Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 423 Tiffany’s Dead

Veronica raised her wrist and gazed down at her bracelet; her mood oddly depressed. “It’s very beautiful. I really like it.” She could not help but sigh. In other words, she promised Hendrey that she would not take off the bracelet. However…

There were words which she still kept to herself and remained unspoken. Back then, Hendrey left abruptly without saying any goodbye; seeing that he had paid a visit to bid his farewell this time after reconnecting many years later, it was considered an improvement.

He looked Veronica in the eyes with an ambiguous expression. No matter how much he resisted leaving her, he did not show a hint of that on his face.

“Go on with your work, I… It’s time for me to leave.” He pointed at his wristwatch, indicating that boarding time was approaching and that he would miss the plane if he did not leave now.

“I’ll send you off,” Veronica added with a smile, “I just happened to be done with my work, so I’m free later.”

“Will that be okay?”

“Of course! I’m available anyway.” She smiled again before continuing, “Give me a moment. I’ll get changed.”

Having said that, she entered the dressing room and changed into a new outfit. Before leaving with Hendrey, she said her goodbyes to her boss.

With that, they left the scene in her red car and drove straight to the airport.

Veronica, on the other hand, felt inexplicable regret along the way. “Are you planning on staying in Castron and never returning to Bloomstead?”

Looking ahead, she glanced sideways at Hendrey as she asked.

“I’m… not likely to return.” After responding, he leaned against the passenger seat before taking a deep breath and heaved a silent sigh; it was a sigh filled with countless regrets.

“Veronica, would we still have a chance if I hadn’t left without saying goodbye back then?”

What a surprise. Hendrey actually asked the very question which had been lingering upon him throughout this encounter.

“What made you think about that?” Veronica asked, pursing her red lips. “Matt and I are about to get married.”

It seemed like she was giving him an incongruous answer just to avoid answering his question.
