"Huh?” Veronica was taken aback as she recalled that Matthew was still in the bathroom. If Yvonne bumped into him, she would definitely know what had happened in the bathroom earlier.
"I said I need to use the bathroom," Yvonne replied while heading toward the bathroom.
Her actions nearly scared the soul out of Veronica. Her thoughts raced, and her eyes lit up all of a sudden as she grinned, pretending to be calm. "I think it's better if you use the bathroom in your bedroom. It... It stinks really bad inside. The ventilation in this hotel is too poor." "All right."
Upon seeing Veronica raise her hand to fan her nose, Yvonne nodded dully and walked toward the bedroom.
Veronica took a few steps toward the living room and watched Yvonne enter the bedroom, making sure she heard the sound of the bathroom door closing in the bedroom before she let out a deep sigh and immediately opened the bathroom door. Instantly, she was met with Matthew's dark expression. His handsome face was slightly angry, and he fixed his dark eyes on her intently without blinking, complaining of his discontent.
"Hahaha..." Veronica smiled flatteringly and immediately went forward, tiptoeing to wrap her arms around his neck and kissing him on the cheek. "Oh, darling, I didn't do it on purpose."
Due to the urgency of the situation, she was forced to kick him back into the bathroom when she saw that he was about to come out. Who did she think he was? He had never suffered even when they were kidnapped by Xavier, but he got kicked by her today, which naturally made him angry.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, his sharp eyes narrowing. "Have you thought about how you'll die?"
"Yes, yes, I did."
"How?”
"Of old age, of course."
Matthew reached out and pinched her tender cheek, leaning in front of her as he said in a deep voice that was full of warning, "How delusional. If you have to die, you should do it in bed." "Okay, whatever you say." Veronica took his hand. "Hurry up and go. Quickly. If you delay any further, you'll be exposed."
Saying that, she dragged him out of the bathroom and pulled the door open before pushing him out.
"Roni, you—"
Bang!
Before Matthew could finish saying anything else, he turned around and the room door was flung shut with a bang, slamming directly into his nose. He clung to the door with a stiff body, and his hands that were hanging by the sides clenched together uncontrollably.
The next moment, he felt a sudden surge of warmth coming out from his nose. Gritting his teeth, Matthew raised his hand to touch his nose and looked down at his fingers. They were stained scarlet.
"Damn it!" he cursed, his eyes sparking with fire. However, all of a sudden, the corners of his lips curved up uncontrollably once more.
A door away, Veronica, who was in the living room, naturally did not know what had happened to Matthew. She let out a long sigh and went to sit on the couch. As her mind trailed uncontrollably to what had happened in the bathroom earlier, she couldn't stop herself from flushing red.
The next day, after Veronica finished her breakfast with Yvonne in the dining room, she said, "Yvonne, don’t go anywhere today and just stay in your room. I have some urgent matters to take care of, so I can t stay with you."
Using a spoon, Yvonne scooped a spoonful of warm milk and took a sip before raising her eyes to look at Veronica emptily. "Okay, got it." "I'll ask someone to send a computer over later. You can settle your work on the computer."
"Okay."
After finishing breakfast, Veronica sent Yvonne back to her room while she went downstairs and drove back to Twilight Condominium. Before going home, Veronica had called Matthew, who was waiting for her at home. Hence, when she entered the living room, he was already leaning against the door frame, waiting for her.
