Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 458

Veronica was a foodie, and coupled with her being hungry for a long time, making her look at Matthew enjoying the food alone was a physical torment and destruction for her.

Matthew deliberately scolded Veronica, but he still involuntarily smiled as he looked at her lowered head while she ate.

He slowed down his eating, and in the end, he stopped doing so altogether.

On the other hand, she swept through several plates of food on the table at an incredible speed.

She put down the knife and fork before she took out a tissue and wiped her mouth with a satisfied look.

Then, she leaned on the couch and let out a long sigh to the point where she indecently hiccuped. Her burps were apparent in the office.

At that, Veronica immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth with an unnatural look on her face.

Matthew spent a considerable time with Veronica, so he was accustomed to her cold appearance and carefree temperament in private. Truth was,

he found it fascinating.

Feeling his hot gaze on her, she frowned. "Why are you looking at me? Now that the meal is over, can you talk about Yvonne?"

"Can't you at least clean up the table after eating it for free?"

Matthew sat on the couch with crossed legs as he pointed at the dirty plates on the table, signaling her to put away the dishes.

Although Veronica was unwilling to do it, she still cleaned the plates and wiped the table with a paper towel to keep it clean as she thought to herself, But, of course, it is all because I ate a free meal... Bah, what am I talking about? The meal was delicious!

After getting everything done, Veronica looked at Matthew with a cold expression. "Can we talk now?"

"Okay." He nodded slightly. "Conrad is —ouch! I have a slight headache."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his head with a pained expression.

As Veronica had been with Matthew for a long time, she knew that he would never attempt to seek attention by acting pitiful.

Veronica's heart skipped a beat when he cried out in pain, and she sat up straight, feeling slightly nervous. "A-Are you alright?”

Veronica's imagination suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Matthew was flirting with Sasha and said he loved Sasha out of the blue, despite him being close with Veronica.

Hence, Veronica was confused and tormented during these times.

On one hand, she thought the relationship between Matthew and Sasha was bizarre and felt his confession was fake but on the other hand, Veronica felt Matthew might really like Sasha.

Whether it was true or false, Veronica couldn't see through it.

Hence, when she saw Matthew cry in pain while clutching his temples, Veronica thought Matthew might be dying of cancer, so he pretended to like someone else to break up with her—just like the plot of a soap opera.

Although they broke up three months before, she knew her heart only had Matthew in it.

The room in Veronica's heart was small enough to keep him and him only.

Although Veronica was deceived by Matthew, she still couldn't forget him. So, she could only let time pass and gradually forget about him with the flow of time.

"I-It's alright. It's just a headache."

Matthew rested his head on his palm, and his elbow was on the couch. His dark eyebrows were knitted into a frown while his handsome face was filled with pain.

"If not, I better call a doctor for you." Veronica was worried about him, so she took out her cell phone and prepared to call a doctor.
