Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470 Sasha’s Pursuer

Ruka was pleased since Veronica agreed to her suggestion. “I should be the one thanking you since you’ve agreed to go to Castron with me. Come on; I’ll buy you a meal.”

They headed to Phil’s Restaurant, where they had their meal in a private room. “You can go ahead with your meal. I need to use the washroom.” Veronica finished her beef wellington, but her stomach felt rather uneasy. I wonder if it’s because I drank cold water last night.

“Sure. Go ahead.” Ruka nodded. Veronica got to her feet and headed out of their room before walking toward the washroom. Right then, she heard the sound of people arguing. “I dare you to touch me again! I’ll… Ah!”

The argument was followed by a scream, along with a banging sound. The person’s voice sounded somewhat familiar to Veronica. She instinctively stopped in her spot as a person’s face popped up in her mind. Sasha! It sounds exactly like her.

“Why don’t you take a look at yourself, Sasha? Do you think anyone other than me would be interested in a psycho like you? Do you think you’re actually a woman now? Well, you don’t have a uterus at all!” A man’s loud and harsh voice filled the air.

“Wu… No… You can’t say that…” she cried. “Hmph! Am I wrong? Do you think Young Master Matthew would be interested in someone like you? You can’t even bear his child!”

…

Veronica stood still in her spot for a long while. She hadn’t intended to eavesdrop, but the person’s words made her contemplate matters for a while.

Tap tap tap… Right then, the sound of footsteps came closer to her. Before she could turn around to see who it was, someone shoved her out of the way. “Step aside.”

The rough push sent her crashing against the wall beside her, and she let out a gasp of pain when her shoulder struck the concrete wall. “How dare you hit Sasha, Adrian?! Do you have a death wish?”

This voice was even more familiar to Veronica. She immediately spun her head over to see the person who had pushed her aside—Skyler. And the guy in the suit behind Skyler is… Matthew? What… is he doing here?

“Wu… You’re finally here, Matt.” Sasha, who had fallen to the ground after being hit, hastily scrambled to her feet before running to Matthew and hugging him.

However, Matthew didn’t allow her to do so—he pushed her aside before lifting his leg to kick Adrian in his chest. Thump! Adrian fell backward and hit the table behind him before collapsing onto the ground. He was so shocked that he couldn’t even stand up properly for a while.

On the other hand, she didn’t want to appear pathetic or helpless in front of Matthew, showing him that she still had feelings for him. There was a battle going on within her—she didn’t want to lose, but she didn’t want to end up in an awkward position, either.

Veronica’s presence made everyone feel surprised and embarrassed at the same time. Veronica felt just as awkward as the rest, but she was used to putting on a show, so she stuck her hands into her pockets before pulling some candy out.

She unwrapped the candy and popped it into her mouth before speaking. “Go on, guys.” Her words were rather muffled as she had candy in her mouth. Regardless, they could still hear what she was saying.

The corner of Skyler’s lips twitched as he stared at the woman outside the room. He was so shocked by her presence that he felt like his jaw was about to drop.

Meanwhile, Matthew didn’t seem to show much emotion on his flawless face. Instead, he slowly turned his head back to give Adrian a disdainful stare. “I want you to turn the other way the next time you see Sasha.

Otherwise, you’ll have to face the consequences.” With that said, Matthew held onto Sasha’s wrist before turning around and leaving. As he brushed past Veronica’s shoulder, he didn’t even bother to gaze at her at all.

Skyler, on the other hand, was still furious at Adrian. He wagged a finger in Adrian’s face as he scolded him. “Sasha belongs to Matthew, you f*cker! I’ll f*ck you up if you ever lay another finger on her! F*ck!”

Once he was done cursing at Adrian, Skyler walked over to Veronica with a grin on his face. “Hey, Roni. We’ll leave now, alright? I’ll buy you a meal soon. You’ll have to get Stephen to come along, alright? It’s a date!” He patted Veronica on the shoulder and chuckled before hurrying off.

Veronica raised an eyebrow before curling her red lips into a smirk. Does he genuinely want to buy me a meal? I bet I’m not the main reason he wants to have a meal with me. Stephen is his idol, after all.

Since the ‘show’ was over, Veronica glanced at the man in the room before leaving. I have to say—this guy is pretty good-looking, she thought.

Adrian was dressed in a vintage-looking outfit. He had a gentle and kind face, yet he seemed to be a rather mean person. In Veronica’s eyes, any man who laid hands on another woman couldn’t possibly be a nice guy. She met gazes with Adrian for a moment before turning to leave. “Are you… Veronica?” The man spoke up all of a sudden.
