Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 544 Attacked by an Ex-girlfriend

“You’re back.” Matthew got up and walked toward Veronica with a gentle smile. His expression was indifferent, as if he didn’t know Veronica was lying. Then, he smoothly took the bags from her hand. “That’s a lot of stuff. Is there a gift for me?”

“I’m so sorry for forgetting about you. Should we go shopping tomorrow? I can pick a few clothes for you.” Veronica wisely changed the subject. Matthew gave her a meaningful look. His pupils were dark and unclear, making it impossible to fathom what he was thinking.

It was hard to imagine the cruel man everyone talked about would be so considerate. Veronica couldn’t help but think of the poem. In me, the tiger sniffs the rose.
