Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

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…”
