Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1177

Liam's interest in Veronica was purely based on her beauty so there was nothing to be afraid of, but the other three had completely different intentions towards her, which inadvertently put immense pressure on Matthew.

Therefore, he wished to reveal his identity as soon as possible.

Veronica understood Matthew's meaning even though he left his sentence unfinished, and she felt helpless because there was nothing she could do.

Next to Eleanor was Anthony, who vividly described the prosperity of Castron to Eleanor, which she found very interesting.

"I'm going to the restroom," Veronica said to Liam, who was staring at her and got up to leave.

She said she was going to the restroom, but she actually just wanted to get some fresh air on the hillside.

The night grew incredibly lovely and peaceful as she stood by herself on the hillside, feeling the brisk evening breeze and admiring the dancing fireflies and sparkling stars.

"Are you thinking about him?" A voice suddenly emerged from behind.

Veronica turned around and saw Xavier.

She shook her head and denied it.

And of course, when Xavier referred to "him," he meant the "deceased" Matthew. Veronica stood on the hillside, gazing into the distance at the bustling city lights, and she felt a pang of unease in her heart.

"You shouldn't have brought Antheena here."

There were issues both inside and outside the hidden clan, and danger could strike at any time.

Standing next to her, Xavier stared off into the distance with his hands in the pockets of his light grey jeans. He sighed and added, "If I don't come, who will protect you when he's not here?"

The words Xavier spoke warmed her from the inside out, despite the chilly evening breeze.

Veronica felt a twinge of guilt towards Xavier.

He hated Matthew to the bone. Would Xavier hate her if he knew Matthew was still alive?

"Xavier, would you hate me if I lied to you one day?"

Unable to hold it in any longer, she asked him what was on her mind.

"No, I wouldn't," Xavier answered firmly without hesitation.

"Why don't you ask me what I would lie to you about?"
