Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 128

Veronica shot Yvonne a glare with frosty eyes before snatching the wine bottle back from her. “What a busybody! Can‘t I drink when I‘m in a good mood?”

“You‘re in a good mood?” Yvonne looked dumbfounded. Which part of her looks like she‘s in a good mood?

“Yeah, I‘m in a good mood. My brother is marrying his fiancée very soon, so I‘m happy. Do you wanna have a couple of drinks with me to celebrate it in advance? Oh, right, Yvonne, let me tell you this: we can ask Matthew for a huge present when he marries Tiffany! Haha…” She guffawed without restraint while holding up the wine bottle again before gulping several mouthfuls of wine, filling her stomach with liquor continuously as if she was drinking water.

Yvonne was stunned by Veronica‘s behavior. “A–Are you really happy?” Why does it seem to me that she‘s heartbroken?

“Yeah, I‘m happy. I‘m happy.” Veronica nodded vigorously while plonking the emptied bottle of red wine on the table. After giving a belch, she stood up and walked over to the bar counter. “Matthew… no, my brother‘s rich. All the wine on his bar counter is good wine, so it‘ll be a shame not to drink them. I want to drink more of them.”

Walking over to the bar counter, she looked at the bottles of good wine placed on the wine rack, looking specifically for some vintage wine to drink. Even though those wines were flavorful, they were very old, and it would be harmful to her health if she drank them without decanting them first. After finding two bottles of wine on the wine rack, she shot a glance at Yvonne and shook her head. “You‘re bad at drinking. Just go to sleep. I want to drink with him,” she said while handing a bottle of red wine to Matthew. “Come on! We‘ve got to get drunk in order to celebrate your becoming a father. But let me say this in advance: you have to give me a huge present when you get married.”

Matthew stared fixedly at Veronica. The last time she recklessly got drunk like this was the day she was rescued from abroad. Only a month had passed since then.

Knowing Matthew‘s relationship with Veronica, Yvonne couldn‘t say anything else. She only said to Matthew, “I‘m going to sleep. Just stop her from drinking too much.”

“Uh–huh,” Matthew replied.

With that, Yvonne went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Why talk so much nonsense while drinking?” Holding the wine bottle in her hand, she continued drinking on her own. It didn‘t take long before she finished the bottle of wine in her hand, but her little face fell when she noticed that Matthew‘s wine bottle was untouched. “Never mind if you don‘t want to drink with me. I‘ll drink with Xavier instead.” She put down her wine bottle and stood up

At first, he thought that drinking some wine would help her fall asleep, but the tipsy woman had no intention of going to sleep at all. If she kept on drinking, she might suffer from alcohol intoxication, which would be harmful to her health. He snatched away the wine bottle in her hand, saying, “Let‘s stop drinking.
