Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 793

"Haha, I, uh…" Veronica gazed at Matthew with her back pressed against the door, and as her conscience crept up on her, she shifted her head aside, no longer daring to look at him. "What does it have to do with me?"

Goodness, this is maddening!

Liam was already enough trouble as it was, and now Mateo was trying to wedge himself into the picture! I seriously have no time to deal with this sh*t.

"What does it not?" argued Matthew as he pressed his forehead against hers. His sudden closeness intimidated her so much that she forgot to breathe for a second.

At that, she shook her head like a rattle for the sake of her dear life. "You can't possibly hold me accountable for whom they like, can you?

"Of course. There's a fundamental difference."

Veronica couldn't help thinking Matthew was trying to get her to dig herself into a hole with these questions.

"It's not that either. You're now the father of my twins, which makes us family."

"So, there's all there is? Family and no love?"

"Is there a difference?" Veronica threw his question back at him.

Matthew turned grimly in response, and he pinched her waist with the hand wrapping around it. "So, someone lost her love for me and now wants to move on, does she? Looks like I haven't been performing well lately…"
