Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 340 Brought Back by Matthew

“Where am I?” With one hand on her forehead and the other propped on the bed, she sat up.

“Awake?” The familiar voice came from beside her. However, before Veronica could turn her head in the direction of that voice, she was caught in an embrace. As the familiar scent filled her nose, she raised her head to find Matthew who was sitting on the edge of the bed hugging her.

When she saw him, an inexplicable sense of security came over her. With a faint smile, she asked, “How did I end up at your place?” She clearly remembered that she was back home before she slept, yet she found herself here the moment she woke up.

“I see you still have the nerve to ask after that fever you had from drinking too much alcohol alone at home.” Matthew loosened his grip around Veronica before he asked with a slight frown, “What happened?”

That night, after Matthew was done with his work in the office, he tried contacting Veronica but to no avail. He was worried that he would trouble her should he drop by her house. After all, with the news about him all over the internet, there would definitely be paparazzi following him around even after he was off work. If he went to her house, the paparazzi would most likely follow him there as well.

Initially, he thought she had fallen asleep that night. However, he started to worry when he couldn’t reach her the next day. Then, he rushed over to her house to find her in bed with a burning fever.

“A… fever?” Veronica shook her head lightly. “I don’t know. I don’t remember anything. Oh, right. What about you? How are things with you?”

“I’m fine.” Matthew had always solved his problems with logic and rationality. With no care as to how the world would perceive it, he had boldly posted a picture of him kissing Veronica who was dressed as a man without any caption. With that, he washed his hands of the matter and allowed the public opinion to fester.

“Why did you post that picture on Twitter? Aren’t you afraid to be flamed to death?”
