Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 542

Although Skyler was yelling in an agitated tone, Matthew was still calmly reading the document. Parting his thin lips, he slowly asked, "What's the matter?"

It was as if Matthew had gotten used to Skyler's carefree personality and felt that the emergency Skyler claimed was not really an emergency at all.

"It's—" Skyler was a little hesitant as he was unsure if the child in Veronica's womb was Matthew's. Then, he tried again, "Y-You'd better mentally prepare yourself."

At last, Matthew finally closed the file and looked up at Skyler. "You better have something really important to tell me."

"Of course!" Skyler hurriedly nodded. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Earlier, my friend invited me to his hospital to check out a rare case, and—"

"Get to the point."

"The point is that I found out Roni is pregnant, so…" Skyler drew out his words while staring at Matthew, and he noticed that Matthew was giving him a cold stare while his eyebrows twitched. As such, Skyler thought that the child wasn't Matthew's, which is why he muttered, "The father might be… someone random?"

Matthew raised his eyes as he shot a cold gaze at Skyler. Then, he slammed the documents on the table at Skyler. "I'm the random man you're talking about!"

"What? Is it really you?"

Needless to say, Skyler was still surprised.

He hung his head in thought and muttered, "No wonder I saw Roni looking lost at that moment. You broke up with her, after all. However, she is pregnant, which is obviously why she's sad. A-After all, you already lost a child."

As he said that, Skyler placed the ultrasound examination report on the table.

Matthew picked up the report and read it with a dark expression. Then, he leaned against the executive chair and subconsciously picked up the phone to call Veronica.

However, he hesitated when he unlocked his phone and tapped on Veronica's contact.

Eventually, he slowly placed the phone on the table.

Instead, he pulled out a cigarette from the case and lit it to have a smoke while leaning on the chair. Then, he fell into a long silence.

Matthew's reaction made Skyler confused. "Hey, Matt. W-What's with this reaction? The child is all yours, so why don't you hurry up and ask Roni?"

Skyler felt like a back-seat driver.

Seeing Matthew was calm and did nothing, Skyler was anxious for his friend.

"Don't tell anyone about this."

Matthew's cold eyes turned to Skyler, his gaze full of warning.

"What do you mean?"

Skyler was utterly baffled as he was confused about what Matthew was thinking. "It's such a big deal, so why don't you contact Roni?"

Contact? Of course I want to contact her. Moreover, the only thing I want is to be by Veronica's side right this moment. However, Veronica hid the news of her pregnancy from me repeatedly. Then, she lied that she went shopping with Ruka, only to go to the hospital for a checkup. If it wasn't for Skyler accidentally seeing her in the hospital, I don't even know how long she will hide this from me.

"When you had an accident in Castron, Roni called me. She said she knew that you still had feelings for her. Why don't you guys… get together again?"

Skyler was worried as he looked at Matthew's stony expression.

"Look, you're rich and influential. Soon, you will have twins. You're at the peak of your life. Roni is so beautiful, and her personality is both spicy and sweet. Not to mention she is skilled, intelligent, and wise. Matt, she's a keeper. Old Mrs. Kings has been looking forward to your child for many years. I'm sure she'll be happy for a long time to know Roni is pregnant with twins. Would you like to guess if it is a pigeon pair, or is it two boys or two girls?"

The talkative Skyler rambled on and on.

Hence, Matthew flicked the ashes at the ashtray while holding the cigarette butt between his fingers and coldly glanced at Skyler. "Shut up."

The nagging made Matthew have a headache.

"Matt, what are you doing? You have twins; shouldn't you celebrate it right now? Why are you trying to shut me up?" Skyler rolled his eyes. "I won't shut up, and I shall call our brothers out to celebrate for you."
