Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

kissing her on the lips. This time, the man’s kisses were much wilder and more aggressive. He bit her

lips all he wanted.

Veronica was too stunned to do anything—she simply allowed him to kiss her, which went on to a point

where she could barely breathe. The strong scent of the man shot up her nose, and she felt like she

had been dragged back in time to when she was still dating him. All the pleasant memories came back

to her, and even the air around her felt sweet at that moment.

Perhaps the love Veronica had for him made it easier for him to dominate her. She fell deep into an

ocean of passion and fondness. By the time she returned to her senses, she had found herself being

lifted by Matthew. Before she knew what was going on, she found herself riding him. Everything was

made easier because she was wearing a flowery dress—it made it easier for Matthew to ‘access’ her.

Matthew was already deep inside her before she could even process the situation. He was constantly

training his physique, so he had powerful limbs. Furthermore, Veronica was only 90 pounds, which felt

like nothing more than the weight of a kitten to Matthew. “Mmm…” Veronica tried to wriggle her way out

when she finally realized what was happening. Nonetheless, she realized that she was in a somewhat

awkward position. Is there something wrong with me? Matthew and I have already broken up for three

months, so why would I still let him bully me? It’s okay if he teases me since I have always been able to

protect myself. But now, I’m slowly allowing him to… to…

“Matt… Mmm…” She straightened her figure as she tried to say something, but her words were at the

tip of her tongue when she felt a strong force pushing into her. Her entire body felt weak for a moment,

and she felt like she was about to lose her mind at that moment. In the end, she simply rested her face

on his shoulder. She was too ashamed to meet anyone. Veronica. Veronica?! You’re such an idiot! This

is too embarrassing. Sh*t. I can’t bring myself to face anyone right now.

She tightened her grip around his shoulders as she felt her face turning hot. Nevertheless, she refused

to let Matthew notice how she was ‘falling’ for him. Wouldn’t he realize that I still like him? No. That

can’t happen. So, she pressed her lips together and forced herself to act cool before she leaned in to

whisper in his ear. “I didn’t know that you like to do it in places like these.”

Matthew paused for a moment when she finished her sentence before reacting like a madman. No one

could possibly understand the sensation that shot through his body when she was whispering into his

ear. Her breath felt soft and sweet against his skin, and she had managed to seduce him even without

trying to. This made him feel like he was about to lose his mind. “Is that so? I thought that… Roni… I

thought you enjoyed it too, Veronica.” They seemed to be having an invisible competition with one

another—neither wanted to express their attraction to the other party.

“Even though you take everyone that comes to you, I have to say… your… you… You’re relatively

good-looking in the whole of Bloomstead… and your stamina… isn’t something that others can easily

surpass. I like it… Of course, but… I just like… your energy,” Veronica conveyed hesitantly.

“Well… The same goes for you,” Matthew murmured after shamelessly embracing her compliment.

Their ‘showdown’ lasted for a long while, and they were in the cave, so their phones had no signal. The

people at the barbeque couldn’t contact them at all. Yet, everyone knew about Matthew and Veronica’s

relationship, so they could all guess what had happened. Everyone came to the silent agreement of not

asking any questions.

Meanwhile, both Veronica and Matthew felt like they hadn’t genuinely ended their relationship even

though they had broken up three months ago. They hadn’t contacted one another since the breakup,

probably because there was some built-up resentment on both ends that made them so furious at one

another. But after the rage was over, both parties were still unwilling to lose to the other. So, they ended

up spitting words that added oil to the fire between them.

After more than two hours, Matthew spread his coat across the ground, and Veronica lay on top of his

chest. She shut her eyes without saying anything, and before she knew it, she fell asleep in the cave.

For some reason, her sleep always felt better when she was with Matthew.

Matthew stared at the woman who was fast asleep, leaning close to plant a kiss on her forehead before

he got up and left. When Veronica woke up, she realized that no one was around her. The fulfilling

sensation within her dissipated instantly, and she was filled with nothing but disappointment. She rose

to her feet and went back up the hill, where she found Matthew chit-chatting with a few others.

Everyone shifted their gazes to Veronica when she first walked over. “Hurry up and come here,

Veronica. We’re going to finish all the food if you come any later,” Stephen cried.

“That’s not right of you, Demoness. Your friend might be important, but don’t we matter to you? How

could you abandon us just to play with your friend?” Larry asked.

“Yeah. You’re not a loyal friend at all!” Monica wailed.

“I hope you didn’t stay with your friend just because they made better food there,” Shirley commented.

“Yeah, that wasn’t nice, Roni. But, how could you go off with your friends without inviting us along?”

Skyler cried.

…

Veronica froze for a moment before she understood the situation. I bet Matthew came up with an

excuse before coming back up the hill. He probably told them that I went for a stroll and that I bumped

into friends who were also barbequing. Then, they probably think that I told him to pass the message

that I’m going to be late.

She quickly grasped the situation and smiled in response to the rest of them. “They are my high school

friends, and they insisted on chatting after I bumped into them. Unfortunately, my phone ran out of

battery, so I couldn’t tell you guys anything,” she explained. This was the perfect excuse.

On the other hand, Matthew had his back turned to face Veronica—all he focused on was the skewers

and beer in his hand. It was almost as if he didn’t know her at all.
