At first, Darius was just teasing her out of habit. However, Veronica took his joke too seriously which made him suspicious.
'This is fun,' he thought. 'I should make fun of her a bit more.'
Just as he planned, he remarked. "Arthur said he punished you so much that you couldn't get up from bed in the morning."
Veronica was flabbergasted, just the way he expected.
"No… no way. Arthur would n-never speak such vulgar words." She was so nervous that she was stammering.
Darius grinned. "I got you, didn't I? You are the one who said you didn't like sex but I guess Arthur made you think otherwise- oww!"
He flinched when Zinnia slapped his head hard.
"Don't listen to the jerk. It's normal between couples. Nothing to hide or feel embarrassed about," she tried to ease flustered Veronica. "By the way, are you okay to train?
Veronica blushed furiously when she heard that question. "I'm fine! I can train."
