Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 64

Feelings for her?Impossible!

These ‘unwitting bodily reactions’ were nothing more than a grown man’s physiological reactions. They didn’t mean anything.

The reason he rescued her, apart from not wanting his grandmother to worry about her, was because he had a singular, selfish desire.

The simple reason was that apart from her, no other woman could make him feel so much wanting. In fact, in the face of other women’s advances, he didn’t have the least bit of reaction.

Even though Matthew was aware of what he meant to her, he felt so heated at this moment that it was as if he was on fire. The heat was nearly driving him crazy.

On a normal day, he would set aside his cares to ravage her and extinguish the fire.

However, it had been only 25 days since her miscarriage, so he could not touch her.

Finally, he got up and went into the bathroom to take a cold shower.

However, once he lay down next to her, it didn’t take more than a few minutes for his body to burn up once again. Once again, he got up to take another cold shower.

As Matthew exited the bathroom in a towel and looked at Veronica lying in bed, he noticed that her dress had ridden up to her waist due to her sleeping position, effectively exposing her tight, shapely backside.

Frowning, he glanced down at the tent in his towel. Frustratedly, he lifted a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. “Godd*mnit!” he swore before pulling the blanket over her and covering her entirely with it.

Once more, he returned to the bathroom and took another cold shower before directly heading to the bedroom next to the study to sleep.

Early the next morning, it stormed. Lightning split the skies and thunder rattled the windows.

Even though it was already 7 or 8 AM, the skies outside were dark and oppressive.

Large droplets of rain came pattering down, gathering into rivulets and streaming down the glass.

With the penthouse phone in hand, Veronica went around trying to call Cody and the private detective. Yet, no one picked up.

Has something unexpected happened to them or have they changed their minds?

Veronica had no way of knowing.

Finally, she could only give up and call her foster mother to check in.

Beep beep beep—

After ringing several times, someone picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

It was the familiar voice of Daniella, Veronica’s foster mother.

“It’s Veronica, Mom.” She was gratified to hear her foster mother’s voice.

Before she was kidnapped, she had made arrangements to ensure that her foster parents would be safe and sound.

However, because it was so late in the night when she returned the previous evening, she hadn’t wanted to disturb them.

“Roni! Have you finished training?” Daniella asked after her warmly.

Long ago, Veronica had told Xavier that if anything happened to her, he was to tell her foster parents she was attending a closed training class after transferring to Xavier’s company.

It was precisely because she was going up against the Larson Family and deeply afraid that her foster parents would worry if something happened to her that she gave Xavier such instructions.

Sure enough, he hadn’t let her down.

“Yes, Mom, I’m back. How are you and Dad?”
