Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1172

"Well, we're all here now… Hahaha!"

Liam fixed his intense, enthralled gaze on Veronica.

And that look made Matthew feel particularly uneasy.

Veronica shrugged off Tiffany and simply grinned at Liam before approaching Xavier. "Long time no see. I couldn't attend your wedding with Antheena last time. Is it too late to congratulate the newlyweds now?"

As she spoke to Xavier, she caught sight of Antheena approaching from behind, and her red lips curled into a faint smile.

Antheena didn't reject the sincere gaze and blessings from Veronica, nor did she think Veronica was being overly hypocritical.

Because Antheena knew very well that Veronica only had feelings for Matthew, and even if Xavier couldn't let go of Veronica, it was just his unrequited love.

Even so, it was very hard to get rid of the jealousy that had grown deeply ingrained in her heart.

Antheena walked to Xavier's side, linking her arm with his and looking affectionate. "Thank you."

They both avoided bringing up the assassination at Primrose Residence.

"Why are we all standing? Let's sit. We all know each other, so there's no need to be too polite," Liam said, attempting to hold Veronica's wrist and lead her to her seat.

However, no matter how fast he was, could he beat Matthew?

Matthew stepped forward and pulled Veronica aside in one swift motion. Liam, who was looking straight ahead, didn't notice Veronica had been pushed away, so he reached out and took hold of Matthew's hand.

Liam expected that by taking the initiative to hold who he thought was Veronica, she would definitely struggle and resist, but she didn't.

He was a little giddy inside, and he even used his fingertips to lightly touch "her" skin. He imagined her to have soft, delicate skin and wasn't ready for it to feel rough or even like a man's.

While Liam was perplexed, he noticed that the people in front of him were each giving him a different look while smiling slyly.
