Chapter 733 Here Comes Veronica (96)
"He also said that he wanted to meet you. Regarding the kidnapping of Ms. Luke, he wanted to personally apologize to you and Ms. Luke!"
"We and the Black Snake Gang have never interfered with each other. Tell him that I won't meet him." Raymond heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Veronica might be coming downstairs. Veronica wanted to quietly go downstairs and not alarm Raymond, but unexpectedly, just as she arrived downstairs, she saw Raymond walk out from the study.
Seeing that familiar face, Veronica paused for a moment. Then she came down from upstairs with two boxes in her hands.
Raymond's gaze fell on Veronica's two boxes, and his black pupils suddenly contracted.
"What are you doing with your luggage?" Raymond's dark eyes shone with a cold light.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Because of Raymond's gaze, Veronica lowered her head, feeling guilty and not daring to meet his gaze. She explained, "I have thought about it. It is not suitable for me to live here. I will move back to my home."
It wouldn't be good for them to live together.
After all, they were no longer bound by the contract, and Veronica had no reason to stay here. Therefore, leaving this place was the best choice.
"Aren't you afraid that what happened last night will happen again?" Raymond lowered his eyes, his eyelashes covering his eyes. It was impossible to see his current expression, but his words were aggressive "You were the only one who was kidnapped yesterday. What will happen next time? Maybe the kidnappers will make a move on your friend and use her to threaten you."
Veronica's eyes widened. "Didn't you get someone to arrest Rodger last night?"
Raymond glanced at Veronica and leaned against the door frame of the study. He said seriously, "Do you think it is simple to arrest someone? That is illegal."
"So..." Veronica got anxious. "You let him go? Didn't you send him to the police station?"
Raymond snorted, "You need evidence if you want to send him to the police station. Do you have any evidence? As far as I know, the surveillance cameras of the community where your friend lives have been destroyed, and so are those in your neighborhood."
Yes!
If the surveillance cameras had not been destroyed, Rodger would not have taken Veronica away so brazenly.
As Raymond had said, if Veronica went back, it would undoubtedly be dangerous. Last time, Rodger failed to take her away. Next time, Veronica would probably not be so lucky.
Raymond continued indifferently, "This is a high-end residence. It is very difficult for ordinary people to come in. Moreover, the security and surveillance facilities in the residential area are complete. It is safer than ordinary residential areas."
Raymond made sense.
"Even so, I can't live here!" Veronica said awkwardly.
"Why?" Raymond stared into Veronica's eyes.
Veronica was forced into a corner by Raymond and shouted, "Only a couple can live together. If I live with you, how can I find a boyfriend?"
Raymond narrowed his eyes.
"It is very simple!"
"Why?"
"I will be your boyfriend!" Raymond gave his answer calmly.
This answer made Veronica's mind go blank. Her heart, which had calmed down, began to beat wildly.
Raymond said he wanted to be her boyfriend.
However, it didn't delight Veronica. She slowly calmed down and gritted her teeth. "Mr. Cordova, stop joking."
"I am not joking." Raymond approached Veronica step by step. Veronica was forced to retreat. Behind her were the stairs, and she could only step up.
Raymond was moving forward.
Veronica could only continue to retreat.
Raymond forced Veronica to the corner of the stairs. He closed in. Behind Veronica was the wall, and there was no way to retreat.
Facing Raymond's threatening eyes, Veronica gritted her teeth and reminded him, "Mr. Cordova, there is something between me and Justin. Aren't you afraid of affecting your reputation? It's not appropriate for us to be together."
"Why should I care about this? Just listen to me!" Raymond said with a chuckle.
Veronica was lost for words.
"What's more..." Raymond's face was pressed against her neck. His breath was scorching hot. Veronica was so nervous that her whole body was stiff. She could not breathe normally. Raymond whispered in her ear, "You gave me your first kiss, and my first kiss was given to you. Don't you want to take responsibility?"
As Raymond spoke, his lips moved closer to Veronica's lips. He was about to kiss her.
Veronica glanced at the dining room from the corner of her eyes. There was breakfast on it. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately shouted, "It's breakfast time. I'm starving. I want to eat breakfast."
No matter how gloomy Raymond's face was, Veronica escaped from Raymond's arms, went down the stairs, and ran towards the dining room.
Veronica touched her hot cheeks, picked up the bread on the table, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Raymond walked down the stairs and slowly walked up to the dining table before sitting down. He did not speak and only stared at Veronica's face.
Due to Raymond's gaze, Veronica felt that she had no appetite.
The bread in her mouth choked her.
So, Veronica put down the bread, picked up the milk, and took a sip.
She did not know how she finished breakfast.
After breakfast, Veronica cleaned up the dining table. Raymond was working in the study room while Veronica carried the box upstairs.
While Veronica moved the boxes upstairs, Raymond stayed in the study room. He reminded her to carry them one by one. It was tiring to carry two in one go. Veronica was a little angry.
Other people's boyfriends took the initiative to help their girlfriends carry things.
Forget it. As noble as Raymond was, he probably hadn't taken anything heavier than one kilogram since he was young, let alone helped Veronica carry the luggage. Returning to the second bedroom, Veronica took out her things one by one.
Her state of mind was different. Something was about to well up inside her.
...
Veronica went downstairs after packing up.
Because Marie had taken leave in the morning, Veronica had to prepare lunch.
As Veronica opened the fridge in the kitchen and saw the empty fridge, she was dumbfounded. Her eyes widened as she stared at the empty fridge.
There was nothing in the fridge.
Raymond walked past the kitchen and frowned at Veronica. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Veronica cried, "I want to prepare lunch, but there is nothing left in the fridge. I am going to the supermarket to buy some food."
Raymond put down the teacup in his hand. "Let's go."
"What do you want to do?"
"Aren't you going to the supermarket to buy groceries? This place is a little far from the supermarket. I'll drive you there!" Veronica was lost for words.
