Chapter 378 I Will Bring You to Bloomstead

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Veronica was not used to Matthew’s burning gaze. A smile appeared on his handsome face then. Keeping his eyes straight ahead, he suddenly said, “You are pretty, Roni.”

You are pretty, Roni? Veronica had her hands on the steering wheel when the corners of her mouth violently twitched. She couldn’t help but throw him a glance. “Can you please behave like a normal human being?” she grumbled, somewhat nauseated by his sudden compliment.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Was this even still the indifferent, high-and-mighty Matthew from the time they first met? It was like he was a different person altogether!

“Hmm? Do you want to see the abnormal side of me?” The man looked back at her, his thin lips pulled up into a wicked smile. She could tell at a glance what he meant by that.

She quickly shifted her gaze in front as she drove cautiously. “My parents are still at home waiting for us to have lunch together.” “Sure. Let’s not make Dad and Mom wait for long then. We have plenty of time in the future—”

“Hey!” she exclaimed. “They are my dad and mom!” “Yes, and that makes them my dad and Mmm too.”

“We haven’t even planned the wedding. Stop with your nonsense, Matthew.” “It is bound to happen sooner or later anyway,” he smilingly said. She could see the joy on his face.

She somehow couldn’t find a word to say in return. There was nothing wrong with what he said. After they got the ointment, they headed back to her house.

While they were on the journey home, Veronica stuffed the ointment in his direction and instructed him, “Put some of that on your blisters.”

“There’s no need.” Ointment for just a few blisters? Matthew was too unbothered to do something so pretentious.

“Matthew Kings, is there something wrong with your brain?! Why did we go to town to get you that ointment if you weren’t going to use it?”

“I wanted to spend some time alone with you,” he admitted. All that couples who had only confirmed their relationship wanted was to have some time to themselves. Even time spent sitting around and idly talking could feel wonderful.

Veronica felt her heart break as she listened to his words. Out of nowhere, she started to pity him.

They soon arrived home and by the time that they did, the food had already been served on the table. The rest of them were waiting for Matthew and Veronica to come back before they started eating.
