Chapter 738 Here Comes Veronica (101)
Veronica retorted, "Earlier in the underground parking lot, you couldn't take your eyes off those two pretty women."
Raymond raised his eyebrows.
"So, are you still angry about that thing?"
"Why should I be angry? You can be with whoever you like. It has nothing to do with me!" Veronica turned her face away from Raymond defiantly.
Raymond turned over and lay down beside Veronica. He put one arm around her slender waist. "I told them that I already have a girlfriend."
Veronica finally felt better. Beside her, Raymond rubbed the tip of his nose against her neck. It was itchy. Veronica squirmed away uncomfortably. But the hand at her waist pushed her back.
Suddenly, Veronica felt Raymond's finger pull her T-shirt collar towards her shoulder.
Veronica was shocked. She hurriedly pulled her collar back. "What are you doing?"
An obvious scar reflected in Raymond's eyes. He gently caressed the scar.
When Veronica tried to save Shirley that time, she was cut by a sharp thing on the railing of the stairs. The scabs had fallen off.
When Raymond's calloused fingers brushed past the scar, Veronica thought of how she got injured, and she shivered.
"Does it hurt?" Raymond looked into Veronica's eyes, and his tone was increasingly gentle.
All of a sudden, her ears heated up, and the place where Raymond was looking also felt hot.
Her heart almost melted.
"It doesn't hurt anymore," Veronica replied softly.
"I mean, did it hurt when you were injured?"
Veronica said honestly, "It did hurt a lot at that time. Fortunately, Mrs. Comte was there."
She felt that the arm around her waist held her tighter. "Sorry, I didn't see you at the time."
"It's alright." Raymond sounded regretful, but Veronica really didn't mind it. Veronica said with a smile, "Ms. Hopper was injured worse than me, so I should save her. Besides, I'm fine now, but Ms. Hopper is stil lying in the hospital."
Edwin said that Veronica was injured so badly that she almost couldn't stay standing at the time. If it wasn't for Winy, no one knew what would happen to Veronica.
Every time she thought of that scene, Veronica felt scared. But she could talk about it calmly now.
Veronica then moved out of the apartment.
Now that Veronica thought about it, she must have seen that Raymond only saved Shirley and did not save her, so she was disappointed and left so decisively. "If I have a second chance, I will save you first!" Raymond whispered in her ear.
Veronica was touched. Suddenly, she smiled. "She's injured more severely than me. Even if you want to save me first, I will ask you to save her first."
They finally talked it out, and the two felt closer to each other.
Raymond held Veronica tightly in his arms. His erection screamed his desires.
Veronica was shocked, and her face turned red. "No. Not today."
"Haven't you recovered?"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Veronica replied, "Yes, but I'm having my period."
Raymond was speechless.
The next morning, Veronica still felt weak. Looking at her, Raymond asked her to take a few more days off and stay at home to have a good rest. Veronica didn't want to, so Raymond drove her to school. When they passed the subway station, Veronica told Raymond to stop. She wanted to get out of the car. But Raymond grabbed her hand. "Your school is not here!"
Veronica looked around anxiously. After making sure there were no schoolmates around, Veronica was finally relieved. She turned around and explained, "We should be more careful so they won't misunderstand."
"Misunderstand? Are you afraid it will be bad for me if they find this out?" Raymond frowned. "You don't have to worry about such things!"
Veronica rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not afraid it will be bad for you. I'm afraid that it will be bad for me. I'm only a student. I won't be able to handle the gossip and rumors."
"You find it shameful to have me as a boyfriend?" Raymond's face darkened again.
"Do you want me to tell the truth?"
Raymond fell silent.
"Bye!" When he was not looking, Veronica quickly shook off his hand and got out of the car. She walked to the subway station, pretended Raymond wasn't there, and kept walking. "Drive!" Raymond said coldly with a gloomy face.
Devin started the car, sweating profusely.
Devin felt that someone would suffer today.
Veronica was not in the car, so she naturally didn't know how Raymond felt. She walked towards school in a good mood.
Before she reached the school gate, Veronica heard a man's anxious voice. "Parli Italiano?"
Many people were stopped by him, but most of them looked confused. They waved their hands at him and left.
Probably because he had been rejected too many times, that man looked frustrated. But he continued to ask the passersby the same question.
Veronica walked to him after another passerby waved him off.
When the man saw Veronica, there was a hint of disappointment on his face. He repeated the question without much hope, "Parli Italiano?"
"Posso!"
The moment Veronica spoke, the man's eyes lit up with surprise.
The man continued to ask in Italian, "Can you really speak Italian?"
Veronica smiled. "What can I help you with?"
"I'm new to this place. But I told the driver an address, and the driver brought me here. However, this is not my destination!" The man took out an address in Italian and handed it to Veronica. Veronica took a look and said, "It says that you are going to Western Street, and this is Eastern Street. You are indeed in the wrong place."
"Great, I finally got the right person." The man had a typical Westerner look: Golden hair and chiseled facial features. He politely asked Veronica, "Miss, do you know how I can get to this place?" "How about this? I'll get you a taxi and tell the driver where you are going."
"That's even better. Right..." The man looked at Veronica curiously. "What's your name? Why do you speak Italian so well?"
Seeing that he was friendly, Veronica introduced herself, "I am a fourth-year student in the Foreign Language Department of University A. My last name is Luke."
"My name is lan. This is the first time I came to this country," Ian introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you, lan. And welcome."
Veronica told lan to follow her to the side of the road. And suddenly a skulking man approached a pregnant woman, took her bag, and ran away.
Seeing this, Veronica rushed forward and caught the thief. The thief struggled, but Veronica knocked him to the ground. She pressed one knee against the man's back and took back the pregnant woman's bag
