Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 27

Her response impressed Xavier very much

Holding the takeaway box in his hand, he watched Veronica intently with a deep look in his eyes. In that moment, he could feel her dismay as well as the strength in her heart, and there was even a split second when he saw himself in her because they were simply too alike.

“Alright, Roni. Let’s go in.” As Xavier already didn’t like Tiffany from before, this matter now only deepened his dislike for her as he felt that she was a hypocrite.

He reached out, took Veronica’s hand, and pulled her toward himself before placing his arm around her shoulders.

“Right, she’s a friend,my girlfriend!”

As a man, Xavier had acutely sensed the hostility Matthew had for himself, especially from his eyes, which were fixed on Veronica.

When he recalled what happened that day at Twilight Club, an idea flashed across his mind, but he felt that it was very ridiculous.

“I just forgot to introduce her to everyone.”

In order to protect her, he was even willing to admit that she was his girlfriend. She was ‘ugly, yet he was still protecting her despite everyone’s sarcasm.
