Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 172

Because Veronica was holding her phone in her left hand Matthew overheard Daniella’s voice when the former moved her phone aside

“Xavier truly likes you and he treats you well too. But look at you-you’re his girlfriend and yet, you never show more care toward him. If you continue being like this, others will gossip about you when you guys get married in the future. Roni, Xavier is a good man. Since both of you love each other, you should cherish the relationship you have with him. Your dad and I thought you’re not that young anymore, so we plan to head to Bloomstead to meet Xavier soon to discuss your marriage situation and see if we can set a date for your wedd”

Hearing that, Veronica immediately pressed the phone beside her ear and said, “Mom, hold on. What nonsense are you talking about? I’m still young!”

She was almost driven crazy.

From the very beginning, Xavier and her were merely putting on an act, but when it came to Daniella, she actually started mentioning marriage.

While chatting with Daniella, Veronica did not realize the cold and frosty face of the man sitting next to her.

Both of them love each other? Time to discuss their wedding?

At that moment, Matthew’s grip on the steering wheel tightened instinctively as he felt a tightness in his chest, which made him even more frustrated.

“Hey, Mom. Please stop talking about this and quickly go eat the cake with Dad. I still have some matters to attend to, so I’m hanging up first. Bye.”

With that, Veronica hung up directly.

“Phew…”

Heaving a sigh of relief, Veronica suddenly felt that she can’t keep bluffing her adoptive parents like that. So, she planned to think of a way to set them straight about the situation lest they would go and find Xavier sooner or later to discuss their marriage.

True enough, to hide a lie, a thousand lies were needed.

After keeping away her phone, Veronica looked at Matthew, who was driving and ‘couldn’t help mumbling, “Why do all of your birthdays have to be so near to each

other? You even have the same birthday as my dad.”

Wearing a gloomy look, Matthew remained silent and ignored Veronica.
