Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 466 He Kissed Her

“What is it?” Veronica turned around and glared at him with a displeased look on his face. The man took a few steps forward and grabbed onto her hand before dragging her out. “Follow me. It’s too dangerous here.”

“Why are you dragging me out? Let me go!” Veronica was fuming as she tried to shake him off. However, her tiny hand was no match for his large and muscular arms, so she couldn’t get him to let go at all. “Hey, Matthew. Don’t force me to get violent!” Veronica growled.

Matthew finally let her go after hearing her threat. He turned around and stared at her with his handsome features. “Do you know how dangerous this is? If anything happens to you, I’ll—” He pointed at the mining well.

“Even if anything happens to me, what has that got to do with you? There’s no one else here, Matthew. So, you don’t have to be all pretentious in front of me,” she said. After the ‘inappropriate’ things that happened between Sasha and Matthew, Veronica had always felt resentful toward him. So, she would instinctively argue against whatever he said.

“It does have nothing to me. Nonetheless, if anything bad happens to you, Grandma would hold me responsible.” This was the best excuse he could come up with. “Hah!” Veronica seemed to have expected his response, and she spread her lips into a sarcastic smirk. “Who are you? You’re Grandma’s biological grandchild—she would definitely take your side. How could she possibly lecture you? What a joke,” she hissed.

Veronica’s delicate face was filled with a scathing look, making Matthew feel rather annoyed. After she finished speaking, she turned and walked back into the mining pit. After walking for about 10 yards, she looked ahead to see a pit of water about 90 yards away from her. There were salamanders inside. Out of curiosity, she wished to go over to take a look.

The salamander, scientifically known as the Ambystoma maculatum, was a tailed amphibian from the family of hermaphrodites and the phylum Chordata. Their bodies were large and flat, and they generally had a length of about 23 to 32 inches. They lived in caves, stone caves, and deep pools of streams and rivers at least 0.6 miles above sea level. It was a relatively common creature and belonged to the national second-level protected animals.

to guide the way. They made their way in to find a few salamanders swimming around in the deep pond. Since the salamanders were nationally protected animals, they simply looked at

the amount of control that Matthew needed to stop himself from hugging her at that moment. “Matt—” Veronica was looking at the salamanders, and she let out a cry of excitement when the salamanders made noises. She tilted her head and called for Matthew. Right when she was about to say something, she felt the man pulling her into his arms before pressing his lips against hers. At that moment, a familiar scent of vanilla

kiss was sweet, loving, and gentle. She couldn’t help herself from wanting more of him. Veronica hadn’t come to her senses yet, so she stood still in her spot while allowing him to kiss her. It was the middle of summer, and they were dressed in thin clothes, so she could clearly feel his heaving breaths and
