Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 539 Treachery

Yvonne felt touched, knowing that Veronica had done everything for her sake. The two of them sat in the living room and chatted for a bit, but Yvonne was out of it. When she noticed that it was already close to eight, her eyes lit up as she thought of a plan. “Roni, I won’t ask you to stay the night here since I want to sleep with the baby. I’m afraid that… the baby will disturb you.”

Looking at the warm scene of Yvonne doting her baby, Veronica felt slightly envious. “Alright, then you should have some rest. I’ll be back tomorrow morning.” She knew that Yvonne wanted to spend some time alone with the child as she hadn’t seen the child for some time, so she didn’t want to disturb the mother-son bonding time. Thus, after a few more pleasantries, she left the villa.

As there were many mercenaries stationed for the villa’s protection, there shouldn’t be any problems as long as Yvonne stayed put. Not to mention, it would only be one night before she flew back to Castron. Even if Conrad is fast in gathering information, news of the child returning to Yvonne wouldn’t reach his ears that fast, she thought.

Nonetheless, Veronica felt a vague sense of uneasiness. So, instead of going to Matthew, she decided to first stop by Vincere Games. Since she would be away from Bloomstead for a long time to undertake the Devil’s training, she needed to take care of the company’s affairs before leaving.

Fortunately, she had a good relationship with the partners of the company. Thus, she only needed to explain to them that she would be out of contact for some time as she would be undergoing special training in Castron and that she would arrange for someone to take care of the company’s affairs in her place. As the partners made no objections, she left after spending close to two hours in the company.

When Veronica came back to Twilight Condominium, she found Matthew in the living room. Sitting on the couch while working on his laptop, he looked as though he was waiting for her return.

“Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” Veronica asked while she changed into her indoor shoes. Then, she walked over to Matthew and wrapped her arms around his neck before she kissed him on the cheek.

Closing his laptop and setting it aside on the table, the man then looped his left arm around Veronica’s waist. “I was waiting for you.”

Although he still felt pain in his injuries whenever he moved, it was still within the range of his tolerance. After he walked up to her, he fixed his gaze on the child in her arms while paying extra attention to the birthmark behind the child’s ear. Looks like the irregular birthmark of the size of a small thumb is indeed present, he thought to
