A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 699

To get into a real relationship?

Veronica thought that there was something wrong with her ears and that she had heard it wrong.

"Mr... Mr. Cordova, what did you say?" She asked, trying to confirm what she heard.

Raymond looked at her with a smile.

Then, he enunciated each word, "I say, the two of us can become a couple. That way, all the rumors will prove groundless, and people won't judge you anymore."

Veronica was speechless.

She thought, 'He sounded very reasonable and yet ridiculous. How is that gonna happen?'

"Well... Mr. Cordova, are you joking with me?" Veronica gave him a sullen glare.

But Raymond stared at her seriously with his lip curled a bit. "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Veronica was lost for words.

It was true that he didn't look like he was joking. But ... what he said was nonsense!

If the two were in a relationship, that would be rather strange!

"Well... Mr. Cordova, let's not make a joke of a relationship. Besides, we come from two completely different families. That means us being in a relationship will have serious consequences, ones that are worse than what I was suffering from before."

After all, people would forget a rumor very quickly. A fact, however, would stir up trouble in a more serious way.

"If it's Cordova Group that you're worried about, then drop your worry. I will not let that happen since I am very badass."

Veronica didn't know what to say.

She just smiled awkwardly.

"Mr. Cordova, that is not it. It is..." Veronica said solemnly, "Mr. Cordova, I have never been in a relationship before. That means you will become my first love, even though we're just faking. I do not intend to give away my first time just like this. It should be someone special."

Raymond asked rhetorically, "Why do you think that the two of us cannot be true lovers?"

Veronica was stunned.

What did he mean?

"Mr. Cordova, we don't know each other well, and we don't have any feelings for each other either. This is simply not right."

"We will have feelings afterward. Moreover, since we have been living together for over a month, we actually aren't strangers to each other."

Living together?

Veronica was dumbfounded.

"Mr. Cordova, since when did we live together?"

"We live in the same building, remember?" Raymond explained in earnest.

Veronica was speechless.

She thought, 'That is true. But the way you put it sounded like something else...'

"Mr. Cordova, I think you are mistaken. I don't think I will have feelings for you even in the future. I mean, we are very different, which means we aren't meant to be together." Veronica tried hard to talk Raymond out of it.

Veronica wondered how things ended up like this.

Raymond smiled at Veronica, "Veronica, what is to be worried about?"

Veronica was shocked again by how intimately he was calling her.
