“I know Flavian has ulterior motives, especially when I accidentally found out that he had investigated you and the children. I became even more worried after that. The real reason for announcing our divorce is to make him give up his schemes on you.”
Matthew sighed after speaking, his face filled with concern as he looked at Veronica and smiled helplessly. “I’m sorry that I’m useless.”
A trip to the hidden clan made Matthew financially strained, and many things went beyond his control. Veronica stared at him with clear eyes, and after a while, she stood up and sat beside him, wrapping her arms around his neck and resting her head on his shoulder. “I thought it was a big deal.”
After she found out the truth, all of her anxiety and doubts disappeared, and she gradually understood why he had an ambiguous relationship with Eviette.
The reason was to prove that he had a new lover by having an ambiguous relationship with Eviette. It was done in order to eliminate any possible threats that Flavian might bring to her. It was like an act of diverting misfortune away from oneself by taking the initiative to cause trouble.
“If I had known this earlier, I would never have agreed to announce a fake divorce.” Veronica rested her head on his shoulder, one hand covering his hand as she caressed his slightly warm skin, feeling emotional. “Matt, I’m not as fragile as you think. We have been through thick and thin together. This is nothing at all.”
“It’s all my fault.” Matthew placed the tall glass on the table to wrap his long arms around her waist. Looking down at his understanding wife in his arms, he leaned down to kiss her cherry-like lips. “You can punish me.”
The two looked into each other’s eyes affectionately. Suddenly, a mischievous glint flashed in Veronica’s raven eyes. “Hmm… How about I punish you by kissing me for a minute?”
A charming smile appeared on the handsome man’s face. “This sounds more like a reward, but since my dear wife has requested, I will naturally fulfill your wish.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his warm lips covered her soft lips as they engaged in a passionate makeout session.
The conflicts between the two were like seasoning, adding a hint of flavor to their lives. At this moment, it ignited like a raging fire. 30 seconds later, Veronica regretted it.
She was pinned down by Matthew on the couch, and he forcefully destroyed all her clothes, seizing her in a strong and domineering manner. They moved from the couch to the windows and finally ended up on the bed. By now, two to three hours had passed.
Veronica panted heavily while resting her head on his arm and lazily squinting her eyes. “I think the person who poses the greatest threat to me is you, Matthew. Let’s get a divorce for real, or I’m afraid that one day I will die in bed.”
This b*stard seemed to have endless energy, completely draining her. A mischievous smile appeared on his handsome face. He lightly pinched her waist and remarked, “I’ll never run out of energy on things like these, for your information.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Veronica opened her eyes wide. “Matthew, you’ve changed.”
“Hmm?” “You’ve become too naughty.” Veronica blushed, probably because of the intense exercise just now.
“Oh, don’t you like it?”
“Well… Yeah, I like it.”
“If you like it, let’s do it again.” Veronica was completely shocked to hear that. Immediately, she wrapped herself in the blanket and warned, “Stay away from me, Matthew Kings, or I will actually divorce you!”
Matthew embraced her with his long arms and pulled her closer to his chest. “I’m just teasing you.”
Hearing that, Veronica finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against his embrace, and drew circles on his strong chest. “You’re right, Flavian has been thriving in Kyoland all these years without contacting you. He must have a purpose for suddenly showing up. Since we have already announced our divorce, we can only continue putting up an act.”
