Chapter 79 Breakfast for Him

Veronica sat next to Matthew and he held up a glass of wine. Then, hesat there enjoying the wine.

The time ticked by gradually and they sat there enjoying their redwines. Meanwhile, Veronica continued to watch the reality TV show andit didn't take much to trigger a laugh from her. She laughed out loudfrom time to time, and she seemed to be in high spirits and she pattedMatthew on the shoulders. “Look at them! Ha! This is too funny! Thatman’s too silly.”

"Oh—I can't stand this! This is so funny. My tummy aches so much fromlaughing too much!”

“The ice needs to be kept warm and using a blanket to wrap it up willonly make it melt. Oh my gosh! Doesn't he have any common sense?This is too funny and cute!”

The huge condominium was generally quiet when Matthew was byhimself and it was to the extent that one would not be able to senseany presence of a living person. However, Veronica's presence gave hima feeling that he had never ever experienced. He was very engrossed inthis homely sensation filled with so much joy and laughter, which wascompletely devoid of all the silence and coldness from before.

Just then, Matthew glanced at a giggling Veronica, who seemed to havelowered her guard around him. The happiness she experienced wasvery infectious and he found himself quite relaxed and happy too.After quite some time, she finally fell asleep and she dozed off on thecouch

She looked quite cute and she resembled a naughty little girl who hadjust nodded off on the couch.

Meanwhile, Matthew held up the wine glass and downed the entireglass before placing it down. Subsequently, he walked toward her andlifted his hand, wanting to gently stroke her cheek. However, hesuddenly recalled the guarded look in her eyes in the elevator and inthe end, he merely took her into his arms to send her into the guestroom.

Matthew leaned forward and gently placed her down on the soft bedbut before he could move into a standing position, Veronica suddenlyplaced both of her hands around his neck and hugged him. At thatpoint, he couldn't move a limb.

Just then, he frowned and tried to move, but she ended up hugginghim tighter than ever as she grunted. “You're so annoying,” shemuttered. “Stop moving.”

As such, he couldn't bear to push her aside so he lay down next to her.The soft bed sagged under Matthew's weight and Veronica suddenlysensed that there was something she could lean on next to her. In hermind, she thought that it was the huge teddy bear she had at home, soshe instantly lifted her feet to place them over it.

Furthermore, she couldn't control herself and she nuzzled her faceagainst Matthew's chest. Then, she found a comfortable position beforefalling into a deep slumber.

Just then, Veronica slept really well but Matthew found himself in anextremely uncomfortable position.

At that moment, there was a warm, soft body in his arms and the freshscent of her shampoo filled his nostrils. He could smell the distinctscent of her body and it triggered his senses, so it was pure torture forhim as he found it quite tormenting.

Finally, Matthew could no longer contain himself so he pushed heraside and attempted to leave the room.

However, his sudden move triggered Veronica to tighten her hold onhim, and she held him in a vise-like grip. She instinctively wound herlegs around his and hugged him tightly.

Veronica was used to being alone, so she tended to place a huge life-sized plush toy on her bed so that she could hug it when she wassleeping. She enjoyed placing both legs on top of the toy and it wasvery comfortable for her. As a result, she assumed that Matthew was alife-sized plush toy in her sleep.

Meanwhile, Matthew looked on at her with passion burning within him,and he couldn't help muttering to himself, “You're such a seductivew*nch.”

Ultimately, he couldnt stand this tormenting situation, so hemercilessly pushed her aside and left the room in an awkward state.Truth was, Matthew was worried that he wouldn't be able to stophimself from having her if he stayed any longer.

The next day, Veronica enjoyed a good night's sleep and woke up at 7AM sharp.

She yawned a few times and stretched her limbs before opening hereyes to take a look at her surroundings. At that moment, she realizedthat she was in a bedroom.

Initially, she was caught by surprise and then she instantly felt her bodyto make sure that everything was fine with her. After she had confirmedthat she hadn't been violated by the despicable Matthew, she finallybreathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

“It looks like that b*stard is afraid of Grandma!” Veronica couldn't helplaughing and she finally felt at ease being around Matthew.

