Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 173

“It’s my pleasure to have the same birthday as your father so it would be much livelier if we celebrated our birthdays together.”

“But it would be too late even if we go back now.”

“It’s not too late. It would take us about forty-five minutes to get there,” Matthew voiced out and then he took out his phone to send a text message to Thomas.

“Forty-five minutes?”

It was fair to say that Veronica had taken Matthew’s words seriously earlier on but right now, she felt that he must be pulling her leg. She leaned back against the front passenger seat and wordlessly finished off the leftover cake that Matthew couldn’t finish, the whole time wondering what he was trying to do.

Five minutes later, the car arrived at a large, open space and there was already a helicopter waiting there. After Matthew got out of the car, Veronica followed suit and trailed after him. They then boarded the helicopter and just then, she had an incredulous look on her face.

She finally came to her senses after the door to the helicopter was slammed shut and she heard the whirring sound of the propellers. At that point, she realized that he was actually going to send her home, and it was by the means of a helicopter too!

“Are you actually sending me home?”

At that, Matthew pursed his lips but didn’t answer her question. Despite that, Veronica was quite sure that he wasn’t lying, so she instantly texted her adopted parents respectively. ‘Wait for me. I’ll be home in about half an hour.’

After she had sent off the text message, she received a phone call from her adopted parents in no time. Due to the loud noise in the helicopter, Veronica didn’t answer the phone but instead, she communicated with them via text message throughout the entire journey.

As such, she was lost in her happy thoughts and she leaned by the window to look outside, a smile on her ruby-red lips. She was clearly in good spirits. Suddenly, she came to the conclusion that Matthew wasn’t such a mean person after all.

Thirty minutes later, the helicopter arrived at Cabot Town and landed in South Court, which was the basketball court in town. Subsequently, Veronica and Matthew

got out of the helicopter. As soon as they walked out of the basketball court, the helicopter departed as well.

Meanwhile, Veronica kept her eyes on the helicopter that slowly disappeared into the distance and she couldn’t help asking as she reached out to tidy up her hair, which was all messed up from the wind, “How did you know where I lived?”
