Chapter 152
She could see his phone so much better in this position.
“Matthew, are you dumb? You can‘t play Angela like this.”
“You‘re so stupid.”
“For Angela, you can use her second skill first, then only the big move. Or, you can use the second skill first, followed by the first skill, and lastly the big move. If you use her first skill directly without using the other skills first, your opponent will run away upon seeing it. She‘s a crowd–control hero. You do know that right?”
“Further, you‘re up against the supporting hero, Da Qiao. Her second skill is the ring there, and after completing a full circle with it, she can take away all of her opponent‘s heroes within it.”

“You have to get yourself familiarized with all the heroes and their skills before you can play them better. Know your enemy as well as you know yourself, and you can win a hundred battles without losing a single one.”
Veronica was so engrossed in the game that even the tone of her voice increased by a few decibels.
Throughout the entire game, Matthew sat quietly listening to her instructions. His delicate fingers scrolled the phone display slowly, controlling the hero, but his gaze was fixed on Veronica, who was almost entirely engulfed in his embrace.
He could faintly smell her scent, as well as the fragrance of her shampoo from her hair.
As a result of his inattentiveness, his Angela was instantly killed by a hero who jumped out from the bush nearby.
“Flicker, flicker now! Hey, I‘ve already said to use the flicker move! What are you doing?”
Veronica was furious. She turned around and glared at him, saying, “If I knew earlier that you were so stupid, I wouldn‘t have agreed to teach you. No, I should‘ve raised the fee.”
“… don‘i really know how to play this.”
Despite her shouting and scolding at him, Matthew didn‘t seem to be angry.
Instead, it was Veronica who was enraged.
“Come on, I‘ll sign in my account and guide you around.”
She did not realize that she was getting too close with him, to the extent where they appeared to be intimate.
Upon finishing her sentence, she stood up, intending to take out her phone and log into her account to play the game with him.
And the moment she stood up, his embrace felt void, and the elation he felt earlier faded instantly
His eyes dimmed in that second.

However, when she took out her phone and saw the battery level, she muttered, “Oh no, out of battery. Matthew, do you have a charger for an Android phone?”

“No.”
“What shall we do, then?”
“I‘ll ask Thomas to send one over later.”
“That‘s fine. Send him a message after you finish this round.”
“Okay,” Matthew answered.
She then continued to guide him, with Matthew learning diligently.
After ending this round, he began to talk to divert her attention, and by the time she remembered that he needed to text Thomas, the next round had already begun.
This went on for tens of rounds.
They went on until about five in the morning. By then, she was already so sleepy that she fell asleep on his shoulder; her head tilted as if it was about to fall. Noticing this, he raised his hand to support her head, but she unconsciously lay down in his arms.
He locked his phone and put it aside. The entire living room fell silent in an instant.
She was sound asleep in his arms, and he let her do so while crossing his legs and placing them on the coffee table.
Being so noisy usually, she was finally quiet now. Looking at her face which was almost identical to Tiffany‘s, he felt that they were similar, but not entirely alike.
Her facial features were delicate, and her complexion was fair. Together with the fine contours of her face, she looked beautiful.
While she was lying down, the raven hair of hers slid across her face and covered her beauty.
Seeing this, Matthew swept her bangs aside with his fingers and kept them behind her ears.
However, her skin was so delicate and smooth that he couldn‘t take his fingers away from it when he touched it.

Only when she was in a deep sleep did he stand up and carry her in his arms to the room, where he placed her on the bed.

Then stop himself from leaning over and kissing her lips.
Her lips were soft and tender, and had a faint sweet smell. He was completely engrossed in this feeling.
“Uh…” Veronica felt someone blocking her airway and groaned uncomfortably.
Hearing that, he let go of her instantly.
It was just that her silly–looking face looked too cute at the moment.
“Do you like her?”
In that split second, this question flashed through Matthew‘s mind.
This guy, who was smiling just seconds ago, was taken aback by his own thoughts. He stared blankly at the woman in front of him.
Like her?
How could this be possible?
He had spent his entire life focusing solely on his career, and he couldn‘t possibly like such a country girl now.
His face turned cold when he thought of these.
He then stood up and left the room quickly.
It was as if he was running away from her.
Standing in the living room, he sent a message to the group of Bloomstead‘s four young masters. ‘Let‘s drink at our old place.
He then went downstairs and entered the club‘s private room, Number 8888.
Twenty minutes later, two of his friends, Caleb and Skyler, entered the seemingly empty room.
Caleb Shaw, the only successor of the Shaw Family. But his mind was set on upholding justice. Hence, he enrolled in a police university despite his family‘s objections and was now an inspector in the police station.
And Skyler Robins, the youngest and the most unusual doctor in Bloomstead.
His suave and unrestrained appearance gave the impression that he was indecent, but instead, he was a gifted doctor at the top of the country‘s list.
However, he had left the medical field to pursue his career in business.
“Matt, why did you suddenly want to drink?”
With an arm around Caleb‘s shoulder, Skyler walked toward Matthew and teased, “We haven‘t seen you in a while, and we thought you had forgotten about us now that you‘ve gotten yourself a wife.”
Caleb was the quieter of the two. He simply inquired indifferently, “Is there anything bothering you?”
“Stop saying the impossible, Caleb. Matt is now having a good time with his wife. What could possibly be bothering him?” Skyler patted his shoulders and made fun of him. “Not everyone is as unromantic as you, a wooden block.”
The two of them sat next to Matthew, one to his left and the other to his right.
Matthew raised his glass and had a sip. “Where‘s Miguel?”
“He couldn‘t come as he had something on,” Skyler replied. At the same time, he, too, raised his glass, and they all clinked their glasses, finishing whatever that was left in them
After finishing his drink, Skyler set his glass down and moved forward to select a song. The volume was turned down so that it wouldn‘t affect their conversation.
As he took the microphone and began to sing along with the music, he overheard Matthew asking Caleb, “What is the behavior of loving someone?”
“What the heck are you saying?” Shocked by what Matthew asked, Skyler who was ready to sing dropped his microphone.
He quickly turned around and sat beside Matthew. “Matt, please repeat what you just said. What? Behavior of loving someone? Oh my God, don‘t tell me you‘ve fallen in love with that girl, Tiffany?”
“Miss Larson possesses both beauty and talent. As such, it‘s no surprise that no man could resist her,” said Caleb, the unromantic guy.
Matthew took a sip of his wine while holding his glass with his delicate fingers and said, “You haven‘t answered my question.” As he spoke, he cast a glance at Skyler.
Skyler and Xavier were birds of a feather who flocked together, both being playboys.
However, as Skyler was now in charge of a multimedia agency, he was no longer surrounded by a diverse range of women from various industries, but rather by celebrities.
“The behavior of loving someone? A day apart with her would feel like years. You want to be with her all the time, and kiss her as well as being intimate with her whenever you see her. Even doing nothing with her is wonderful.”
