Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 843 Leave Xavier Alone

“I’m a human being made of flesh and bones. I have feelings just like any other normal human being. Do you know that? But why won’t you forget about Veronica even after all the things I did for you? I never turned my back on you, after all! Do you know how scared I was when Matthew died? When he was said to be dead, I was scared that you’d return to Veronica because you thought there was still hope. I’m sorry, Sebastian.

I’m so sorry… I just love you too much!” As the daughter of the Black Ace Mob’s leader, Antheena was treated like a princess, as she was the apple of everyone’s eye. Nonetheless, out of all the people she could have settled down with, she chose Xavier and was forgiving enough to accept his past.

Then, he leaned forward and stubbed the cigarette in the ashtray, whereupon he turned around and pinned Antheena on the couch, kissing her lips. In response to the man’s intimate advance, Antheena was still caught in a trance, unable to react to his unexpected reaction.
