Chapter 321 A Kick in the Face

“You…” Veronica stared at Matthew intently as her eyes began to tear up. “Stay safe.”

She didn’t know what she was supposed to say. There were so many words at the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them, leaving only those two words that had escaped her lips.

“There’s nothing you wanna say to me?” Lowering his head, Matthew locked eyes with hers and pinched her nose. “Hmm?”

Her fair nose was tinted with red due to his affectionate touch. “Yeah, nothing.”

Rather than nothing, she didn’t know how to convey the mixed feelings that were churning in her stomach into words. Meanwhile, Matthew, who didn’t receive the answer he wanted, was upset.

However, when he placed his finger on her forehead and parted his lips, he lost his voice as he didn’t know what to say either.5

After their gazes intertwined for a long time, the man sighed silently. “Fine. I’ll leave now.”

He rose to his feet and headed for the door without looking back.

“Wait!” Veronica got up and grabbed his arm. “H-How long are you going to be there?”

Accepting his confession yesterday was totally out of the plan, but she grew dependent on him after merely spending that one steamy night together. Despite the heavy heart of seeing him go, she still couldn’t express her reluctance.

Matthew halted and turned sideways to look at her from the corner of his eyes. “When do you want me to return to the country?”

Frowning, she contemplated for a moment. “Work is important. Take good care of yourself and give me a message once you arrive there.”

At that, Matthew shut his eyes and took a deep breath before turning around to hover over her. He held her chin with his fingers and, with a deep voice, he questioned, “Anything else?”
