Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 521

Chapter 521 He Is Actually Alive

After all, she had heard them calling out to her from beneath, but she was too tired and depressed to say anything as she was overwhelmed by the news of Matthew’s death.

”Please leave. I need some time alone.” All Veronica wanted was to be alone as she was still in agony and didn’t want anyone to be near her. The sobbing and trembling in her voice were heartbreaking for Matthew to hear.

As he heard her cry, his hands couldn’t help but twitch as he stood by the side, wanting to hold her in his arms. Then, he opened his mouth and called her, ”Roni.” His tone was gentle and yearning as he called her by her name.

Veronica stiffened when she heard his voice and was stunned momentarily; she was afraid that it was just her imagination. Then, she turned sharply to look at the person beside her.

They stood there for a long time without moving; both remained silent as they tried to calm the storm of emotions in their heart.

To Veronica, this was the peace she had never had.

Rumble. Suddenly, her stomach growled, destroying the peaceful atmosphere as it echoed in their ears.

”Are you hungry? Let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere to eat.” Matthew had a faint smile on his face. But, she didn’t let go of him and asked, ”Can I ask how you escaped the explosion?”

”If I couldn’t solve such a matter, how would I be able to live until now?” His words meant that he had made countless enemies from the years he was doing business; it was a regular thing for them to plot against him. So if he couldn’t resolve this matter, how would he be able to stand at the top of his game?

”You…” Although she wanted to ask further questions, she had already known a fair amount of it when she was at Crayson’s place, and there was no need to dig deeper for now. So, she decided she could ask the rest of the questions when they returned home. ”Forget it. I’m hungry. Let’s eat first.”

”Okay.”

When the two came down from the tower crane, Thomas had already ordered his men to wait for them with a submarine underneath. After they were successfully taken back to the shore, he drove them back to another villa. The moment Destiny saw that Veronica was safe and sound, she also dismissed her subordinates and returned home.

This was Matthew’s villa. Although it was empty for a long time, servants still cleaned this place. He held Veronica’s hand and guided her to the bedroom on the second floor before closing the door. Finally, he took a good look at her and noticed she was still drenched. Thus, Matthew ruffled her hair as his heart ached at the sight. ”Hurry up, take a bath, or you might catch a cold.”

”Oka—Achoo!” After she sneezed, she shivered and quickly rushed into the bathroom to take a hot shower.

It only took minutes before she was done showering as if she couldn’t wait to sit beside Matthew to talk to him and look at him. There were so many questions she wanted to ask. Nonetheless, once she was finished with her shower, she realized that she didn’t have any clothes to change into! There were only two towels hanging by the side.

Veronica couldn’t help but pout as she wrapped herself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom with flip-flops. Finally, she called Matthew, who was standing by the balcony. ”I didn’t bring any… How did you bathe so quickly?”

Once she stepped out of the bathroom, he entered the room and closed the balcony door behind him as he went. As he walked closer to her, Veronica realized he was in an all-black casual outfit. His wet hair had become dry and fluffy after being blow-dried; he was back to his handsome self.

”I used the bathroom next door.” Matthew smiled. Then, as he focused on the bruises on her face, he gently placed his hand by her cheek and rubbed it softly with his thumb. ”Does it hurt?” he asked.

”It’s fine.” Veronica shook her head. In reality, she wanted to say that it hurt. But she knew that no matter how painful it was, it was nothing compared to the suffering when she learned that he had ‘died’. The agony was so unbearable that it seeped through her bone and whole body. It was more gut-wrenching than death itself.

”Here, I’ll dry your hair.”

He held her hand tenderly and led her to the dressing table. Finally, he took a blow dryer from the drawers and began to blow dry her hair. As she sat by the dressing table, she was quiet as she stared intently at the reflection of Matthew in the mirror without averting her gaze for even a single second.
