of hunger?

However, she was just a woman who tried to blackmail him. What would he care if she was hungry?

Right at this moment, Veronica, who was originally standing by the wall against the wall, stood up and her body shook once more.
