Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 121

Shock, astonishment, panic, anxiety–all that surged within her was a myriad of emotions.

Veronica‘s feelings were a complicated mess.

If Tiffany wasn‘t pregnant with Matthew‘s child, Veronica might still feel just that tiny bit hopeful toward Matthew. She‘d feel that he couldn‘t possibly side with Tiffany. But right now, he was the father of the baby inside Tiffany‘s belly…

Would he be like Tiffany one day and kill her, because he couldn‘t continue to let her have a spot in his life?

A sense of danger washed over Veronica then, making her unable to calm herself. In the face of this startling news, she felt like retreating.

Matthew took in Veronica‘s expression with his dark eyes. It made him lapse into deep thought. Her gaze... Is that sadness, or disappointment?

When they were in Dawnpol Village, Veronica had asked him to watch the moon together with her. She said that she had something to tell him, but she later lied about having a stomachache and ran. After that, Melissa came to ask him if he truly loved Tiffany.

At that time, he thought that Veronica had gotten Melissa to probe his feelings, presumably because Veronica coveted him.

However, Xavier had proposed to Veronica that day at the hospital, and she even accepted his ring. For a moment, Matthew wasn‘t sure if she was capable of switching sides so easily, or if she was simply greedy for money and power.

“A… baby?” Melissa slapped a hand over her mouth as she stared at Tiffany in disbelief. “You‘re pregnant with Matthew‘s baby?”

Melissa felt heartbroken. She loved Matthew so much. Initially, she thought that there was a chance that Matthew and Tiffany might break off their engagement, as they were simply engaged and not married.

The pitiable part was, she was so pitiful that she saw the scrap of “niceness” that Matthew threw her way as being better than it was, to the point that she was greatly moved by it; the laughable part was, he was clearly the fiancé of her nemesis, yet she still felt just that little bit hopeful about
