CHAPTER 1287 BEEN THERE, DONE THAT
He punished her by biting her lip, causing Shirley to gasp in pain. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Lazlo and I are just friends. He has been very kind to me lately at One Piece Restaurant," Shirley explained.
"Am I still hearing you explaining yourself?!"
Skyler pressed her against the door, silencing her so he wouldn't have to listen to her explanations anymore.
Lost in their passionate kiss, they were just starting to feel heated and restless when suddenly...
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone was knocking on the living room door.
Both of them, with their eyes closed, opened them at the same time and looked at each other.
Shirley's face turned red with embarrassment and she pushed Skyler away, wiping her red lips with her hand. "W-Who is it?"
"It's me."
Veronica's voice rang out from outside.
Immediately, Shirley's cheeks turned as red as a tomato.
Giving Skyler a reproachful look, she straightened her clothes and opened the door. "Roni, President Kings. Why...did you change back to your old appearance?"
"Mmm,"
Matthew responded without explaining.
It was Veronica who looked at Shirley's flushed cheeks and her swollen lips from being kissed. "Matt, I told you not to come in now. Look, you've interrupted them."
Veronica immediately blamed Matthew.
Facing her teasing, Shirley immediately covered her cheeks with her hand. "Oh, Roni, please don't make fun of me."
Skyler had already walked over to the table and sat down, saying, "Roni, Shirley will hide in a burrow if you say anything more."
"Hahaha, alright, I'll stop."
Veronica hugged Shirley's neck and encouraged her, "It's okay. Been there, done that."
While the two were talking, Matthew had already walked over to sit next to Skyler.
At this point, Veronica lowered her voice and handed something to Shirley. "Here, this medicine might come in handy for you."
"What is it?" Shirley asked quietly.
"It's contraception, of course," Veronica whispered. "One dose lasts for half a month. It doesn't harm the body. You don't have to use it if you don't want to."
"Wow, Roni, you're amazing."
Shirley hugged Veronica tightly, feeling deeply moved.
"What are you two talking about?" Skyler took a sip of water and looked over.
Shirley stuffed the things into her pocket and pouted. "It's a secret; I'm not telling you." She then held Veronica's hand and urged, "Come on, Roni. Let's go to my room. I want to chat with you."
"Okay."
Veronica knew that Matthew and Skyler had something to discuss, so she went to the next room with Shirley.
Now that there were only two people left in the living room, Matthew's expression was serious as he mentioned, "Zac already knows my identity. He will definitely come after me and Roni on the day of the hunting ceremony. So, you need to join us that day."
As Skyler was a doctor, it would be safest with him around.
"No problem. But can I come in?" Skyler was a bit worried.
"I will make the arrangements."
After Matthew finished speaking, he furrowed his brow and pondered for a while before asking, "Do you remember the underground chamber in Kings Residence last year?"
"Yeah? What's wrong?"
"At that time, an invisible and tasteless substance entered Roni's body. She had a splitting headache, but then there was no reaction. I still haven't figured out what it was. It's been bothering me."
He had thought that he could investigate this matter after coming to the hidden clan, but so far, he had gained nothing.
He continued, "However, I suspect it might be the venomous insects of the hidden clan. However, very few people in the hidden clan have seen these insects, so it's hard to be sure."
