Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 513 Released by Antheena

Inside the castle, Veronica lay in bed and tried to take a rest, but her mind was occupied by the events that unfolded recently. At the same time, she was trying to figure out Matthew’s abduction. She had a niggling sense that there was something wrong, but she could not figure out the exact issue.

What was it that was so important to Matthew to the point that he was willing to sacrifice one of his closest aides just to continue carrying out the matter? Veronica thought hard, but she could not seem to get to the bottom. Finally, she decided to approach Hendrey.

That was also why she did not shrug off his hand when he took her to the cellar. Perhaps the only way to figure out what was going on was to get to know Hendrey better.

In the afternoon, the servants served her meal into her room. For the rest of the afternoon, Veronica did not leave her room at all and she spent the entire time daydreaming. Suddenly, she could see from the balcony that Hendrey, Xavier, and Antheena were at the grassy patch of the backyard.

She looked on from afar and noticed that they were happily chit-chatting with each other in great spirits. As for her, she was a caged bird as she remained in her room. At night, dinner was similarly served by the servants to her room and she ate it regardless.

Night fell and once again, Xavier slipped into her bedroom at midnight like a phantom.

He did not utter a single word, but stood by her bedside and remained in the same position for a long time.

Had Veronica not sensed that the other party was Xavier, she would have thought that it was a spirit standing by her bedside.

Suddenly, she smelled a sweet scent and was instantly on guard as she caught a whiff of that. That smell of incense would cause one to fall unconscious. Immediately, she held her breath and concentrated on the surroundings. She turned to the other side and conveniently pulled her blanket closer to cover her mouth and nostrils. Luckily, she did this so naturally that it looked like a person shifting position in her dreams.

After Xavier was finally sure that Veronica was fully unconscious, he moved closer and furtively lay right next to her as the soft bed sagged slightly from his weight.

She was not sure what Xavier was going to do, but she did not dare to maintain her stiff posture to remain on guard.
