Chapter 93
Seeing that Veronica had finally ‘surrendered‘, Matthew headed over to stand in front of the nearly vertical half–meter steep slope before reaching out to her.
After glaring at him, she held his hand and rose to his feet.
However, when she stepped on the slope with both feet, she immediately slipped. She let out a scream, but she found herself in Matthew‘s arms a second later as she now had a firm footing.
“Sigh... What kind of road is this? It‘s impossible to walk on it. Matthew, since you are so wealthy, you should do some charity and build a proper road here,” she couldn‘t help but mutter while sympathizing with the people of Almeida.
“Alright,” Matthew simply replied, but no one knew whether it was a perfunctory response. The next second, he swept his hand across her cheek to wipe some mud all over her face. “You have some mud on your face. Let me help you to wipe it off.”
“Really? Then, help me wipe it off.” Veronica believed his words.
Then, Matthew stretched out three fingers before sliding them across the left and right side of her face.
With that, he left whiskers that resembled Hello Kitty on her face with his muddy hand, making her look particularly adorable. “It‘s clean now.”
He nodded his head seriously and looked at her with ‘admiration. With a hint of joy in his eyes, he held her hand as they walked down the mountain.
Since the road was slippery and Veronica was afraid of slipping again, she tightly held his hand all the way forward.
It was originally a 4–to–5–hour journey, but because of the slippery road and the one hour delay from her, they only finished half of the journey that had now become treacherous due to the sudden rainstorm.
Seeing that the sky was becoming dark and Almeida was still far ahead, Matthew suggested, “Let‘s rest here and continue our journey tomorrow.”
“Sigh, alright. After the rain, the road has become much harder to walk on and the slopes are also much steeper. If we fall down the mountain, the consequences will be devastating.” Veronica agreed with Matthew‘s words.
The two of them then set up camp on the mountain, but there was only one tent that she bought at the alley.
“How are you going to sleep without a tent?” she asked while looking at him.
Then, he pointed at her tent, “This tent is for two people.”
“I‘m a woman and you‘re a man. Don‘t you know it‘s inappropriate for us to sleep together?”
“I‘m your brother and you‘re my sister. We are both family, so it‘s not inappropriate.”
“You‘re not my biological brother, though.” Veronica covered her chest with both. hands and scowled at him with vigilance. Why do I feel that this b*stard is trying to take advantage of me?
“What‘s the problem? This isn‘t the first day that we have slept under the same roof.” The man raised his brow.
“How is that the same? Your house is over 2000 square feet while this tent is only 20 or 30 square feet at most!”
She didn‘t believe Matthew‘s nonsense.
However, the next second, he held her chin and murmured, “Your body is nowhere as good as Tiffany‘s, anyway. I‘m not…” At the same time, he swept his eyes across her body. “I‘m not interested in you at all.”
After that, he released his grip on Veronica and went into the tent.
While pouting her lips, Veronica replied, “Shameless.”
Then, she lowered her head to look at her upright chest and mumbled, “Is he blind? How is my body not better than Tiffany‘s?” .2
Just like Tiffany, she had a slim body. However, Tiffany‘s chest was a size smaller than hers, so they simply couldn‘t be compared to each other.
After rolling her eyes angrily, she also headed inside the tent.
Matthew was already resting in the tent, so Veronica proceeded to lay next to him. Somehow, she always felt a strange and ambiguous atmosphere whenever they were together.
However, there was only one tent with mosquitoes outside, so she felt bad to kick him oui.
After pulling the tent‘s zip, Veronica lay down before sitting up again to unzip the top of the tent.
The moment she unzipped it, there was a transparent mesh that allowed them to see everything outside clearly.
Looking at the pile of snacks and cookies that he took out, she pouted her lips and mumbled, “Sigh, there‘s nothing else to eat anyway.”
PssssssssSSSSSSSssssch!
