Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Xavier sensed from Veronica‘s doleful expression that something was wrong. Concerned, he asked, “What‘s the matter?”

“Nothing. It‘s just that I ate too much at lunchtime, so I‘m not hungry yet at the moment.” Veronica gave him a perfunctory smile. Then, she pointed at the documents on her desk, saying, “I‘m reading these documents. I‘ll be going home to sleep after a while.”

“Okay. In that case, I‘ll stay here with you. As it happens, I don‘t feel like eating either.” Xavier came and sat down next to her. Darting a look at the documents on her desk, he said, “Is there anything you don‘t understand? I can explain it to you.” He knew that Veronica had something on her mind, but instead of asking her about it, he merely kept her company in silence as she worked late.

After they finished work, Xavier took Veronica to have some late–night snacks and drove her “home.”

Veronica told Xavier she was staying in an alley across from Twilight Club, but after Xavier left, she returned to Matthew‘s Twilight Condominium. At first, she wanted to refuse the man‘s offer to drive her home, but she really couldn‘t resist his raging enthusiasm.

It was pitch–dark inside when she entered the apartment. In the dim light from the outside, Veronica took off her shoes and walked over to the living room sofa wearily. Lying down on the sofa, she closed her eyes without saying a word.

Ring! Just then, her cell phone rang in her pocket. She took out her cell phone, only to see that it was an incoming call from Xavier. “Bro? What‘s the matter?” she asked languidly while resting her head on the sofa‘s armrest.

“Where are you?”

Xavier was standing next to the elevator at the second basement parking lot of Twilight Club. Clutching his cell phone in his hand, he stared hard at the number displayed on the elevator‘s floor indicator–38. The 38th floor was the floor where Matthew resided. Turns out she‘s been living
