Even though the blow dryer's noise was rather loud, Veronica's mood was utterly unaffected.
If anything, she thought the current situation was delightful.
In comparison to 30 minutes ago, when she felt a gut-wrenching heartache, this moment was so sweet that she thought that she might be dreaming.
Every stroke he made through her hair was filled with tenderness as he gently held her hair with one hand and gripped the blow dryer with the other.
Only then did Matthew realize that her hair was black, straight, and there was so much of it.
After he was finally done with her hair, he started on her bangs.
When he was finished, he combed her hair gently after switching off the blow dryer and setting it aside.
Then, he leaned toward her ear and said, "My dear, you’re gorgeous." He placed one hand on her shoulder and the other on her head to softly caress it.
Veronica pursed her lips and smiled; her lovely cheeks were slightly flushed as she said, "I would turn conceited if you keep praising me like this."
"You should be."
As he spoke, he placed one palm on her cheek to turn her face and kissed her.
The kiss was rather sudden.
However, no one knew that Matthew had restrained himself from doing so for a terribly long time.
Veronica gradually immersed herself under his tender and affectionate kiss as her breathing became erratic.
The man wrapped his arms around her waist, led her to her feet, and turned her around. Then, he swiftly yet carefully pushed her down onto the bed and pulled the quilt over her.
Veronica was only in a bathrobe, so as she fell, the robe came undone, which showed her slender figure.
"Are you that impatient?" Matthew teased as he slightly raised his brow and flicked the tip of her nose.
"Go away. I'm not. It's clear that you didn't prepare clothes for me."
Her cheeks were flaming at this point.
"It's not like you haven't done this before. Why are you still so shy?" Her adorable expression tickled his heart.
"I'm not as shameless as you."
"I'm only shameless to you."
Matthew gave her another kiss as those words fell from his lips.
This particular night, the two spent a wholly passionate yet wild night together.
Nevertheless, Matthew stopped being proactive and started to become relatively passive after an hour.
Thus, Veronica took the opportunity to strike, allowing him to witness the other side of her.
“I didn't know you are such a tormenting little tempter.”
“Do you not like it?”
"I love it. I can't ask for more." He smiled contentedly.
Veronica, who had been doing it for some time, collapsed and said, "I'm so tired... I don't want it anymore." "You just played with fire, and now you want to back out?" "This isn't up to you," Matthew teased as he spanked her lightly.
The two drove each other mad till 3.00AM before they decided to call it a night.
Veronica eventually woke up around noon, utterly grumpy and ravenous.
She stretched out after opening her eyes, only to discover that Matthew was lying beside her. But, he wasn't asleep as he was working on his laptop situated on his lap.
She flipped to the side and looked at the charming man before her.
He closed the computer and said to her before she could respond, "The chef has prepared lunch, so we're just waiting for you.”
"I don't want to get up."
Veronica, who was in bed, reached out with her arms to hug his waist and rubbed her cheek against her waist like a lazy kitten.
Then, I'll have someone bring it up."
"Forget it. I don’t want to cause a fuss. FH get up."
When she was about to get up, he remained unmoving, so she couldn't help but say, "Go outside. I'm going to get dressed."
"I've seen it all. There's no need to be shy."
