Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 265

Something was definitely wrong with Veronica's taste in men.

"Hello, Hendrey."

Hendrey smiled elegantly and took the initiative to shake hands with Yvonne.

"Alright, have fun chatting. I have to head back to the office to settle some stuff." Yvonne withdrew her hand and left the ward.

"Sure," answered Hendrey as he walked into the ward with a bouquet in his arms. He saw Veronica lying on the hospital bed and halted in his steps.

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Veronica propped herself up with her hands on the bed and sat up against the head of the bed, covering herself with the blanket.

At that moment, the quiet ward made them feel somewhat restrained and awkward.

"Yesterday, you..." "You..."

The two of them spoke at the same time but stopped when they only uttered a few words. When their gazes met, they laughed.

"Ladies first. You should go first."

Hendrey placed the flowers on the table and sat on the chair beside the bed.

Seeing him being so polite, Veronica felt a little awkward.

Perhaps, in front of her first love, she found it difficult to calm down.

"When did you come back?" she inquired.

"I just arrived in Bloomstead yesterday, and my friend invited me to watch the jewelry exhibition. I didn't expect to see you there." After saying that, Hendrey hesitated for a moment before continuing, "On the runway yesterday, you..."

"What a coincidence!"

Veronica interrupted him while smiling, "We must be fated. I happened to be a model for the catwalk yesterday, and in order to create a selling point, I discussed with Ivana of Julius Atelier Jewelry to make up a story for the First Love jewelry series. I never expected you to show up at all! Sorry for the

misunderstanding."

She knew what Hendrey was going to ask, so she quickly explained the situation to him.

"Does that mean you pretended to faint on the spot?" Hendrey, like the sophisticated man he was, smiled elegantly.

"Of course! Wouldn't it be way too embarrassing if I hadn't pretended to faint in that situation?" Veronica raised her eyebrows and smiled smugly, gloating, "I responded pretty quickly, didn't I?"

She pretended to be nonchalant as if she did not take what happened yesterday to heart.

Her response instantly calmed Hendrey down.

He shook his head and sighed, "You're still the same as before, you naughty little brat."

"You don't say."

The two chatted until they were comfortable with each other's presence and were not as tense as before.

"Why did you suddenly return after living abroad for so many years?" "Nowhere else beats our own country, so I'm planning to stay back and settle down here.”

"That sounds good. There is also a lot of room for domestic development. Intellectuals like you are talented and have a bright future."

"You're getting better at flattery," Hendrey could not help but remark as he chuckled. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "I heard that you were being recommended to study at Collins University. How are you doing now? You've studied marketing management, so you should be able to find a good job.” Veronica did study marketing management at Collins University, but after going to university, she preferred a major in computer science, so she took up a double degree.

Initially, Veronica did land a good job, but later when her adoptive father was injured and needed money for medical treatment, she could only quit her job in Collins and come to Bloomstead to work as a security guard. In that way, she could take care of her parents while earning money.

After that, she met Matthew, and her journey had been bumpy until today.

"Maybe I'm too picky, so I haven't figured out what to do yet." She did not tell Hendrey that she owned a bridal store.

After all, the bridal store relied on the Kings Family to survive, so it was not considered a glorious achievement or anything.

"There's no rush in looking for a job. It's more important that you take care of yourself," Hendrey comforted her before raising his wrist to check the time on his watch.
