Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 140

Veronica wasn‘t stupid. After leaving Bloomstead, getting in contact with Matthew was the last thing she would have wanted to do.

Xavier couldn‘t help but feel a sense of sadness after hearing Veronica‘s words. “Why do you have to humble yourself so much just because you love him?” he solemnly asked.

For a moment there, she couldn‘t understand where he was coming from. “Huh? Humble myself so much just because–” His sudden words made her wonder for a bit before she was hit by realization–she had usedliking Matthew as her reason for

rejecting Xavier‘s advances.

Xavier must have been making up scenarios in his head, she thought.

Veronica then quickly nodded her head in agreement and chuckled. “That‘s right. But I did not humble myself just for him. It‘s more like I have an unrequited love for him.”

Her liking a scumbag like Matthew?

Never in a million years.

Hearing Veronica‘s reply, Xavier let out a small smile. At that moment, he had a forlorn expression on his handsome face as he knowingly stared at her. He then reached out toward the crown of her head and gave a long sigh while gently caressing her black locks. “It is those who are in an unrequited love that has to humble themselves the most.”

As Veronica did not want to put much thought into what he had just said, she merely shrugged and let out a scornful laugh. “Well, all these kinds of things aren‘t important as they‘ll slowly fade away as time passes. Oh, by the way…” she suddenly exclaimed. “I faced a problem at work and am in need of your guidance. I noticed something in the event proposal I saw today. It‘s about the products…”

After busying themselves with work at Konig Company, Veronica and Xavier left to have a simple dinner together before heading to Twilight Club.

Meanwhile, things weren‘t looking so great for Matthew at the Kings Residence as he stoically stood in the living room. He was silent in the face of Elizabeth, who had a serious look on her face.

Elizabeth was infuriated as she loudly banged the table. “You were the one who wanted to be betrothed to Tiffy in the first place, but now you are requesting to cancel the engagement? What the hell are you thinking?!” she fumed.

“I didn‘t say that I want to cancel the engagement. I just want to have it postponed. That is all.”
