Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 85

　　The couple had a couple more rounds of lovemaking before the heated passion between them subsided and now are content to cuddle each other on the bed.

　　It's past midnight yet the two were still widely awake, exhaustion apparent in Veronica's eyes but their topic is important that her earlier drowsy state changed.

　　"If that's the case, then allow me to send some men for our cubs. I'm not saying that I distrust your uncle's capability, nor of your family's men, it's just that having to finally meet them and be separated from them for the time being made me want to be assured by planting my own men around them."

　　"That's not a problem. I could talk out with Uncle Bien so that your men and uncle's men would have better coordination", replied Veronica, stifling a yawn.

　　Her bare soft and beautiful shape of mound directly touches the same bare hard chest of the man.

　　Rawlf was kissing her hair, then forehead from time to time in devotion while caressing the naked woman's body in full gentleness and adoration.

　　"No, my love, since I'm coming with you to send our cubs back to Country R, then allow me to talk to your parents and also with your uncle. At least in this way, I can show my sincerity and regret towards them."

　　"Rawlf " Veronica sighed in disagreement, "there's nothing for you to feel regretful. You were

　　innocent, by circumstance and by conscience. I you were not aware of it. So stop thinking that

　　you're partly at fault by whatever that has happened."

　　"I know, my love. I know. But despite it all, please allow me with it for the meantime. Regretting means I have something to learn from. And that also means I have something for me to prevent from happening ever again. And that means leaving you alone, on your own, with our cubs."

　　"We are so lucky. I and our cubs are just by having you. So please, aside from thinking for our

　　safety, please do us a favor by also keeping yourself safe.... all the time " Veronica turned her

　　head to look at the man beside her in the eyes.

　　No more words needed. The look between the two is enough for both to understand the meaning of what transpired. Rawlf answered and assured her by snaking his left arm around her waist tightly, but still gentle enough not to suffocate her. Veronica on the other hand buried her face in Rawlf's chest as she also cuddled him on the waist.

　　Hearing the woman's steady breath, Rawlf's closed eyes opened, its sharp glint could be seen from the lightly dim room. He carefully settled the woman in his embrace and moved out the bed. Later, the man was out the bedroom's veranda holding the phone in his ear.

　　"How was it?" His voice was as sharp as his eyes.

　　"Tightly secured, President. Like what you instructed, the torture was just mild."

　　"Good. I'll be visiting the headquarters by tomorrow." "Yes President. We'll get everything ready."

　　Rawlf then dropped the call and returned inside the room. His eyes were still sharp even after he settled himself on the bed.

　　The ruthless Rawlf Sy. Rawlf's Sy inseparable nature. He stayed like that for half an hour, obviously deep in thinking, or better put, pacifying the cold-blooded beast in him.

　　When his line of sight caught the woman's sleeping face beside him, his sharp eyes turned softer and his tightly shut lips smirked pleasantly. He gently moved his hand to caress her face. Starting from her calm eye-brows to her closed eyes touching her eyelids in the process. He

　　then moved to her nose and down to her delicate yet full lips.

　　The lips he's obsessed about. Not being contented with just touching it, he replaced it with his thin, rosy lips.

　　Later, he once snaked her waist with her arms, his instinctive mannerism every time the woman was lying beside him.

　　Smelling her warm, vanilla scent, Rawlf closed his eyes in the process then sighed gently, in pleasant relief.

　　Afterwards, his breath also steadied, signaling that he entered his blissful dreamland.

　　"Hmm, you mean you finally seemed to have a lead yet it suddenly vanished?"

　　Edward was munching on some chips while comfortably sitting on a swivel chair. He kept turning it around and by the process of doing so, it squeaked making Zero uncomfortable.

　　"Would you please stop doing that, young master?"

　　Edward stopped after hearing so, yet his eyes widened in disbelief, his hands full of chips hanging in the air.

　　"Zero, are you by chance, having this mild OCD?!"

　　Zero's mouth twitched. Was his lady Cleopatra's younger brother stupid or just plain stupid?! Zero sighed yet chose to answer, "More like a peeve, young master."

　　"Oh yeah! That's the term. Anyway, go on with your report", Edward replied as he continued munching chips.

　　Zero was about to say something when Edward cut him once again. "Oh!" The young lad suddenly stood up as if a realization dawned on him.

　　"I realized that I was eating something unhealthy here, Zero. Maybe I should return back to that brother-in-law's house to eat something healthy. You should join me."

　　Zero, who was trying to hide his deadpan face, couldn't keep up with it anymore and just looked at the young man around his age in front of him. What is unhealthy? Lady Cleopatra's personal chef has been cooking for him for the last two days of his stay, ah!

　　This young master is so spontaneous that Zero finds it hard to keep up with him!

　　"Young master Edward, Lady Cleopatra, your older sister, hasn't given an order that needs me to go out of the headquarters. So please pardon me if I won't be able to accompany you."

　　"Oh, what a killjoy! Come on! I'll call my sister. Anyway, you're not doing anything here! So accompany me."

　　Zero could only nod his head. Anyway, by no means, if he wouldn't directly hear the go signal from the lady, her younger brother won't be able to force him out of Baelforce headquarters.
