Chapter 555 What a Shameless Woman You Are
As the door shut, the bedroom once again fell into darkness. After Sasha wore her thin nightgown back, she soon realized the fabric wasn’t sufficient to cover her bare body, thus she had to search for a pair of pajamas and change into them.
At last, she turned on the bedside lamp, and the dark bedroom was instantly replaced by blinding light.
Veronica met Sasha’s eyes after she adjusted to her surroundings. No words were said as they exchanged a challenging look with each other in the quiet room. The atmosphere in the room immediately tensed.
Glaring at the woman in front of her, Sasha clenched her fists tightly in anger and her pretty face was overwhelmed by anger. “Veronica, you’re so shameless!”
Her words broke the silence.
As she perked her head up and tucked the hair behind her ear, Veronica gazed at the ground to hide her uneasiness.
Sasha’s behavior was on a whole new level.
At that moment, Veronica was none other than the person who was feeling embarrassed on behalf of Sasha.
The former raised her brow in resignation as she adjusted her mood and cast an emotionless glance at Sasha. “You’re the one who stripped in front of me. How can you accuse me as the one who is shameless?”
Leaning against the door, Veronica studied the woman standing next to the bed with a calm demeanor. “Besides, you already know that Matthew is mine, but you still used such kind of dirty tricks to seduce him. How dare you slander me when you’re the one who tried to throw yourself at him?”
Veronica must admit that she had underestimated Sasha.
Truth be told, Sasha wouldn’t have missed the news that Matthew had returned from Castron.
Veronica could always see Sasha’s affection for Matthew, so a question was wandering in her mind all the time yesterday. Once Sasha had gotten hold of the news that Matthew was involved in an accident in another country, she would’ve taken the opportunity to visit him as soon as he returned to the country.
However, Sasha didn’t show up as expected even though Veronica anticipated it for two whole days, which was out of character for Sasha, and it confused Veronica.
It eventually turned out that Sasha had a plan in mind.
“What do you mean I’m slandering you? Aren’t you supposed to tell me when you’re coming into my room?” Sasha pointed to the floor tiles beside her feet. “This is my room and my house! I haven’t given you permission to come in!”
Recalling the scene a moment ago, Sasha shook in anger involuntarily.
She thought that she could finally muster the courage and confess to Matthew, not expecting everything to end up in misery.
Moreover, she embarrassed herself in the presence of her love rival. It was such an embarrassing moment and the spotlight effect didn’t help to ease her anxiety at all as her hatred toward Veronica only grew deeper.
She must be mocking and looking down upon me right now, or else she won’t have the triumphant smile on her face.
Truth was, Veronica had no intention to mock Sasha or anything. The smile on her face was a bitter one as she was helpless against Sasha’s accusation.
“I’ve tried a few times, but you aren’t stopping with your speech any time soon.”
Veronica shrugged as a pain pulsed at her temple. A moment later, she waved her hands in dismissal. “Whatever. Let’s forget about it.”
Walking across the room, she finally stopped before Sasha with a serious expression. “I know you have feelings for Matthew. I also know most of your story. I respect you for your courage to pursue love and all of your sacrifice in the process. However, you must understand that Matthew doesn’t share the same thoughts as you. You should stop wasting your time on the attempt to change his mind.”
These were the words coming from the bottom of Veronica’s heart. She pursed her lips before she sighed. “Sasha, you’re Matt’s friend—a friend he has known since childhood. If you don’t mind, I want to be your friend too. You can tell me everything and I’ll do the best I can possibly do. However, there’s one thing you should keep in your mind. Matt can satisfy all of your needs, except one.” Veronica stopped for a moment before she enunciated clearly, “His love.”
Even though the idea of undergoing gender reassignment surgery was slowly accepted by the public, most were still against it, let alone acknowledging a relationship involving such an element.
Moreover, Matthew was seeing Veronica, for the time being, so he wouldn’t reciprocate Sasha’s feelings.
Deep down in her heart, Veronica respected Sasha’s sacrifice to pursue her true love, but Sasha was doing all of this for her own sake and never thought about Matthew’s needs.
