Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 853

From Xavier's look, it was obvious that he had just woken up. Only then did Veronica know that Matthew didn't look for him.

"Um… I…" she stammered and tried her best to think of a reason. In the end, she lied. "I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to call you to thank you, but your phone couldn't be reached. I thought you were in danger, so I came here to check on you." She still didn't mention anything about Matthew.

With his hand on the door handle, he recalled everything that had happened a few hours ago with a clear mind. Suddenly, his gaze turned dark, and he demanded coldly, "Are you saying a liar will care about me? Haha. Am I supposed to thank you?"

Suddenly, he estranged himself from her because of Matthew's fake death and all the lies she told him.

"Xavier…" She whispered his name and raised her head to look at him. The moment she looked him in the eyes, she could feel the iciness emanating from them. After just a glance, she lowered her head in guilt. "I know I lied to you, but you and Matt hate each other. I knew what we wanted, so the only thing I could do was hide it from you."

"Are you done?" Xavier was not moved at all. "Please leave if you're done."

Despite his request for her to leave, she didn't turn around to leave but lifted her head and asked with anticipation, "Can you and Matt drop your grudges for each other?"

If they kept treating each other as enemies, they would get hurt eventually, and no matter who got hurt, it was not what Veronica wanted to see. Everything would be sorted out if she could figure out a way to resolve Xavier and Matthew's relationship.

"Drop my grudges?" He raised his voice because he couldn't control his emotions. After saying that, he turned around to look in the direction of the bedroom before walking out and softly closing the door.

As he stood in front of Veronica, he put both his hands in the pockets of the bathrobe and stared at her. "Listen properly, Veronica…" Then, he said every word firmly, "In this life of mine, either I die, or he dies."
