Saying that, Veronica took the initiative to cover his lips with hers again, and her small hands even slipped through his shirt restlessly, her cool fingertips touching his skin. In an instant, it was as though her touch was an electric current running through his body, causing a chill to run down his spine. Influenced by her actions, he began to respond to her kiss, but he didn't do anything else until the end.
She was growing anxious. Her small hand gradually traveled down, but when she touched his belt, he grasped her hand and warned, "Roni, stop fooling around."
"Please, I want to," she whined on purpose.
"According to the contract, I'm not supposed to 'sleep with you' within three months."
Naturally, this meant that he wasn't allowed to have any kind of sexual relationship with her; he remembered it clearly. "If I break the contract and you refuse to marry me, what will I do?"
Veronica jolted in surprise and stopped kissing him. Had he been so concerned about this matter this
entire time?
"Uh... Why would I? That wouldn't happen." She shook her head with a sincere expression.
Even though her eyes were practically glittering with sincerity, Matthew could still sense that something was off. "Roni, tell me, did something happen?"
Although Matthew didn't know Veronica very well, judging from her behavior in the past two days, there was definitely something wrong, but he wasn't sure what the problem was.
"What's wrong with you? I want it, but you wouldn't give it to me. Hmph!" She pretended to be annoyed and turned her back to him.
Faced by her assertiveness, Matthew was suffering as if he was in a burning fire, but he did not dare to break the agreement. It took him so much effort to come to an agreement with her to abide by the contract and secretly get married three months later, but if they broke their agreement because of a momentary impulse, nobody would lend an ear to him for his loss.
"Silly girl, stop fussing. You have a weak body, so you need to rest well." He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on the top of her head, breathing in the scent of her hair as he comforted her, "Take a rest for now. I'll call you when lunch is ready."
Veronica closed her eyes to ignore Matthew, while he only stayed by her side like that without saying anything else.
"I'm going to Castron tomorrow. Wanna come with me?"
At first, he planned to go to Castron a few days ago, but because of the photo incident, the trip was delayed and he didn't make it in the end. Now that things had settled down and he was done teaching his family a lesson, he naturally had to go to Castron to deal with those troublesome matters.
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Veronica turned around to face him. "It's going to be Christmas in less than a month. If you leave now, you'll only be back after Christmas, right?"
"Yeah." Matthew nodded, his dark eyes filled with longing as he raised his hands to gently caress her soft cheeks. "I might not be able to visit your parents this year. When I come back, I'll pay them a visit immediately."
"It's all right." She smiled. "Take care of yourself when you're there and remember to call me."
"What are you talking about? If I don't call you, who else would I call?"
The two looked at each other and smiled. That day, Matthew accompanied Veronica for a walk around the villa and taught her to play golf. Then, he went to sleep with her in his arms later that night. However, because of their pent-up desires, Matthew could only get up and take a shower, and then went directly to the next room to rest in order not to cross the line. He felt helpless. It was his first time finding out that his self-control was this bad.
The next day, when Matthew had to rush to the airport for his early flight, Veronica didn’t see him off and deliberately pretended to be asleep instead. For some reason, she didn't want to watch him leave. Perhaps she had suddenly become accustomed to his presence, and after they had gotten into a romantic relationship, it became difficult for her to leave him. Matthew entered her bedroom and kissed her, gently rubbing her lips with his thumb before he turned around and left.
