Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1053

Sofia was shrouded in awkwardness as she stood on the same spot, looking around the room helplessly, only to find everyone either lowering their heads as they checked their cell phones or turning to look the other way. Nobody wanted to bother wasting their time on her.

Being treated like an outcast felt like a tight slap across her face, and her cheeks burned painfully from the shame. As the little princess of the Green Family, she had never suffered such humiliation before.

Still, she bore with it for a few minutes, lifted her head to the direction of the second floor, and forced out a smile. "I'll wait for Skye to come down later, then. Matthew, may I stay for dinner?" For the sake of Skyler, she was willing to lower herself and set aside her haughty dignity.

"Sure," Matthew agreed with a nod and returned to coax Ada, who was in his arms.

"Mom…"

Suddenly, baby Ada uttered the word 'Mom'. Even though it was probably just a coincidence from her babblings, it still put a bright smile on Matthew's face. "You can say 'Mommy' now, my love?"

Next to him, Veronica giggled. "She's only six months old. How can she say 'Mommy' yet? No way!"

"But I heard it."

The man who used to be aloof and indifferent was now a caring father. A heartwarming emotion washed over Veronica, and she felt a sense of blissfulness after a moment of peace. This was exactly the life that she wanted.

Ring, ring.

Suddenly, Matthew's phone started ringing. He held Ada with one arm while using the other hand to pick up his phone. However, it was a call from an unknown number, so he hesitated momentarily before telling Veronica, "Roni, I'm going to pick up a call."

"Okay," she answered and bent over to pick up Ada from him. "Come here, baby. Let me hold you," she said in a soft, motherly tone as she carried her baby.
