Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 270

The moment he hugged Veronica tightly, Xavier could smell the fragrance of her body. His heart began to beat uncontrollably and he started to feel nervous to the point that he could feel his body temperature increase when he gazed at her.

However, once Veronica withdrew from his arms reflexively, Xavier could feel a drop in his heart, and there was a chill in his eyes.

"Let me hold you."

Xavier stretched out his hand toward Veronica hesitated for a moment but still held his hand, planning to learn to ski with Xavier.

"We're all set. Let's go."

At the same time, Yvonne and Conrad were ready, so they held their ski sticks and slid down the track smoothly.

"Come on, I'll hold on to you." Xavier dragged Veronica forward a little, but just after taking a step, Veronica fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ouch."

Veronica, who had just plopped onto the ground, glanced at the tourists beside her with a smile, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Are you still going to ski like this?"

Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded.

Veronica turned around and was surprised to find that the person who spoke was Kuka!

Beside Kuka... was Matthew!

The two of them were carrying snow gears as they walked over and stood in front of Veronica.

There was a mocking smile on Ruka's face, but when Matthew saw Veronica, the gentleness on his face was gone and was replaced by the cold and indifferent expression he wore when they first met.

It had been two months since she hurt him mercilessly with her words in the hospital.

Even when she went to visit Elizabeth at Kings Residence, she never saw Matthew.

"Are there any rules stating that beginners aren't allowed to ski here?" Xavier spat with a gloomy face while leaning down to help Veronica stand.

Once Veronica got back up, she clenched Xavier's hand tightly, perhaps worried that she would fall over again.

When she looked up to meet Matthew's dark eyes, she felt her heartbeat speed up inexplicably. She even felt a little restrained.

"Mind your own business, bitch!" Veronica avoided Matthew's gaze and snapped at Ruka angrily.

"Did you just call me a bitch?!"

Ruka did not expect Veronica to scold her, so she stomped her feet angrily and questioned her.

"If you think that's what I meant, then it is what it is, Miss Dame. I'm not your mother, so I can't control what you think!" Veronica sneered and reached out to brush off the snow on her body. Anger was currently boiling within her.

At the jewelry show last time, Ruka tampered with her shoes. Veronica had not even settled that matter with her yet, and now Ruka was trying to pick on her again.

Since she enjoyed being scolded, Veronica decided to give her exactly that.

"Veronica Murphy, you... you better

know your limits!"

Ruka clenched her fists tightly and glanced at Matthew beside her as if wanting to see his reaction.

However, she only saw Matthew lowering his head and pulling a cigarette out of his pocket. He then placed the cigarette between his lips and lit it with a windproof lighter.

Although he did not do much, his swift and dashing movement made Ruka's heart flutter.

At the thought of that, Ruka's anger dissipated.

"Forget it. I don't want to argue with you." Ruka smirked proudly at

Veronica as if deliberately showing off in front of her.

She then said to Matthew, "Matthew, let's go skiing. Getting here is not as easy as a walk in the park. Let's not ruin our mood because of a certain someone."

"It doesn't matter if our moods are ruined. The smell of someone's perfume as cheap as those sold at a broken shop is polluting the air."
