Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 826

"You…"

Mateo intended to say something else but noticed that Veronica had already gone up the stairs.

He lifted a hand and scratched his head before heading directly into Crayson's bedroom to seek Crayson's approval.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Veronica went back into her room and entered the bathroom to freshen herself. However, Matthew was still nowhere to be seen in her bedroom after coming out of the bathroom.

She couldn't help muttering, "Is he not coming over today? Whatever. I'll read before bed."

She walked past the screen separating the bedroom from the study room and was about to head to her desk when suddenly, she felt a tug on her elbow. Subsequently, she was taken into a pair of waiting arms.

At that moment, she was hit by a waft of the refreshing scent of body wash. She leaned against the man's well-built chest and wrapped her arms around his waist quite naturally. "I thought that you…"

As she lifted her head to speak, she saw an aloof but handsome face in front of her eyes.

Ever since she joined the hidden clan, Matthew had been in full disguise with makeup on. However, he had removed his makeup right now and revealed his actual looks. It was also the same face that Veronica missed dearly.

However, Veronica frowned and placed her fingers over his cheeks before gently caressing his supple face with the tip of her fingers. She couldn't contain her sympathy as she said, "Your skin is fairer than before because of the thick layer of makeup you apply every day."

It was fortunate that his skin condition was great, and even when he applied makeup daily, the pores on his face were not enlarged. On the contrary, his face appeared fairer than ever, but that was exactly what pained Veronica.

After all, constantly having makeup on one's face would ultimately damage their skin. Perhaps there might not be any issues for the time being, but over time, Matthew's skin would be affected.

Veronica cupped his face with both hands and lifted her head to look at the man right in front of her. Her eyes looked misty, and the pain in them shone through.

"Silly girl."

He revealed a smile on his handsome face and wrapped his arms around her waist. Subsequently, he said affectionately, "I'm a married man, so I wouldn't mind as long as you don't find it hard to accept."

He spoke gently, and despite the warm, fuzzy feeling that welled up within her, she felt quite awful as the guilt in her intensified.
