Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 541

Matthew undid his apron and put it on the back of the chair before he walked over to Veronica. After he tilted her chin with a finger, he gently placed a kiss on her forehead. "I am fine as long as you are here. The only thing I worry about is how I will never be fine if you dump me one day."

Matthew's words had an underlying message, but Veronica pretended to not understand. She only pouted and boasted, "You will have to serve me well, then. Who knows if there will come a day when I dump you because I am not happy."

"That, of course, is my fault when you put it that way." Leaning close to her ear, Matthew lowered his voice as he murmured, "It seems I will have to work out more from now on. What am I going to do if my woman dumped me because I can't 'serve' her well due to a lack of stamina?"

Veronica was stunned for a beat before she muttered, "You old pervert!"

"It has been years since I passed the legal age. You are not wrong for calling me old."

"Pfft! Matthew Kings, you are getting more and more unscrupulous!" Veronica laughed, amused by Matthew.

"Alright, alright. Aren't you going to see Yvonne? You should go now."

"I am not going anymore. She is already on a plane."

"Already?"

Matthew didn't think too much about it.

With both his head and heart filled with Veronica, he didn't care about other people, much less concern himself with them. "That works out just nice. I will take you to the hospital to check your throat."

"It is just sore. I am not going to the hospital."

In fact, Veronica didn't have a sore throat at all. She would definitely get busted if she agreed on going to the hospital.

She got up and walked toward the bedroom as she waved dismissively. "You should get to work. I will sleep in for a bit. I might not have such a comfortable life in the future."

"I will keep you company."

Hearing that, Veronica quietly grumbled to herself, How am I supposed to get a pregnancy test if you are here?

"What are you keeping me company for?" She tried to shoo Matthew off. "I am still going to hang out with Ruka today. I can't possibly let her see us together."

"She won't."

Veronica was rendered speechless at his short reply.

Resigned, she could only call Ruka. "Hey, where are you?"

"You're finally giving me a call, huh? I thought you went missing."

Ruka continued to huff from the other end of the call. "I asked you to go find Hendrey with me, and you actually abandoned me and went home yourself!"

"Hehe, I didn't have a choice. Speaking of Hendrey, have you found him?" Veronica acted all innocent.

She didn't want Ruka to know too much about her relationship with Hendrey. The more Ruka knew, the worse it would be for her.

"I didn't see him, but I heard he is fine."

"That is good news. Are you free today? Do you want to go shopping?"

"Sure! When are we going?"

"I will go to you in a while." Veronica proceeded to tell Ruka what time she would be there.

She had no choice but to ask Ruka out to go shopping together.

Now that they were together and Matthew was aware that Veronica would be leaving soon for hardcore training that would last half a year, Matthew tried his best to spend as much precious time with her.

On the other hand, she only wanted to get rid of him so that she could get a pregnancy test from a pharmacy and test if she was pregnant.

She honestly didn't know what other excuse she could come up with, if not shopping.

After half an hour, Veronica successfully left Matthew as she drove to Luka's.

As she was passing by a pharmacy, she stopped the car to buy a pregnancy test. She went as far as to buy five different brands, out of fear that one of them would be inaccurate. After that, she ran to a nearby public restroom, and did the test with all five sticks.

Her heart immediately dropped when she looked at all the two-line test results after five minutes.

Feeling uneasy, Veronica swiftly called Ruka and came up with a reason to suddenly not go.
