Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 328 Elizabeth’s Fury

“Uh…” Veronica was at a loss for words. Placing her elbow on the car window to support her head, she pondered for a moment before letting out a sigh. “That’s right. How can we explain it now that there are videos of us on the internet?” As she turned to look at Matthew, she couldn’t help feeling somewhat guilty. “Well, um… I-I’m sorry. I got ahead of myself.”

If she hadn’t gotten all emotional and kissed him after meeting Ruka, these things wouldn’t have happened. And now, everyone knew what had happened.

She had put on a disguise in the first place, so no one would know that it was her. However, Matthew was different. As the figure at the top of the social pyramid, he was constantly in the public spotlight. Now that he was caught up in a ‘gay’ scandal, he’d probably have to face a lot of trouble in the future.

At the thought of this, she felt even more guilty. Had she known that this would happen, she would’ve dressed up as a gorgeous seductress instead. Even if they got photographed, Matthew would only be exposed for having a new lover. His life wouldn’t have been affected and bedeviled as much as it was right now.

Matthew turned to glance at her. “What are you thinking about, you silly girl?” Seeing her face droop in dejection, he patted her head with his hand. Then, he added affectionately, “How am I gonna protect you in the future if I can’t even hold out against this?” Whenever he thought of everything Veronica would be facing alongside him in the future, he felt that these things were nothing to be afraid of.

Veronica couldn’t help being moved by his casual reply, which was totally beyond her expectations. She even felt that he was willing to take on responsibility.

Even if her tomfoolery had gotten him into trouble, he didn’t mind it at all, nor did he intend to take it out on her. “But… this isn’t some trifling matter. And besides, Grandma and others will definitely roast you for this. Can you really accept that?” Having been scrutinized by outsiders as a victim of malicious gossip, she knew how painful and suffocating it was to be the object of gossip.

“Ha!” Matthew looked straight ahead as a faint smile appeared on his good-looking face. The next instant, however, his smile faded slightly, and he fell silent.

Even by looking at the side of his face, Veronica could sense that he was in distress for a brief moment. It was as though he wouldn’t take what was happening now to heart because he had gone through difficulties and tribulations that were even more unacceptable than the present ones. What has happened to him before? she wondered.

After a long time, Matthew finally came to his senses. Turning to glance at the woman beside him, he comforted her, saying, “Don’t overthink it. These things can’t affect me.”
