Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 98

As she had only fancied Melissa‘s ability to give money, she instantly surrendered to Melissa.

“Haha, Veronica, you really are too kind.”

Melissa tilted her head and made a heart shape with her fingers at Veronica‘s direction.

Such a gesture had caused Veronica to feel queasy as it only gave her goosebumps.

After wearing her shoes, she then took a flashlight with her before heading to the house next door. She immediately went to Matthew‘s bedroom after opening the front door. Knocking on the door, she asked, “Matthew?”

Because the villagers had mingled with each other well, they didn‘t close the front door on account of the swarm of outsiders who arrived for the sake of convenience. As such, Veronica merely allowed herself in.

No reply came from the other end.

After waiting for a while, Veronica was going to call for Matthew again when the bedroom door opened.

After a short period of silence, the man agreed and followed her outside.

After walking to the courtyard outside, Matthew stopped and turned around to look

at Veronica. “So, what is it?”

Although it was at the dead of night, the moon cast its bright light to the ground and illuminated everything in a thin veil, barely allowing them to make out each other‘s silhouette.

Suddenly, Veronica held onto her stomach. “Ahhh, my tummy. Ouch, it hurts…”
