Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 130

Veronica turned to look at Matthew with a meaningful look in her eyes. She lied, "I don't know about that. Why don't you call him and ask him where he is instead?"

Elizabeth sounded amiable. "Sigh, alright, alright. As for you, when will you be free to keep me company, young lady? It's been a month since you saved me last time, yet I only got to meet you the day before yesterday. What makes you so busy every day?"

"In that case, I'll go keep you company tonight, okay?"

"Okay, okay! It's settled then."

"Uh-huh. See you tonight, Grandma." When Veronica hung up, she only felt that Elizabeth was somewhat strange today.

Noticing that something was wrong with Veronica's expression, Matthew asked, "What's wrong?"

Veronica shook her head without speaking while quietly waiting for Elizabeth to call

Matthew. However, after waiting for a while, she didn't see Matthew getting a phone call from Elizabeth. Didn't she say she was looking for Matthew? Why didn't she contact him? She couldn't help but ask, "Uh, is your phone's battery still good?" Elizabeth was supposed to have called Matthew if his phone hadn't run out of juice.

"Yeah, it is."

"Oh..." Veronica hung her head slightly and was deep in thought. Suddenly, she recalled something and asked, "When is Grandma's birthday?"

"A month and six days later."

"Which means, August 24."

Veronica estimated the time according to the date Matthew had just given her. Then, she recalled Elizabeth telling her that she would be celebrating her birthday in two months when she saved Elizabeth last time. If the date Elizabeth had told her was correct, it would be Elizabeth's birthday in a few days' time. However, Matthew said that her birthday was a month later, and the Kings Family hadn't done anything to prepare for her birthday either. So does it mean that Grandma said the wrong thing last time? Also, when I went to the Kings Residence the day before yesterday, Grandma said we hadn't met for a month as soon as she saw me. But in reality, we've not seen each other for over six weeks since I saved her. Furthermore, Lily has passed away for ten years, so why did she suddenly bring this up just now?

Sensing that something was wrong with the look on Veronica's face, Matthew asked her, "What are you thinking about?"

"I feel that..." Veronica hesitated for a moment. However, seeing how serious Matthew looked with his eyes full of worry, she said, "Never mind, it's nothing. Grandma was looking for you just now, so call her." She couldn't make wild guesses on something before there was evidence. I'd better spend more time with Grandma these days and observe her to determine whether she's alright.

Matthew then called Elizabeth. She seemed to be alright; after exchanging a few pleasantries with him, she hung up. When the car slowly reached the downtown area, Matthew suddenly asked, "What are you going to treat me to?"

Veronica thought for a moment. After looking at the breakfast shop on the roadside, she said to Thomas, "Mr. Ritter, could you pull over to the side of the road for a moment?"

"Oh, okay, Miss Murphy," Thomas replied, before turning the steering wheel and pulling over to the side of the road.

"Wait for me in the car while I buy it for you," Veronica said to Matthew. Then, she opened the car door and went directly to the breakfast shop on the other side of the road.
