Chapter 699
\nA Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 699<\/p>\n
To get into a real relationship?<\/p>\n
Veronica thought that there was something wrong with her ears and that she had heard it wrong.<\/p>\n
“Mr… Mr. Cordova, what did you say?” She asked, trying to confirm what she heard.<\/p>\n
Raymond looked at her with a smile.<\/p>\n
Then, he enunciated each word, “I say, the two of us can become a couple. That way, all the rumors will prove groundless, and people won’t judge you anymore.”<\/p>\n
Veronica was speechless.<\/p>\n
She thought, ‘He sounded very reasonable and yet ridiculous. How is that gonna happen?’<\/p>\n
“Well… Mr. Cordova, are you joking with me?” Veronica gave him a sullen glare.<\/p>\n
But Raymond stared at her seriously with his lip curled a bit. “Do I look like I’m joking?”<\/p>\n
Veronica was lost for words.<\/p>\n
It was true that he didn’t look like he was joking. But … what he said was nonsense!<\/p>\n
If the two were in a relationship, that would be rather strange!<\/p>\n
“Well… Mr. Cordova, let’s not make a joke of a relationship. Besides, we come from two completely different families. That means us being in a relationship will have serious consequences, ones that are worse than what I was suffering from before.”<\/p>\n
After all, people would forget a rumor very quickly. A fact, however, would stir up trouble in a more serious way.<\/p>\n
“If it’s Cordova Group that you’re worried about, then drop your worry. I will not let that happen since I am very badass.”<\/p>\n
Veronica didn’t know what to say.<\/p>\n
She just smiled awkwardly.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Cordova, that is not it. It is…” Veronica said solemnly, “Mr. Cordova, I have never been in a relationship before. That means you will become my first love, even though we’re just faking. I do not intend to give away my first time just like this. It should be someone special.”<\/p>\n
Raymond asked rhetorically, “Why do you think that the two of us cannot be true lovers?”<\/p>\n
Veronica was stunned.<\/p>\n
What did he mean?<\/p>\n
“Mr. Cordova, we don’t know each other well, and we don’t have any feelings for each other either. This is simply not right.”<\/p>\n
“We will have feelings afterward. Moreover, since we have been living together for over a month, we actually aren’t strangers to each other.”<\/p>\n
Living together?<\/p>\n
Veronica was dumbfounded.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Cordova, since when did we live together?”<\/p>\n
“We live in the same building, remember?” Raymond explained in earnest.<\/p>\n
Veronica was speechless.<\/p>\n
She thought, ‘That is true. But the way you put it sounded like something else…’<\/p>\n
“Mr. Cordova, I think you are mistaken. I don’t think I will have feelings for you even in the future. I mean, we are very different, which means we aren’t meant to be together.” Veronica tried hard to talk Raymond out of it.<\/p>\n
Veronica wondered how things ended up like this.<\/p>\n
Raymond smiled at Veronica, “Veronica, what is to be worried about?”<\/p>\n
Veronica was shocked again by how intimately he was calling her.<\/p>\n
She coughed lightly, trying to avoid Raymond’s gaze. “Well… Mr. Cordova, you must not be yourself today. That’s why you’ve said that. But don’t worry…”<\/p>\n
Veronica promised word by word, “I will pretend that I didn’t hear any of that and will never think of it.”<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Raymond thought, ‘She actually said that she would pretend she didn’t hear what I just said!<\/p>\n
That’s not gonna happen.’<\/p>\n
Then he approached Veronica step by step.<\/p>\n
Noticing that, Veronica retreated subconsciously.<\/p>\n
Since the room was not spacious, in just a few steps, Veronica was pressing herself against the wall behind her. There was no space left for her to retreat anymore. Meanwhile, Raymond’s body kept moving toward her aggressively.<\/p>\n
After Veronica was cornered, Raymond jerked his arms up, sandwiching Veronica between them so as to block Veronica’s way to escape. Then he lowered his head, his breath approaching Veronica.<\/p>\n
Raymond’s breath landed on Veronica’s neck. His lips were so close to touching Veronica’s face. Veronica, whose heart was racing, called out to stop Raymond immediately.<\/p>\n
“Raymond! No. You…” Veronica hurried to remind him, “I haven’t agreed to be your girlfriend yet. You can’t do this to me. Otherwise, I will hate you.”<\/p>\n
But Raymond’s head was just hovering above Veronica’s neck. He didn’t touch her, despite being rather intimate.<\/p>\n
Then he lightly breathed out the air on Veronica’s neck.<\/p>\n
That made Veronica feel a surge of heat all around her body.<\/p>\n
“I am myself. I know what I was talking about.” Raymond whispered into Veronica’s ear, “Veronica, don’t worry. I won’t touch you unless it’s consensual. But that doesn’t mean I’ll give up. I’ll wait till you agree.”<\/p>\n
What Raymond said was a way of him showing his determination.<\/p>\n
Veronica trembled a bit at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4030","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/4030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
