Chapter 703 Pretending to Be a Gentleman
Hayley Elrod was her biological mother’s name. Afterward, Crayson and Destiny showed up in the pub. When they noticed Mateo and Veronica were drunk, they ordered someone to send them back to the bamboo house.
In the bedroom, Veronica lay dizzily on the bed until she fell asleep. While sleeping, she could vaguely feel a familiar scent beside her. That familiar feeling made her open her eyes instantly. Sure enough, someone else was lying beside her, embracing her and stroking her cheek with his big palm.
In the darkness, Veronica was aware of his identity, even though she couldn’t see him. She was overcome with emotion and reached out to give him a tight hug before planting a passionate kiss on his lips. As if through telepathy, they were aware of each other’s presence. The passionate kiss was like a prairie fire burning endlessly. During the process, both of them immersed themselves tacitly and enjoyed the wonderful moment. None of them ventured to break the silence or spoil the pleasant atmosphere.
While hugging him, Veronica placed her fingers on his back. She gently rubbed the scars left by the three gunshot wounds on his back, feeling a dull pain hitting her chest. He had sacrificed too much for her. Throughout the passionate love-making session, she clenched her teeth and restrained herself from making a sound for fear of alarming the people outside.
After an unknown amount of time, their blissful session came to an end. She hugged him tightly, her cheek pressed against his hot chest as she inquired, “When did you come?”
Veronica only arrived in the hidden clan yesterday afternoon, and Matthew quickly found out where she stayed. His presence gave her a sense of security.
“I came two days before you.”
He hugged her and planted a kiss on her forehead, uttering, “Silly girl. Don’t be afraid. I’m always here for you. Do everything you want without fear.”
“Thank you, Matt.” She closed her eyes and let herself become completely submerged in the feeling of safety he had given her.
“You’re my wife. I’d do anything for you.”
“I’m so lucky to have you, h-honey.”
“What did you call me?”
After Matthew got acquainted with Veronica, she always called him by his first name. She only started calling him by his nickname, Matt, recently. Now that he finally heard her calling him ‘honey,’ he was instantly over the moon.
“Honey!”
“It’s too soft. I can’t hear you.”
“Honey?”
“What?”
“Honey! Honey! Honey…” She wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear.
Unable to control his joy, he reached out to slap her bum lightly. “What an annoying little brat.”
They say that ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ Matthew was already missing Veronica like crazy. Now that she was finally in his embrace, it was more difficult for him to restrain himself. Feeling the burning desire in his body, he got up and pinned her down again, confessing, “I want to do it again. What should I do?”
“Nuh-uh. It’s dangerous now. We can’t be discovered.”
She also missed him very much, and all her thoughts about him turned into a lingering drizzle, nourishing her, making her unable to restrain herself too. Though she refused him, her body reacted more honestly.
Matthew could feel the moisture on his fingertips when he caressed Veronica unintentionally. He then chuckled, “You’re lying, Roni.”
Being teased by him, her cheeks flushed red. “Stop being shameless. I never knew you were this annoying before.”
“Why should I pretend to be a gentleman with my wife? I’m not a hypocrite.”
Hooking her chin with his finger, he leaned down and kissed her soft, red lips.
To Matthew, Veronica was like a coquettish poppy in full bloom. Just a single touch would make him fall out of control. That feeling was… exceptionally wonderful.
