Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 153

Skyler, a love expert, shared his views.

Matthew glanced at him doubtfully, feeling what he said was meaningless. He then turned to look at Caleb, the boring guy, as if he believed Caleb more.

Unexpectedly, Caleb nodded seriously, and said, "Basically... correct."

Receiving such a positive response, Matthew frowned slightly. He went silent for a few moments before raising his glass and finishing the wine in it.

Caleb and Skyler looked at each other, puzzled.

"What is this reaction of yours, Matt? Have you really fallen in love with Tiffany?"

"Miss Larson is his wife, and it's natural for him to love her. It would be unusual if he didn't."

Veronica's face showed up in Matthew's mind as he listened to what they said. "It's not her," he said, gripping his glass tightly as if he was unable to accept the reality.

Matthew was still doubting himself before this, but after hearing what Skyler said, he confirmed his suspicions. Such as the night when he didn't stop Veronica from leaving the condominium, he was restless and irritable for the entire day. That was the reason he came up with ideas for her to appear before him. Moreover, he wanted to hug her the moment he saw her, and even when she was sleeping, he kissed her silently. It was only out of moral obligations that he didn't do anything else to her.

But what Skyler said, especially the last part about doing nothing with her being wonderful—that was spot on.

"What, not her? You're saying it's not Tiffany?" Skyler was stunned, and he couldn't believe that Matthew said that. He immediately pursued, asking, "Who would it be if it's not her? Don't tell me you're hiding another woman?"

Caleb was equally surprised. Skeptically, he looked at Matthew, waiting for his answer.

But Matthew remained silent. He simply raised his glass with his slender fingers and silently drank his wine.

Both of them, as outsiders, were more anxious than Matthew.

After a while of suspense, Skyler slapped Matthew's back and uttered, "Come on Matt, answer us. I'm getting anxious here. How long do you want to keep us waiting?"

Still, Matthew remained silent.

Instead, it was Caleb who broke the suspense. He looked like he was seriously pondering over something and asked, "Don't tell me it's the god-granddaughter that Old Mrs. Kings said she was going to take?"

Clever enough to be perfectly accurate, him being a policeman came as no surprise.

"What're you saying, Caleb? That's impossible."

Skyler believed Caleb's guess was incorrect and proceeded to analyze the situation before explaining to Caleb, "Look, the godgranddaughter that Old Mrs. Kings wanted looks exactly like Tiffany. Further, that girl is just a country girl who is not presentable at all. Matt doesn't even like Tiffany, so how would he like another girl who resembles her? It's too far-fetched."

He shrugged and gave a confident smile, before raising his glass and clinking it with Matthew's. "Am I right, Matt?" He took a sip of his wine.

However, while he was drinking, he heard Matthew answering in a deep tone, "I guess it's her."

"Pfft— Cough... cough..."

Hearing that, Skyler spurted out the wine in his mouth while coughing nonstop. "Cough... What the f*ck. I nearly choked myself to death. Matt, what nonsense are you saying?

"And you're still unsure about this?" Caleb sensed Matthew's hesitation and reservations in his words.

Matthew shook his head slightly. "I was uncertain before I came here, but now, I'm pretty sure.

"I assume she's the girl you risked your life to save from the fire? Oh my, when I heard that from Thomas, I wondered since when you became such a great man. It turns out that you were saving that girl!"
