Chapter 533 Caught by Yvonne
“Huh?” Veronica was taken aback as she recalled that Matthew was still in the bathroom. If Yvonne bumped into him, she would definitely know what had happened in the bathroom earlier.
“I said I need to use the bathroom,” Yvonne replied while heading toward the bathroom.
Her actions nearly scared the soul out of Veronica. Her thoughts raced, and her eyes lit up all of a sudden as she grinned, pretending to be calm. “I think it’s better if you use the bathroom in your bedroom. It… It stinks really bad inside. The ventilation in this hotel is too poor.”
“All right.” Upon seeing Veronica raise her hand to fan her nose, Yvonne nodded dully and walked toward the bedroom. Veronica took a few steps toward the living room and watched Yvonne enter the bedroom, making sure she heard the sound of the bathroom door closing in the bedroom before she let out a deep sigh and immediately opened the bathroom door. Instantly, she was met with Matthew’s dark expression. His handsome face was slightly angry, and he fixed his dark eyes on her intently without blinking, complaining of his discontent.
“Hahaha…” Veronica smiled flatteringly and immediately went forward, tiptoeing to wrap her arms around his neck and kissing him on the cheek. “Oh, darling, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Due to the urgency of the situation, she was forced to kick him back into the bathroom when she saw that he was about to come out. Who did she think he was? He had never suffered even when they were kidnapped by Xavier, but he got kicked by her today, which naturally made him angry.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, his sharp eyes narrowing. “Have you thought about how you’ll die?”
“Yes, yes, I did.”
“How?”
“Of old age, of course.”
Matthew reached out and pinched her tender cheek, leaning in front of her as he said in a deep voice that was full of warning, “How delusional. If you have to die, you should do it in bed.”
“Okay, whatever you say.” Veronica took his hand. “Hurry up and go. Quickly. If you delay any further, you’ll be exposed.”
Saying that, she dragged him out of the bathroom and pulled the door open before pushing him out.
“Roni, you—”
Bang!
Before Matthew could finish saying anything else, he turned around and the room door was flung shut with a bang, slamming directly into his nose. He clung to the door with a stiff body, and his hands that were hanging by the sides clenched together uncontrollably.
The next moment, he felt a sudden surge of warmth coming out from his nose. Gritting his teeth, Matthew raised his hand to touch his nose and looked down at his fingers. They were stained scarlet.
“Damn it!” he cursed, his eyes sparking with fire. However, all of a sudden, the corners of his lips curved up uncontrollably once more.
A door away, Veronica, who was in the living room, naturally did not know what had happened to Matthew. She let out a long sigh and went to sit on the couch. As her mind trailed uncontrollably to what had happened in the bathroom earlier, she couldn’t stop herself from flushing red.
…
The next day, after Veronica finished her breakfast with Yvonne in the dining room, she said, “Yvonne, don’t go anywhere today and just stay in your room. I have some urgent matters to take care of, so I can’t stay with you.”
Using a spoon, Yvonne scooped a spoonful of warm milk and took a sip before raising her eyes to look at Veronica emptily. “Okay, got it.”
“I’ll ask someone to send a computer over later. You can settle your work on the computer.”
“Okay.”
After finishing breakfast, Veronica sent Yvonne back to her room while she went downstairs and drove back to Twilight Condominium. Before going home, Veronica had called Matthew, who was waiting for her at home. Hence, when she entered the living room, he was already leaning against the door frame, waiting for her.
“Why are you standing here? You scared me.” When Veronica entered the door and saw Matthew, she got startled.
“What did you do that made you so timid?” he asked in return.
Veronica gave him a sidelong glance. “Do I need to remind you what you did yesterday?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Matthew took her hand and brought her into his arms. “It doesn’t matter what I did, but I remember clearly what you promised me yesterday.”
“What did I promise you?” His sudden question made Veronica confused.
“I asked you how you wanted to ‘die,'” he reminded helpfully.
Veronica looked around. It was only then that she recalled that yesterday, when he asked her to choose a way to die, she said she wanted to ‘die of old age’, but he said he wanted her to ‘die in bed.’
“You’re always so shameless. All of the rumors that said you stay away from women are lies. Was it a persona your team created for you?” Veronica playfully smiled, snuggling in his arms and looking up at him.
From their close distance, Veronica noticed that his nose was a little bruised. “What happened to your nose?” she asked with a frown as she reached out to touch it, as if thinking that it had been smeared on.
“What do you think?”
“It’s not my wound, so how would I know?”
Matthew’s eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of anger surfacing on his sharp face. “Yesterday, someone pushed me out of the room, and when I turned around, the door slammed directly on my nose…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Veronica instantly came to a realization and couldn’t help but let out a laugh. “Hahaha!”
As she laughed uncontrollably, her mind surfacing with Matthew’s embarrassed expression, she trembled with joy and covered her stomach while laughing. “Sorry, I really… Hahaha… I really didn’t do it on purpose… Hahaha…”
She really didn’t mean to mock Matthew, but she had never seen him in such a sorry state. As soon as she thought about him being slammed in the face by the door, his nose bleeding, she was unable to stop her laughter.
Veronica was not the only one who thought so. Even Matthew had never embarrassed himself like that. As she doubled over laughing, the man who had been slightly angry earlier was amused by her antics. He went forward and picked her up in his arms before heading straight for the bedroom.
“Hey, Matthew, what are you… Hahaha… What are you doing?”
“What else can I do except for you?”
“N-No more, please. I won’t laugh at you anymore. I really won’t.” Veronica shook her head, raising her hand and swearing, “I really won’t laugh… Pfft…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she couldn’t help but snicker again. When she saw that Matthew was really going to ‘punish’ her, she stifled her laughter. “I won’t laugh anymore, really.”
Then, she reached out and looped her arms around his neck, swaying coquettishly. “My body can’t take it anymore. Can’t you let me go?”
He spanked her bottom with his hand that was holding her as he said, “Now you’re not laughing anymore? It’s too late.”
In the end, Veronica was unable to escape from his clutches. This time, he did not deliberately draw things out, but he still used more than an hour before he finished.
Exhausted, Veronica lay sprawled out on the bed, glaring at him with sorrowful eyes. “Matthew Kings, you won’t be able to get a wife like this.”
She didn’t call him Matt anymore, and called him by his full name instead.
