Like a fiery tornado that swept through, the kiss was hot and crazed. The initial neat bed had turned into a mess after a few hours of bedroom warfare.
As the satisfied couple huddled together, Veronica lay against Matthew's chest. "Matt, I feel like I have to tell you this since you were best friends before. I saw Adrian hit Sasha the other day."
Veronica would always remember the slap Sasha had given her in the mourning hall.
However, Veronica had always been someone who could clearly tell apart a grudge from gratitude. She wouldn't harbor hatred for Sasha just for one slap.
"Sasha doesn't love Adrian, but Adrian does come from an unusual background. She..." Matthew paused and continued solemnly, "She brought it upon herself."
He and Skyler had warned Adrian to stay away from Sasha when he laid his hands on her before. Sasha was the one who went looking for Adrian after that.
It wasn't like Matthew and his friends could do anything when Sasha was the one voluntarily stepping into the lion's den.
Unfortunately, no one knew that the reason Sasha returned to Adrian again was to provoke Matthew.
First of all, she wanted to use Adrian's romantic feelings for her to provoke Matthew to let him know about his love for her. And second of all, if Matthew turned out to not love her, she could also attract Matthew's attention by getting into conflicts and getting beaten up by Adrian.
Men all loved meek women who depended on their men, and men were born to find pitiful women irresistible to not protect. That was what made Sasha think that those were the only ways she could 'awaken' Matthew's love for her.
However, Sasha did not have any self-awareness. She had no idea that everything she did was just to deceive herself.
Right then, Veronica's tummy started rumbling.
