Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 596 Mortal Enemies

Xavier was very confused about Veronica being here early in the morning. “I should be asking you the same question,” she said.

“What’s there to ask? What else is there for men, save for drinking and having fun with women?” He shrugged, acting all nonchalant about it. “Leave. I’ll pretend I never saw you.”

It was a sincere invitation, but after that, Xavier added, “I just want to treat you to breakfast. No matter how many grudges I hold against Matthew, I won’t hurt you.”
