Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 69

Indeed, Matthew had said that the previous evening, but he had been lying.

Now that he changed his mind, he corrected, “You remembered wrongly.”

“Remembered wrongly?” Carefully, Veronica thought about it. Indeed, she could recall now that there had been more than one bed at his penthouse when she was kidnapped.

At this moment, she was penniless and had no money to rent a room. It was also unclear how the Larson Family felt about her right now, so it would be safer and more cost-efficient for her to stay at Matthew’s penthouse in Twilight Condominium.

However...

“We would be a single man and a woman sharing an apartment. Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” she asked, her tone guarded.

After taking in her stance, Matthew simply reached out and took the access card from her hands.

Ding—

As the elevator reached the second-floor basement, the doors opened and he walked out.

Immediately, she chased after him. “I’m kidding! Please don’t take it seriously. You’re my brother now. I trust your morals!”

Pahl Only a fool would trust him.

Nonetheless, given the dire straits she was in, sleeping at the penthouse was her best option.

Moreover, she had Elizabeth to protect her. That was why Veronica trusted Matthew wouldn’t do anything to her.

Otherwise, she would castrate him personally!

After tugging on his arm and pulling the access card from his grip, she looked up at him. “If I have a place to stay, do I have food to eat as well?”

“This is what you wanted, Young Master Matthew—" Waiting at the second-floor basement, Thomas had gone up to greet Matthew upon seeing him walk over, only to witness Veronica holding onto Matthew’s hand and skipping alongside him as she joked and laughed.

Both of them were acting intimate without the animosity from before, when they would be filled with murderous rage whenever they set eyes on each other.

“Ah—Thomas!” Veronica exclaimed upon seeing Thomas approach. “Do you both have something to talk about? I’ll wait over there for you, then.”

With that, she made to leave.

However, Matthew kept his hold on her hand and said collectedly, “It’s okay. Let’s go.

Holding onto her hand very naturally, he led her over to his private car.

Forsaken, Thomas looked down at the paper bag in his hands. Inside it was all of Veronica’s personal information.

Is Young Master Matthew truly not anxious about it?

In astonishment, Thomas turned to look at the pair retreating in the distance. Since when have they been so close?What on earth happened the previous night?

Meanwhile, Veronica climbed into the back of the sedan while Matthew got into the passenger’s seat.

“Where do you want to go?” he asked.

“To—” she stopped, her expression suddenly sinking. In truth, there were many things she wanted to attend to, but she had to go to the police station to have her identity taken care of first. “Send me to the police station. I have to reapply for an ID.”

“There’s no need,” he replied, “Thomas is taking care of it. Come back with me to the Kings Residence for now. Grandma wishes to see you.”

Meanwhile, Thomas, who was entering the car, paused. Since when am I taking care of her identification?

Ever since Veronica disappeared, Thomas had been busy searching for her whereabouts. Then, he was rescuing her with Matthew, only for the latter to instruct him to look into her personal information after that. In short, Thomas had had no time to take care of her identification at all.

Nevertheless, he kept his complaints to himself and only nodded cooperatively. “Don’t worry, Miss Murphy. Your ID will be ready in two days.”

“Alright. Thank you very much.” That was all she could say since it would be much slower for her to take care of things herself.
