Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 1280

Chapter 1280 Punishment

Veronica had prepared herself for the worst. She didn't want Matthew to die for her.

"Can't you think positively? Don't you believe in what I'm capable of?" the man teased as he gently pinched her smooth skin.

"I believe in you, but...there will always be someone better, and there will always be someone beyond our reach. We still don't know how Master Crayson and the others sealed Tiffany's memories. We can only discover the true power of the hidden clan's secret skill when we see Tiffany on the day of the hunting ceremony."

Veronica was worried. "Matt, I want to go back to Bloomstead. I miss my parents, our children, and Twilight Condominium."

Only in Bloomstead did she truly feel at home.

All her loved ones were in Bloomstead. After being forced to come to the hidden clan, Veronica lived in constant fear and exhaustion every day.

"Have a good rest. We can leave the hidden clan in a month at most. You can treat it as a vacation. We will go back eventually."

Matthew held Veronica's shoulders with both hands as he leaned down, looking at her, and then kissed her on the lips. "Roni, I missed you."

The brief but powerful kiss seemed to possess a strong magic that gradually made Veronica forget her worries and immerse herself in his passion.

Intense passion and a state of self-forgetfulness.

No matter what they did, both of them were fully committed. Even when making love, they would give their all.

Perhaps, this was their approach to love.

...

The next day.

Matthew hadn't left yet as Veronica woke up early. He stayed with her until dawn.

This was the first time since they came to the hidden clan that Veronica stayed in her room until dawn.

As she opened her sleepy eyes, she saw Matthew's handsome face. It was the sight she had yearned for day and night.

"When did you remove your makeup? You're still here. Aren't you afraid they'll come back and find out about you?" Veronica told him to leave, but her hand was wrapped around his strong waist as she greedily pecked him on his lips.

With his elbow propped on the pillow to support his head, Matthew quietly watched the woman in his arms, feeling the beauty of the morning and experiencing their life after marriage.

Little did he expect that the woman would initiate a kiss as soon as she woke up.

A faint smile appeared on his handsome face, and a fire seemed to start in his ink-black eyes.

With his slender arms wrapped around her waist, he leaned in and kissed her lips, gently nibbling on her red lips. "Don't you know that you shouldn't provoke me in the morning?"

He had already restrained himself. However, he couldn't resist her when she took the initiative.

Veronica regained her composure then. Placing her hands on his chest, she shook her head. "Stop. Master Crayson and the others have already woken up. It wouldn't be good if they found out."

"What are you afraid of? We're legally married. Why should we sneak around to make love?"

With his identity already revealed, Matthew became even more uninhibited.

Veronica didn't know whether to laugh or cry about that.

She tilted her head and looked out the window, listening to the cuckoo's cry and watching the morning sun shine on the earth. There was a red glow enveloping a large tree outside.

What a beautiful morning. It gave a sense of peaceful times.

Smack!

Suddenly, a slap landed on her buttocks, eliciting a pained cry from Veronica. Her eyebrows were pulled together into a frown when she asked, "Why did you hit me?"

"It's your punishment. How could you get distracted when you're with me? Who else should I hit if not you?"

My goodness, the audacity! she thought.

He still thinks he's in the right even when he's the one who spanked me!

Fuming, Veronica raised her hand to hit him back.

However, Matthew didn't give her a chance. He grabbed her wrist and pressed her onto the bed, smirking. "Is my Roni trying to provoke me?"

"You're the one who spanked me first!"

"It seems like I didn't do it hard enough. I need to find another way to 'punish' you so that you'll learn your lesson."
