CHAPTER 1194 KNOCK

…

As Veronica leaned against the door, she looked at him with wide eyes. "Hehe, what does this have to do with me?"

Unable to meet Matthew's gaze directly, she nervously turned her head to look elsewhere.

This was amazing, in a way.

Liam had already given her a headache; now Mateo had come along. Veronica felt overwhelmed.

"How does this not have anything to do with you?"

He leaned down and pressed his forehead against hers.

As the man suddenly approached, a sense of oppression overwhelmed Veronica, causing her breath to hitch.

With a strong will to survive, she shook her head. "It's their business if they like me. I only like you."

She looked up, her bright eyes gazing at him, the sincerity in her eyes making it hard to doubt.

"Oh?" Matthew raised an eyebrow. "Is this your confession to me?"

He was secretly elated. Content © copyrighted by .

"Not really." Veronica shook her head without hesitation.

"Why not?"

"I have liked you for a long time, and you already know that. Why else would I marry you? So, I'm just stating a fact, not confessing."

Veronica explained seriously, putting a smile on Matthew's face. "Is there a difference?" the man asked.

"Of course. It's a fundamental difference."

"So, are you trying to tell me that you liked me a long time ago but don't like me anymore?"

The series of questions made Veronica feel like Matthew was trying to catch her off guard.

"Not exactly. You are now the father of my two precious children. We are a family. Relatives."

"Only family bond, no romantic love?"

"Is there a difference?" This time, it was Veronica's turn to counter with a question.

Instantly, Matthew's face turned gloomy. He tightened his hand around her waist, lightly pinching her. "Could it be that you no longer love me and want to love someone else? It seems that I haven't been good enough lately..."

He drawled, directly picking up Veronica while locking the door with his other hand. Then, he walked to the bed and gently placed Veronica on it before he pressed himself onto her.

"Hey, don't mess around. They are all outside. We're done for if they find out."

Veronica reminded him, asking him to calm down.

"I don't care. I'm about to lose my wife. It doesn't matter even if we are discovered." Matthew grabbed the blanket, wrapping both of them inside.

Following that was his passionate kiss that was so intense they lost themselves in it.

But in Veronica's head, she couldn't help but think about Matthew's words just now. 'I don't care. I'm about to lose my wife. It doesn't matter even if we are discovered.'

For some reason, even though this sentence completely didn't match Matthew's usual way of speaking, Veronica found it cute after hearing him say it.

It was hard to imagine that the word "cute" could be used to describe Matthew.

Her heart fluttered when she thought about this, and she took the initiative to hug Matthew's neck before reciprocating the kiss.

The temperature inside the blanket rose, and the couple's breathing grew erratic.

By the time Veronica returned to her senses, they were already naked, enjoying the pleasure of love.

Knock, knock, knock...

Suddenly, a knocking came from outside the door, interrupting their joy.

Veronica was about to reach the peak of pleasure, but because of the knocking sound, everything came to a halt, leaving her in a state of torment.

"Who is it?"

Suppressing the discomfort in her body, Veronica cleared her throat, trying to make her voice sound as normal as possible.

"It's me."

It was a gentle voice. Veronica could tell it was Hayley.

Pursing her lips, she glanced at the man on top of her and moved her red lips. She felt both embarrassed and helpless.

"Do you need something?" she asked again.

Matthew held her gently, not daring to move or make a sound in case the person outside discovered their shameful act.
