Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 582

"I know that."

"Since you know it, what are you hoping for, then?"

Antheena didn't receive an answer to her question, and she leaned against his back just like that with a sad look underneath her thick, long lashes.

After a while, she said, "What would it take for you to forget her?"

"Perhaps only death can cut off my yearning for her."

There was a time when Xavier was labeled as a Casanova, but he had always been a faithful person, and all that was just a cover-up.

In the Crawford Family, everyone looked down on him, and Veronica was the only one who was nice to him besides his sister.

During the darkest period of his life, Veronica showed up and gave his lonely soul a sense of belonging.

Gradually, he realized that he was in love with that woman.

She was like a brilliant pearl. She was intelligent and stunning, possessed extraordinary skills, and always exuded a certain charm.

Especially her smile, which was pure and bright like a breeze on a summer day, could take away all the sadness and troubles in his heart. It was akin to a warm sun as it had the power to warm his cold heart.

It would be impossible for him to forget her.

Unless he died. Only death could put an end to his love for her.

Antheena's eyes were unfocused for a moment before she tightened her arms around his waist. "You must be hungry. Let's have our breakfast downstairs."

If Veronica was dead and Xavier could forget about her. If that were the case, then Antheena wouldn't mind being the one to pull the trigger.

She had utterly misconstrued what he meant.

They ate downstairs, and Hendrey showed up after they had just finished breakfast.

"Why did you have breakfast so late?" Hendrey wore a white suit and smiled gracefully. "Or, did I arrive too early?"

"Of course not. Would you like to have some?" Antheena offered, flashing him a smile.
