Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1116

His "death" broke her heart and sent her spiraling into despair, where she drowned her sorrows in alcohol.

Eviette often doubted it was real and found it difficult to believe Matthew had passed away so soon.

She frequently tricked herself in an effort to escape the weight of his passing.

But, one day, she was shocked to find out that he was still alive!

She dashed over from Mythpoint as soon as she found out, but she didn't get any closer than a glance.

"I'm sorry. As you know, I only follow political and financial news. I don't keep up with the entertainment industry."

Sincerely apologizing, Matthew said, "If I knew it was you, I would have contacted you sooner."

He then looked her up and down, shook his head, and sighed, "But even if I saw you on TV, I don't think I would recognize you. You were a tomboy back then. But now, I didn't expect you to…"

Matthew shrugged, furrowing his brows as if trying to find the right words to describe her.

"To be so beautiful?"

Eviette couldn't help but chuckle in response.

"Look at you, you can't even compliment a girl. You really haven't changed at all."

Ring!

Just then, Matthew's phone rang with a WhatsApp notification.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it.

It was a message from Veronica that said, "Monica and Ivana invited me to dinner. I won't be going back tonight."

Because they had publicly announced their divorce, they had to keep it a secret from everyone except for close friends.

Veronica obviously wouldn't tell Monica and Ivana, especially since Ivana had a big mouth and could make anything she knew public within three days.

Matthew quickly replied, "Alright. I'll be home late as well."

After he sent the message, Veronica immediately replied with an "OK" GIF and didn't ask any further.

She thought he would be working late.
