Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

She even pointed at his lips with her pinky finger where the lipstick stain was.

He waited until Veronica left and closed the door behind her before looking into the mirror. She left a

faint lipstick stain on his lips.

Matthew shook his head and smirked, using the tissue she gave to wipe it off.

He watched her retreating figure enter her car before he went ahead and drove off.

Nevertheless, he still stopped at the neighborhood’s entrance and waited for Veronica to drive out.

Not long after, her car appeared. When she saw his car parked on the side of the road, she suddenly

felt moved by how sweet and gentle he was toward her.

She drove by his car and lowered the car window of the passenger seat. She tilted her head at him and

waved, saying, “I’m off, see you tonight.”

“Drive safely,” Matthew reminded her.

She gazed at the man wearing a bespoke black dress shirt and a tie around his neck. His raven hair

was complemented by his chiseled jaw, long nose, and angular lips; he looked like a piece of

beautifully sculpted artwork. Although half of his face was concealed by his sunglasses, all of this was

already enough to bring out his alluring charm.

The pair of black sunglasses he wore added a sense of aloofness. His every movement was elegant

and exuded a strong aura wherever he went.

F*ck how can a man be this charming?

He had deeply enthralled her.

The car behind her honked, pulling Veronica away from her reverie. She waved and said sweetly, “Bye-

bye!”

Finally, she started the car engine and drove off, disappearing into the traffic.

Matthew sat in his car as he watched her leave. Gradually, the doting smile on his face faded and was

replaced by a sullen look; he seemed like he had a lot on his mind.

With a cigarette in hand, he leaned back on the car seat as he smoked.

His lips slightly parted, letting out puffs of smoke every now and then as they swept away some of his

troubles.

All of this was just the beginning, and he couldn’t even begin to imagine the challenges to come in the

future or how her fate would turn out.

…

Meanwhile, at Yvonne’s house, Veronica had parked her car outside the villa at the side of the road.

With that done, she got out of her car and strolled towards Yvonne’s house.

She knew the passcode to Yvonne’s estate, so she walked in after entering the passcode. The maid

then greeted her.

The maid quickly greeted her upon seeing her. “Why, hello, Miss Murphy! I’ll inform Miss Spencer

you’ve arrived.”

“There’s no need to. I want to surprise her.” Veronica waved her arm as she said.

She had asked Ivana to ensure Yvonne was at home before coming to her place.

The maid glanced behind the living room and smiled, “Miss Spencer’s boyfriend is also here. Now that

you’re here too, the more, the merrier.”

Boyfriend?

As she had expected, Conrad was here too.

“Mhm, I’m here to join the fun. Mrs. Sarah, you can return to what you were doing.”

“Alright then.” The maid went right back to her chores.

Veronica took one glance at the living room and walked toward it.

Luckily, she had sneakers on today, so she could pad without making a sound.

She walked from the yard towards the living room. As soon as she stepped through the living room

door, she witnessed an interesting sight. Yvonne was sitting on Conrad’s lap with her arms around his

neck, kissing him.

Her joyous laughter rang like bells; she was as happy as a child receiving presents on Christmas

morning.

At that moment, Veronica’s heart clenched with anger and pity for the girl.

“Ahem…”

Conrad and Yvonne still haven’t noticed Veronica’s presence. Well, they did, but they thought it was the

maid who had entered to do some chores, so they didn’t pay much attention to it.

Veronica lightly coughed, finally capturing the two’s attention as they both looked over at her.

The instant Yvonne noticed Veronica was standing by the door, she immediately slid off Conrad’s lap

and stood aside. Her face was flushed with a mix of dread and embarrassment as she stuttered, “R-

Roni, you’re here! When did you come back?”

Yvonne was panic-stricken; she never thought that Veronica would suddenly return from Castron.

On the other hand, Veronica balled her hands into tight fists. She even had to take a few deep breaths

to calm the fury that was raging within her.

“What a pleasant surprise!”

She struggled to maintain her composure, restraining herself from beating up Conrad on the spot.

Conrad was also as bothered as Veronica. But he had an excellent poker face, so they didn’t easily

catch his discomfort.

Veronica marched toward the two and threw a cold glower at Conrad. She didn’t even try to hide the

chilly hostility in her eyes.

Her expression made Yvonne’s heart leap to her throat. She quickly positioned herself before Conrad

and shielded him from Veronica. She nervously laughed as she said to Veronica, “Wait, Roni, please let

me explain—”

“Okay, speak. I’m all ears.”

Veronica turned her gaze towards Yvonne and glared at her before plopping onto the couch, crossing

her legs as if she were the mistress of the house. She leaned on the couch, waiting for Yvonne’s

excuses.

She wanted to see how Yvonne was going to defend herself.

“Yves, are you sure Little Roni will believe you even if you explained everything?”

Conrad instantly turned the tables with his question.

Veronica was vexed by his sudden intervention and stared daggers at him. She was once again

tempted to fight Conrad right then and there.

She was never a quick-tempered person, but right now, all she wanted was to beat the living sh*t out of

this jerk.
