Chapter 704 Thankful for Him
After another round of intense, intimate sessions, Veronica lay beside Matthew and panted softly like a lazy little kitten. Just then, he stuffed something into her ear like a magic trick.
“What did you put inside?” She felt something extra in her ear, so she asked. “Tiny earphones that translate automatically.”
He pinched her cheek and explained earnestly, “I know you don’t understand the language of the hidden clan. So, I ordered someone to custom-make this thing long ago. It’s tested and proven to work efficiently. I thought you might need it.”
Matthew’s attentive manner in which he took care of her and his adoration for her shone through in his actions. Veronica was so moved by the gesture that she was at a loss for words.
“Matt, you treat me so well, but I-I… don’t know how to repay you.”
His excessive love for her invisibly placed a tremendous psychological burden on her.
All this while, he had been sacrificing for her, while she received it with endless greed. It made her wonder if she was useless. Why did she need him to do everything for her?
“What are you talking about? You’re my wife. What do I need in return?”
After a brief pause, Matthew gave it some thought and continued, “If you want to repay me, then promise me that you will never leave me in this life. Roni, keep in mind that I am a very domineering person. When I pamper you, I can give you the entire world, but the only thing I cannot accept is betrayal. If you betray me one day—”
“What will happen?” Veronica was curious.
“I will…” He lowered his voice and leaned into her ear, whispering, “I will imprison you by my side forever.”
“Pfft!” Facing his serious attitude, she grinned. “That day will never come.”
She swore it would never. Veronica was aware that she was someone who would repay others’ kindness to her. If Matthew already gave her everything, how could she even betray him?
“Anyway, I’m really touched.” She wrapped her arms around his waist, restlessly stroking his skin, enjoying the moment’s beauty.
While deep in thought, she suddenly asked again, “If I miss you one day, how can I contact you? After all, we’ll not be able to leave the hidden clan for at least the next three or five months.”
The hidden clan’s issue was serious and could easily affect the whole body. It was easy for them to come here, but leaving would be as complicated as flying to the moon.
However, Veronica was afraid of the hidden clan’s power, so she had to come. The current situation made her extremely passive.
“As long as you say you miss me, I’ll appear in front of you immediately,” Matthew said.
“Tch. Like in the movies? Do you think you can fly or teleport to me right away?”
Hearing the contempt in her words, he chuckled without further explanation.
“By the way, did you also know that Hendrey and Tiffany have also come to the hidden clan?”
Veronica assumed that since Matthew arrived at the hidden clan earlier than her, he must have already known that Hendrey and Tiffany were there as well.
“Yeah.”
“That’s good. They know you, so you better be careful. Don’t let them see you.”
Their meticulous plan was done to ensure everything could be carried out seamlessly after arriving at the hidden clan. The whole plan would go down the drain if Matthew’s identity was discovered.
“Don’t worry. I won’t get caught.” He held her right hand and linked his fingers with hers.
In the darkness, Matthew leaned against the head of the bed. In contrast, Veronica leaned in his arms while rubbing her cheeks against his chest, quietly immersing in his presence, unable to pull herself out.
If time could be stopped, it would be wonderful to remain in this moment forever. The two sighed in their hearts.
