Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 427 Sashaâs Back On the phone, Yvonne would not stop crying and Veronica was trying her best to calm her down. âDonât worry about it. Itâs alright. Iâll go to your place right now.â She hung up and looked at the time. 2.00PMâ¦
Peak hour. No wonder the ambulance is stuck in traffic. âMatthew? Matthew?â Seeing that he was not in the living room, she went to his study instead.
âMatthew, are youââ She thought he would be in his study, but it was empty. âWhere is he?â She heaved a sigh and called Matthew. Headed to the porch, she changed into her shoes and left the house. The moment she entered the elevator, the call went through and she could finally get hold of him.
âOh, youâre awake,â said Matthew.
âWhere are you?â she asked. Just as she was about to hear his answer, she lost all signal when she went into the elevator. As such, she came to the parking lot on the second floor of the basement and headed toward Matthewâs parking spot.
At that moment, she saw him near his parking spot and a drop dead beauty with long, curly hair and short crimson skirt was standing before him. Who is she? She was about to go ahead and meet up with him, but then that mysterious woman suddenly hugged Matthew.
âItâs been a while, Matt. I miss you.â Sasha held him tightly then let him go, only to punch him in the chest. âYouâre such a blockhead. You could have called. You canât expect me to do all the work.â
âYouâre a woman. I donât see the point in calling you.â Matthew frowned with impatience clearly flashing in his eyes. âWhat do you want?â
âYouâre still the same blockhead I used to know.â She thumped his chest again. âYou canât talk to a lady like that. I came to see you because I wanna.â She stomped her foot and her face red with embarrassment.
âCan you stop talking like an anime girl?â Matthew was starting to get really impatient now. He hated it when Sasha spoke like this.
âThatâs just how I talk. Hmph!â She snorted and approached him again. This time, she held his arm. âI donât care. I donât get to see you every day. Youâre spending the day with me and I demand a welcoming banquet too,â she said imperiously, refusing to give him any space to negotiate.
The man froze up and shot her an icy glare. âHold my arm like that again and Iâll bust up your fake boobs.â
Still, Sasha was not even mad about the threat. Instead, she was amused and she puffed her chest out, showing off her cleavage. âImpressive, arenât they? I spent a ton of money on them. Bust them up and youâre paying for the replacement.â
âHow about I pay for the coffin Iâll put you in?â
âHey, you canât justâ¦â She could not argue anymore and flung his arm away. âYouâre so cruel, Matt.
Youâd toss your old flame behind just because you got a new girl? Youâre a jerk.â
âAre you talking about me?â The woman who was standing afar could not take it anymore. They were getting too close for comfort. Her comfort. As such, Veronica finally approached them.
If this had happened back then, the old Veronica would have flown into a rage if she saw Matthew flirting with another woman, but after everything they went through, she knew he would not betray her;
she trusted him.
âOh, you really didnât have to come down, Veronica.â Matthew flung Sasha away and approached his woman.
Veronica looked at him for a moment and turned her gaze to this impossibly sexy woman. âIs this your friend, Matthew? Care to do the intro?â
Just as Sasha was appraising Veronica, she approached her and extended her hand. âHi, Iâm Sasha.
You must be Veronica.â
She was standing too far away to see this woman clearly earlier, but now she realized who the woman was. She was the same one who video-called Skyler at Westcross and hugged Matthew. Why is she here?
âThatâs a nice name.â Veronica generously shook her hand. âAre you Matthewâs friend?â
âYes.â Matthew was standing beside Veronica with one arm around her shoulder as he nodded.
âWe used to sleep together. Weâre more than friends.â
âCan you shut the f*ck up?â Matthew shot Sasha a freezing glare. If looks could kill, she would be dead at this point.
âWhy should I? Iâm not lying. We used to sleep on the same bed. I wet the bed once and you kicked me out of it. My mom told me about it all the time.â Sasha was bringing up the past earnestly. She had a serious and innocent look on her face as if she really thought of him as a friend and nothing more.
Is she Matthewâs female friend? Veronica was not sure, but she could not ask as that would be too rude. âYou sure are a good friend.â She smiled. âI have something to do. Gotta go now. You guys have fun.â
Veronica did not mean anything by that, but Matthew had assumed she was angry. As such, he held her hand and asked, âWhere are you going?â
âYvonne said sheâs bleeding. Sheâs literally bawling on the phone earlier. I need to see her right now.â
âIâll go with you.â
âYouâre a guy. You canât help me.â Veronica refused. Then, she looked at Sasha and smiled. âItâs not every day you get to see a friend. You should show her around town. Iâll call later.â
âIââ Matthew was about to refuse when Sasha nodded quickly. âSure thing, Miss Murphy.â A smile curled her lips, but there was no delight in her eyes. She was still appraising Veronica and wondering why Matthew was so crazy about her. There must be something different about her.
Meeting her gaze, Veronica could sense the enmity in Sashaâs eyes and it was a familiar look. It was like Sasha was looking at someone who took the guy she liked away from her. Yeah. She likes him, but this is not the time to dwell on crushes. âYou guys have fun. Iâll be going now. Bye.â She waved her hand at the woman while swaying her car key around. Before she left, she held Matthewâs neck and pushed him down. She then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lip, telling Sasha that Matthew was her boyfriend, not anyone elseâs.
Caught off guard by that, Matthew realized that Veronica was jealous of Sasha and that fact alone delighted him.
She cocked her eyebrow and smiled, then entered her car and revved it up. Just a moment later, the car was already out of sight.
With that, Sasha and Matthew saw her off. A moment later, she broke the silence and clicked her tongue. âHmph⦠Marking her territory, I see.â
