Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 177

“You…” At this moment, Tony put his cutlery down on the table with a slam. “What are you talking about?!”

“But if you don’t like Xavier, why did you rush back to Bloomstead yesterday?” Daniella was somewhat disbelieving of Veronica’s words.

Hence, Veronica could only explain, “I rushed back to Bloomstead yesterday because Elizabeth is my god-grandmother. She wanted me to be in charge of Matthew’s wedding plans with his fiancée and when we hit a snag, I had to rush back. I lied because I was afraid I would worry you both.”

Even if this was also a lie, Veronica was secretly vexed with herself for not having thought of this excuse the previous day.

Sitting nearby, Matthew stared at her in stunned silence as her words echoed through his brain.

She said. She doesn‘t like Xavier. All of it is just an act!An act...

“You brat! Leave it to you to get up to such nonsense because your father and I spoiled you!” Furious, Daniella threw down her cutlery and stood up, stalking back to her room and slamming the door shut after her.

“Look how angry you made your mother!” Tony shook his head before continuing in a lower voice, “Let’s drop it. Eat your breakfast and once you’re done, you should leave. Your mom will stop being angry at you in a few days.”

Upset and feeling utterly guilty, Veronica hung her head like a child who had done something wrong. “I’m sorry, Dad. I’ve let you both down.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. You should eat and leave. I’m going to see your mom.” With a wave of his hand, he followed Daniella into the bedroom.

Just like that, Veronica lost her appetite. Glaring coldly and menacingly at Matthew, she kicked his leg viciously before snapping, “What are you looking at? I bet you’re happy now, you jerk!”

Feeling like he had just been on a rollercoaster, Matthew bit back a yelp of pain before getting up and following her out of the house.

After they got into the car, they left.

On the way back, Veronica stayed silent.

Meanwhile, he was still thinking about what she said.
