Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 100

Matthew didn‘t answer Veronica. He only felt that what she had said just now was full of holes, not least because the Larsons were directly related to her previous kidnapping. He wasn‘t interested in this matter back then, nor did he want to get to the bottom of it, but now… he really wanted to know what had happened.

After a while, Veronica got bored with sitting around, so she returned to the village chief‘s home and lay down in bed to sleep.

Melissa was already asleep. She was probably in a good mood; even in her sleep, she seemed very happy with a smile on her face.

Veronica didn‘t know how long it took before she finally fell asleep. The next day, however, she was woken up by Melissa. “What did you do with Matthew last night? I waited for you at home for such a long time, but you never came back.” Sitting cross legged in bed with her chin in her hands, she stared inquisitively at Veronica, eager to get the answer from her.

“We went to watch the moon,” Veronica muttered with her eyes closed.

“What? You watched the moon with Matthew?” Melissa cried out involuntarily as bitter jealousy surged up within her.

Veronica‘s sleep was scared away at once by her shrill cries. Sitting up in bed, she glared angrily at Melissa, chiding, “Aren‘t you wasting your breath by saying that? You wanted me to help you ask him out, which I did. If I didn‘t make up an excuse to convince him that I really had something to talk to him about, how am I supposed to ask him out again in the future?”

“Oh, you‘re right. Uh, in that case… Why does he indulge your every whim? My brother and the others said he‘s indifferent, cruel, and merciless, but I can‘t help feeling that he‘s treating you very differently.” Melissa spoke her mind right away without reservation.

“Why do you think he‘s nice to me? Because his grandmother likes me and because I‘ll be his sister in the future, that‘s why.” Veronica prodded Melissa‘s forehead hard with her finger. Then, correcting the latter, she said, “Also, you‘re really blind. Which eye of yours sees him indulging my every whim?”

“Ouch! It hurts…” Melissa massaged her forehead, which ached from being prodded. She muttered, “The way I see it, he‘s very nice to you.”
