Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Falling Into a Secret Basement

“I’ve already said…”

“Stop this!”

Matthew, who was suppressing his anger, tried to explain, but Veronica was having none of it. “Don’t try to bulls*it about me having insomnia or depression. Do you think that just because you studied a few more years than I did, I’m some sort of fool?”

Exasperated, she continued, “Let me tell you something. If not for the fact that Grandma treats me so kindly, I would’ve called the police to let them arrest you a long time ago, you r*pist. Given all your previous offenses, being executed by shooting would be too nice of an ending for you!”

This disgusting scum.

Matthew was speechless at her words.

With a face as sour as lemons, if not for the fact that he loved her, he would not have let her live to see another day.

“What will it take for you to believe me?”

Exhaling, Matthew restrained himself as best he could.

Yet, Veronica only pushed him aside and waved him around. “Liar, liar, pants on fire.” After saying that, she left.

Matthew, who adjusted his suit with one hand on his hip and the other pinching his eyebrows, watched her back as he then started to pace around in the living room.

Under these current circumstances, he knew Veronica would not believe him no matter what he said.

Alone, Veronica was walking through the manor leisurely while admiring the gorgeous view of the garden.

Passing through the garden, she crossed a cobblestone pathway before reaching a small bamboo forest.

The spring wind was blowing on the bamboo as the fallen leaves had accumulated into a thick pile.

Veronica, who was still standing on the pathway, suddenly had an idea come to mind, which was to take a selfie in this picturesque forest.

Taking her phone, she was thinking about where the best placement for it was until the pesky Matthew came along.

“What are you gawking at? Come and help me take some photos!”

Veronica ordered Matthew impatiently.

Matthew was used to being treated like a king and not having to do anything himself. Yet, not only did he rage at her, he even felt as if there was something different than usual.

He thought that the woman in front of him was rather unique.

Sadly, he had failed to notice that he only enjoyed these interactions due to his overwhelming love for her.

Approaching her, Matthew took her phone.

Veronica lifted her skirt slightly while stepping into the forest in her heels, only to find them sinking into the soft ground.

“Being a woman is such a pain.” Mumbling, she then looked down at her heels before suddenly kicking up and flinging one away, making it land right beside Matthew.

How… uncouth. Her lack of image had imprinted itself in Matthew’s eyes as he frowned and smiled subtly. “Aren’t you afraid of being pricked since you’ll be barefooted?”

“This is nothing. I was always barefooted at home when I was small.”

Stating that, she kicked her right leg, making her black high heels fly in an arc that, incidentally, looked as if it might strike the man’s face.

“Hey, watch out!”

Veronica shouted upon seeing that the high heel might hit Matthew. To her surprise, Matthew had easily caught it no sooner after she said that.

Snorting at this, Veronica mumbled, “He has fast reflexes. Why is he so capable of everything? I can’t beat him even if I wanted to. This is so… frustrating!”

If given the proper skillset, she would have crushed Matthew to vent her anger.

Finally, Veronica stood in the forest while Matthew was taking her photos.
