Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 590

After the failed business deals in Castron, he had no choice but to personally meet the other party and attempt to salvage the situation.

The person whom he felt the most worried about after leaving was Veronica.

He was not afraid of her safety, but he couldn't say the same for her emotions as it would affect the child she was carrying.

Veronica was leaning against the headboard and staring outside the window as she was deep in thought about Yvonne's kidnapping. It was evident that she was despondent.

Yet, the man had said that he was going on a business trip.

She understood the kind of person that Matthew was. He would usually accompany her whenever she was down in the dumps, but now that he was leaving, he definitely had to attend to something important.

Veronica nodded. "Go ahead. I'll take the next two days to consider Yvonne's matters."

"The flight's leaving in an hour's time."

"Let me see you off."

"Why? Are you treating me like a child who needs a guardian to send him off?" He gave her a gentle smile as he raised his hand to brush the loose strands of her hair on her forehead aside. "I'm a little reluctant to part with you, though."

"And you have the nerve to say that you're not a child. What a boring idiot. You are no different from a child, you know," Veronica deliberately teased. Afterward, she waved her hand. "Alright, let's quickly be on our way. Don't miss the plane. Shirley and Monica will be swinging by later, so it'd be inconvenient for you to be here."

"Sure."

Matthew nodded, and when he stood up to leave, he placed an arm around her neck to allow her to lean on him.

He ran his fingers through her hair as he sighed in disappointment. "I'm also reluctant to leave you."

"You men are in turmoil whenever you can't obtain your desired item but don't know how to show your appreciation when you have it. We have only gotten together and have years ahead of us. So, it'd be much appreciated if you could behave like this on a daily basis instead of being temporarily reluctant."

Veronica had said those words to Matthew on purpose.

On the one hand, it was to inform him that he had to be responsible for her for the rest of her life.

On the other hand, she also wanted him to leave as soon as possible so that he won't miss his flight and be able to attend to his essential matters.

Even though she was reluctant to see him go, she dared give voice to those particular sentiments.

Veronica feared that the moment she said she would miss Matthew, he would drop everything on hand to be by her side.

"Ah—" She yawned twice and added, "I'm sleepy, so I want to catch forty winks. You should leave."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

The man cradled the back of her neck and gave her a peck on her forehead.

The kiss was extremely long; it was as if he was reluctant to part ways before he found his way to her lips.

Her lips were akin to a pillow—soft and fluffy, but they carried a trace of sweetness that made Matthew greedy for more.

"Hey, Matthew Kings. You are going overboard." Veronica pushed him away with disgust. "Why aren't you leaving? I still need to sleep. I always feel exhausted now that I'm pregnant."

"Alright. Go ahead and sleep."

He helped her to lie down before he tucked her in bed before turning to leave.

Veronica was on the bed and closed her eyes to sleep, but it was only after Matthew stood by her bedside for a good minute before he was willing to leave.

When she heard the door to the ward closing, she slowly opened her eyes and blinked while her eyelashes fluttered. As such, she fell into deep thought. What did Matthew land himself in?

She took her cell phone and made a call. "Colt, help me investigate all the matters pertaining to Spinfluence Group."

"Sure, I'll attend to it right away."
