Chapter 1260
Twilight Condominium
Veronica Murphy and Abby Wright were engrossed in conversation in the living room, but Veronica Murphy seemed preoccupied.
As she glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, she realized that an hour and a half had passed since they had come upstairs. She wondered what they had been discussing. Lost in her thoughts, the living room door suddenly swung open.
Matthew Kings and a few of his friends entered, but their expressions indicated that nothing significant had happened. Caleb Shaw waved at Abby Wright and said, “Rui Rui, let’s go home.”
“Veronica, we’re heading back first,” Miguel Lynch greeted Veronica Murphy as he approached, raising an eyebrow. “We don’t want to disturb your private time.”
Veronica Murphy stood up and smiled. “Is Yan Ming in a hurry to go back because he has a date?”
Caleb Shaw remarked, “He’s been single for thirty years. Who would go on a date with that old man?”
His friends made a merciless comment. Miguel Lynch’s face darkened as he glared at Caleb Shaw. “You’re being annoying, Caleb. How about we have Matthew arrange for Eleanor Gomez to accompany you?”
Upon hearing the name “Eleanor Gomez,” Caleb Shaw immediately surrendered. “Alright, my bad. I spoke too much.” He couldn’t help but chuckle. “Not many people can handle My Queen’s temper.”
“Do you think so too?” Miguel Lynch looked at Matthew Kings and patted his shoulder. “Even someone as reserved as you can see how difficult it is for me. You owe me a favor, so find a chance to repay it.”
Matthew Kings smiled and nodded. “No problem.”
After bidding farewell to their friends, Veronica Murphy returned to the living room and saw Matthew Kings standing behind her. She walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his waist, and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips. “Honey, I miss you so much~”
Rarely taking the initiative, her passion burned like fire. Matthew Kings raised an eyebrow and held her waist, which was just a handful. “Tell me, what do you want to know?”
Being attentive for no reason, he suspected she had ulterior motives or was hiding something. With his wife being so proactive, there must be something going on.
Veronica Murphy pursed her lips and took his hand, leading him to sit on the sofa. She turned to face Matthew Kings, crossed her legs, and sat down. “I don’t want to ask you anything, but I want to tell you that I don’t like it when you keep things from me and bear the burden alone.”
Although they hadn’t known each other for long, most of the time, it was Matthew Kings who made the effort. His intense love made her incredibly happy, but she often wondered what she could do for him.
Matthew Kings, with his handsome face and a faint smile, lowered his gaze and held her hand. “These are just minor matters. You don’t need to worry. If one day things become too overwhelming for me, even if I don’t say it, you will still know.”
“But…”
She wanted to say something more, but he cupped her face with both hands. “Stop with the ‘buts. Right now, all I ‘want’ is you!”
He leaned down and kissed her lips. It was a passionate kiss, igniting a blazing fire. The two of them, like a long drought meeting refreshing rain, wholeheartedly embraced the night.
It had been a few days since Matthew Kings had been able to sleep with Veronica Murphy. He held her in his arms, wanting to sleep well, but whenever he caught a whiff of her faint fragrance, even if it was just a strand of hair brushing against his nose, he felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen, unable to restrain the trembling throughout his body.
“Roni, can we…”
He placed his large palm on her cheek, pleading, “Do it again?”
Veronica Murphy, exhausted from the past two or three hours, closed her eyes and shook her head in a daze. “No, I’m tired~”
“You lie down, I’ll take care of it.”
With those words from Matthew Kings, he flipped over and took charge.
