Never Judge

Chapter 233 - 233

"You're right." Nicole said with a nod. "But I think I can explain the other details. Nurse Jen isn't used to wearing more feminine outfits, and with Alexi here I can assume she decided to wear something a little bit more revealing. So that plus her unease, that's probably why she was adjusting her clothes when she came out of my brother's office." Nicole explained.

"Then why was she there in the first place?" Veronica asked.

"Because Miguel always tells her when Alexi is around." Nicole shrugged. 

"And Miguel fixing his clothes when I arrived?" Veronica asked.

"Miguel has a lucky operating shirt." Nicole said with a laugh. "He probably just changed out of it when you walked in."

"Actually, Miguel did just come from Adrianna's room right before Katerina called me to come up." Ayanna said. "That wouldn't have been enough time for Miguel to cheat on you."

"So he didn't cheat?" Veronica asked.

"I told you, I didn't." Veronica jumped at the sound of her husband as Miguel came up from behind her. He placed an arm around her waist and kissed her. "I swear I've never cheated on you."

Veronica remained rigid in his arms, she refused to move and her pride stopped her from apologizing. 

"Shouldn't you apologize to me?" Miguel whispered into her ear.

Veronica paused and suddenly kissed Miguel on the lips, it wasn't just a simple peck. Miguel was very much satisfied with her apology, but he still wanted more. He held her tighter by the waist, and Veronica gasped in reaction to his movements. Miguel took advantage of this and stuck his tongue in, deepening the kiss.

"Seriously?" Ram complained, as he turned and left. Miguel could hear Alexi laughing behind him as he invited the girls to leave.

When they separated they were alone in the hallway, it seemed everyone had decided to give them their privacy.

"V, I'm exhausted. Do you mind if we go home to my villa and sleep?" Miguel asked, as he kept his arm around his wife's waist. 

Veronica nodded as she blushed. Miguel laughed, his wife was clearly embarrassed by their public make out session earlier. She buried her head on his chest and he kissed her on the top of her head.

By the time they walked out of the hospital it was already past midnight. Miguel noticed that there were only two cars left at the parking lot, it seemed that only he and Cedric were left in the hospital. Everyone must have already gone to their own villa or to Ray's for dinner. 

A driver brought Miguel's and Veronica's car over, Miguel helped Veronica in before climbing in after her. Even in the car he refused to let go of his wife, she squirmed constantly beside him making Miguel groan.

When they arrived at Miguel's villa, he picked her up and carried her bridal style over the threshold. His sudden movements made Veronica wrap her arms around his neck prompting a grin to emerge from Miguel's lips.

"Are you hungry?" Veronica asked, in an attempt to change the awkward moment. 

"A little." Miguel admitted as he walked her over to the bedroom. He gently placed her on the bed and kissed her on the lips.

"I'll ask a maid to cook something." Veronica said, as she jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen.

Miguel felt anxious when after five minutes Veronica still hadn't returned. He walked over to the kitchen to find her talking with his personal chef. 

"Doc Chan!" His personal chef greeted in a friendly tone. Miguel had hired this man over five years ago and brought him everywhere he went. The chef was quite familiar with his tastes and what he liked especially after a tiring operation. Miguel smiled and nodded back as he wrapped his arm around Veronica again. He was pleased that she no longer flinched at his touch unlike in the past.

"I was worried when you were gone for so long." Miguel told his wife.

"Oh." Was the only reply he got from Veronica.

"When will dinner be ready?" Miguel asked the chef.

"Two minutes sir. I started cooking as soon as Nurse Jo called to say the operation was over." His chef said.

Miguel nodded and pulled Veronica to the dining room. 

"How's your hand?" Veronica asked as she looked at his bandaged hand. She felt guilty about his injury, it wouldn't have happened if she had just listened to him in the first place.

"Don't worry about it." Miguel told her lovingly.

"You could have lost your ability to help people because of me." Veronica said in a sad tone.

"Don't worry about it." Miguel said again. 

Soon the chef and several maids came in and served them dinner. Miguel watched as Veronica ate a little of every dish that was served. Since he too was hungry he turned his attention back to his food. 

After dinner they washed up separately, Miguel in the master bathroom and Veronica in the guest bathroom. Earlier, while they were eating a maid from Veronica's villa had brought over some clothes and other necessities. Miguel smiled at the sight, it meant she would at least stay in his villa. 

When he came out of the shower, he found Veronica sitting on his bed. She was staring at him as he came out with only a towel wrapped around his waist hiding his manhood. It seemed when she realized she was staring, so she turned around to let him change.

"I guess it's the couch for me again tonight." Miguel said with a laugh trying to dispel the awkward situation. 

"Is sleeping on the couch uncomfortable?" Veronica shyly asked as Miguel dressed himself.

"A little. My back hurts sometimes, but it's alright. I don't mind, as long as we sleep in the same room it's fine with me." Miguel confessed. 

Miguel was still shirtless when Veronica turned back around to face him. He could see her look at his chest and abs, her gaze made him walk up to her and plant a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Like what you see V?" Miguel asked with a laugh. 

"No." Veronica quickly answered as she turned her head in a different direction.

Miguel laughed and finally placed on his shirt. 

"I'll ask the maids for an extra set of pillows and a blanket." Miguel said as he walked towards the door.

"Wait. No need." Veronica suddenly said.

"V, don't do this to me. Don't give me hope." Miguel said, with his voice full of pain.

"Sleep beside me on the bed tonight." Veronica weakly said. She was clearly unsure and quite shy about her decision.

Miguel turned with a large smile on his face. He didn't waste any time as he climbed into bed with Veronica and kissed her.

"Sleep only." Veronica managed to say between the assault of kisses.

"I know, I know. I just like kissing you." Miguel said as he gave her one passionate kiss and lay back down.

"Behave." Veronica warned. 

Miguel simply laughed as he wrapped an arm around his wife and slept.
