Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 526

That afternoon, Veronica wanted to meet up with Yvonne. Right when she was going to dial Yvonne's number, she changed her mind and decided to catch her by surprise instead.

"I'll give you a ride there," Matthew said to Veronica as they walked out of the house.

"We can't be seen together. So I think we should just drive separate cars."

He would be leaving the company for a few days, so he needed to return to the company to handle some work.

"Okay. Get in the car, and I'll give you a ride to get your vehicle."

He thoughtfully opened the passenger seat's door for her. Then, he closed the door and walked to the driver's seat when she entered the car.

They drove towards the neighborhood of Veronica's rented apartment and stopped there. Then, she unbuckled her seatbelt, saying, "I might stay over at Yvonne’s place for dinner, so I won't be eating with you tonight.”

"Alright."

Matthew nodded lightly. His face darkened when he saw that she'd unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to leave the car. He proceeded to grab her elbow and tug her towards him.

She was caught off guard, so she fell backward without resisting, and the man caught her in his arms. Finally, he leaned over and softly pecked her lips, nibbling them a little before releasing them. It was as if he was claiming his territory by saying, "If you dare leave me like this next time, I will 'punish'you on the spot."

He made sure to emphasize the word 'punish'. It didn't take rocket science to understand what he meant by that.

His antics amused Veronica. "It's very not like you to be this clingy."

On the surface, she ridiculed him, but deep down, she was lovestruck, completely infatuated by him.

Maybe this was what it feels to be in love; it felt... great.

Matthew gently flicked her forehead and said, "I guess it's my fault for falling in love with such a heartless girl like you."

For her to take the initiative was like hoping that pigs could fly.

"No, I'm not."

Veronica beamed at him as she raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck, pulling him into another kiss.

That one small kiss she gave didn't last long, but it was enough to spark the flame of desire for her in Matthew. His big palms drew her head back toward him when she pulled her lips away. He swiftly took the lead and pressed his lips against hers, sucking onto them and softly gnawing her lips.

They both slowly closed their eyes, completely indulging in their passionate kiss.

Beep. Beep.

Suddenly, they heard a car horn coming from behind them.

They both opened their eyes and broke off from the kiss. The two gazed at each other and smiled.

"Darn it. You messed up my makeup." Veronica lightly hit Matthew's chest. She rose to her feet and said, "I have to go. See you later."

Before she left, she took out a tissue and passed it to him as she said, "Here."

She even pointed at his lips with her pinky finger where the lipstick stain was.

He waited until Veronica left and closed the door behind her before looking into the mirror. She left a faint lipstick stain on his lips.

Matthew shook his head and smirked, using the tissue she gave to wipe it off.

He watched her retreating figure enter her car before he went ahead and drove off.

Nevertheless, he still stopped at the neighborhood's entrance and waited for Veronica to drive out.

Not long after, her car appeared. When she saw his car parked on the side of the road, she suddenly felt moved by how sweet and gentle he was toward her.

She drove by his car and lowered the car window of the passenger seat. She tilted her head at him and waved, saying, "I'm off, see you tonight."

"Drive safely," Matthew reminded her.

She gazed at the man wearing a bespoke black dress shirt and a tie around his neck. His raven hair was complemented by his chiseled jaw, long nose, and angular lips; he looked like a piece of beautifully sculpted artwork. Although half of his face was concealed by his sunglasses, all of this was already enough to bring out his alluring charm.

The pair of black sunglasses he wore added a sense of aloofness. His every movement was elegant and exuded a strong aura wherever he went.

F*ck how can a man be this charming?

He had deeply enthralled her.

The car behind her honked, pulling Veronica away from her reverie. She waved and said sweetly, "Bye-bye!"
