Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 94

In this world, there were some things that did not have a rewind button once initiated.

It did not matter whether it was the Larsons who had provoked them first or if it was her own overestimation of herself that led her to retaliate, for it was already too late for her to back out.

Her only worry now was her foster parents.

Failing to understand Veronica's thoughts, Matthew only figured from his own point of view that Veronica's only use for the Larsons now was as a bone marrow donor for Randy.

"I won't let you die."

The words came out of the man's mouth after a long period of silence.

Hearing his words, she was dazed for a short while before smiling. "You really treat Grandma well."

What a filial grandson he was, she thought. Just because she knew how to humor and keep Old Mrs. Kings company, he would ensure that she would stay alive.

Even though Old Mrs. Kings was already at a ripe age, it would still be a long time before she could celebrate her centennial birthday, but she could still accomplish a lot during this period.

Both of them continued to remain inside the tent.

Although they were in an area with slight shelter from the wind, the billowing wind could still be clearly heard as it slammed into the tent mercilessly, making it shake since they were on the mountain top.

Since there was nothing to act as a distraction to pass the time, Veronica felt extremely bored as she kept tossing and turning. However, she just could not fall asleep.

The space inside the tent was not gigantic, so Matthew could detect her every movement.

"Can't sleep?"

The man's gentle yet hoarse voice emerged

from the dark.

"Yup."

Veronica had really struggled to fall asleep.

Ever since from eight o'clock to ten o'clock and ten o'clock to twelve o'clock, she had spent every agonizing second of it tossing and turning around.

"Did you also head to sleep at around four or five in the morning?"

Seeing as both of them were having trouble sleeping, Matthew then struck up a conversation with her instead.

At such a close distance in this cramped space, he could almost smell her body scent.

It was especially so when they shared the same sleeping bag because her hair would sometimes smack his face while emanating the fragrant smell of shampoo.

"No, I used to sleep at around twelve everyday. Then, I would wake up at seven or eight." Recounting the previous situation, she then made a simple deduction, "Maybe it was because I used to deliver goods all day long and it was too exhausting for me."

Even she herself had no idea why she was not having enough sleep nowadays.

Veronica tried to rest while facing the sky before turning to her side to sleep.

However, her habit of pressing her legs against something made her curl her legs and it accidentally whacked Matthew.

At that moment, the corners of her mouth twitched before she immediately retracted her legs. "Haha... That was an accident."

She was really going to be driven mad by all this.

It was uncomfortable for two people to sleep in this small tent.

"Go ahead and get some rest. I'm going outside for a smoke."

As he stood up, Matthew yanked the zipper open before he left the tent.

Veronica instantly stretched her limbs and rolled in the tent to relax her muscles,

which made her feel much better.

Yet, after all the tossing and turning, she was still not drowsy, so she went out of the tent in defeat.

Although it was a bit cold, the windy weather outside was still relatively refreshing.

In a weather like this, mosquitoes would not be around as the wind would blow them away.

When she came out, Veronica saw Matthew on top of a stone with a lit cigarette in his hand.

As she walked over, she took a seat beside him and looked at the stars above. "Whenever that was a power outage when I was a little girl during summer, my mom would fan me as I counted the stars. At that time, the stars were really bright and beautiful. It would be like looking at the Milky Way."

Suddenly, a thought came to Veronica as she spoke. "Hey, Matthew, did you ever climb trees when you were young?"
