Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 439 Calculative Conrad

“Well…” Veronica touched her head and thought hard before explaining, “You can’t blame Matthew.” “Who should I blame, then?”

“You should blame m-me.” So, Veronica took all the responsibility on herself and said embarrassingly, “He didn’t think we did not get along. However, when we were dating, I felt a gap between us and our values did not overlap. Moreover, our hobbies are different, and we have no common topic, so we are out of sync.”

Although the affair between Matthew and Sasha made Veronica sick, Matthew had saved Veronica numerous times. Although Veronica still couldn’t understand why Matthew saved her, she was grateful.

“Besides, I don’t want to get into a relationship now. I am doing good in the company and working hard to further my career. My career is getting better.” Veronica gave an excuse that even she herself thought was flimsy.

“You—” Elizabeth frowned and looked at Veronica with doubt as she didn’t believe it. “What is this? Are you trying to use a flimsy reason to shut me up?”

Elizabeth was furious, so she gave Veronica another slap on her head. “Both of you are liars!”

“Ouch!” After receiving a slap, Veronica shrank back and chuckled guiltily. “Please don’t be angry, Grandma. You can’t force a relationship. Besides, although I am not with Matthew, I still love you. Could it be that you don’t love me anymore because of this?”

She put her arms around Elizabeth and leaned on Elizabeth’s shoulder, acting like a spoiled child. “Y-You! Jeez, the both of you are making me angry!” Elizabeth slapped her own thigh angrily.

Veronica raised her head and rested her chin on Elizabeth’s shoulder. Tilting her head, she said playfully, “Grandma, please don’t get involved in my relationship. Although I broke up with Matthew, we are still friends.”

Matthew saw the warm scene behind him through the rearview mirror, but he felt uncomfortable by Veronica’s words.

He nodded cooperatively. “Yes. We’re still friends.”

“Hmph! You guys are hopeless.”

Seeing that they wouldn’t spill out their secrets despite asking them, Elizabeth snorted and didn’t speak anymore.
