Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

However, right now, Veronica had to stay in Bloomstead, so she could only use Elizabeth’s identity to let them feel at ease.

Otherwise, she didn’t even want to divulge too much.

Just then, she handed over her phone to Matthew. “Thank you.”

At that point, she lost her jovial expression and there was a hint of somberness in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Matthew suddenly felt quite pained to see her dejected look. She seemed so helpless as she leaned against the passenger seat with her head turned to the other direction looking outside.

“You may be Tiffany’s fiancé, but I’m not afraid that you will tell them what I said.”

Indeed, Veronica was unafraid.

Furthermore, she would have said the same words even if she was in front of Floch Larson and his wife.

She lamented as she looked at the scenery that flashed past outside the window.

“I didn’t hear a thing.”

Just then, Matthew imitated her and he leaned against his seat to take a rest with his eyes shut. He pretended to be unaware of everything.

Meanwhile, Veronica didn’t expect him to have such a reaction, so she couldn’t help turning her head to look at him. “You’re her fiancé, so I would find it understandable for you to reveal my words.”

“Is this why you agreed to be Grandma’s god-granddaughter?”

He gradually opened his eyes and there was a deep, intense look in his gaze.

Just then, Veronica nodded. “Yes.”

She was a person who accepted responsibility for her actions, so she admitted it instantly. “Feel free to tell your grandmother what I said too. I don’t mind.”

Originally, she should have avoided Matthew for certain matters, but she was fully aware that he must have investigated the kidnapping incident previously. Otherwise, there was no way that he would have known she was on that cruise ship.

Since he was aware, then there was really no point in her trying hard to hide the truth from him.

“Your issue with the Larsons does not contradict the fact that Grandma wants to adopt you as her god-granddaughter.”

Just then, Veronica remained silent. She merely regarded the current situation as Matthew’s good intentions to show his filial piety toward Elizabeth. Perhaps he was afraid that if the truth was revealed, Elizabeth would be quite sad about it, which was why he refused to tell her the truth.

At that moment, Veronica kept her eyes on Matthew and asked him outright, “What about you, then? You’re Tiffany’s fiancé, after all.”

Meanwhile, he gradually opened his narrow eyes and shot a look at her. Subsequently, he moved his thin lips. “As long as you don’t go overboard, I can choose to turn a blind eye.”

His sentence was quite straightforward. Basically, he wanted to tell her that as long as she didn’t make a huge fuss about it and affect the Kingses’ reputation, he could turn a blind eye to everything.

Though Veronica couldn’t quite comprehend Matthew’s train of thought, she knew that he meant what he said.

Perhaps it was because Elizabeth was exceptionally fond of Veronica, so he had no choice but to tolerate the latter.

In the future, if Elizabeth passed away, perhaps he would regard her as an enemy, just like how the Larson Family regarded her.

Nonetheless, that was something that hadn’t yet happened so right now, the only thing that Veronica could do was to maintain a great relationship with Elizabeth to ensure that Matthew wouldn’t be able to hurt her.

However, it was beyond Veronica’s expectations that Matthew would actually be so infatuated with Tiffany. It was to the extent that he would actually choose to ignore everything despite being aware of the Larsons’ despicable acts, all because of his deep love for her.

Love was indeed powerful enough to make one stop at nothing.

Suddenly, Veronica felt that her path to seeking revenge was increasingly full of difficulties and obstacles. Especially right now that Matthew was added onto the list.

The car moved at a steady pace and Veronica suddenly saw a mall up in front, so she asked, “Could you lend me some money? I want to buy something for your grandmother.”

Meanwhile, Matthew remained silent but he took out a card from his wallet and handed it to her. “There’s no password on it. You can use this.”

“Okay.”

Just then, Veronica didn’t think too much and she requested for Thomas to stop the car right away. Subsequently, she got out of the car and went into the mall.

Meanwhile, Thomas, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, glanced at Matthew from the rearview mirror. “Young Master Matthew, Miss Murphy and the Larsons,”

“You’d better keep this to yourself.” Before Thomas could finish his sentence, Matthew issued a warning instantly.

“Oh–is that so?”

Just then, Veronica felt slightly surprised. This is unexpected! I can‘t believe that being his sister has such a great benefit!

As soon as her words hit, Matthew turned his handsome, flawless face toward her slightly as he murmured, “Who would you like me to side with?”

“L... Ha...”
