Chapter 123


    Xavier sensed from Veronica‘s doleful expression that something was wrong. Concerned, he asked,


    “What‘s the matter?”


    “Nothing. It‘s just that I ate too much at lunchtime, so I‘m not hungry yet at the moment.” Veronica gave


    him a perfunctory smile. Then, she pointed at the documents on her desk, saying, “I‘m reading these


    documents. I‘ll be going home to sleep after a while.”


    “Okay. In that case, I‘ll stay here with you. As it happens, I don‘t feel like eating either.” Xavier came and


    sat down next to her. Darting a look at the documents on her desk, he said, “Is there anything you don‘t


    understand? I can exin it to you.” He knew that Veronica had something on her mind, but instead of


    asking her about it, he merely kept herpany in silence as she workedte.


    After they finished work, Xavier took Veronica to have somete–night snacks and drove her “home.”

    Veronica told Xavier she was staying in an alley across from Twilight Club, but after Xavier left, she


    returned to Matthew‘s Twilight Condominium. At first, she wanted to refuse the man‘s offer to drive her


    home, but she really couldn‘t resist his raging enthusiasm.


    It was pitch–dark inside when she entered the apartment. In the dim light from the outside, Veronica took


    off her shoes and walked over to the living room sofa wearily. Lying down on the sofa, she closed her


    eyes without saying a word.


    Ring! Just then, her cell phone rang in her pocket. She took out her cell phone, only to see that it was an


    iing call from Xavier. “Bro? What‘s the matter?” she askednguidly while resting her head on the


    sofa‘s armrest.


    “Where are you?”


    “Where am I?” Veronica was startled; she didn‘t understand why Xavier would ask such a question all of


    a sudden. “I‘m home, of course. Where else can I be?”


    “Oh?” Xavier uttered on the other end of the line. Then, he continued with a slight drawl in a way that


    seemed meaningful, “I‘m asking you where your ce is. I‘d like to visit your ce.”


    Veronica‘s heart skipped a beat. She sat up on the sofa, thinking, Could he have learned something?


    She made up a random excuse and turned Xavier down, saying, “Oh, 1.


    wh… I‘m a bit tired, so I‘m going to sleep, And besides, I‘m renting the ce with a few other girls, so it‘d


    be improper for you toe here. If you have something to discuss with me, let‘s talk about it tomorrow.”


    “Okay. We‘ll talk about it tomorrow, then. Good night.”


    “Good night.”


    Veronica hung up. Thinking that she had worried too much, she let out an inward sigh of relief.


    Unbeknownst to her, however, Xavier was standing next to the elevator at the second basement parking


    lot of Twilight Club. Clutching his cell phone in his hand, he stared hard at the number disyed on the


    elevator‘s floor indicator–38. The 38th floor was the floor where Matthew resided. Turns out she‘s been


    living with Matthew, eh?


    Veronica, who was upstairs, waspletely unaware of these things. After lying down in the living room


    for a while, she went to the bathroom to clean herself. Then, she went to the study and turned on the


    laptop. After opening the browser, she keyed in a URL and entered a mysterious website, reading the


    information on the website while carefully keeping a lookout for Matthew, who mighte back at any


    time.


    Suddenly, the door to the study opened with a squeak.


    Veronica looked up to see Matthewing in. “You‘re back already?” she asked with feigned


    nonchnce; at the same time, however, she surreptitiously closed the website and quickly removed the


    traces of her having visited the website. Then, she switched to an online novel website that she had


    opened beforehand, pretending to be reading the online novel.


    Wearing a ck shirt paired with a dark–colored casual necktie, Matthew strode toward Veronica with his


    sleeves rolled up to his elbows. As he walked, he loosened his necktie and undid the two buttons on his


    cor. His muscr chest was partly hidden and partly visible, and it, along with his outrageously good–


    looking face, made him appear as noble and aloof as a perfect Prince Charming that came straight out of


    aic book.


    Even Veronica, who was immune to men‘s masculine charm, couldn‘t help being fascinated by


    Matthew‘s handsomeness.


    “What are you reading?” Matthew walked over and stood beside her, but he couldn‘t help narrowing his


    eyes slightly after darting a look at theptop screen. The next


    instan?, he knocked her head lightly with his hand, saying, “How could you read this kind of thing? You‘re


    ady.”


    “What‘s wrong with that? Can‘t I read novels? Veronica frowned in displeasure while shooting the man


    an angry re. “I like to read these. That‘s none of your business!”


    “You like to read these?” Matthew repeated her words.


    The inwardly displeased woman looked up at him. “What‘s wrong with reading novels for satisfaction?


    There are things that are unattainable in life, after all.” Life is always less than satisfactory. Isn‘t it good to


    experience those wonderful things in one‘s imagination by reading novels?


    “Satisfaction, hmm?” A flicker shed across Matthew‘s narrow, piercing eyes. Gripping Veronica‘s chin


    with his hand, he gently turned her head, forcing her to look at theptop screen. Pointing at the website,


    he read aloud, “Staring at his gigantic organ, Belinda cried out…” Too embarrassed to read the rest of


    the sentence, he asked her, “Why have I never found you being so brazen before?”


    “I…” Veronica was at a loss for words. She fixed her eyes on the sentences disyed on the screen that


    Matthew pointed to, which read, ‘Oh, God! Your c*ck is so big and thick! T–This is definitely too much for


    me… But I love it so much…‘


    F*ck… Holy sh*t! What the hell is all this? Even Veronica, who had been calm and collected just now,


    could no longer retain herposure. A rosy blush instantly came over her little face, which looked as


    fair and delicate as fine–quality marble. She was so embarrassed that she wished the ground would


    open and swallow her up. Damn it! I only clicked into a random novel, but do the novel‘s contents have to


    be so explicit?


    But was Veronica the kind of woman who would easily give in? No, I‘m not. Never, she thought. After


    licking her lips, she cleared her throat and said nonchntly, “What‘s the problem with that? We‘re


    adults, after all. Can‘t I have a bit of a hobby? I‘ve even watched lots of porn videos, let alone this kind of


    novel. Tsk, what are you making a fuss about?” As she felt guilty, she spoke in an unusually loud voice.


    After finishing her sentence in a loud voice, she brushed off Matthew‘s hand and stood up. “I‘ve had


    enough of enjoying it, so let me rmend it to you for free. Just take your time reading it. I‘m going to


    sleep.” With that, she got up in an attempt to take to her heels.


    However, as soon as she stood up, Matthew sat her down in the executive chair. Trapping her in the


    chair with his hand ced on the armrests, he fixed his sharp eyes on her without blinking, asking, “Do


    you often watch those videos with him?” With a chilly expression that made one‘s flesh creep, he


    clutched the executive chair‘s armrests so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
