Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137

Seeing him walking in, Yvonne, being the shrewd woman she was, greeted him. “Young Master Matthew, you‘re back?”

“Yeah.‘ Matthew was as indifferent as ever. He said little as if ignoring her.

“Veronica, you can keep watching. I‘ll go to bed first.” She headed back to the bedroom to avoid disturbing Veronica and Matthew‘s time alone.

Matthew unbuttoned his suit with his long fingers and put his coat on the back of the sofa. He took a seat next to Veronica, asking in a deep voice, “Why did you agree to Grandma?”

Although Matthew didn‘t understand why Elizabeth asked Veronica to plan his and Tiffany‘s wedding, Veronica could have refused, but she unexpectedly agreed.

Veronica sat cross–legged with a bag of potato chips in her hand. As she put a piece into her mouth, she glanced at him lazily and muttered, “Since Grandma has asked, what reason do I have to refuse?”

She shrugged and sighed. “If it weren‘t for Grandma‘s liking for me, you wouldn‘t save me from the fire, nor would you go abroad to save me, and you wouldn‘t risk your life to save me in the mountains either. No matter what, I‘ll always remember Grandma‘s kindness. Anyway, she just asked me to plan a wedding. Even if I had to donate a kidney to her, I wouldn‘t refuse.”

Many said that debts between humans were the most difficult to pay off, and she owed Elizabeth a “saving grace,” so Veronica had no reason to refuse.

Hearing that, Matthew suddenly recalled his past memories as though a movie was playing in his mind. His sharp eyes gradually dimmed. Did she think that everything I did was because of ‘Grandma‘s orders‘? That I only risked my life to protect her because Grandma liked her?

“I‘ll look for you at your company during my break tomorrow to discuss the details of the wedding with you.” Veronica seemed to have moved on from everything. She was calm and indifferent.

Veronica admitted that she hated the Larson Family, but now that she couldn‘t avenge herself, she simply forced herself to let go of her hatred. She owed Elizabeth too much, and she wouldn‘t do anything at the wedding to embarrass Tiffany, for that would only make the Kings Family a laughingstock in Bloomstead. She had a

kind heart, and she knew that she had to repay Elizabeth‘s kindness, so naturally she wouldn‘t do such a despicable and shameless thing.

“I will leave the matter to Thomas.”

Matthew recalled that when he was engaged to Tiffany, Veronica suddenly appeared and found out about the truth and that her child would be handed over to Tiffany to raise after birth. In order to prevent that from happening, she took a lot of medicine regardless of the risks, causing herself to miscarry and almost bleed to death. One could only imagine how much that incident had impacted Veronica, and Matthew didn‘t want her to suffer again.

“Ha,” Veronica said softly, her cool eyes turning to Matthew. “Are you afraid that I‘ll do something to Tiffany at the wedding?” As she said that, she shook her head, her face full of irony and contempt. “I‘m never such a despicable person.” –

Saying that, she threw the bag of potato chips on the table and got up. After putting on her slippers, she headed straight for her bedroom.

Bang!

She slammed the bedroom door loudly, cutting off Matthew‘s gaze from her. He was silent for a moment before he got up and went to the study to start working.

Veronica tossed and turned on the bed and couldn‘t sleep, and with the addition of Yvonne, it was even more difficult to adapt.

It was past midnight, and Yvonne was already asleep. Veronica felt bored from playing on her phone, so she got up and went to the living room to watch television. She scrolled through various variety shows, but nothing piqued her interest.

Though it was past three o‘clock at night, Veronica was still lying on the sofa without a trace of sleepiness. In the end, she had no choice but to go to the study. However, she didn‘t expect that when she opened the door, Matthew was still sitting at the desk and processing documents.

up?”

Veronica curled her lips and muttered, “Why is he so easy to talk to today?” Could it be that he knows I‘m going back to my hometown, so he improved his attitude toward me? She didn‘t think too much about it and sat on the big chair. The leather chair was airtight, and she could almost feel the residual temperature Matthew had left.
