Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129

“Matthew, have you gone to sleep?”

Matthew pressed his cell phone against his left ear. When he heard the voice on the other end of the line, a flicker of impatience flashed across his eyes. “Not yet.”

“… miss you.” Tiffany‘s voice sounded especially soft like a drizzling rain in spring.

“Rest early. I‘ve got something to deal with over here, so I‘m hanging,”

“Matthew, my parents aren‘t home today, so I‘m a little scared of being alone. C Could you come over and keep me company?” Tiffany spoke her mind after hesitating for a long time..

However, Matthew didn‘t choose to keep Tiffany company because of the latter‘s plea. Instead, he replied coldly, “I‘ve got something to deal with at the moment. Let‘s talk later,” and hung up right away.

Sitting next to the man, Veronica couldn‘t make out who was talking on the other end of the line, but she vaguely figured out from Matthew‘s words that the person was probably Tiffany. Why is he so indifferent to his future wife? Did he have a quarrel with her yesterday or something? Instead of saying anything, she merely kept looking out of the window, watching as the car sped toward the biggest amusement park in Bloomstead from the downtown area.

Neither Veronica nor Matthew spoke on the way, and the atmosphere in the car was especially grave with a hint of oppression.

An hour later, the car arrived at the biggest amusement park in Bloomstead.

After Thomas stopped the car, Matthew and Veronica opened the car door and got out of the car.

Standing at the amusement park‘s entrance, Veronica looked up to see the soaring Ferris wheel in the amusement park, which looked especially beautiful as it spun with its neon lights flashing.

“Let‘s go in.” Matthew watched as Veronica stood in place while looking up at the Ferris wheel. Her expression was especially clear under the light; even the hint of sadness in her eyes was clearly revealed.

Thomas went to take care of the amusement park‘s staff, whereas Matthew and

Veronica entered the park together. All the park‘s attractions were available and waiting for the two to play.

It wasn‘t until they entered the amusement park and saw the fun attractions that Veronica said with a sigh, “My family‘s poor. When I was little, my parents would only take me to the park when I ranked top of my class in the exam. All the park has are some small attractions like bumper cars, children‘s roller–coaster, and carousel. Even so, I still think that things were pretty nice when I was a child.” Now that she had grown up, she could own everything she wanted, but she was no longer as happy as she had been during her childhood. Furthermore, she wished she could travel back in time to her childhood.

Matthew sensed clearly the sadness and disappointment in Veronica‘s words. Turning his head to look at the woman, he said softly, “Which attractions do you want to play? I‘ll play with you.”

Veronica shook her head with a quiet sigh. “You don‘t have to.” Even if she wanted to play, there was no way she would be in the mood to do that.

The two walked inside the large amusement park and watched the lights flash dazzlingly on the attractions. The music was ringing in their ears, and the atmosphere was very nice, but they couldn‘t arouse Veronica‘s interest at all.

They went all the way to the Ferris wheel, where the staff member opened the cabin door for them to go inside. When the cabin door was closed, the Ferris wheel was still spinning softly. Standing in front of the glass door, Veronica stared at the outside world, but she wasn‘t delighted at all. “I‘ve always looked forward to riding the Ferris wheel since I was little. Now that I‘m actually riding one, I find that… it‘s far less wonderful than when you look at it from a distance.”
