Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 842

Although Xavier once did Veronica wrong, she couldn't deny his efforts to make up to her. Therefore, the feelings she had for Xavier were a mix of positive and negative emotions. As much as she was wary of Xavier, she felt somewhat safe around him.

In the meantime, Matthew noticed the painful emotion on Veronica's face and looked back at Xavier. "Thanks for saving Roni." As a man with principles, he was grateful for Xavier's heroic action of rescuing Veronica despite their bitter history.

"Take her with you and get out of my face! Now!" Xavier gritted his teeth while bearing the pain that was tormenting him on the inside.

"Who do you think you are? Why should we—"

"Shut up!"

Unhappy with Xavier's attitude, Skyler talked back, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Matthew, who cut him short harshly. The next moment, Matthew carried Veronica in his arms and headed outside.

Meanwhile, Veronica, who found herself in Matthew's arms, couldn't take her eyes off Xavier, feeling a pang of guilt and pain like a blade that was plunged through her chest. On the other hand, Xavier only walked closer to the window and lit up a cigarette before puffing at it, his eyes filled with indifference. At the same time, Veronica couldn't help but feel sympathetic for the man when she saw his silhouette.
