Chapter 530 The Beauty of a Honeymoon Phase
Veronica pulled Yvonne behind her to protect her with a faint smile on her pale face. “How do you want to play?” “Oh? You’re quite open-minded.”
The fat man raised his hand to caress Veronica’s cheek, but before he could touch her, he received a kick from her that sent him flying. With a thud, he fell heavily to the ground, hitting the chairs in front of the bar counter and causing the people nearby to take a few steps backward in alarm before they crowded around him to watch.
“Done already? I haven’t played enough yet.”
Veronica raised her eyebrows, her innocent face tinged with a hint of dashing provocation. Though she clearly looked harmless and could even make any man desire to protect her, she was surprisingly ruthless. It made the crowd of onlookers thoroughly impressed by her, and many men even looked at her with infatuated and admiring eyes.
“You… Ouch, damn it… It hurts…” The fat man lying on the ground covered his abdomen with one hand as he pointed at Veronica with a trembling hand, his pain causing him to be unable to complete a full sentence.
“I beat you up as a lesson for you. Don’t just pounce on a woman whenever you see one. It makes you look like a primitive beast!” Veronica cursed before she dragged Yvonne through the crowd and headed outside.
The crowd made way for her while murmuring to themselves.
“Wow, this lady is so cool.”
“I think I’m in love.”
“Wow, she’s too cool. I’ve already fallen for her even though I’m a girl.”
“She was so protective of that girl. Do you think they’re a couple?”
“Nonsense. They’re clearly best friends.”
“This man is so cheap for hitting on girls just because he’s bored. How shameless.”
…
Veronica, who had already left the nightclub, didn’t hear what they were saying. She stopped a cab by the roadside and took Yvonne back to her rental house. She was still unsure of Conrad’s current state, but she was certain that he was badly injured. Based on his personality, he would definitely not be willing to give up. Hence, for Yvonne and her own safety, Veronica decided to take her to a hotel for the night.
After booking a room, she took Yvonne, who had remained silent throughout their journey, to the room. After silently taking a bath, Yvonne went straight to bed.
When she lay down, she said to Veronica weakly, “Thank you for accompanying me. It’s late now. You should hurry back. Also, you hurt Conny—I mean, Conrad, so you have to be careful in case he takes revenge on you.”
Yvonne’s words of concern made all the worries in Veronica’s heart disappear instantly. She had been fretting over Yvonne’s various emotions earlier, but now that Yvonne had calmed down and mellowed out, Veronica naturally felt much better.
“It’s okay. You should rest now.”
Veronica walked to the living room and lazily sprawled out on the couch as she took out her phone. To her surprise, there were several missed calls on her phone. When she was in the hospital, she had turned on the silent mode and forgot to switch it off. Hence, her call log was filled with unanswered calls from Matthew and Crayson.
She immediately opened Matthew’s WhatsApp and sent him a text message. ‘I’ve injured Conrad, and I’m laying low with Yvonne at a hotel right now. I don’t think it’s convenient to take her back to the apartment because she doesn’t know about us yet.’
Veronica was very careful. Knowing the ‘rivalry’ between Matthew and Conrad, she was afraid that Yvonne would be suspicious again because she was with Matthew.
Bzzt—
The phone, which had been put on vibrate mode, rattled with a text from Matthew.
“How fast,” she muttered as she tapped on the message.
‘Where are you?’ Matthew asked.
Seeing that, Veronica immediately sent him her location along with a smiling emoji.
At this time, a string of numbers appeared on her phone. It was Crayson.
Without hesitating, she instantly picked up. “Master Crayson?”
“You little brat. It’s been a day since you’ve come back. Why haven’t you looked for me yet?”
On the other end of the phone, Crayson was so furious that he could feel the anger rushing straight to his head as he spoke. He thought that after Veronica found out who he was, she would definitely look for him first after returning to Destor to question him. However, he had not expected that she would not call him after returning for a full day. How could he not be angry? She’d truly gotten bold!
Of course, Crayson did not know that Veronica was dying to fly to him and ask him about the situation, but Yvonne’s side of things was more urgent, so she had no choice but to take care of it first.
“Hehe…” Veronica reached out and scratched her head with a dry laugh. “Something… happened here. Tomorrow, at the latest, I’ll definitely come and see you.”
There were a lot of things she needed to figure out, so she certainly had to go to Crayson.
After hanging up the phone, Veronica lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, thinking about all the times Matthew had said Conrad would retaliate against Yvonne. Unfortunately, when he knew exactly what was going on, everything had already happened and he could not do anything about it.
After lying down for some time, her phone buzzed again. When she picked up her phone, she saw that it was a phone call from Matthew.
She frowned and nestled in the couch before picking up in a quiet voice. “What’s wrong?”
“Open the door.”
“Huh? Open the door?” Veronica was taken aback. “Where are you?”
“Outside your room.”
“I haven’t even told you my room number yet.”
“Do you think you need to?” Matthew asked, thinking that she underestimated him too much.
“Oh, okay.” She hung up the phone while mumbling to herself and sat up on the couch. After glancing at the living room door and then back at the bedroom door, she got up and walked toward the door, quietly pulling it open.
As expected, Matthew was standing outside. He wore a tailored suit and his short hair was well-groomed, causing him to emanate a dignified and aristocratic aura. When he saw her, his lips curled up in a light smile that was full of charm.
Veronica instantly surrendered herself to his beauty, nearly losing herself. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she stood on her tiptoes and gave him a peck on the lips, whispering, “Why are you here?”
Matthew wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her a step back, leaning against the door frame.
His gentle gaze was bright as he leaned forward and rested his forehead against hers. “Of course, it’s because… I missed my silly girl.”
Veronica leaned against the door frame with her arms around his neck, while his arms were wrapped around her waist as his forehead leaned against hers. The two of them made a romantic and sweet sight. However, the two who were deeply immersed in love did not know how romantic and beautiful they looked, enough to draw the envy of others.
“You’re so smarmy. How can you miss me when you only haven’t seen me for a day?” Veronica pouted. “You didn’t miss me when you broke up with me in the past.”
Matthew tilted his head and nibbled on her lips, lightly sucking on them. She tasted soft and sticky, with a few hints of sweetness, which made him feel a little greedy.
He replied, “I nearly went insane from the torture.”
