Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142

Not only did the trip back and forth waste Veronica‘s time, but she also ended up spending way more money than she should.

I swear to God, she silently complained, this is the worst day ever.

Upon reaching her destination, she angrily stomped into the club and headed to the elevator. Then, she swiped her special entry access card and was brought straight to the top floor of the condominium.

Her condominium unit was pitch black when she entered the space. Feeling irked, she couldn‘t be bothered to turn on the lights before taking off her shoe and familiarly coursing her way to her sofa to lie down.

However, the moment she laid her head against the throw pillow, she noticed how different the pillow under her head felt than it usually did.

Reaching out to adjust the pillow, Veronica felt an odd warmth which made her jump up at once. “Are you crazy, Matthew? Why didn‘t you turn on the lights if you were back? Are you trying to scare me to death?” she gasped..

As soon as she recalled how Matthew had treated her today, her anger immediately flared, and she abruptly stood up to walk away from him.

At that moment, all the lights in the unit were turned on.

Matthew turned to look at her only to catch the sight of her enraged face as she tramped into her room. His lips slightly quivered, but before he could even utter a word, Veronica slammed the door close with all her might.

Looking at how furious she was, Matthew‘s eyebrows furrowed as he started to worry if he had taken it too far earlier.

He then stood up and headed to the room Veronica had shut herself in. Before Veronica‘s bedroom, Matthew stood by the door and raised his hand to knock on it.

Knock, knock–Knock, knock, knock

His knuckles continued to rap on the door when he didn‘t get a response from her.

“Are you still mad?” he finally asked as he couldn‘t stand the silent treatment anymore.

Squeak! Suddenly, the door swung open and out came Veronica with a luggage bag by her side. She stood in front of him with a fierce glare as she snapped, “Please don‘t block the door. Screw off.”

His face immediately darkened upon hearing her stern words. “What did you just say?” he muttered.

“I said, screw–” Realizing that Matthew had an odd expression on his face, she backed off a little and huffed, “I said, go away. I‘m trying to pass.”

Despite her intimidation, Matthew unmovingly stood at the same spot. “Where are you heading to?” he questioned her. = 1

“What has that got to do with you?” Her face was cold when she lifted her head to glower at him.

Even though Matthew wasn‘t wrong in refusing to help her with voiding the bill, Veronica was still extremely infuriated by how he handled the issue.

The odd thing was–she didn‘t even know why she was fuming at the man.

“It is dangerous for a girl to be out this late,” he placated. –

Seeing how angry Veronica was, he couldn‘t help but wonder if his action earlier was a mistake—perhaps if he did not do as such, she wouldn‘t have gotten so angry.

“Who cares. That has got nothing to do with you,” she spat as she tried to walk past him.

Acknowledging what she was about to do, he swiftly stepped to the left to block her from walking forward.

The haughty man then looked down at the shorter woman and asked in return, “You eat my food and stay at my place. You grumbled about the breakfast you treated me being pricey when it only costs 3 dollars, yet you generously spent hundreds of thousands like it was nothing with Xavier. Do you even have the right to be mad at me right now?” .

Is this how women pick fights without reason? he quietly thought to himself.

“That‘s because I thought–“She started explaining in a raised voice, only to come to a halt before finishing her sentence. She couldn‘t possibly tell him that she had acted that way because she thought that her relationship with Matthew had gotten better after they started living together. Instead, she let out a scoff and sneered, “You are

right! I enjoy treating the both of you differently. Is there a problem?”

She then gave Matthew a hard shove and strode across when he stumbled backward.
