Chapter 380


    Chapter 380 Be Decent, Matthew


    Ding! The doors of the elevator shut. Just as Veronica was about to leave his embrace, Matthew turned


    around and pushed her against the elevator wall, thereafter kissing her on the lips.


    “We’re in the elevator, Matthew! Don’t mess around.” Veronica was so taken aback by his actions that


    she hit his shoulder repeatedly.


    But Matthew did not let her go. Instead, he gently bit her lips. “Ouch!”


    Veronica gasped in pain. With her brows furrowed, she asked, “What’re you doing? That’s painful!”


    “That’s to punish you for not concentrating,” Matthew reprimanded.


    She realized right away that he was saying she wasn’t paying attention when he kissed her and that


    she needed to be punished for it.


    This man is getting more and more indecent!


    Ding!


    The elevator stopped and the doors slowly opened.


    Veronica seized the opportunity when his attention was diverted and broke free from his embrace


    before standing beside him.


    They both then focused their attention on the door. A casually dressed elderly man carrying a bunch of


    keys walked in, followed by a young couple.


    They were most likely here to rent a ce.


    Then, the doors closed, and the elevator rose gradually.


    Matthew put a hand around Veronica’s waist. However, before he could do anything further, the young


    couple standing behind the elderly man began to hug and kiss each other,pletely disregarding


    Matthew and Veronica, who were standing behind them.


    When Veronica saw this, she pursed her lips and reflected on how daring today’s youngsters were.


    Even looking at them made her feel shy. She cast a sidelong nce at Matthew as she lowered her


    head and noticed him looking at her as well.


    Seeing that, she merely rolled her eyes, to which he gently pinched her cheek.


    The elevator quickly arrived at Veronica’s floor and the door opened.


    They both got out of the elevator but before she could get into her own unit, Matthew dragged her to


    the one next to hers.


    This unit beside hers was Matthew’s.


    He used a card to unlock the door. With his hands on her shoulder, he pushed her inside before turning


    around and pressing her against the door.


    The door shut with a bang.


    Matthew ced one hand on Veronica’s waist and the other on her face as he lowered his head to kiss


    her.


    “Hey! Calm down!”


    Veronica ced her fair palms on his face and said, “Control yourself, young man!”


    Through her fingers, Matthew looked at her. “Don’t you… miss me?”


    “I do, but we’ve just seen each other, haven’t we?”


    “That’s all?”


    “What else do you want?” Veronica pretended to be ignorant.


    Hearing that, the man lowered his gaze and gently pinched her around the waist. “You’re up to your old


    tricks again, Roni.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, he took her in his arms and carried her into the bedroom.


    Veronica felt that she wasn’t on her feet anymore and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his


    neck, making their positions appear intimate.


    After they entered the bedroom, he gently ced her on the bed.


    Just as Matthew was about to do something more, Veronica raised her leg and pressed it against his


    abdomen, trying to create some distance between them.


    “Rumors say you’re not interested in women, but I’ve realized you’re just being sanctimonious.” With


    her head on the pillow, Veronica said with a curious tone as she narrowed her eyes.


    “You’re the only one I’ll do this to,” Matthew replied with a raised brow.


    “Well, that’s what you say.”


    Laying on the bed, Veronica pursed her lips and ced her hand on her stomach. “I’m starving…”


    “I’ve already ordered some food from the One Piece Restaurant. It’ll be here soon.”


    “That’s good. Let me have a rest.”


    “I’ll apany you.”


    “That’s not necessary!”


    Veronica immediately declined Matthew’s offer and gave him a thoughtful look, leaving him to ponder


    what she meant.


    Due to her various rejections, Matthew felt his burning passion fade away as well. He then moved to


    one corner of the room, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, and began smoking quietly while sitting on


    the sofa.


    Noticing his disappointed look, Veronica couldn’t help but ask, “Are you angry?”


    “No,” he replied indifferently without looking at her.


    At that moment, someone rang the doorbell. Hearing that, Matthew rose to his feet and went to get


    their lunch.


    He then neatly arranged the dishes on the table before returning to the bedroom to inform Veronica that


    their lunch was ready. However, he saw her fast asleep on the bed.


    That caused him to raise his brows. Is she no longer suffering from insomnia?


    He then approached her and covered her with the nket, but there was no response from her.


    Veronica appeared to be in a deep sleep.


    Seeing that, he smiled and quietlyy beside her, his arms wrapped around her waist.


    He then turned around to look at her. Both of them were close to each other, and a faint and familiar


    scent filled Matthew’s nose, making him all hot and bothered.


    However, he did not want to wake her up. Hence, he could only try to restrain the fire burning within


    him.


    After a while, a sleeping Veronica noticed that something was blocking her mouth and making it difficult


    for her to breathe. She even felt someoneying on top of her.


    She was so exhausted that she couldn’t open her eyes, but she started to wonder, Is this sleep


    paralysis?


    It was until she felt the familiar sensation of something within her that she awakened out of shock.


    And the first thing she noticed when she opened her eyes was Matthew’s attractive and seductive face.


    “Matthew… You… You’re such a b*stard!” Veronica was furious and began to punch him on his chest


    while mumbling, “I am so tired…”


    “You can justy there if you’re tired. You don’t need to move at all.”


    He then gave her an indecent smile, to which she cursed.


    She thenzily closed her eyes and started scolding him in her heart.


    “If I had known this earlier, I would not have agreed to be with you,” she mumbled to herself.


    “Do you want to repeat what you’ve just said?”

    Under his threat, she surrendered immediately. “Be fast. I am hungry.”


    “Okay,” Matthew promised.


    Veronica na?vely assumed that given his promise, he would end it soon.


    However…


    He took almost two hours before he let her go.


    Even she, who was previously exhausted, became much more awake after what he did. He then


    carried her to the bathroom to clean her up before carrying her to the living room.


    “Put me down. I am not disabled!” she grumbled.


    “I just want to carry you.”


    And so, Matthew carried her to the dining table and ced her on his legs, her front facing the table, as


    if she were a child.


    That left her speechless. “It is inconvenient for me to eat in this manner. ce me down.”


    “No!”


    He rejected her right away. “I’ll feed you,” he said. With one hand around her waist, he used his other


    hand to spoon some food.


    The table was full of delectable food, all of which were Veronica’s favorites.


    Matthew then took a fork and fed her a piece of braised meat.


    Veronica, on the other hand, simply shook her head and said, “I’m not going to eat unless you put me


    down.”


    When he heard that, the hand holding the utensil stiffened and his face became solemn. “Really?


    You’re not eating? Do you believe I’ll deal with you here?”


    Here?


    Veronica would never doubt Matthew’s ability to follow through what he said.