After getting out of bed, she freshened up before walking to the livingroom, only to replace that it was empty.

She assumed that Matthew must be asleep so she didn't disturb him,but went ahead to rummage in the pantry as well as in the fridge toreplace something to eat. However, she didn't replace anything edible.

As such, Veronica changed her clothes and went downstairs to grab abite. She was about to leave when she suddenly thought of Matthew,so she ended up getting him some takeaway of noodles and soy milk.After getting back to the condominium, she walked toward his roomand knocked on his door. “Hey, it's time to wake up.”

She knocked a few times but there was no response from inside, so shepushed the door open to peek inside. Just then, she realized that theroom was empty and there was no one inside at all.

At that point, she scratched her head. “Where is he?”

“Why are you looking for me?” Suddenly, a voice rang out from behindher and it startled her.

Veronica turned around and glared at Matthew. “What is wrong withyou?! It's dangerous to jump out at someone from behind!”Significantly startled, she patted herself comfortingly on the chest.“Well, you shouldn't be frightened if you don't have a guiltyconscience.”

At that moment, Matthew was dressed in a dark shirt paired with dresspants, his short hair slicked up neatly. There were a few buttons undoneon his shirt and there was a slight smile on his jaw-dropping handsomeface that left one breathless. He was in the midst of unbuttoning thebutton on his left cuff with his right hand, and he rolled his sleeves upto his elbows.

It was a casual move but because it was Matthew who did that, itseemed much more precious and arrogantly cool.

Besides, he had the perfect height and he fit the description of thedomineering president generally found in comic books. Each move hemade and every word he spoke exuded the aura of a top model.Although Veronica disliked Matthew or to be precise, loathed thatdespicable guy, she couldn't quite stop herself from being momentarilystunned by his attractiveness.

“You're such a massive bloke but how come you didn't make a sound atall when you walked over here? Did you float toward me?”

She snorted lightly and pointed toward the dining room. “I wentdownstairs to have some breakfast earlier so I got you something too.”After she had said that, she headed toward the study room. “Can I useyour computer? Can I download some online games?”

Matthew hummed in affirmation.

“I'l go ahead and download some games, then.”

Perhaps it was because Veronica had failed multiple times in her plan,so she no longer seemed as excited as before. On the contrary, sheseemed to be quite dispirited and she was no longer as motivated asshe was during her working hours.

In the end, she made her way into the study room and turned on hiscomputer to download some games.

Meanwhile, Matthew walked toward the dining room and saw thenoodles on the table. The noodles, which were initially covered insauce, had dried up and it was all clumped together. By the side of it,there seemed to be something that resembled a takeaway cup.

Just then, Matthew glanced at the plastic cup that was slightly dentedand he frowned upon seeing the childish design on the plastic seal.

He took out a straw from the plastic bag and poked through the seal totake a sip. Initially, he had thought that it was some dubious plain milk,but he realized that the smell reminded him of soy milk. In all honesty,it was more like a sugary drink.

He frowned and glanced at the item in his hand as he became lost inthought.

“What are you looking at?”

Veronica had some spare time because the game required some timeto be downloaded, so she had walked out of the study room. At thatpoint, she noticed Matthew staring at the soy milk with a glazed look inhis eyes.

“What's this?" he asked.

“It's soy milk. A cup cost me two.”

“Are you sure that this isn't just some sugary drink?”

The packaging was not only of poor quality but there was only theslightest taste of soy in the drink. It tasted mostly of sugar water.“What's wrong with it? Inflation has caused food prices to skyrocketover time, so the soy milk is much more diluted I guess,” Veronicacommented in a resigned tone.

Meanwhile, Matthew nodded his head intently and started to eat thenoodles. At that moment, he took a scoop of the dry-looking noodlesand tried a bite, but he found it quite inedible. “Do you usuallyconsume such inedible food?"

“Pfft”
