Chapter 322 She Was Moved
D*mn, what could he do?
His woman deserved to be pampered.
“Apply some ointment?”
Veronica’s gaze was drawn to the bottle of ointment in his hand as she felt embarrassed and remorseful. She smiled shyly and blinked her eyes before saying, “Uh… I’m sorry. I’m just being too defensive. Are you alright? I kicked… Where did I kick you?”
She was concerned. Where did she kick him?
“My… stomach,” Matthew licked his lips and swallowed his rage.
He lied. How could he tell her that she had kicked him in the face?
Of course, he couldn’t tell her that.
“I’m sorry.”
She subconsciously wanted to get up to help Matthew, but she felt chilly when she was about to stand up. She had just realized that she wasn’t dressed, so all she could do was sit on the bed. As if pleading for mercy, she stared at him with innocent eyes.
Then, he stood up and approached her, saying, “Lie down!”
“It’s fine. I’ll do it.”
She snatched the ointment from his grasp, hid beneath the covers, and smeared some of it on herself.
Leaning against the headboard of the bed, she wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, exposing only her head. “Aren’t you leaving? Won’t you be late for work?” Veronica asked.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Matthew, who was dressed neatly, appeared irritable as he unbuttoned his suit and flapped the back vents with both hands. He then put his hands in his pockets and stared at her coldly.
His dark gaze was comparable to the darkness of the night and seemed to speak a thousand words.
However, Veronica couldn’t read his mind.
All of a sudden, she noticed his handsome face had turned a little red. “Why is your right cheek so red? Are you having allergies?” she inquired.
Matthew remained deafeningly silent. He didn’t want to admit it was the mark she left on his right cheek when she kicked him, but his red cheek was evidence of her great power.
“Yeah, allergies,” he responded quickly, not wanting to explain anything.
“Come on, let me take a look at your allergy.”
She reached out and grabbed the corner of his suit, forcing him to approach her. With her slender pale arm, she grabbed his tie, wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning into his face, staring at his right cheek.
“That’s strange. Why do you only have allergies on the right side of your face?” she murmured.
Matthew suppressed his rage and slowly lowered his gaze to avoid staring at Veronica’s face.
He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself from settling the score with her.
As he lowered his gaze, he was surprised to see that the quilt covering Veronica had slipped down to her waist at some point, exposing her busty chest.
Immediately, he experienced a head rush. He frowned as he approached her ear, saying solemnly, “Is it because of my lack of stamina that you’re teasing me again?”
“Huh?”
She was surprised for a moment before pushing Matthew away, only to discover later that the quilt that had been covering her body had slipped down to her waist, exposing her naked body.
She embarrassedly tugged at the quilt and hid under the covers, revealing her cute little head. “You pervert! You can choose not to look!”
“Okay, I’ll pay attention next time.”
“Since you’re awake, wear your clothes and I’ll take you down the mountain,” Matthew said, motioning to a set of clothes on the bedside.
“Oh, okay,” Veronica responded with a nod, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.
“I told you to change your clothes, but why are you staring at me?”
D*mn it. Why did she always have to tease him? It was making him explode.
“How can I change my clothes if you don’t go out?”
“It’s not that I haven’t seen it,” Matthew said.
“That can’t be done! You need to get out!”
He shook his head helplessly again, turning away from her.
Veronica put on her clothes and entered the bathroom. After taking a shower, she quickly washed her face before exiting the bathroom.
They then left the room, exited the old house through the back door, and drove down the mountain.
Matthew was behind the wheel.
At that moment, Veronica’s stomach grumbled. She was so drained by the bast*rd that she was hungry, starving even.
“What would you like to eat?” The man drove the car cautiously.
He had to drive more cautiously because the snowy road was slippery and Veronica was in the car.
“Whatever is edible. I just want to eat right now. I’m starving,” she said, glaring angrily at Matthew. “Are you a devil? How could you have such great physical strength? I’m dead tired.”
She was still a little irritated as she spoke.
Veronica knew he had good physical strength before, but it wasn’t until last night and this morning that she truly understood what great physical strength was.
Even she, as a trainer, couldn’t stand it. She couldn’t help but think that if he had a weak girlfriend, she would be played to death on the bed.
Matthew couldn’t stop laughing when he saw her angry and irritated expression. “I… I’m sorry… I couldn’t control myself. I’ll be more careful next time.”
“There won’t be a next time. Hmph, it’s better for you to leave the country and don’t come back.”
She snorted coldly.
Despite the fact that it was a complaint, it caused Matthew to reflect on himself. They had been wild for the past two days, and he didn’t really care about Veronica’s feelings.
He wanted to express his love in a different way because they eventually reconciled despite the ups and downs they had.
However, he didn’t expect it to be so extreme that it would hurt her.
“I’m very sorry.” He sighed, feeling guilty.
Seeing this, Veronica remained silent.
The car arrived in the outskirts of town forty to fifty minutes later. Matthew took her upstairs to a private restaurant.
“This location is extremely remote.”
“It’s a private dining establishment. It tastes delicious. I also ate it by chance once.”
“Oh.”
They ordered some food, which Veronica devoured.
The way she downed the food made the food appear more appetizing.
Matthew, who sat across from her, sat silently watching her eat while filling her plate.
She didn’t put down her cutlery until she was full before she complimented, “It tastes delicious. I can’t stop eating.”
As Veronica gave a contented smile, she inadvertently burped. In embarrassment, she covered her mouth with her hand, looked at him, and smiled shyly.
Matthew had a smile the entire time and his eyes were always looking at her with affection. He relished every moment and every second he had with her. Right then, he took a tissue from his pocket, leaned forward slightly, and reached out to wipe the oil stains from the corners of her mouth.
Veronica’s body froze at his action, and she sat dazed, allowing Matthew to wipe the corners of her mouth with tissue. Her heart was warmed.
This was, in fact, love.
It was really… lovely.
“Are you not going to eat?” she inquired, after noticing that Matthew hadn’t moved his cutlery much.
“Just watching you eat is sufficient.”
Veronica was moved by his casual remark for a long time.
