Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342 The Despicable and Shameless Xavier

Yvonne was being toyed around in the palm of Conrad’s hand, but she didn’t even know it. When should Veronica tell her?

“Yvonne, let’s eat lunch together.” Veronica decided to tell Yvonne the truth, hoping that she would believe her. If she didn’t, there was no helping it either.

“Sure, I have something to tell you too. Let’s go to Phil’s Restaurant. I’ll book a private room there.”

“All right.”

After hanging up, Veronica contacted the private investigator again to ask for information on Xavier. She knew very well that Matthew started retaliating against him because he was despicable and shameless, so she had no reason to stop him, and she didn’t want to either. In fact, after knowing that Matthew had made his move, she felt a trace of pleasure and emotion in her heart as though she was being cared for.

That noon, at Phil’s Restaurant, Veronica waited in the private room they had reserved before Yvonne quickly arrived. However, there were two others following behind her—Xavier and Conrad!

Upon seeing their arrival, she frowned subconsciously before she relaxed and greeted them with a hypocritical smile on her face. “You’re here? Yvonne, why did you bring them over without saying anything? I only ordered enough for the two of us.”

This woman… Is she an idiot?

“Roni, are you saying that I’m not welcome?” Xavier stood by the door with one hand behind his back and an evil smile on his lips.

“Of course not. I just wanted to order the food with all of you together,” Veronica replied.

Yvonne smiled mysteriously and pulled Conrad to stand by the side. Then, Xavier walked inside and headed straight for Veronica before he suddenly ‘conjured’ a bouquet of flowers from behind his back. Getting down on one knee as he held a ring box in one hand, he asked, “Roni, will you be my girlfriend?”

Speechless, Veronica couldn’t help but jolt in surprise as her smile slipped off her face. She lifted her head and looked at Yvonne and Conrad by the side. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then shifted their gazes back to Veronica.

Yvonne smiled cheekily and said, “Veronica, you have to agree.”

“Veronica, Xavier is a fine man.” Saying that, Conrad grabbed Yvonne’s hand. “Let’s go first and give them some space.”

“But I want to watch.”

“Watch what? Be obedient.” Conrad tugged on Yvonne’s hand and dragged her out.

Yvonne stumbled out with him, not forgetting to make an encouraging gesture to Veronica with a cheerful smile, as though she wished that Veronica could quickly agree to be with Xavier. Soon, the door closed.

Just then, Xavier spoke again. “Roni, I’ve liked you ever since I met you, and my feelings for you have never changed. Can you agree to be my woman? I’ll definitely protect you and treat you well.”

“From your words, if I really were adorable, would you like me?” Veronica felt ironic.

“Not necessarily.” Xavier propped his elbows on the table and supported his chin as he looked directly at her and said, “Of course it’s true that I like you. Otherwise, why would I want to propose to you?”

For the first time, Veronica felt as though someone was doing her a favor by liking her, and it disgusted her.

“What did you do to me in the hotel that night?” She didn’t bother answering, but asked a question of her own instead. Her exquisite face with porcelain-like skin showed hints of chilliness as she awaited his answer in silence.

“If you like someone, what else will you do? Do the business, of course!” He sneered, “You know, I had no choice. This is the magic of love. Do you know that every time I look at Tiffany when she’s under me, I think of her as you? Tsk tsk… You two sisters really do look alike. Still, the debauched look Tiffany gives me when she’s in bed really makes me burn up.”

Saying that, Xavier shrugged. “But she isn’t you. After I’m done, she’ll still leave me with a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction. So, Roni, will you be my woman? I will definitely spoil you and love you. No matter what you want, I will…”

Splash! Before he could finish speaking, Veronica stood up abruptly and splashed the freshly poured glass of red wine on his face before she slammed the glass on the table heavily.

“Xavier Crawford, you are so shameless!” Veronica was furious, and her hand holding the glass trembled with anger. After cursing angrily, she suddenly felt a little dizzy while standing. Her body wobbled as her hands subconsciously held onto the table, while the glass on the table fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Veronica held her forehead with her other hand and looked at the calm and composed man opposite her. “Xavier, what… did you do to me?”
