Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 671 Return Me the Wedding Night Veronica scoffed as she ceased beating him. âYouâre such a jerk! Do you have any idea how difficult it is for me to put on that act? What were you thinking when you found that replacement, and even rendered him mute and handicapped with broken limbs? Youâre so vicious!â
âThat wasnât done by me.â Matthew took her hand in his and the two of them sat down on the ground, her in his embrace.â
When he was brought out of Antheenaâs castle, he was already mute as a result of being poisoned.
The veins in his left leg ruptured, while his elbow became infected and had to be amputated. All of this had absolutely nothing to do with me.â
The person who was killed by Veronica earlier was the one they found in the cellar of Antheenaâs castle previously. It was the same man who looked like Matthew and was hired to pretend to be Matthew.
Subsequently, at the harbor, Xavier handed that man over to Thomas in exchange for Antheena, who had been kidnapped.
That man, along with Troy, was then brought back for treatment in case they needed to use him in the future.
As he resembled Matthew, Matthew sought out a top plastic surgeon to perform minor procedures on the man, which resulted in him looking exactly like Matthew now.
To deceive the others, all of the scars and wounds on the manâs body were deliberately created in accordance with what Matthew had on his body.
âTiffany shot him a few times earlier. Terrified, he used sign language to tell them that he wasnât you, but they did not understand sign language and thus didnât understand what he was saying.â
âSo, you killed him?â In fact, Matthew understood everything.
Veronica, on the other hand, felt bad for doing that as the man was innocent, but she was left with no other options. There would be a lot of repercussions in the future if she did not act cruelly and kill that man now.
âYou did well. When Xavier handed him over to Thomas, he was already half dead. He would have died long ago if it hadnât been for my intervention. When he agreed to be my substitute, I had given his parents thirty million. He was expecting this day.â
Matthew cradled Veronicaâs shoulders and he leaned in so that she could rest her head on his shoulder.
âI know that.â
She wasnât surprised by what he said. She was well aware that since the man was willing to be Matthewâs substitute, he knew it would cost him his life.
âHow clever my Roni is! So, when did you realize I was still alive?â he asked, his large palm caressing her cheek.
âWhen I heard that Thomas shot you three times in the heart, I knew you wouldnât die.â
âWhy?â
âBecause you once told me that your heart is on the right side. And when I first met that man in the small town, I knew he wasnât you. Caleb too. Being an investigator with excellent observational skills, he sensed the man wasnât you as well. However, he did not tell Miguel and Skyler.â
Veronica leaned on his shoulders as she spoke, feeling happy but with something weighing on her heart.
He shared a bed with her, and had a completely different vibe with that man. It was impossible for her to be so stupid that she couldnât recognise her own husband.
âItâs all my fault. I made you suffer.â
Matthew extended his hand. Lifting her chin, he moved closer, thereafter kissing her on the lips.
It was only a soft kiss, but it sparked a burning fire between them both.
With that, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back deeper. Their breaths were becoming increasingly short and heavy.
Matthew took off his suit jacket and spread it out on the floor before he pushed her down. âWifey, Iâm in the mood.â
Moving closer to her ear, his breaths fell on her earlobe as he murmured, âOur wedding night was postponed for eight months. Donât you think you should compensate me?â
âHow dare you say that when you were the one who left me alone.â Veronica raised her head and bit his lips hard. âI would have died of agony if I hadnât realized the man wasnât you. Were you not afraid of that?â
âWell, my wife is never someone who can be easily deceived.â
