Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 539

Yvonne felt touched, knowing that Veronica had done everything for her sake.

The two of them sat in the living room and chatted for a bit, but Yvonne was out of it. When she noticed that it was already close to eight, her eyes lit up as she thought of a plan. "Roni, I won't ask you to stay the night here since I want to sleep with the baby. I'm afraid that... the baby will disturb you."

Looking at the warm scene of Yvonne doting her baby, Veronica felt slightly envious. "Alright, then you should have some rest. I'll be back tomorrow morning." She knew that Yvonne wanted to spend some time alone with the child as she hadn’t seen the child for some time, so she didn't want to disturb the mother-son bonding time. Thus, after a few more pleasantries, she left the villa.

As there were many mercenaries stationed for the villa's protection, there shouldn't be any problems as long as Yvonne stayed put. Not to mention, it would only be one night before she flew back to Castron. Even if Conrad is fast in gathering information, news of the child returning to Yvonne wouldn't reach his ears that fast, she thought.

Nonetheless, Veronica felt a vague sense of uneasiness. So, instead of going to Matthew, she decided to first stop by Vincere Games. Since she would be away from Bloomstead for a long time to undertake the Devil’s training, she needed to take care of the company's affairs before leaving.

Fortunately, she had a good relationship with the partners of the company. Thus, she only needed to explain to them that she would be out of contact for some time as she would be undergoing special training in Castron and that she would arrange for someone to take care of the company's affairs in her place. As the partners made no objections, she left after spending close to two hours in the company.

When Veronica came back to Twilight Condominium, she found Matthew in the living room. Sitting on the couch while working on his laptop, he looked as though he was waiting for her return.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Veronica asked while she changed into her indoor shoes. Then, she walked over to Matthew and wrapped her arms around his neck before she kissed him on the cheek.

Closing his laptop and setting it aside on the table, the man then looped his left arm around Veronica's waist. "I was waiting for you."

"Matt, you're such a wonderful man." With a smile filled with desire, she rested her chin on the man's shoulder with her head slightly tilted enough for the man's face to come into her peripheral vision. Then, she lamented, "When I saw how gentle and tender Yvonne was when she had her baby in her arms, I was envious of her."

"Is that not a simple matter? Your husband can grant you your wish whenever you desire," Matthew said with a mischievous smile.

Veronica pondered with a frown before she said, "That little baby was really cute. However, I don't wish to have a child yet. Since I'm still a child, I don't want to be raising another child."

"It's no concern. I can work a little harder in raising two 'children."'

"Wouldn't that be too hard on you?"

Although she had posed such a question, she was still touched and felt her heart melt into a puddle listening to Matthew. Though he was several years older than her, he had always taken great care of her. She enjoyed such a life where she was pampered daily by him.

"Taking care of my wife and child is not only my obligation but also my duty, so it won't be hard on me. On the contrary, it would be... my honor." Matthew pinched her cheeks. "Grandma has always wanted a grandchild. Don't you want to fulfill her wishes?"

"You're saying it as though I can make a baby on my own."
