Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 421

"Why are you concerned when they won't stop you from receiving your marriage certificate?"

"You're as worried as a toad under a harrow. Are you afraid that I'll fall in love with someone else?" Matthew pursed his lips and patted Veronica on the back of her head.

"Hey! If you really fall for someone else, say the word and I'll leave without a trace." Veronica snorted softly and appeared arrogant on her petite face.

She was so proud of herself knowing well that Matthew loved her and was fearless because of his love for her...

Matthew's smudged smile stiffened after hearing the sentence and his smile gradually converged until it vanished.

"Look... There's a car! Look out!"

For a split second, Matthew involuntarily lost his focus and wandered as he stared at Veronica.

At this precise moment, she pointed to the front and yelled in horror as the car in front came to a halt.

Regaining consciousness in the next second, Matthew instantly slammed on the brakes.

Squeak. A piercing sound rang through their ears and Veronica's body was jerked forward before the safety belt dragged her back. Her body then struck the passenger seat hard after thudding around.

"What are you doing? Keep your eyes on the road while driving!" She frowned and scolded Matthew angrily.

She was furious because he drove recklessly, which caused her concern.

"Are you okay? I was just talking to you, but I was distracted." He gave an arbitrary excuse.

"Be careful. I was almost shocked to death." Veronica clutched her heart, terrified.

After the red light turned green, the car began to move slowly. Matthew looked ahead and said nothing while the atmosphere in the car fell into deafening silence.

Veronica, who was sitting in the passenger seat, cocked her head to look at her man. "Are you hiding something from me?" Intuitively, she felt that he appeared to be distracted by something, "Did Crayson say something to you?"

"Huh? No. Master Crayson didn't say much to me."

"Oh." Veronica sighed. "My master is always like that. He likes to ignore people, but he is genuinely nice and honest."

"We didn't manage to collect our marriage certificate today, so let's get it tomorrow," she said while clutching Matthew's hand as they arrived at Twilight Condominium.

"It's Saturday tomorrow."

"Huh?Then... That's fine. Let’s go on Monday."

"On the ninth of May? I recall you not being fond of the number nine," he reminded.

Realizing what he meant, she responded, "Oh, yeah. I don't like the number nine, it feels unlucky. Let's go on the tenth."

Letting go of Matthew's hand, Veronica then walked over to the couch and leaned against it while looking up at the ceiling and murmuring, "I don't understand why they're not giving us their blessings."
