Chapter 390 A Cure for Her Insomnia
Matthew chuckled in amusement at Veronica’s reaction. He turned around and looked at her fondly. “I’ll go make lunch for you.” He entered the kitchen and called someone to deliver some groceries to them.
Meanwhile, Veronica went into the guest bedroom to keep Yvonne company. At noon, they sat down for lunch together, but Yvonne could barely eat anything. She quickly excused herself and went back to bed.
Veronica decided to curl up on the couch and play a game. Lately, she had been too busy during the day, so she had to stay up at night to practice. She was afraid of getting too rusty, which might leave the team short of a player when it came time for the competition.
Matthew sat beside her and opened his laptop to get some work done. He seemed to want to spend as much time with her as he could today since she would be leaving for Castron tomorrow.
That night, they stayed in the unit at Twilight Condominium to keep Yvonne company. Veronica climbed into bed after washing up, and at the same time, Matthew came out of the bathroom dressed in a robe.
His hair was still dripping wet, and the droplets of water cascaded down his cheek before falling onto his chest. Under the warm light of the bedroom, the droplets of water seemed to sparkle, and it made his perfectly sculpted abs appear even more enticing to the eye.
Even Veronica, with her astounding amount of self-control, could not resist gulping. Darn it. His body’s too hot. His gorgeous figure, combined with his chiseled face made him look like an incubus out on the hunt.
“Do you always stare at men like that, Roni?” Matthew teased as he came over and lifted her face up by her chin.
Smack! Veronica slapped his hand away. “Go sleep on the couch.”
“You’re going to Castron tomorrow and you don’t even know when you’ll be coming back. Are you really going to make me go celibate for so long?”
“You had a lot of training throughout all those years before you met me.”
Matthew sat on the edge of the bed and cupped her naple before saying softly, “It’s like a drug. Once I’ve started, I can’t stop.”
Of course, this only applied to Veronica. He was uninterested in any other woman. While his words were a little blunt, they conveyed his desire aptly.
“What are you daydreaming about? Help me dry my hair.” Matthew tapped Veronica on the forehead. Veronica got out of bed lazily and grabbed the hairdryer. She made Matthew sit in front of the vanity table before she started blow drying his hair.
Amid the sounds of the hairdryer, Veronica suddenly piped up, “I just realized that it’s a loss for me to be with you.”
“How’s that so?”
“Other couples seem to have infatuation stages and honeymoon stages in their relationship, but we already seem like an old married couple.”
This was especially evidenced by the fact that she was currently drying his hair for him. It made her feel like they had been together for ages now. “What does infatuation look like to you, Roni?”
Matthew asked as he stared at her in the mirror. Veronica continued holding onto the hairdryer as she began to think. “Are you trying to scald me to death?” Matthew called out while she was still deep in thought.
Veronica moved the hairdryer aside and felt his hair. The part where she had been aiming at felt like it was on fire.
“Are you okay?” she asked in concern.
“No, I’m not.”
“You’re not? Oh my, is it that serious? Do you want to call a doctor?”
In her heart, she grumbled as it seemed like everything was fine.
“Ahhh!”
Veronica was still somewhat dazed when the hairdryer was abruptly snatched out of her hands and tossed onto the vanity table. Matthew then held her by the waist and threw her down on the bed before climbing up on top of her.
It was too cold, so Matthew pulled the sheets over them before bending down to kiss her.
“Hey! Matthew, don’t go too far.”
“We won’t go too far. Just one round.”
“Really?”
“Mmhmm.”
“Don’t leave any marks on me. I still need to go on a business trip tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
