Chapter 152


    She could see his phone so much better in this position.


    “Matthew, are you dumb? You can‘t y Ang like this.”


    “You‘re so stupid.”


    “For Ang, you can use her second skill first, then only the big move. Or, you can use the second skill fi


    rst, followed by the first skill, andstly the big move. If you use her first skill directly without using the oth


    er skills first, your opponent will run away upon seeing it. She‘s a crowd–


    control hero. You do know that right?”


    “Further, you‘re up against the supporting hero, Da Qiao. Her second skill is the ring there, and after


    pleting a full circle with it, she can take away all of her opponent‘s heroes within it.”


    ––


    “You have to get yourself familiarized with all


    the heroes and their skills before you can y them better. Know your enemy as well as you know yours


    elf, and you can win a hundred battles without losing a single one.”


    Veronica was so engrossed in the game that even the tone of her voice increased by a few decibels.


    Throughout the entire game, Matthew sat quietly listening to her instructions. His delicate fingers scrolled


    the phone disy slowly, controlling the hero, but his gaze was fixed on Veronica, who was almost entir


    ely engulfed in his embrace.


    He could faintly smell her scent, as well as the fragrance of her shampoo from her hair.


    As a result of his inattentiveness, his Ang was instantly killed by a hero who jumped out from the bush


    nearby.


    “Flicker, flicker now! Hey, I‘ve already said to use the flicker move! What are you doing?”


    Veronica was furious. She turned around and red at him, saying, “If I knew earlier that you were so stu


    pid, I wouldn‘t have agreed to teach you. No, I should‘ve raised the fee.”


    “… don‘i really know how to y this.”


    Despite her shouting and scolding at him, Matthew didn‘t seem to be angry.


    Instead, it was Veronica who was enraged.


    “Come on, I‘ll sign in my ount and guide you around.”


    She did not realize that


    she was getting too close with him, to the extent where they appeared to be intimate.


    Upon finishing her sentence, she stood up, intending to take out her phone and log into her ount to pl


    ay the game with him.


    And the moment she stood up, his embrace felt void, and the tion he felt earlier faded instantly


    His eyes dimmed in that second.

    However, when she took out her phone and saw the battery level, she muttered, “Oh no, out of battery. M

    “No.”

    “What shall we do, then?”


    “I‘ll ask Thomas to send one overter.”


    “That‘s fine. Send him a message after you finish this round.”


    “Okay,” Matthew answered.


    She then continued to guide him, with Matthew learning diligently.


    After


    ending this round, he began to talk to divert her attention, and by the time she remembered that he need


    ed to text Thomas, the next round had already begun.


    This went on for tens of rounds.


    They went on until about five in the morning. By then, she was already so sleepy that she fell asleep on h


    is shoulder; her head tilted as if it was about to fall. Noticing this, he raised his hand to support her head,


    but she unconsciouslyy down in his arms.


    He locked his phone and put it aside. The entire living room fell silent in an instant.


    She was sound asleep in his arms, and he let her do so while crossing his legs and cing them on the


    coffee table.


    Being so noisy usually, she was finally quiet now. Looking at her face which was almost identical to Tiffan


    y‘s, he felt that they were simr, but not entirely alike.


    Her facial features were delicate, and herplexion was fair. Together with the fine contours of her face


    , she looked beautiful.


    While she was lying down, the raven hair of hers slid across her face and covered her beauty.


    Seeing this, Matthew swept her bangs aside with his fingers and kept them behind her ears.


    However, her skin was so delicate and smooth that he couldn‘t take his fingers away from it when he tou


    ched it.

    Then stop himself from leaning over and kissing her lips.


    Her lips were soft and tender, and had a faint sweet smell. He waspletely engrossed in this feeling.


    “Uh…” Veronica felt someone blocking her airway and groaned ufortably.


    Hearing that, he let go of her instantly.


    It was just that her silly–looking face looked too cute at the moment.


    “Do you like her?”


    In that split second, this question shed through Matthew‘s mind.


    This guy, who was smiling just seconds ago, was taken aback by his own thoughts. He stared nkly at t


    he woman in front of him.


    Like her?


    How could this be possible?


    He had spent his entire life focusing solely on his career, and he couldn‘t


    possibly like such a country girl now.


    His face turned cold when he thought of these.


    He then stood up and left the room quickly.


    It was as if he was running away from her.


    Standing in the living room, he


    sent a message to the group of Bloomstead‘s four young masters. ‘Let‘s drink at our old ce.


    He then went downstairs and entered the club‘s private room, Number 8888.


    Twenty minutester, two of his friends, Caleb and Skyler, entered the seemingly empty room.

    His suave and unrestrained appearance gave the impression that he was indecent, but instead, he was a


    However, he had left the medical field to pursue his career in business.


    “Matt, why did you suddenly want to drink?”


    With an arm around Caleb‘s shoulder, Skyler walked toward


    Matthew and teased, “We haven‘t seen you in a while,


    and we thought you had forgotten about us now that you‘ve gotten yourself a wife.”


    Caleb was the quieter of the two. He simply inquired indifferently, “Is there anything bothering you?”


    “Stop saying the impossible, Caleb. Matt is now having a good time with his wife. What could possibly be


    The two of them sat next to Matthew, one to his left and the other to his right.


    Matthew raised his ss and had a sip. “Where‘s Miguel?”


    “He couldn‘te as

    After finishing his drink, Skyler set his ss down and moved forward to select a song. The volume was tu
