Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1210

...

The pointed edge of his knife pressed against the handkerchief in Eleanor's hand, gently pushing it aside. "Don't think you can sow discord in our relationship with such crude tactics."

If he behaved properly, he wouldn't have to worry that Veronica would misunderstand.

Matthew had faith in the bond he shared with Veronica.

Veronica was standing at the doorway when he heard Matthew's words. In an instant, the threads of worry in her heart unraveled, releasing the burden she had been carrying.

In hindsight, she realized she had been overly concerned.

After she walked into the kitchen, she casually closed the door and put on a graceful smile. "Your Highness, are you looking for a change of scenery?"

Being teased in succession by the married couple left Eleanor both annoyed and amused.

She tossed the handkerchief directly into the trash bin and raised her delicately arched eyebrows. "Ah, how boring. Can't you two cooperate a bit with me? You should have pretended to be angry just to bring a little joy to my day."

Her joke easily resolved the awkwardness.

Her open and unabashed nature was truly something Veronica found somewhat endearing.

That kind of unrestrained and carefree attitude wasn't something everyone could embody.

Veronica and Matthew exchanged glances and smiled at each other. He then lowered his head and continued preparing the fish in his hand, while she slowly let her head hang as she felt warm and sweet in her chest.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. From now on, he will be my master and will definitely teach me how to cook step by step. Don't get jealous, okay?"

As she spoke, Eleanor deliberately leaned toward Matthew and raised her eyebrows at Veronica.

Veronica felt helpless in the face of such blatant seduction and provocation.

"Being defeated and being jealous is just a difference in wording. Your Highness, you better be prepared." Veronica crossed her arms and smiled as she turned and left.

"Hey... You! Are you just going to leave like this?"

"Why stay if there's no reason for me to?"
