Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 182

"It’s just a formality. You don't have to worry about it."

"Matthew, I... wanted to ask you something. Did you ever... love me?" Tiffany suddenly asked the question that she had been dying to know in her heart.

After she said those words, the other party fell into a few seconds of silence.

"I have never loved you."

He has never loved me!

Silence followed his answer. Although it was just five words, the feeling was more akin to someone stabbing a knife right into her heart without notice and the pain caused Tiffany to forget how to breathe.

The pain of having her heart torn apart spread across every cell in her body.

It was just as expected—he was never in love with her.

As to why he was willing to proceed with the marriage, it was all because Matthew wanted to keep the promise of them tying the knot after 'she had saved him' and she bore 'his child'. He thought that he should be the one responsible for it.

That was all.

"Grandma said that relationships can be fostered. You can also take your time to slowly learn how to love me once we are married, right?"

At that moment, Tiffany looked as pathetic and pitiful as she could ever be. Even the love that she desired looked so laughable.

Now that she was facing a man who did not have a shred of feelings toward her, she even had to speak carefully.

Was this the kind of love she really wanted?

Tiffany doubted herself.

His answer came after a moment of silence. "I won't."

When she had asked the question, all Matthew could see was the face of Veronica, whom he badly wanted.

Even if they looked almost identical, there were still so many subtle differences between them, such as their personality, eyebrows, voices, body...

Apart from the elegance that Tiffany was born with, she was lacking in every aspect when compared to Veronica.

However, it was Veronica's brash and honest personality that he particularly fancied.

After Matthew's words, the other side of the call went dead silent.

"From the beginning, I have said that you are a suitable candidate to marry into the Kings Family. That is all," the emotionless man added.

If what Matthew had uttered earlier was like an icicle that pierced her heart, then this sentence was akin to her posthumous torture.

It was pain beyond belief.

With a face that was full of tears, Tiffany lacked the strength to even speak.

She closed her eyes and hung up in despair.

What a sentence, 'From the beginning, I have said that you are a suitable candidate to marry into the Kings Family. That is all'.

At that time, she did not know whether to feel sad or fortunate about the whole thing.

It was not until a long while that she recomposed herself and left the bitterness behind.

It wasn't that she had good composure; it was just that she recently had too much to bear.

However, no matter what, the position of the Young Mistress of the Kingses was hers for sure.

On the other side, a call from Thomas came right after Matthew placed his phone down. "Boss, it's almost time for you to get changed." "There's no hurry." After hanging up, Matthew got up and walked to the bedroom.

The sight of Veronica waking up greeted him as he opened the door.

When he saw that she was still asleep, the man thought that she looked adorable before his cold face was replaced by a gentle smile. "Morning."

Upon seeing Matthew, Veronica was a bit shocked and felt uncomfortable since his words from last night echoed in her mind.

However, fearing that her reaction would be obvious, she could only pretend to walk in a relaxed manner to him with open arms. "Morning. As the godbrother and the groom of today's wedding, shouldn't you have prepared a big red packet for me? "
