Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 86

As Xavier leaned back against the executive chair, he stared at her with an unfathomable gaze. “You can arrange it that way too since I‘ve been quite busy lately. However, don‘t worry about your parents. Leave them to me; I‘ll ensure their safety.”

The charity event this time was organized by the local government of Bloomstead, so all the major companies had to send representatives to the event.

This time, Xavier‘s father, Hendric, would be joining the event as well.

As Hendric had always disliked Veronica, Xavier intentionally sent her to Almeida to allow Hendric to get to know her better.

Xavier‘s intention was to let Hendric know that Veronica was not a simple, naïve girl, as he really wanted Hendric to accept her. Hence, Xavier had been cracking his head over this issue.

Xavier was fully aware that if he were to tell Hendric that he would be going to Almeida together with Veronica, his father would only think that they were merely putting on a show.

“Okay, I believe you. How long do I need to be there, though? When am I departing?”

“You will be departing on the day after tomorrow, but you will be there for two weeks this time.”

As Xavier spoke, he stared unblinkingly at her and added, “I can find someone else if you don‘t want to go.”

Two weeks would be sufficient for Hendric to take a proper measure of Veronica‘s personality

Based on Xavier‘s understanding about Hendric, the latter would definitely keep an eye on Veronica if he knew that she would show up.

After observing her for two weeks, Hendric would certainly accept Veronica due to her kind and hardworking character.

When the time came, Xavier would confess his feelings to her when she returned.

“I can do it. No worries.” Veronica agreed without hesitation because Xavier had helped her on many occasions, so she wished to at least return his favor by giving

him a hand in the charity event this time, not to mention the fact that she loved charity events.
