Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 413

"He's caught," Matthew answered honestly.

"Oh." Since it was within expectation, Veronica did not waver. "About that... video..."

She looked at him with pursed lips. "That wasn't me."

Although she was not used to explaining her stance, she figured that it was necessary to explain it to him.

"I know."

"You knew?"

"There is a date stated on the footage. I've checked the surveillance footage at the hotel and Xavier and Tiffany were the only ones who went there." He stood up to pour her a cup of lukewarm water before feeding her with a spoon.

His gentle actions were unfamiliar to her as she blinked her eyes with mixed feelings while gawking at him.

The man smiled gently in response. "What are you looking at? You should get hydrated."

"Thank you, Matt." Veronica was genuinely touched.

"You don't need to say that to me ever again," he emphasized.

She could not help but smile. "Actually, you can... use a straw."

She reckoned that he had never taken care of anyone until today, so he did not know how convenient a straw was to the patients. As she had expected, his face went stiff in awkwardness in the fleeting second at her words.

Still, he remained serious. "I'm afraid that you'll drink too much. Spoon is better."

After feeding her a few spoonful to quench her thirst, she lay on bed as she mused on the news, which exposed the video.

"Let's... get married in secret," she suddenly proposed.

Matthew was taken aback by the sudden change in her attitude. His hand that was holding the cup paused in midair while his eyes fixated upon her. It took him a moment before letting out a smile. "That's a great idea, but I want to let the world know that you're my wife."

How could he not know the reason behind her suggestion? Forget about the fact that it had only been six months since his call-off engagement with Tiffany, it would cause a controversy despite having the scandal handled and debunked. If they were to get married in secrecy, the outsiders would not point fingers at the Kings Family at all.

"I..." Veronica blinked her bright eyes at him. "I don't like a grand wedding. I want it to be simple, so it's fine for me. If you don't want it, then let's just forget it."

"No. Let's do as you say. We'll register our wedding after you've recovered." It was safer to get married first regardless. He was afraid that Veronica would retrieve her words and he would definitely rue this day for not agreeing to it.

"My phone is with Xavier. Could you tell Sean-

"I've told him about it. You're on leave now."

"He must be angry since I've caused such a big trouble right after signing the contract with them."

"It's been settled. You're in good hands." Matthew pinched her cheek. "Take a good rest for the next couple of days. I have something on this afternoon, but I'll visit you after that."

"Don't mind me." She nodded.

Knock! Knock! Knock!
