Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 565 Matthew Is Beaten Matthew rose to his feet and sat by the bed. He rested Veronica on his shoulder while hugging her. âAll you have to do is to stand behind me, and let me protect you. Of course, my Roni is smart. We can devise strategies and bear the burden together.â
He twirled the strands of hair that flowed down on her shoulder. âZac is returning to Bloomstead in a few days, and there will be another storm to deal with. If youâre scared, you can choose to run away.
Although I hope youâll be my adviser, I do understand if you decide to escape.â
He said the exact opposite as he attempted to persuade her to reconsider her decision.
âI will never run away!â She was leaning on his shoulder when she abruptly straightened up and turned to face him. âYouâre the father of my babies. How can I run away right now? Thatâsââ
Veronica paused midway as she thought of something, then froze with her lips pursed in silence.
âWhat made you stop?â Matthew smiled as he stroked her cheek. âIf Iâm in trouble, you will never abandon me. So, do you think Iâll just watch when itâs your turn?â
âButââ He shook his head lightly to prevent her from saying anything further.
âRoni, you know me very well. I will not back down after I make up my mind.â Matthew softly touched her collarbone. âYouâre mine. If I canât even promise your safety⦠I will live the rest of my life with an empty soul.â
Yes, thatâs right. Iâm at the top of my game and used to win at everything; Iâll never lose again. It will be a huge setback if I fail to protect my wife. I am right about what I say.
Veronica finally understood what he meant.
âOkay, weâll register our marriage.â She nodded seriously and gripped his hand tightly before she placed it on her belly. âFrom now on⦠We are a family of four.â
She was enjoying the moment. She could not help but imagine how happy they would be after the babies were born. It would be lovely.
âHey, Matt. Do you prefer a baby boy or a baby girl?â Veronica was curious.
They had never discussed kids. She was not sure if he wanted kids either. Veronica remembered him not liking kids the first time they met last year.
âAs long as they are our child, Iâll love them.â Matthew was slightly concerned as he stared at her doused in happiness.
The doctor mentioned the injury on her belly, and that she should be hospitalized in case of an emergency. However, due to her unstable pregnancy, there was a risk for miscarriage. The only thing he would do was to find the best gynecologist and accompany her to protect the babies.
âI knew it.â
Veronica had decided to spend the rest of her life happily married to Matthew. All her concerns had vanished, and she was all smiles and adorable.
It was a stunningly wonderful moment.
Matthew was completely immersed in the joy but did not lose himself. Instead, he felt everything came unexpectedly. He couldnât help but wonder if it was like the colorful bubbles ejected from a bubble gun, which could shatter and disappear at any time.
âHave some porridge. Itâll get cold soon.â He continued to feed her porridge, and they heard footsteps beyond the door.
Veronica raised her head when the door was opened. Elizabeth entered the room briskly while still smiling. âGeez. You brat. Why didnât you tell me about the good news?â
Veronica was stunned momentarily, and she whispered into Matthewâs ear. âYou told her?â
âNo. It is only about marriage.â
Matthewâs initial plan was to inform Elizabeth and make her happy. Even so, since Veronicaâs condition was unstable, he thought that failing to keep the baby safe would backfire. Elizabeth was old and weak;
and she would find it difficult to tolerate any mishap.
