Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

Melissa was excited beyond belief by what she had heard and had no words to describe her feelings.

“Oh, wow. Matthew, look at the shooting star. Quickly wish for something. I‘ve heard that wishes made under a shooting star often come true.”

When she saw the shooting star across the picturesque night sky, she jumped with glee as she placed her hands together. As she tilted her head upward, she started to wish with closed eyes. Shooting star, please make it so that I‘ll be Matthew‘s wife in the future!

Standing by her side, Matthew suddenly thought that Melissa resembled Veronica‘s brash yet innocent and naive personality. The woman wasn‘t as annoying as he thought he would be.

“Why hasn‘t she come out yet?”

After standing there for a while, Matthew began to question Veronica‘s whereabouts as he looked around.

“What? Oh, about that… Please wait here, I‘ll go and call her.”

Being able to spend a bit of time with Matthew had already left Melissa feeling like she was lucky. Besides being elated, she was extremely nervous to the point where she did not know what else to say.

So, she turned around and fled the scene.

As she jogged to her room, she opened the door to the sight of Veronica counting the money with a serious expression.

“Oh my God, Veronica, you‘re the best.”

When Melissa hugged Veronica, she had pushed the person onto the bed and happily gave her a peck. “Veronica, you‘re so smart. I‘m elated right now. Here…”

She happily took out another wad of cash and pushed it into Veronica‘s hands. “This is for you. Just treat it as the bonus for our first successful cooperation.”

“Yikes, this is kind of disgusting. There‘s saliva… Hahaha, really?”

After pushing Melissa aside, the disgusted Veronica wiped the saliva on her cheek with her sleeves as she saw the wad of cash being thrusted into her hands.

Stopping for a moment, she then grinned from ear to ear. “Melissa, you‘re a good friend. Just like your brother, you both are so likable.”

No wonder they were siblings since they were both so likable.

This was especially so when it came to Melissa‘s willingness to simply give out money, which made Veronica extremely ecstatic.

“Of course, if my bro likes you, I‘ll naturally like you too. Now that you also like me, we‘ll be good friends from now on!”

Melissa was still immersed in the blissful situation as she happily sat on the bed.

After a while, she finally remembered Matthew‘s words and said to Veronica, “You should quickly head out. Matthew‘s waiting for you. He’ll know something‘s up if we wait any longer.”

“Oh, right.”

When she realized that fact, Veronica immediately kept the forty thousand in her bag.

Before leaving, she did not forget to remind Melissa, “Only me, you and God knows where the money is. So, if it‘s gone by the time I‘m back, I‘ll have you reimburse me.”

If these words were said by another person, Melissa would have been absolutely livid.

However, because she was in a good mood, she simply replied, “Don‘t worry, I‘ll look after it for you. If it really goes missing, I‘ll pay you again.”

“Tsk, this is why I like you.”

Winking at her, Veronica then ran outside to the courtyard.

Although everything was pitch black in the courtyard, Veronica still managed to recognize Matthew standing under a tree at once.

If she did not know beforehand that it was a person, it would have been a bit scary considering the fact that they were on a mountain at the dead of the night.

Hopping over, she asked, “Why are you still here?”

“I was waiting for you.”

Hearing Veronica‘s voice made Matthew turn his head around to answer her.

Reflecting on her reminder to Melissa not to let anything slip, she also needed to do the same; otherwise, she would be burning her own bridge.

“Didn‘t you say that you have something to talk about just now?”

Putting his hands in the pocket of his pants, Matthew stared at her through the darkness.

Veronica rubbed her head as she thought of the best method to answer his question. “I just wanted to…”

Looking at the moon, pfft.

Looking at his back, Veronica felt a bit perplexed as she thought, What is happening? He‘s acting a bit weird today. Why is he so obedient all of a sudden?
