Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 425

"Skyler praised Monica?" Veronica asked in disbelief. Monica, in her desperation, came to Veronica for help once. Her mother-in-law abused her and had hurt her child badly. She phoned Skyler and asked him to admit Monica's child into Westcross Children Hospital. Thanks to that, the child was saved.

Monica fell on her knees and thanked Skyler, but they did not really talk after that.

"Yeah." Yvonne pouted. "He said she's gentle, smart, understanding, knows how to make money, and takes care of children really well. Instead, he called me a spoiled princess who can't even take care of myself, let alone a kid! " She smacked the table. "Of course, I'm mad!"

She's complaining, but uh... That sure doesn't sound angry to me. She looked at Ivana, but the woman only cocked her eyebrow and smirked. Oh... So that's what this is. Okay.

This is surprising.

Veronica took some time to process it and answered, "Skyler's just concerned about you, but he doesn't know how to show it." "Don't talk about him. He's annoying."

"Really? What should I do then? I still have to call Skyler if you need me to get you into Westcross, and the last time Monica asked for my help, I—"

"Alright, enough! It's Skyler this and Monica that!" She slammed her cutlery down. "You guys go on ahead without me. I need to use the restroom." She got up and went to the ladies.

Ivana whispered, "She's had wild mood swings ever since she got pregnant. Don't take it to heart."

"Oh, I don't think it's because of the pregnancy." Veronica smiled mysteriously.

She went back to Twilight Condominium at night. Veronica had her own place, but Twilight was near Starshine and her wedding planning agency was not that far away either, so she stayed around. The agency had opened for business a month ago, but it was a relaunch with Matthew as the boss in name. Numerous clients supported it thanks to that and the business boomed. Since Monica had to make money for her kid, Veronica assigned her as a part-time wedding planner. Thanks to her talent and capability, she was one of the pillars of the company now. On the other hand, Crayson maintained his position as the security guard, but he went back home to rest up as he had not been feeling well lately.

After arriving home and noticing Matthew's absence, Veronica went to the study and held an online meeting with Vincere Games' team members. They talked about the company's future and the plans that would lead to it. Thanks to Veronica's team, she had been enjoying great success ever since she invested in the company. They had been making profit ever since the second month. They had made four-hundred and forty thousand up until the current month; their momentum could not be stopped.

Just as Veronica logged out of the meeting and started up a game, Matthew returned home. "What are you up to?"

Just a game. I'll finish up this match in a jiffy," she answered and went back to her game.

With that, Matthew went and poured her a cup of tea. He placed it in front of her and stood behind the chair to watch her match.

In the game, she eventually got to the high ground and destroyed the enemy team's home base tower. With that, she won the match and removed her headphones. Leaning into her chair, she stared at Matthew and asked, "You must be busy with work, huh?'

"Well, I finished it." He held her cheeks and pressed his lips against hers. "Why didn't you go to sleep? You didn't have to wait for me."

"I'm not waiting for you. 1-1 just don't feel like sleeping." She would not admit that she was expecting him. Suddenly, she remembered something and her eyes shone. "Dad and Mom blessed our marriage. Can we head to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and get registered?"

"Oh, about that. I need to tell you something." He went around and pulled her up from her chair. Matthew sat down and placed her on his lap. "It's Tiffany's funeral tomorrow."

"It's tomorrow?" Oh. Not a good day to get wed. She leaned against his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Did you find Randy yet?"
