Chapter 468 Each Takes What He Needs

Veronica was reminded of the ‘wild’ things that went down in the cave earlier as she stared at Matthew’s figure. She couldn’t stop herself from blushing, and there was even an odd sense of joy that bubbled within her as she thought about it. Right then, Skyler came over with a bottle of beer. “Here you go. You’ll have to finish three bottles as punishment,” he teased.

“Fine, fine. It’s my fault, anyway.” She took the beer from him and chugged it while thinking… Doesn’t Matthew like Sasha? Why would he get involved with me?

Is that why he was so wild and passionate earlier?

Furthermore, I don’t have a boyfriend, so… what I’m doing isn’t wrong, is it? Veronica felt better after comforting herself a little.

“Woah, your alcohol tolerance is impressive, Veronica,” someone commented. “Roni’s tolerance is no joke!” “How impressive. She drank it all without hesitating.” “It really seems like no amount of alcohol can get you drunk, Demoness.”

“Woah, woah. That’s great. You’re so cool, Veronica.”

Everyone cheered for Veronica as she finished all three bottles of beer. Then, she took a seat on the ground beside Larry as he handed her a few skewers. “Here. Try some of my cooking.” There were fried fish cakes, squids, and some meat. These were all Veronica’s favorite foods, and she was shocked that Larry remembered her preferences.
