Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 545

“Girlfriend? I-I thought he didn't have one."

Veronica had thought Skyler wasn't in a relationship since the first day she knew him. So what is this about a girlfriend who has popped out of nowhere?

She looked back at Matthew with a curious face as she waited for him to give her an answer.

With no intention to hide the truth, Matthew explained, "Skyler's first love is the reason he is like this."

After saying that, he paused and hesitated, seemingly thinking of a way to explain it to her in a succinct manner.

"In short," he eventually added, "his first love played him. And he in turn started playing other people."

Veronica finally understood after hearing that.

It turned out that Skyler was such a casanova because his first love had hurt him. On top of that, he was still not over her.

Now that she was back, she had probably beaten Shirley up because she thought that there was something between Skyler and Shirley.

"That jerk of a man! All he does is flirt and hurt women!" she chided while taking her phone out to give Skyler a call.

However, her call went unanswered, and she only heard her call go into the voicemail.

Left with no choice, she hung up and went in with Caleb. She saw Shirley in the lounge then.

Shirley was dressed in a waist-cinching summer suit, and her hair was pulled into a high ponytail. But at this moment, her high ponytail was a mess that tilted to one side, and there were three bloody scratches on her fair face. On top of her eyes being swollen from crying, she also had blood at the corners of her mouth.

"Shir?!"

Heartbroken, Veronica walked over to Shirley.

As soon as Shirley, who was sobbing, heard that familiar voice, she looked up and saw Veronica walking in. She immediately got up and rushed toward Veronica and threw her arms around her as she sobbed. "You are finally here, Ron," she wailed.

Since Shirley didn't have relatives or friends in Bloomstead, she had naturally gotten close with Monica and Veronica.
