Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 479

Chapter 479 Conrad’s Scheme

After their merriment, Yvonne fell asleep while Conrad leaned against the bed’s headboard, looking out the window with deep thoughts in his mind.

Even though his plan was a success, he felt no satisfaction or exhilaration from it. In contrast, he felt even more troubled.

Time passed by, and the tired Yvonne woke up. When she saw that the man was smoking beside her, she reached out and held him by the waist. “Conrad, you’re not well. Why are you still smoking?”

“It’s fine.” Despite what he said, he had already put out the cigarette between his fingers in an ashtray. “Don’t be so worried about me.”

“How can I not worry about you…?”

As she leaned on him, she took in his unique smell, then immersed herself in bitter sadness.

She had even forgotten that it had only been two weeks since she had given birth and was still in her maternity period.

“You should be worried about yourself and the baby. It will be best if both of you are healthy and safe.”

There wasn’t any sweet talk, but just because Conrad said these in his ‘current condition’, it moved Yvonne so much that she felt a sting in her nose again.

Tears stung her eyes, and she pursed her cherry lips. “The baby… Have you met him yet?”

Since he knew which hospital the baby was born in and also had a copy of his proof of birth, could it be that he had also met the baby before? she wondered.

“Yeah, I did,” he admitted. “The baby is very adorable, and his eyes look just like yours.”

The best lies are the ones that were built upon the truth. If it weren’t because he didn’t have cancer, even he would be caught up in the lie and feel touched.

For Yvonne, just the thought that Conrad purposely stayed away from her because he had cancer and even planned their breakup filled her with guilt.

“Conrad, I’m sorry…”

Previously, she had made all the preparations to guard herself against him, but who knew that he didn’t have any thoughts of harming the baby, not to mention taking the baby away from her side?

“Huh? Why are you apologizing out of the blue?” A gleam flashed past his eyes, feigning ignorance even though he knew what she meant.

“I-I…” She raised her head, looked into his eyes, and whispered softly, “Before this… I kept having the wrong idea about you. That’s why I don’t want you to meet the baby. I-If I knew that this is what the situation is, I wouldn’t have allowed Matthew to hide the baby.”

All the prep work from before was so that he could find out the baby’s whereabouts from Yvonne. Nevertheless, he didn’t expect that everything would progress so smoothly.

Three days, he thought. No, if I calculated everything into hours, it was only fifty hours.

Luckily Veronica wasn’t in the country, or Yvonne wouldn’t have taken the bait so easily.

Hence, from morning until afternoon until late night, they both made love with breaks in between. Their passion was overflowing, as though they were madly trying to make up for the six months they had lost.

On this day, she realized that being with him brought her exhilarating comfort and satisfaction.

At last, she lay there completely drained, shaking her head. “Conrad, that’s enough… enough…” Then, she sat up and dragged the man behind her to face him. “Please watch out for your health, okay? You’re in a special period now.”

“Silly Yvie.” The corner of his lips curled into a smirk as he held her waist and pulled her into his embrace. “If my body will perish, girls, I will cherish. My motto in life is, life is short, so we should always live in the present.”

A phrase that was filled with positive energy took on a different twist when Conrad said it.

She drew circles on his chest with her slender fingers, feeling the warmth from his skin and lusting for the madness from earlier.

“We can’t do that. Your health is more important.”

She was apprehensive about his health, and although he seemed fine now, the outbreaks of some diseases were concentrated in later stages, making it impossible for people to notice. Nonetheless, now that she knew he was sick, it would be better if she paid attention to everything.

“Once. Just once, okay?” He leaned towards her and whispered into her ear, “Do you have any idea how I made it past these six months?”

One phrase was all it took to turn her on; her ears felt hot, and she glanced at him with blushed cheeks, saying, “T-Then… just this time, okay? After this, both of us have to… control ourselves, alright?”

While he gazed at the dumb girl before him, who appeared as innocent as a rabbit, a smile spread across Conrad’s face, but his mind was filled with scenes when he was humiliated by Zac.

“Okay, I promise you. I’ll get you a glass of water.”

Then, he got up, paced to the table, and took out a glass from the cabinet. He also took out something else before pouring her a glass of water and dropping it in.

That thing melted in water immediately and went unnoticed.

“You must be tired, aren’t you? Have a drink of water.” Finally, he turned around and passed the water to Yvonne.

When she saw how attentive he still was toward her, she was very touched. “You’re so nice, Conrad.”
