Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapier 116

The large movement caused the wound on Veronica‘s arm to start hurting as well.

Seeing her wrinkled face and pained screams, Matthew‘s cold heart melted and he did not reprimand her anymore. Instead, he allowed‘ her to snatch the ring from his hand, clutching it in her hand as if she was protecting a rare treasure.

“Do you… like him a lot?” Matthew hesitated before asking.

Veronica looked up at Matthew, not understanding where this scum got the confidence to dislike Xavier so much.

However, in the end, she currently needed to rely on the power of the Kings Family and had no choice but to spend time with Matthew. Still, she was afraid that Matthew had covetous thoughts about her, so she said, “Yes, I do. Is there a problem?”

“Since when were you a social climber? Are you really desperate enough to like someone like Xavier?” Matthew asked, his brows wrinkling in anger.

Everyone in Bloomstead knew that Xavier was a playboy who had seen countless women and spent his days flirting. This woman had no idea what she was talking about.

“Matthew, you‘re just my god-brother, not my real brother. What does it matter to you who I like? Don‘t think that just because you saved me, you can flaunt your authority over me, say whatever you want, or tell me what to do!” Veronica mocked him with a glare.

She felt dissatisfied. In any case, Xavier was her brother. Even if he was not perfect, he was not as bad as Matthew was making him out to be.

There was a chilly expression on Matthew‘s chiseled and handsome face. He lifted her chin with his long fingers as he leaned down slightly and warned, “As long as you‘re related to Grandma, you are a member of my family. I will never allow you to be with Xavier and bring shame to the Kings Family‘s name.”

“That‘s on you if you don‘t allow it. I‘ll just talk to Grandma later. Hmph.” Veronica brushed away Matthew‘s hand before she lay down on the bed in anger, giving him the cold shoulder.

Not long later, once her IV drip had run dry, Veronica tossed and turned in bed. She couldn‘t sleep, but as she didn‘t have her phone or anything else with her, she was.
