Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 871

Veronica felt a little lost and helpless at that.

Despite the bitterness she felt in her heart, she knew she couldn't have the best of both worlds.

"You misunderstood," she clarified. "He has always wanted to reveal his identity, but I prevented him from doing so. And keep an eye out for Princess Eleanor. She is not an ordinary woman."

Then, she decided not to say any further. "Take care," she told Xavier before turning to Matthew and saying, "Matt, let's go."

They both then walked past Xavier.

For a split second, Xavier felt as if time had stopped when he saw the person whom he loved dearly walking away from him.

His heart seemed torn apart, and he almost couldn't breathe because of the pain he was in. When will she notice my love for her?

Meanwhile, after Veronica and Matthew got in the car, Matthew started the engine and drove away.

Veronica leaned on the co-driver seat, her gaze fixed on the road ahead. "Now that we've offended Zac, he'll almost certainly know who injured him if your identity is revealed. You must be more cautious from now on."

She was concerned about Matthew's safety.

"Noted, my dear wifey."

Matthew smiled with his lips pursed while he raised his hand to caress Veronica's cheeks.

However, the moment his hand touched her soft skin, she slapped it away coldly. "Focus on driving."

"Okay. I'll do whatever you say."

Matthew's good mood was clearly visible on his face.

Seeing that, Veronica was perplexed. "Why are you in such a good mood?"

"Nothing. I merely find it satisfying that you slapped Tiffany."

When they were in the living room earlier, Tiffany had been defaming Veronica, accusing her of having a secret relationship with Xavier. In response, Veronica slapped Tiffany hard.

Veronica frowned slightly at first, then smiled when she heard Matthew's words. "Is that so?"
