Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

“No.” Veronica directly refused.

Xavier had helped her a lot recently, so she didn’t want to owe him anything more.

“Why? Is it because you look down on my abilities?”

As Xavier spoke, he opened the car door and was about to put her luggage inside, but Veronica grabbed him.

“What’s the matter?”

Confused by her actions, Xavier gave her a puzzled look.

Veronica took the luggage from his hand, then said with a solemn expression, “Xavier, you and I are just ordinary friends. I’m very grateful and appreciative of the care you’ve given me recently. After my dad wakes up, our family will leave Bloomstead. I already owe you so much that I would never be able to repay it. So, I really don’t want to trouble you anymore.”

Even if her adoptive parents recovered and were discharged from the hospital, Veronica wasn’t going to leave Bloomstead so soon.

It was just that she didn’t want to owe Xavier more and more.

In terms of wealth or power, she was insignificant, so how could she offer any help to Xavier?

In the end, Xavier would be the one constantly giving favors.

As friends, it was about helping each other, not about one party constantly giving a helping hand.

Such friendships were destined to not last long.

Hence, she was trying to stop Xavier before he suffered any losses.

For a moment, Xavier was taken aback, and he didn’t understand what her sudden remarks meant.

When he saw Veronica leaving with her luggage, he chased after her and grabbed her hand. “Do you hate me just like those people do?”

Xavier was well-known for being a playboy and a disappointment in Bloomstead; he was the object’ that the upper class ridiculed and disdained.

But, Xavier never cared about their ridicule and contempt, and still did as he pleased.

When he first met Veronica, he felt that although this girl was mediocre-looking, she wasn’t two-faced. On the contrary, he felt comfortable spending time with her.

Gradually, Xavier became more and more convinced that Veronica was very similar to him, so he regarded her as a friend.

That was why what Veronica said just now made his thoughts run wild.

Hearing this, Veronica was momentarily stunned, and she looked back at Xavier in disbelief.

“I… didn’t mean that.”

Just now, for just a moment, she seemed to feel Xavier’s humble aura.

He... doesn‘t seem like the arrogant and domineering son of the Crawford Family.

“If that’s not the case, then why are you telling me this?”

Xavier clutched Veronica’s wrist and said in a deep voice, “I asked you to work in my company because I find you interesting. I want you to accompany me so that my days would not be so boring.”

“Really?”

Veronica was dubious.

“Isn’t that already clear?” Xavier shook off her hand and rolled his eyes at her.

“But, I’m not up to the task. As you know, I worked as a security guard at the nightclub because I wanted to have time to take care of my parents during the day. Otherwise, I would’ve looked for a serious job. If I work at your company, I won’t have any time to take care of them.”

Veronica had gone to work at Twilight Club as a last resort. Otherwise, she had even more ambitions and aspirations.

“I make the decisions in my company, so you can completely dispel these thoughts.”

Xavier wrapped his arms around her neck, brought her to the passenger seat, then placed her luggage in the backscat before saying, “I’m bored every day, so you just need to spend time with me. That’s your job.”

He didn’t give Veronica a chance to speak it all and slammed the car door shut.

Going around to the driver’s seat, Xavier started the car and slowly left the hospital.

Daniella explained the situation to Tony, and only then did he know what was going on.
