Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 465

Chapter 465 He’s Worried

Veronica flung her arm over Larry’s shoulder after he finished speaking. “We know each other too well; I don’t have feelings for you anymore. I prefer the sort of guy who can make my heart thump when I first see him. By the way, you’ve been in the entertainment industry for a while now, so I’m sure you know many handsome guys.

Why don’t you introduce a few to me soon?” She was clearly saying this for Matthew’s ears. Hmph! Does he think I don’t have better options? If he can have Sasha, I can also date other handsome men. It’s all a game! If he wants to play, then I’ll play with him!

Matthew could feel his temples throbbing when he heard Veronica’s words ringing in his ear. However, he had no choice but to hold himself back.

“If you ever guide Roni down the wrong path, I will never forgive you for it,” he said in the end. Since Larry saw Matthew as Veronica’s godbrother, he figured that he would have to speak to Larry with that ‘godbrother’ role in mind.

When Larry heard what Matthew said, he turned around and grinned at Matthew. “I wouldn’t dare to do so. Nevertheless, I can’t stop other men from throwing themselves toward her,” he said. Larry was indeed a good friend—he played along with Veronica by using his words to trigger Matthew.

Veronica gave Larry a look to indicate that he had made a smart move. “Well, of course. I have way too many pursuers coming after me now,” Veronica added. She might have sounded rather conceited, but she didn’t sound like she was exaggerating it.

“Hey, aren’t you guys coming?” The rest of the people were already a distance away, and Skyler soon realized that there were three people who hadn’t caught up with them. So, he waved his arms in the air and told them to hurry. Veronica carried some bags in one hand and rested her other hand on Larry’s shoulder.

“Hurry up, Crazy. I remember how your parents used to host barbeques and how great you were at preparing the food. I’ll have to try some of your cooking today! Hahaha…” Veronica and Larry chit-chatted as they walked, leaving Matthew all to himself.

Matthew, accustomed to being treated like a VIP, couldn’t bear to be left on his own. His face turned hot with rage, and the veins in his arms protruded out of his skin—he was evidently infuriated by the situation.

Hold it in. I have to hold it in! He kept telling himself to calm down, and he eventually walked behind them after he managed to soothe his anger a little. He walked at a quick pace, and he soon caught up with Larry and Veronica.

With about 10 feet between him and the duo, Matthew walked behind them and listened to their conversation. Veronica had an arm around Larry’s shoulder, and they were chatting and laughing as they walked.

This part of the hill was relatively flat, and the grounds were mostly rocky, so there wasn’t a lot of overgrown grass around them. Furthermore, the place was blocked from strong winds, so it wasn’t likely for them to have a fire emergency.

Veronica had done her research online before picking this place. While she was doing her research, she found out that there was a mining cave nearby that the miners had abandoned in the past. In the cave was a mining pit that had salamanders in them.

Since she didn’t have much to do, she figured that she would take a stroll down the hills instead of standing around awkwardly. Their barbeque spot wasn’t far from the depths of the hills, so she only had to walk through the forest for a few minutes before she got there. She followed the instructions on the website and searched around to find the abandoned mining pit.

As she stood around the area, a cool breeze greeted her. The wind was refreshing, especially under the sweltering summer heat. She was just about to walk back when she heard some rustling sounds behind her. When she turned around, she realized that the person standing behind her was… Matthew. “Why did you follow me here?” Veronica wasn’t too pleased to see him there.

Matthew stood a distance away from her with both his hands stuck in his pockets. He maintained his cool demeanor as he spoke. “This is an abandoned mining pit, and it’s probably really deep. It’s dangerous to be here,” he said.

“That’s none of your business.” Veronica let out a scoff. She felt like he was a busybody. Of course, I know that it gets deep inside. How else can the salamanders survive there, right?

I’m a grown-up, so of course, I can take care of myself. Anyway, we’ve already broken up, so why is he faking his care for me? Who is he faking it for?

She turned around and walked carefully over to the cave. Matthew parted his lips as if he were about to say something, but he simply followed behind her when he saw her walking in. “Ah!”

Even though Veronica was wearing flats, there were too many rocks under her feet, so she accidentally tripped a little. She instinctively let out a cry when she nearly fell. But soon after that, she steadied herself before she continued walking.

She was perfectly fine, but Matthew, who was following behind her, felt excessively worried for her. “Stop right there!” he shouted. When he saw her making her way further into the cave, and when he saw how dark it was inside, he worried that an accident might happen there.
