Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1006

For reasons unbeknownst to her, Veronica was suddenly filled with guilt. Was it truly all right for her to use Mateo like this when he was still so innocent?

"Thank you, Mat." She sobbed gratefully, "When I become the head of the clan, we'll get married. I only want to spend the rest of my life with you and not anyone else."

"Your words… They're more than enough." Mateo felt just as relieved as well.

After giving it some thought, he added, "In time, we'll bring the kids to me and say that they're mine, and no one will think otherwise. When you've secured the position as the head of the clan, Grandpa won't be able to do anything to you either."

"Thank you, Mat, you're the best." Veronica pounced on him and pulled him into a hug, her heart filled with gratitude.

After that, the two sat and chatted for a long while. Soon, when Crayson returned, the three of them had a casual conversation with each other.

On the way back, Veronica passed by a jewelry shop and instructed, "Stop the car."

Crayson turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"

She pointed at the jewelry store and explained, "I suddenly remembered that Mat's birthday is tomorrow, isn't it? I'm going to pick a present for him." Saying that, she extended a hand. "Your card."

"I'll go with you," Crayson said with a chuckle.

Veronica rolled her eyes at his reply. "Forget it. With that taste of yours and how picky you are, I'd rather pick it out myself."

"Okay. Then, you can go yourself."

Naturally, Crayson was elated. He could feel Veronica's concern toward Mateo, and when the two got married in the future, he would be her grandfather-in-law, bringing them even closer together.

"The password is my birthday." He handed the card to her and asked, "Do you understand what they're saying?"

"Crayson, what are you thinking? You were the one who taught me the hidden tongue. Have you forgotten?" Veronica shook her head with a pout. "As I thought, you're growing old. Your head is not as good as before."

A look of shock appeared in Crayson's eyes before he laughed heartily. "I was worried that you won't understand it anymore after all those years in Bloomstead."
