Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1162

Veronica was also considering Matthew's situation.

After the incident with the hidden clan, he was no longer a coward. However, since he publicly announce their fake divorce because of Flavian, it was enough to prove the seriousness of the situation, especially since Flavian had not contacted Matthew for 20 years. His appearance just seemed too intentional.

If she maintained being divorced from him, it could also help him avoid unnecessary worries.

"After you have investigated Flavian and resolved the matter between you two, we can consider restoring our marriage publicly," she said.

Matthew leaned to the side, propped his head on his hand on the bed, and uttered with concern, "Rumors and gossip about you are spreading online. They're hurting you."

He had publicly announced his divorce from Veronica, claiming that they had peacefully divorced, but he couldn't stop the keyboard warriors from speculating.

"We have gone through dangerous situations with the hidden clan, so why would we care about these rumors and gossip? Matt, I am not as fragile as you think," Veronica reassured him firmly, her eyes looking even more determined.

Only by maintaining a fake divorce status with Matthew could she make him feel at ease and fully focus on dealing with Flavian.

Seeing that Matthew still had concerns, she continued, "Okay, let's keep it a secret for now. When you have thoroughly investigated Flavian's conspiracy, we can remarry publicly, alright?"

"Okay," Matthew agreed this time.

At the thought of Eviette, she asked, "You have such a good relationship with Eviette. Are you sure she has no feelings for you?"

Matthew smiled in response. "No, there's someone else she likes."

"Are you sure?"

Veronica always felt that Eviette liked Matthew a lot.

"I'm sure," Matthew replied firmly, completely convinced that Eviette had no feelings for him.

Veronica asked about Eviette several times before this, but Matthew never had the intention of sharing their past with her. From there, she knew that things between them were not that simple.
