Chapter 607 A Sweet Moment
“That’s great, then.” Veronica did not bother to ask any more questions as she straightened herself to lift her head to look at Matthew, who was right in front of her. He was as handsome and charming as before.
She tiptoed and planted a kiss on his cheek. “Is this considered an effort to grant me and our child a blissful life?”
He furrowed his dark brows slightly before nodding solemnly. “Yes, of course. If I don’t work hard right now, how will I be able to provide for my wife and kid in the future?”
“Well, things aren’t that bad. We don’t require much and you can just provide us with the most basic things.”
“No, that’s unacceptable. I would definitely want my woman to lead a blissful life.”
“I feel the happiest as long as I am with you.”
“Is that so? Can I take this as your confession of love for me?”
Veronica smiled shyly. “I guess so.”
“You should rest more, then.”
As Matthew spoke, he leaned forward and swept her into his arms before walking into the hospital room and putting her on the bed. “The doctor put you on bed rest, so you should do that.”
“My back aches from lying in bed for too long.”
“How about I give you a massage?”
“It’s no longer sore.” Veronica hurriedly came up with an excuse as she could not bear to get him to give her a massage.
He looked exhausted and the dark circles around his eyes were rather prominent. Clearly, he had been staying up till the wee hours of dawn and had not been getting enough rest.
As such, she shifted her position slightly on the hospital bed and tugged his hand. “Hey, lie down next to me. I want you to hug me.”
In actuality, she felt for Matthew and wanted him to take a rest by lying down for a short while.
“I haven’t changed out of my dirty clothes.”
“It’s alright.” She shook her head.
“I realize that I can’t say no to you.” He reached out to pinch her chin lightly. Soon after that, he removed his shoes and lay sideways in bed with a hand placed on her waist.
“I’m your wife, so you should dote on me.”
Veronica continued to flirt as she wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled against his chest before heaving a sigh, “You didn’t let me know in advance that you’ve already commissioned a wedding gown, so I went with Monica to try on wedding dresses this morning. I was exhausted from all that and I’m tired now. I just want to take a nap.”
Although she had only tried on three wedding gowns and was not exhausted from that, she came up with this excuse to let him take a nap.
“Okay, I’ll keep you company.” He agreed and lay next to her.
Veronica shut her eyes and maintained the same position. In no time at all, she heard a regularly paced breathing in her ears.
At that moment, she finally opened her eyes which had been shut for some time and there was a pained expression on her face.
He had actually gone abroad to sort out the mess, but he kept her in mind and custom-made a wedding gown, and even planned a surprise for her. At that thought, she was determined to cherish this precious man.
She hugged him and they took a long nap together for the entire afternoon. Finally, she woke him up at 5.40PM.
“I’m sorry I fell asleep.” As soon as Matthew woke up, he looked at the time and realized that he had been asleep for three hours.
“I just woke up too.” Veronica sat up and stretched her body.
Earlier on, she was worried that he would be awakened if he sensed her movement, so she held still and maintained her position without moving for three hours. Right now, her muscles felt stiff.
“I woke you up because it’s time to go for dinner with Shirley. I forgot to tell you that I introduced a man to Shirley. His name is Wade Yoder. He’s a model for Starshine Media Agency and he’s a nice guy.”
She briefly explained the situation to Matthew.
“That’s great. Shirley’s a great woman, so it’s good to introduce someone to her.” Matthew considered the situation and felt that by doing so, Sofia would not develop the wrong impression of Shirley.
However, he did not know what had happened over the past two days.
Veronica heaved a sigh and replied, “Shirley’s too naive and Skyler was being foolish too. He moved into Shirley’s house to make Sofia believe him. He also said that he would avenge Shirley and that silly girl agreed too…”
They sat in bed as Veronica recounted in detail everything that had happened over the past two days to Matthew.
