Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1101

Veronica leaned against the booth as her eyes gazed at Xavier with mixed feelings stirred in them. "But you should know that Antheena doesn't want us to keep in touch, and you know what she has done to me. If you really consider me a friend, you should distance yourself from me."

It was blatant yet hurtful, but she genuinely wished the best for Xavier and Antheena. After all, Antheena loved him to the bones. They were truly a family.

He interlaced his fingers on the table while casting his gaze onto the floor to conceal the smearing bitterness. "I have something to do in Bloomstead today, so I'm here to see you. I will return to Castron in a few days. I don't know when we will meet again."

He forced a smile, keeping the truth away from her. The reason he returned from Castron was because he saw the news and knew that Matthew and Veronica had divorced.

"Great." She nodded. "Since you're back, as the host, I should treat you for lunch."

"No need for the rush." Xavier glanced at his watch and added, "Just let me know if you need anything."

She placed her right hand on her ringed finger, staring and the twinkling wedding ring. "The divorce is a fake." She still decided to tell Xavier the truth after contemplation.

Xavier cluck his tongue and smiled helplessly. "You could've spared me the explanation."

Even if she saved the explanation, Xavier knew the truth.

He was well aware of everything that had happened in the past two years, including Matthew's genuine feelings for her.

The couple jumped through hoops and finally secured happiness. Divorcing shortly after returning to the country? It was clear that something was amiss.
