Chapter 321 A Kick in the Face
“You…” Veronica stared at Matthew intently as her eyes began to tear up. “Stay safe.”
She didn’t know what she was supposed to say. There were so many words at the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them, leaving only those two words that had escaped her lips.
“There’s nothing you wanna say to me?” Lowering his head, Matthew locked eyes with hers and pinched her nose. “Hmm?”
Her fair nose was tinted with red due to his affectionate touch. “Yeah, nothing.”
Rather than nothing, she didn’t know how to convey the mixed feelings that were churning in her stomach into words. Meanwhile, Matthew, who didn’t receive the answer he wanted, was upset.
However, when he placed his finger on her forehead and parted his lips, he lost his voice as he didn’t know what to say either.
After their gazes intertwined for a long time, the man sighed silently. “Fine. I’ll leave now.”
He rose to his feet and headed for the door without looking back.
“Wait!” Veronica got up and grabbed his arm. “H-How long are you going to be there?”
Accepting his confession yesterday was totally out of the plan, but she grew dependent on him after merely spending that one steamy night together. Despite the heavy heart of seeing him go, she still couldn’t express her reluctance.
Matthew halted and turned sideways to look at her from the corner of his eyes. “When do you want me to return to the country?”
Frowning, she contemplated for a moment. “Work is important. Take good care of yourself and give me a message once you arrive there.”
At that, Matthew shut his eyes and took a deep breath before turning around to hover over her. He held her chin with his fingers and, with a deep voice, he questioned, “Anything else?”
Noticing signs of the seething rage, she cottoned on to the meaning behind his words, but she decided to play dumb. “What else? There’s nothing more.”
“Really? Nothing?”
After thinking about it again ‘seriously’, she gave a certain nod. “Yes. Oh! One more thing.”
Matthew couldn’t help but smile. “What is it?”
Veronica continued to fool him. “The road is quite slippery because of the heavy snow last night. So, I think you should hit the road immediately, or you’ll miss your flight.”
As soon as she finished her words, the smile on his face faded, and his eyes, which were fixated on her, showed flickers of insidious ferocity.
Right then, Veronica hushed up, realizing that she had made a mistake. Oops, seems like I’ve gone overboard.
She let out a bright smile immediately. “Matthew, don’t look at me like that. I’m scared.”
However, the man paid no heed to her claims and lowered his body to rest his forehead against hers. With the tips of their noses touching each other intimately, he asked, “Was I too lenient last night?”
His eyes narrowed to a dangerous slit while letting out a menacing smile. “Do you think that I won’t do anything to you right now?”
Alarmed, Veronica grabbed his hands and shook her head vigorously. “Grandma’s still here. If she finds out what you’ve done to your god-sister, she will not let you get away from it.”
“Oh? What will she do to me? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
“You’re my god-brother. Of course she’ll beat you to death for comitting… incest.”
“Do you know where this place is?”
“Kings Residence.”
“This is the most secluded area of the residence. Even the maids seldom come here, let alone Grandma.”
In fact, Matthew had brought her to the secluded place after lovemaking, in a worry that others would find out about it. However, Veronica didn’t know a thing about it.
He promised her to keep it a secret, so he thought he should at least do that to not worry her.
After knowing the truth of their whereabouts, she held her breath in ‘fear’. Before she could even say anything, Matthew’s phone rang. Due to the proximity, she could scarcely hear Troy’s voice coming from the other side of the line.
“President Kings, we should head off right now,” reminded Troy.
“We’ll fly there tomorrow. I’ve got something urgent to settle today,” replied Matthew indifferently before ending the call.
Clenching tightly onto the blanket, Veronica attempted to give a last-ditch effort by saying, “Matthew—I mean, Brother—Work is important! Work is way more important.”
“Brother?”
F*ck that!
His face darkened as he pinched her cheeks lightly while warning her, “Listen. I’m your man, not your brother! If I hear that word from you again, I can’t guarantee what I’ll do to you.”
“B-But I am Grandma’s god-granddaughter, so you’re my brother!” Veronica was pushing her luck by testing his patience.
“Veronica Murphy!” With gritted teeth, he called her name in a fuming rage, and the vehement voice jarred into her ears.
“I—Ah! What are you doing?”
Matthew flipped the blanket and punished her in a heartbeat, leaving her no chance to escape. This time, he ravished her whole body without mercy.
It was a rare sight to see someone in that inconspicuous area where they were currently, much less when he specially informed them to not come. Therefore, he had the time of his life to teach Veronica a lesson.
After the strenuous exercise, she was all in and ended up falling asleep in his arms. When she finally woke up, she could feel a cold sensation coursing through her swollen part.
Her eyes shot wide open in an instant, and her mind went blank. Thinking that it was a pervert beneath her, she raised her leg and kicked the person away.
Bang!
The heavy thud resonated against the walls, followed by the groan of a man. Veronica helped herself up, only to realize that the one she kicked was none other than Matthew!
“I-It was you? What are you doing?” She covered herself with the blanket as she let her imagination run wild.
After years of knowing him, she found a new side of him. I didn’t know that he loved this kind of play.
Sitting on the floor as his hair covered the perilous glint in his eyes, the pathetic man showed her the medicine in his hand. “I was applying medicine for you!”
He was indeed applying medicine to her. Noticing that her lower part was swollen, he asked someone to buy medicine before personally applying it to her, who was still fast asleep.
However, he got a kick right in the face from her!
Never once in his lifetime had he felt so humiliated. Veronica Murphy!
