Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 155

"Thank you," the delivery guy said, before he turned around and left.

Veronica turned back into the living room while carrying the food insulation box. "He he, Matthew, since you ordered so much food for breakfast, I'd better finish them before leaving. Otherwise, it'll be a waste," she said while heading toward the sofa with the food insulation box in one hand and the paper bags in the other.

Skyler was sitting on the sofa and groaning in pain when he saw Veronica coming back. However, before he could call her to account for her excessive use of selfdefense just now, he was kicked lightly by Veronica, who said, "Get up! Move aside a little."

Skyler's lips twitched violently. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the unsympathetic smile on Caleb's face and how Matthew showed no intention of standing up for him, he voluntarily moved aside to make a place for Veronica.

Veronica put the paper bags containing clothes on the sofa and the food insulation box on the coffee table. As soon as she opened the box, she was greeted by a savory smell. "Wow, it smells so good! I happen to be hungry," she said while taking out the sumptuous breakfast inside the box. "Aren't you a bit of a spendthrift, Matthew? Why order so much for breakfast for both of us?" Her heart ached terribly at the sight of the various dishes in the food insulation box. This meal is damn expensive.

At the sight of the scene, Skyler was astounded. Not only did Veronica address Matthew by the latter's first name without the use of honorifics, but she even spoke to him in a rude and even somewhat cocky manner. Is this what people mean by "spoiling"? She simply fears nothing, he thought. In Bloomstead, Skyler had rarely seen anyone who dared to call Matthew by his first name or even haughtily chastise him for being a "spendthrift." He felt like his world was being turned upside down.

On the other hand, Caleb's impenetrable gaze shifted back and forth between Veronica and Matthew, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.

"Let's eat together," Matthew said. Then, he went to the master bathroom to wash up.

Seeing that the man had entered the bathroom, Skyler immediately moved up to Veronica. "Babe, do you always speak to Matthew in such a haughty way?"

"Haughty? How? Wasn't that just normal communication? Matthew is a spendthrift in the first place, so I was only stating the fact," Veronica replied while sitting cross-legged on the carpet. After opening the container containing the porridge, she lowered her head and started to dig in with no intention of waiting for Matthew at all.

"Aren't you gonna wait for him to join you for breakfast?" Skyler asked.

"Why should I wait for him to come and eat with me? Don't tell me that I have to wait for him to feed me."

Skyler was rendered speechless by her reply. What a conversation killer. Without saying another word, he slowly walked to Caleb's side and nudged the latter in the arm, exchanging looks with the latter. F*ck, this little babe is no ordinary woman, he conveyed with his eyes.

Caleb gave him a look in return. I noticed that long ago.

Skyler shot him a glare. If you noticed that long ago, why didn 't you stop me just now? Do you know how much my butt hurt just now?

Caleb threw him a disdainful look. Serves you right. You were the one who asked for it.

Skyler glared at him. Get lost!

The two men kept making eye contact while thinking the same things.

After a little while, Matthew came out of his bedroom, having washed up, taken a shower, and changed into a set of clean clothes. After looking at the two buddies sitting on the sofa, he darted his eyes toward Veronica, who was sitting on the carpet. Seeing that she was eating breakfast with relish, he sat down beside her habitually and pushed the glass of specially-ordered milk toward her. "Drink this."
