Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1281

"Geez, Matthew, stop fooling around. It's already late. The food will be served in less than an hour."

"Based on what you said, one hour isn't enough for you. I suppose I'm not doing a good job."

"No, no! That's not what I meant, you—um..."

Matthew didn't let her finish her sentence as he silenced her with a kiss.

An hour later, there was a series of knocks on the door.

Knock, knock, knock...

"Miss, it's time to wake up and have a meal."

The person calling her to eat upstairs was a servant in the house, but the cook had already been replaced by a new chef.

With her cheeks flushed, Veronica quickly raised her hand to her lips, gesturing for Matthew to stay quiet.

Naturally, he complied.

"Okay, got it. I'll go downstairs right away," Veronica replied.

It was silent outside. The servant had already gone downstairs.

Veronica pleaded, "We should go eat."

"No rush."

"Master Crayson and Mateo are both here. If we don't go down, they'll find out what we're doing. Won't it be awkward?"

"Don't worry. They won't be able to return this morning."

"They won't be able to return? What happened?" Veronica asked worriedly.

As she asked the question, a cold and stern expression appeared on Matthew's face. He also had a hint of anger in his eyes. "Veronica Murphy, do you want to die in bed?"

"Huh? No, I just… Hey… Matt, no, honey, don't be too—"

And so, another hour passed.

Matthew finally released her.

After freshening up, they both walked out of the room one after another. However, considering Veronica's dignity, Matthew went back upstairs instead of going downstairs.
