Chapter 295 - THE ENEMY'S MOTIVE

"…Moreover, it was like they were keeping an eye on me for a long time and waiting for the opportunity to get me alone."

At Veronica's mention, Arthur knitted his eyebrows. 'I'll get them back for separating us for so long.

"And they are talking about advanced surgery. Not magic. What's advanced medical surgery anyway?" Veronica glanced at Ovior while talking.

Ovior raised his hands as if he surrendered. "Don't ask me. I never heard the term."

Veronica suggested, "We need to find out what that is."

Arthur interrupted her, "Before all that, think about this plan. The enemy wanted to separate us. What's their motive? Was their target Nica or me? I almost did something forbidden. If I succeeded in doing that, the world would be in chaos. Maybe their target was chaos."

Veronica shuddered. "All right, don't say something so scary. How in the world would someone come up with this critically ugly plan?"

Arthur tried to ease her, "I'm just stating this fact. Anyway, we have to be more careful."

"Damn it! Not again! If it wasn't for you hiding things from me, the enemy wouldn't get this opportunity in the first place. But you hid the news from me and acted on your own. Now, things turned out like this," Veronica snapped at him.

"I'm sorry…" Arthur's voice was hardly audible. He looked pitiful.

Ovior rubbed his temples. "Veronica, do me a favor and don't be too harsh on this guy. This is the first time he ever loved a girl. He doesn't know what to do and what he shouldn't do. He is trying to be sincere toward you the way he thinks it fits right. Try to tell him gently. Scolding him will only make him cautious around you."

Veronica glanced at Arthur who kept his head down. She took a deep breath and calmed down the fire inside her. "Fine, I'll do that."

"My wife is the best," Arthur couldn't stop praising his wife, leaving Veronica blushing.

Ovior frowned. He couldn't stand their lovey-dovey moments. For some unspeakable reason, it irritated him greatly. "Anyway, Veronica, do you remember the person who took you to that place and made you misunderstood?"

Veronica nodded. "Yes, I remember him. He is a local bartender. He owns that place. His name is Max."

"Max." Arthur furrowed his eyebrows. "I know that guy. So, he is behind the misunderstanding. I'll murder him. I'll send Felix to get him."

Veronica suggested, "Zinnia knows him. Why don't you ask her? Don't let Felix do all the chores."

"I'll do that," Arthur agreed without hesitation.

Ovior put his hand under his chin and analyzed Veronica's behavior. "I kind of like Veronica's transformation. I guess it was a good thing that you were not under Arthur for a while."

Veronica smirked. "You can only spread your wings in the open sky, not in the cage."

"Point taken."

"…" Unlike those two, Arthur looked gloomy.

That night, Veronica went to bed and tried to get some sleep. However, Arthur laid down beside her and hugged her.

"…Nica?"

Veronica heard his hesitant call but pretended not to hear him. She didn't want to have any private conversation with him.

Both of them had a fault in the misunderstanding and someone took advantage of it. The moment she realized how easy it was to break their relationship, she felt remorse. That's why she wasn't in the mood to chat with him.

Arthur noticed her regular heartbeat. He didn't talk anymore. His right hand slipped inside her nightgown and touched her skin.

"!!!" Veronica's eyelids trembled in surprise. For a moment, she held her breath. Her body involuntarily trembled when his warm fingertips caressed the area around her belly button.

It was a sensitive spot. She couldn't stand him teasing her weak area. She grabbed his hand and rebuked him, "What do you think you are doing?"

At her reproach, Arthur smiled. He leaned forward and planted a kiss on her face. "I'm touching my princess."

"Not now. I want to sleep." Veronica tried to move his hand away, but his fingers went from her right side to the left side and hugged her waist.

Arthur brushed his lips over her nape. "But you aren't sleeping."

Veronica shuddered in the process. She gritted her teeth and held back her moan. "I'm tired."

"Are you? Didn't you sleep for two days? Do you still have sleepiness in your eyes?" Arthur whispered in her ear.

'Of course not! How can I sleep when your hot breath is playing with my ear?!' she screamed inwardly but she didn't utter the words. She lied, "Yes, I have. So, let me sleep."

"You don't seem to be sleepy though. Look, your nipple is hard." Arthur playfully groped and fondled her right breast.

"Ahh… wait… Arthur!" Veronica's body jolted in pleasure. Her knees bent and her toes curled.

Arthur paid no heed to her words. Rather, he circled his fingers around her small mound without touching it. At the same time, his tongue licked the back of her neck.

Veronica's body gradually grew hotter. She licked her lips. Her small fruit gradually hardened, but she was unsatisfied it wasn't touched. Her heart felt somewhat lonely. She bit down her lower lip in order to prevent any kind of shameful sound that could come out of your mouth.

Arthur slipped his left arm under her body and kneaded her left breast. Her breasts were soft and bouncy like jelly. When he cupped them, they filled his large palms.

"Nica, did your breasts grow smaller when I wasn't around? It seems no one was there to massage them." It was like he meant to compliment her for being loyal. He bit down the back of her neck and sucked that area, leaving a red mark on her skin.

Veronica rolled her eyes.. "What do you think you are saying? Do I look like a man-craving woman to you? Hnng!" Despite feeling anger boiling in her heart, she couldn't help shuddering from his action.
