Chapter 319 Are You Trying to Hurt Him?
It would be Matthew’s first time trying such a combination on such an occasion, but he knew that
Veronica liked it, hence the early preparation.
“Awesome!” As expected, she was looking forward to it.
Soon after they started the fire, Troy arrived and knocked on the door. “President Kings.”
“Come in.”
At that, Troy entered the room with an incubator in his arms, only to be shocked by Veronica’s
presence inside. His eyes reflexively gazed back and forth at the two people.
I thought they were ignoring each other. What’s happening here?
“What are you standing there for? Come and roast the skewers,” ordered the cruel Matthew.
Only then did Troy realize his purpose of coming here—being a servant. “Understood.”
After placing the incubator aside, he returned to get a grill before starting his job—roasting the skewers
and warming up the alcohol.
Meanwhile, Veronica scanned the vicinity and was relieved to see the two opened windows, which
would help with the ventilation so that they wouldn’t suffer from carbon poisoning.
Needless to say, Matthew had bought the best charcoal which could last longer and produce less ash.
When Matthew went outside for a while, Troy seized the chance to clear his doubt. “Miss Murphy, have
you reconciled with my boss?”
“What do you mean reconcile? We have always been getting along well.”
“Really? But you ignored each other before this.,” Troy said with a straight face.
Veronica suddenly felt the need to remind him as she said, “It’s best not to let others know about the
relationship between me and Matthew. You gotta zip your lips tight. Do you hear me?”
“What do you mean?” Sensing that something was fishy, he narrowed his eyes and stared at her
intently before a lightbulb went over his head. “Oh! I know! You’re in a relationship with my boss?”
“I’m just giving him a chance. If we’re not a fit, we’ll break up eventually.” She didn’t hide the truth.
“That’s a surprise. Never had I thought that my boss would need to pass probation.” Troy guffawed
without a smidgen of guilt.
Soon, Matthew returned with a hot water bag and he handed it to Veronica. “Warm your hands.”
“We have a fire going, so why the hot water bag?” she muttered while reaching out to take over the
pokemon-printed bag. Her fingertips brushed over its soft fur as she reconfirmed, “Is this now mine?”
Matthew hummed and nodded in response.
Troy, who was busy roasting the skewers, shook his head. “President Kings, you’ve finally confessed to
Miss Murphy, yet you gave her only a hot water bag? That’s so lowly—ouch!”
Matthew smacked the back of his assistant’s head before the latter could finish his sentence. “Just do
your job quietly. If it’s not tasty, you better be prepared to stay up all night roasting them.”
“President Kings, I think it’s best for you to be gentle with me. You’re still on probation! What if you’re
rejected because of a violent tendency?” Troy was bolder than usual since Veronica was here too.
“You dare threaten me?” Matthew’s visage darkened.
“No, boss. T-That’s not what I meant. I’m sorry.” Troy shrank his neck and pleaded pathetically, tickling
Veronica’s funny bones.
The trio sat around the fire and chewed the fat while drinking alcohol and eating the delicious skewers,
which were all marinated and grilled perfectly. Once they had filled their stomach to their heart’s
content, it was already three in the morning.
When Matthew ushered Veronica back to her room, she waved her hand at him while bidding goodbye
with a soft voice, “Bye.”
Seeing how cheeky Veronica looked, Matthew found her extremely adorable. Just as she was about to
close the doors, he stepped into the room and shut the doors behind him.
“Hey! What are you doing?”
Is he out of his mind?
They promised to lay low and keep their relationship a secret from others, but having him in her room
wouldn’t help at all!
“I wanna sleep together,” he blurted while holding her hands.
Veronica, who didn’t budge at all, pointed at him. “You’re violating our promise.”
“Exactly. Because of that promise, I want to treasure today more. I don’t know when we will meet
again.”
“What?”
“I’m going on a business trip overseas tomorrow and I won’t be back in a short while.”
“Huh? Will you be gone for a long time? Won’t you be back by New Year?”
She had just accepted his confession not long ago, yet he wasn’t going to be in the country for a long
period of time. At that moment, anxiety began to creep inside her as her heart suddenly felt heavy
because she didn’t want him to go.
“I might not be able to make it.” Matthew’s reply made her head sink as words failed her.
Then, he pulled the reluctant woman into his embrace and pulled her into bed. “Don’t worry. I will only
hug you.”
As soon as her body touched the soft bed, he wrapped her with the blanket before hugging her. Lying
down beside her, he stroked her tresses. “It’s late already. Rest now.”
Not only did he want to hug her, he also intended to find out how serious her insomnia was.
“Okay.” Pillowing his arm, she rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes, pretending to be
asleep. Initially, she expected her body to refuse any intimacy with Matthew, but she was proved
otherwise.
Instead of a repulsive feeling, the cuddle had given her a tingling sensation that tickled her body, as
well as made her heart race.
The man’s distinctive scent wafted in her nostrils, satisfying her voracity while putting her mind at ease.
“Stop thinking nonsense and sleep.” As though he saw through her terrible acting, the hand around her
waist patted lightly like a silent lullaby that could soothe her to sleep.
Amidst the dead silence that dawned upon the dark room, they could hear the cries of the winter
breeze.
Veronica tried her best to maintain her posture, in fear that something might happen if she awakened
the man’s primal instincts with one false move. After all, she had learned from her past that she could
never stop him once they did it.
Even so, luck wasn’t on her side as it was rather uncomfortable to sleep with clothes on. Thus, her stiff
body eventually went numb after time passed.
Unable to hold it in any longer, she bent her legs while thinking of sleeping like how a shrimp did.
However, she accidentally bumped into Matthew, who drew a sharp breath and tightened his arms
around her at once.
“W-What’s wrong?” She was baffled.
Then, she heard Matthew saying with gritted teeth. “Are you trying to hurt him?”
“Huh? I…I…” Then, she suddenly understood what her legs bumped into.
Almost instantly, her face and neck turned crimson. She tried to prop herself up but in vain due to his
firm arms around her waist.
