Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew)
Chapter 1009

"Uhh..." Veronica hesitated, after which she awkwardly nodded. "Yes." For some reason, she felt guilty. She wondered whether Matthew would be angered if he were to know about her past with Mateo. As expected, her fear came true.

Leaning against the headboard of the bed with Veronica in his arms, Matthew said with fascination, "Tell me about your history with him."

"T-There's nothing to tell about him."

"Entertain me."

"Nothing much. Just a guy I know." Veronica sounded perfunctory and even impatient.

The man then leaned in on her and bit her lip. "Tell me."

"Ouch, that hurts!" Veronica raised her hand and gave his collarbone a forceful smack. "Ouch! Are you going to bite me dead?"

"If you refuse to tell me about him, I won't bite you dead, but I'll please you to death on the bed."

"I dare you!"

"Challenge gladly accepted." Naturally, Matthew did as Veronica asked. And so, he skillfully flaunted his shocking strength and speed.

Only a little over ten minutes later, Veronica reached her limit and surrendered in pain. "Okay, I give up! I'll confess, I'll confess..." Thereupon, with a tearless grimace, she withstood her awkwardness and recounted her past with Mateo to Matthew.

Upon listening to her story, the initially calm man immediately grew immensely jealous and began to 'torment' her out of spite.

Veronica moaned painfully, with tears flowing down her cheek as she stuttered, "M-Matt. You promised you won't dwell on it! You're such a bully!"

The man then leaned in and gently pecked her cherry lips. With a hoarse voice, he replied, "How is a wedded couple having fun bullying, hmm?" Mischievously, he snuggled against her neck and deliberately puffed as he fondled her hair. "It was you who so boldly challenged me. Why are you blaming me for trying to satisfy my wife now?"

Veronica was rendered speechless. This b*stard has the answer to everything! How hateful!

During the two hours of shenanigans, Matthew was also controlling himself from overwhelming the lady. After all, the ascension ceremony was to happen in two days, so there were many preparations he needed to handle.

Later, Matthew held Veronica in his arms as they had a long chat.

Veronica asked, "Why wasn't Crayson able to seal my memories? Instead, I've regained memories of everything from the past. This has confused me for a long time."

After a moment of hesitation, Matthew answered, "Do you still remember the underground chamber of Kings Residence, where something entered your body, leading to your intense headache?" "Of course."

"I've looked into it. Apparently, a venomous insect entered your body back then, and the secret skill Crayson used to seal your memories was cast by improvising to the venomous insect's presence. Thus, the sealing of memory most likely failed due to the venomous insect inside your body."

"Really? Will there be a side effect then?" Veronica couldn't help but be concerned.

"Yes."

"What then? Will I die?"

"As if I'll allow that. Don't worry. I have my own plan." With that, he advised, "I should go now. There are still so many arrangements that need my attention. Just remember to take good care of yourself." "One more thing." Veronica grabbed Matthew's arm. "That day, Crayson told me that my adoptive parents will be visiting the hidden clan, but it's been days yet they were nowhere to be seen. I'm worried that they might be Crayson's trump card..."

"Tiffany's adoptive parents were once Crayson's students, but who are yours?" Matthew inquired.

"I can't say for sure yet." Veronica shook her head. Heaving a sigh, she grasped Matthew's hand and continued in a sorrowful tone. "I'm scared... What if they are also Crayson's people?"

If that were true, Veronica would only see life as a tragedy. It was terrifying and ludicrous at the same time if all twenty-plus years of her life ever since her birth had been manipulated all this time. Embracing her in distress, Matthew patted her back and comforted, "Silly girl. Don't worry. I'll always be by your side."

"Okay." Veronica stuck her cheek against his chest, listening to his heartbeat and feeling the sense of security he provided to her. In a sense, she felt that Matthew was a harbor that sheltered a fragile boat that was her. She wanted to hold him tightly, yet the guilt in her heart troubled her.
