Chapter 318 Love

Matthew responded, “Okay. I promise.”

“Thank you.” As soon as Veronica said that, Matthew stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her intently with a disapproving gaze. “I do not wish to hear that from you again.”

She then pouted at his response. “Why are you so bossy?”

“I don’t want us to be such strangers. That’s all.”

 

She held her tongue as warmth began to enfold her due to his straightforward answer. They continued strolling, wandering around the plum trees. The flowers bloomed and tinted the flurry of snow with red and pink. It was a sight to behold.

As the delicate snow brushed against her face, she relished in the flowers before reaching out her hand unconsciously to hold his. Subsequently, she pointed out something that was ahead of them. “Look! It’s so pretty. The yellow flowers at my place are nothing compared to these.”

Feeling the warmth wrapping around his hand, he glanced at her little hand that was holding his before letting out a genuine smile. “Yeah, it’s pretty.”

“Isn’t it? Told you that it would be awesome to see it with your own eyes. It feels different during winter.” Like an innocent child, Veronica let go of his hand and walked toward the tree to take a closer look at the flowers. The wide smile on her face expressed her love for the view.

Just like that, Matthew trailed behind her silently while his eyes zeroed in on her, watching her being free and happy while playing. As though her merriment had rubbed off on him, his heart was filled with contentment and pure joy.

Once the nervousness melted away with blissful peace, everything seemed to be perfect.

After roaming around to her heart’s content, Veronica was finally willing to return to Matthew’s side. Staying covered underneath the umbrella, she rubbed her hands profusely, trying to warm herself up. “Huff. It’s freezing cold.”

Matthew put his hand on top of hers and yanked her into his embrace, then proceeded to hug her with his jacket. “Are you still feeling cold now, Little Roni?”
