Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 369

Although Veronica saw the woman once, she could clearly remember her face.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

Veronica glanced elsewhere and avoided Matthew's question.

"She is Olivia Reyes, a friend of Skyler and I," Matthew stood before Veronica and explained.

Am I really explaining things?

It's been years since I patiently explained my actions to someone.

"You are angry because you care about me, right?"

Matthew realized Veronica was in a bad mood. Before he returned to Destor, he had received Skyler's call.

On the phone, Skyler explained to Matthew about the situation in the hospital that day.

Matthew immediately realized that was the reason Veronica rejected his calls.

"I'm not." Veronica frowned. "Don't think highly of yourself."

However, Matthew couldn’t help laughing. "Your expression says it all."

"That's ridiculous."

Veronica took the poker and swept some firewood in Matthew’s direction. She coldly snorted. "I just don't think we are compatible. That's all."

Matthew looked at the hay leaves on the black leather shoes and revealed a small smile. "We will talk about that after three months. I'll repeat myself —Olivia and I are just friends, and will always be friends."

Although Matthew was unhappy because Veronica had ignored him for days, he understood that she was jealous.

As such, his mood instantly improved.

It's worth putting down the big project in Castron and making a trip back.

Veronica lowered her head. She held a poker in her hand and poked at the dry grass on the ground, not saying anything.

Are they really just friends?

Then, why did Matthew lie that day?

"I didn't tell you that day because I was afraid you would misunderstand." Then, Matthew added, "You should know if I really have a messy private life, I can easily flirt all day as there are many women around me. Why should I go to Castron just to get a woman?"

It was very convincing.

Veronica had to admit many women liked Matthew.

If he wanted to hang out with other women, he wouldn't need to do that in Castron.

However...

"Who knows? Maybe you care for that woman," Veronica muttered.

After she said those thoughtless words, she immediately stopped. She then turned her head to the side and covered her face in embarrassment.

Are you stupid?!

How can you say your thoughts out loud?!

Matthew found her embarrassed appearance so playful and cute that he couldn't tear his eyes away from her. Then, he stepped forward, gently ruffling her hair and said, "Roni, I rarely promise one thing. However, listen to me carefully—if I don't love you anymore, I will tell you instead of going to someone else behind your back."

"Are you saying you won't love me one day?"

Veronica turned back and stared at Matthew coldly, a look of sadness and anger on her face.

Matthew was at a loss for words.

Then, he shook his head." I just wanted to show that I'm not going to cheat on you during a relationship or marriage."

When the duo were talking, a fragrance came out of the oven.
