Chapter 90
Then, Matthew remembered that Veronica hadn‘t had a proper sleep in thest two days, so he couldn‘t
bear to wake her up. After throwing a nket on her, he proceeded to his study.
Even though the nket had gentlynded on her, it still managed to wake her up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she instantly felt much better.
After resting for a little while more, she went to the bathroom to change her clothes. Then, she borrowed
a book from the study andy down on the couch to read it.
The whole process didn‘t feel like it took much time for her, but when Matthew came
out of his study and saw that Veronica was still reading the book, he immediately snatched it and said, “It
‘s 2:00AM. Time for you to go to bed.” ––
He ordered her as if he was an older brother being stern with his little sister.
“Give it back to me!” Just as Veronica was getting to the good part, her hands suddenly became empty a
s the book was snatched away from her. As a result of that, she red at Matthew angrily.
“Aren‘t you going to Almeida tomorrow?” The man reminded her while hiding the book behind his back.
“It won‘t affect me. I can still wake up.”
“Go to sleep.” He wore a cold expression and took the book back to his room without saying
anything else.
“Matt–” Before she could finish calling his name, he immediately mmed his door shut, so she couldn‘t
help but yell, “You brute! You are just a selfish and arrogant b*stard!”
Without the book, she suddenly felt bored, but she suddenly remembered the book‘s name and used her
phone to search for it on a reading app. After locating the part where she had stopped, she continued to
read from where she left off.
And just like that, she read the book all the way until 5:00AM. When she began to feel sleepy and her ey
elids could no longer move, shey on the couch and fell asleep.
At the same time, Matthew went over to the side of the couch and stood there for a whule. Watching Ver
onica sleeping
on the couch, he couldn‘t help but feel a little confused. Does she... always sleep sote every night?
However, he didn‘t think much about it as he carried her back to her bedroom.
When he gently ced her on the bed and looked at her sleeping, he felt as though she was a quiet and
lovely cat that was pleasing to the eye. Only her quiet looks will make others feel cute unlike her usual fie
rce self.
“Um…”
Matthew reached out to push the strands of hair on her face aside, but the moment his fingertips touched
her face, Veronica brushed his hand away and groaned.
Then, he hugged her tightly like an octopus. While she was being hugged, she found afortable post
ure to return to sleep.
Lying next to her, Matthew carefully and quietly stared at her face–
from her eyes all the way to her red lips. In the end, he couldn‘t help but lean over to kiss her lips.
He could no longer control his emotions.
Not only was her lips soft and slightly cold, there was also a hint of fragrance, causing him to lose himself
involuntarily.
When he felt a change in his body, he immediately moved back by several inches and stopped kissing h
er.
It felt as though he was ying with fire
Her face is clearly the same as Tiffany‘s, but why don‘t I have any interest in Tiffany at all?
Matthew lusted for Veronica‘s unique body scent a little. The scent was so familiar
that it made him feel rxed,fortable and enjoyable.
And just like that, he allowed her to sleep in his arms for a while before releasing her when her breathing
calmed and she was in a deep sleep. Then, he left her bedroom in a hurry.
It seems like I still need to keep my distance away from her. Otherwise, it is hard for me to believe that I r
epeatedly have trouble controlling myself whenever I face her.
The feeling of powerlessness over his own body made him feel extremely
ufortable.
The next day came and went just like the previous few days. When Veronica woke up at 7:00AM, Matthe
w had already gotten out of bed.
At the moment, he was sitting in the
dining room to have his breakfast. However, after ncing at the delicious food on the table and smelling
the fragrance permeating the living room, she only got herself a ss of water.
In the dining room, Matthew nced at her and invited, “Come and eat.”
Veronica stood next to him and drank the water while shaking her head. “Nope. I don‘t think I want to eat.
”
I can‘t believe the oatmeal I ate
cost 300 per bowl. If I eat another bowl today, it‘ll cost me another 300! It‘s too expensive for me. Growl...
Then, her stomach began to
rumble uncontrobly, so she awkwardly touched her belly and immediately returned to the living room to
sit on the couch.
Seeing how hard–pressed
she was, he couldn‘t help but feel sorry for her. “I won‘t charge you for the meal.”
“You won‘t charge me?” After hearing that he wouldn‘t charge her any money, her eyes immediately brigh
tened as she put down the ss of water and went to his front. “Are you really not going to charge me for
the meal?”
To be fair, she actually didn‘t have any money to pay Matthew back, especially when she couldn‘t afford
such an outrageously expensive meal.
“Yes.”
“Hehe, you‘re the best, bro.” After taking advantage of him, Veronica smiled sarcastically as if her lips we
re filled with honey and called her ‘bro‘ Then, she sat across from him and lowered her head to look at
the oatmeal in her bowl. “What oatmeal are we having today?” the
“Nutty banana oatmeal.”
“That‘s exactly what I want.” She happily scooped a spoonful of oatmeal and brought it to her mouth to h
ave a
taste. “It‘s so delicious.” As she chewed carefully to taste the fragrance of the oatmeal, she sighed from t
he bottom of her heart. “Which brand is it? The taste is amazing. Is it expensive? Can I afford it?”
‘It‘s expensive,” Mathew replied tly while eating his oatmeal and sitting across from her.
His few words were enough to express how pricey this bowl of oatmeal was.

“Okay,” he replied.
“Hmph, I knew it. If Grandma didn‘t like me, you wouldn‘t have allowed me to stay here in the first ce.”
“I‘m d that you understand.”
Veronica was immediately rendered speechless. You b*stard! I would rather that you do not speak! If I wa
After the meal, she cleaned her dishes and went back to her room to pack her stuff in the luggage that she
hand at him. “Matthew, I‘m leaving now. Don‘t miss me too much.”
The man, who was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, immediately cast a cold gaze when he hear
“Um… Hehe, I said that I’m leaving, so don‘t miss me too much.” Veronica smiled sarcastically while carry

“Oh, I wish you a safe journey then.” Veronica waved her hand at him and left.
Behind her, Thomas replied, “Safe travels to you too, Miss Murphy.”
She waved again without looking back. “Thank you.”
Look at that. It seems like only Thomas knows how to treat me well. He even wished me well on my journ
What a sweet guy.
