Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

She couldn’t believe that this cold-blooded man she was looking at was the same Matthew who used to

care so much about her.

He had changed too much within such a short period of time.

She didn’t understand what was going on. She even felt like something was amiss at some point but no

matter how much she pondered over it, she didn’t know what the problem was.

She did notice how their relationship had deteriorated ever since Sasha’s appearance, though.

Perhaps, Sasha was Matthew’s true love.

“Matthew Kings, you…” Veronica pointed a finger at him. “You are such a jerk!”

As rage swallowed her whole like a forest fire and clouded her judgment, she raised her hand in a fit of

anger and swung at his cheek, giving him a hard slap on the face.

A crisp, loud sound reverberated throughout the place.

Conrad, who was walking in their direction, just happened to see what was happening beside the

gazebo. When he realized that, he ducked behind a plant beside him to hide himself.

The impact of the slap made Matthew turn his head to the side. Even the hair on his forehead had

become messy and it fell into his face.

He slowly closed his eyes. Standing up, he brought the cigarette to his mouth again and took a deep

breath before he opened his pair of sharp eyes.

He then grabbed her by the wrist and warned, “I owe you this one slap, Veronica Murphy, but if you

dare overstep your boundaries again, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”

She started to struggle out of his painfully tight hold on her, but he didn’t have the slightest intention to

let go. When she finally couldn’t take it anymore, she brought a leg up and kicked him.

She put all her strength into that kick she aimed directly at him, causing him to stumble backward

before he found his footing again.

“From now on, you and I don’t owe each other a thing. You will go your way, and I will go mine.

Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me anymore!”

After she roared that statement with her finger pointing at him, she trampled out of the gazebo, feeling

furious.

She probably wanted to vent her anger at him because of the grudge she held on him.

Veronica had thought that her mood would turn better after ranting, but the truth was completely

different from her expectations.

Not only did she not feel better, she felt much worse after that.

As Veronica left the gazebo angrily, Conrad quickly backed away when he saw her approaching.

He had seen it with his own eyes how the couple not only broke up, but also had a fallout with one

another.

Does this mean that I can pull Veronica over to my side now? he contemplated.

On the other hand, Veronica had started to play games on her phone after she went to a room to rest.

Not long after, a servant came over and informed her that Elizabeth was awake, leaving Veronica no

choice but to stop her gaming and go to Elizabeth instead. She helped Elizabeth out of the house, and

together with Matthew, the trio got into the car and headed to the hospital.

After they came to a private hospital, someone specially came to welcome Elizabeth and bring her for a

series of comprehensive medical examinations.

While she was undergoing the physical examinations, Matthew and Veronica quietly sat in the lounge

again as they waited.

As Veronica didn’t even want to look at Matthew, she quickly logged into her game again to play with

four other players.

However, she received a call from Larry just before she pressed into the game.

“Crazy?” she called out after accepting the call.

“Demoness!” He then urgently asked, “Have you found your Grandma?”

It was only then that Veronica remembered how Larry had told her when she was leaving to message

him if she had found Elizabeth.

She had somehow completely forgotten about his request.

“We found her. She’s alright. I forgot to let you know.” Veronica let out an embarrassed chuckle.

Matthew was eavesdropping on the call at the side when his ears perked up at her reply.

Who the hell is Crazy?

They seem pretty close.

“I owe you one.”

“Sure, sure. When are you free? Let me suck you dry.”

“Should we go for a movie, then? I have time these days. I promise I will be there if you are buying.”

“Sure thing. See you!”

Matthew’s mood had suddenly dampened when he noticed how cheerful Veronica was as she happily

chatted with another person on the phone while she sat on a couch for one.

That guy is even asking her on a movie date!

“How unexpected for you to have found your next man so quickly.” He inquisitively brought up the

subject.

Veronica was looking at her phone when she heard his odd remark. With her eyebrows raised, she

asked in return, “Is there a problem? You have your Sasha, and I have my toy boy. Besides, we can act

like siblings with a good relationship when Grandma is here, but now that she is not, you can totally

keep your mouth shut and not utter a word.”

The last thing she wanted to do now was bother herself with Matthew.

“Is that so?” He nodded. “Having a toy boy really has made you much more confident now, but does he

know that we broke up just recently?”

“Is there something wrong with your head? Am I not allowed to find another man after we break up? A

toy boy, you say? It has got nothing to do with you even if I were to be with different toy boys everyday,

alright?!”
