Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 469

After the child was sent away, Yvonne's emotions were all over the place, so Veronica decided to stay in the villa to be with her. Both of them chatted for a long while and only slept in the middle of the night. The next day, Veronica made her way to work, keeping her busy for a few consecutive days. However, she was reminded of an incident when she was done with her work.

She recalled what she had done in the mountains with Matthew a few days ago, and she realized how she hadn't taken any morning-after pills following their intercourse. So... Does it mean that I'm at a higher risk of getting pregnant? Just the thought of it made Veronica feel horrible.

One day, Veronica headed to the lounge to get some rest after she took a series of pictures in the studio at work. When she walked past the office, she bumped into Ruka. "Hey!" Veronica greeted Ruka first. When Ruka saw Veronica, she walked over and gave her a friendly squeeze on her arm. "What have you been up to? I haven't seen you around at all," Ruka commented.

"Well, what else could I be up to? I was just filming in the studio this whole morning," Veronica replied.

"I heard Sean say you're a pretty influential figure at work. I bet Mia's really jealous of you." Even though Ruka wasn’t in Starshine, she was highly familiar with everything that was happening in the company. "Well, a fight is bound to happen as long as women are involved," Veronica said with a nonchalant shrug.

A conflict had already started brewing back when Mia and Veronica were in Castron together, and Mia had already despised Veronica back then. Tiffany was the one who was giving Mia her orders, but Mia hadn't even shown up at Tiffany's funeral when she passed away. Their friendship was practically meaningless as they had only been using one another from the very start.

Both Ruka and Veronica made their way to the lounge. "What brings you here today?" Veronica asked. Since Ruka discovered that Matthew was interested in 'men', she was no longer as hateful toward Veronica. Back then, Ruka had treated Veronica as a love rival since she was interested in Matthew. Nevertheless, after Matthew was exposed online for having kissed a 'man' on the streets, Ruka was utterly taken aback for a while.

Furthermore, when they were in the clothing store, Veronica kissed Matthew's neck while she was dressed in men's clothing, and she did it right before Ruka's eyes. The whole incident came as a considerable blow to Ruka, and the impact was so strong that it completely changed her view on things. Ever since then, Ruka had started getting closer to Veronica. They were relatively close, but they weren't close to a point where they'd share everything with each other.

"Well... I was thinking of taking a trip to Castron," Ruka spoke after some hesitation.

"Castron?" Veronica frowned as she recalled how Ruka had asked her about Hendrey just a few days ago. "Are you going there to meet

Hendrey?" Ruka smiled without saying anything for a while. Regardless, there was a somewhat awkward look on her face.

"You used to be interested in Matthew. Have you fallen for someone new already?" Veronica asked in a teasing manner. Ruka pouted at the mention of Matthew. "Stop talking about that guy. That was such a shame," she complained while sitting on the couch and resting her forehead against her palm. "It was all one-sided love. If I knew that he was into men from the start, I wouldn't have fallen for him at all, right? Ugh. Every time I think about the fact that he likes men, I just..."

Ruka pressed her hand against her chest as she gritted her teeth and frowned to put on a pained expression. "I'm sure you feel my pain, right?"

Veronica shook her head. "No. I can't relate at all. I'm not interested in a jerk like him." Her words were the complete opposite of how she felt. Thankfully, I've already broken up with Matthew. Otherwise, Ruka might find out that I'm the one who was pretending to be a man, and she'd kill me!
