Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

“Sure.”

Daniella nodded.

“So, does this mean you said yes?”

With a cheeky smile on his face, Xavier stood up and took out the necklace from the brocade box. “Come here. I‘ll put it on for you.”

As he stood up in front of Veronica, she frowned and opened her mouth to say in a low voice, “Hey, don‘t cross the line—it‘ll be too much if we take this act a step further.”

Xavier raised his eyebrows at her. “We have to act properly so they‘ll believe us.”

He undid the pendant necklace, approached her, and put the necklace on her in the fashion of a hug. Even though it was just an act, Veronica still blushed because of how intimate the move was.

The nurses at the door cheered in excitement.

“Aw. How touching!”

“Oh, my God. If I wasn‘t a nurse, I might have the time to fall in love and be in a relationship myself.” |

“Kiss, kiss, kiss!”

“Yes, yes! Kiss!”

“Hahaha….”

More nurses joined in on the fun and even tried to make it a big deal. Not only that, they were even standing aside while filming videos and cheering.

Immediately, Veronica was speechless. She felt helpless at the nurses outside her room.

Easy peasy.

Xavier tilted his head to look at the female nurses at the door. His beautiful lips

curled into an upward are before he planted them on Veronica‘s check.

“Damn, public display of affection right in my face!”

“I‘m so jealous!”

“I could have a dozen boyfriends if they were all like this!”

“Come on. We should get back to work. Let‘s go, or the head nurse will chew us out again.”

The nurses grinned at Veronica and left.

Veronica, on the other hand, stood there with a slightly stiff body, staring at Xavier with angry eyes. That look seemed to be saying, Xavier Crawford, you jerk! Didn‘t you say that this was all just acting? You‘re just taking advantage of me!

Xavier merely smiled.

On the contrary, Daniella was in a very good mood, and she repeatedly told her, “Veronica, Xavier is so kind to you–you have to be nice to him too.”

“Okay, Mom. I know…”

Veronica nodded. Immediately after, she turned her head to look at Xavier and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Xavier Crawford, I‘ll kill you.”

Although the two of them were just acting, Daniella remained in a very good mood till noon that day, and she even finished the lunch that Veronica brought. After the lunch, she never mentioned wanting to discharge from the hospital again. Once she finished eating, Veronica and Xavier left the ward.

Daniella sent the two of them to the elevator. “Xavier, take care on your way back.”

“Sure thing, Mrs. Murphy,” Xavier put his arms around Veronica‘s shoulders and replied very politely.

“Don‘t buy me any more things when you come next time, okay?”

“Understood, Mrs. Murphy. You should go back and rest.”

Veronica was speechless. Was that it? My existence is nothing to them already? That quickly?Ding. The elevator doors closed.
