Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 90

Then, Matthew remembered that Veronica hadn't had a proper sleep in the last two days, so he couldn't bear to wake her up. After throwing a blanket on her, he proceeded to his study.

Even though the blanket had gently landed on her, it still managed to wake her up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she instantly felt much better.

After resting for a little while more, she went to the bathroom to change her clothes. Then, she borrowed a book from the study and lay down on the couch to read it.

The whole process didn't feel like it took much time for her, but when Matthew came out of his study and saw that Veronica was still reading the book, he immediately snatched it and said, "It's 2:00AM. Time for you to go to bed."

He ordered her as if he was an older brother being stern with his little sister.

"Give it back to me!" Just as Veronica was getting to the good part, her hands suddenly became empty as the book was snatched away from her. As a result of that, she glared at Matthew angrily.

"Aren't you going to Almeida tomorrow?" The man reminded her while hiding the book behind his back.

"It won't affect me. I can still wake up."

"Go to sleep." He wore a cold expression and took the book back to his room without saying anything else.

"Matt—" Before she could finish calling his name, he immediately slammed his door shut, so she couldn't help but yell, "You brute! You are just a selfish and arrogant b*stard!"

Without the book, she suddenly felt bored, but she suddenly remembered the book's name and used her phone to search for it on a reading app. After locating the part where she had stopped, she continued to read from where she left off.

And just like that, she read the book all the way until 5:00AM. When she began to feel sleepy and her eyelids could no longer move, she lay on the couch and fell asleep.

At the same time, Matthew went over to the side of the couch and stood there for a while. Watching Veronica sleeping on the couch, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Does she... always sleep so late every night?

However, he didn’t think much about it as he carried her back to her bedroom.

When he gently placed her on the bed and looked at her sleeping, he felt as though she was a quiet and lovely cat that was pleasing to the eye. Only her quiet looks will make others feel cute unlike her usual fierce self.

"Um..."

Matthew reached out to push the strands of hair on her face aside, but the moment his fingertips touched her face, Veronica brushed his hand away and groaned.

Then, he hugged her tightly like an octopus. While she was being hugged, she found a comfortable posture to return to sleep.

Lying next to her, Matthew carefully and quietly stared at her face—from her eyes all the way to her red lips. In the end, he couldn't help but lean over to kiss her lips.

He could no longer control his emotions.

Not only was her lips soft and slightly cold, there was also a hint of fragrance, causing him to lose himself involuntarily.

When he felt a change in his body, he immediately moved back by several inches and stopped kissing her.

It felt as though he was playing with fire.

Her face is clearly the same as Tiffany's, but why don't I have any interest in Tiffany at all?

Matthew lusted for Veronica's unique body scent a little. The scent was so familiar that it made him feel relaxed, comfortable and enjoyable.

And just like that, he allowed her to sleep in his arms for a while before releasing her when her breathing calmed and she was in a deep sleep. Then, he left her bedroom in a hurry.

It seems like I still need to keep my distance away from her. Otherwise, it is hard for me to believe that I repeatedly have trouble controlling myself whenever I face her.

The feeling of powerlessness over his own body made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

The next day came and went just like the previous few days. When Veronica woke up at 7:00AM, Matthew had already gotten out of bed.

At the moment, he was sitting in the dining room to have his breakfast. However, after glancing at the delicious food on the table and smelling the fragrance permeating the living room, she only got herself a glass of water.
