Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 470

Ruka was pleased since Veronica agreed to her suggestion. "I should be the one thanking you since you've agreed to go to Castron with me. Come on; I'll buy you a meal." They headed to Phil's Restaurant, where they had their meal in a private room. "You can go ahead with your meal. I need to use the washroom." Veronica finished her beef Wellington, but her stomach felt rather uneasy. I wonder if it's because I drank cold water last night.

"Sure. Go ahead." Ruka nodded. Veronica got to her feet and headed out of their room before walking toward the washroom. Right then, she heard the sound of people arguing. "I dare you to touch me again! I'll... Ah!" The argument was followed by a scream, along with a banging sound. The person's voice sounded somewhat familiar to Veronica. She instinctively stopped in her spot as a person's face popped up in her mind. Sasha! It sounds exactly like her.

"Why don't you take a look at yourself, Sasha? Do you think anyone other than me would be interested in a psycho like you? Do you think you're actually a woman now? Well, you don't have a uterus at all!" A man's loud and harsh voice filled the air.

"Wu... No... You can't say that..." she

cried.

"Hmph! Am I wrong? Do you think Young Master Matthew would be interested in someone like you? You can't even bear his child!"

Veronica stood still in her spot for a long while. She hadn't intended to eavesdrop, but the person's words made her contemplate matters for a while. Tap tap tap... Right then, the sound of footsteps came closer to her. Before she could turn around to see who it was, someone shoved her out of the way. "Step aside."

The rough push sent her crashing against the wall beside her, and she let out a gasp of pain when her shoulder struck the concrete wall. "How dare you hit Sasha, Adrian?! Do you have a death wish?" This voice was even more familiar to Veronica. She immediately spun her head over to see the person who had pushed her aside—Skyler. And the guy in the suit behind Skyler is... Matthew? What... is he doing here?

"Wu... You’re finally here, Matt." Sasha, who had fallen to the ground after being hit, hastily scrambled to her feet before running to Matthew and hugging him. However, Matthew didn't allow her to do so—he pushed her aside before lifting his leg to kick Adrian in his chest. Thump! Adrian fell backward and hit the table behind him before collapsing onto the ground. He was so shocked that he couldn't even stand up properly for a while.

"I'll paralyze you if you ever lay another finger on Sasha!" Matthew hissed through gritted teeth. His voice was filled with hatred and anger. Meanwhile, Veronica pressed her palm against her chest as she stood by the door and watched everything that went down in the room. At that moment, she couldn’t help but think about what happened between her and Matthew in the cave a few days ago.

For a while, Veronica had felt some hope in her—she thought that Matthew was still attracted to her even if he had fallen for Sasha for a time. I thought he could give up on his peculiar relationship with Sasha to return to me. But it seems like I was just overthinking all along. Otherwise, why wouldn't Matthew realize my presence after they shoved me into a wall? He should've recognized me even from my silhouette.

"Hahaha..." Adrian pressed a palm against the ground before forcing himself to his feet. He rubbed his chest with his other hand as he let out a sarcastic laugh. "I didn't know you liked snatching away things that others fancy, Young Master Matthew."
