Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 174

Daniella came forward and led them into the house.

Inside the house, there was already tons of food on the dining table. There was a mixture of vegetables and meat, so it was a well-balanced meal. Besides, there was also a bottle of wine on the table.

"Mr. Murphy, I need to go outside and get something." After Matthew had said that, he turned around and walked out.

After Matthew had gone out to the courtyard, Crayson rapped the cigarette pipe in his hand on the table and glared at Veronica. "Does he like you?"

"What?! Master, what are you on about?! He has a fiancee." Veronica brushed him off by waving her hands as she thought that he was being quite indecent.

"Alright, that's great to know." Crayson nodded his head solemnly just then.

"What's great to know?" Meanwhile, Veronica, who was quite confused by his words, couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing. I just think that this guy is dressed in expensive-looking clothes and he has a noble air to him, so he would be way out of your league." "Yeah, that's right. Your master's quite right." Tony agreed with Grayson too.

Veronica was at a loss for words upon hearing that. "What's going on in your brains? Gosh!" She shook her head and responded, "Dad, today's your birthday and it's also his birthday coincidentally, so he came over to celebrate your birthdays together."

As soon as Veronica said that, she also realized how ridiculous the reason sounded and she quickly explained, "This was his grandmother's idea.

Actually, my god-grandmother instructed him to come here."

"Is that so? That does sound reasonable." At that point, Tony nodded his head and he could finally heave a sigh of relief.

Shortly after that, Matthew came back from outside and he had in his hands a crate of whisky. He carried it into the house and placed it by a corner.

"Oh no! T-This must cost so much!" Although Daniella didn't drink much alcohol, she knew the cost of it was surely exorbitant.

However, Matthew instantly responded by saying, "Someone else gave it to my family as a gift and we couldn't finish it, so I just brought it along anyway."

Subsequently, he offhandedly took out a bottle of whisky from the crate and placed it on the table with a warm smile. "Mr. and Mrs. Murphy, Master Crayson, I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting."

The lot of them couldn't tell the difference between different types of alcohol but Veronica had worked at the Twilight Bar as a security personnel for so long, so she naturally knew that this whisky was very expensive. This was a top-quality aged whisky and the price of it in the market was as expected.

However, Veronica didn't want her adopted parents to feel any unnecessary burden, so she came up with a feeble excuse. "Mom, there's plenty of alcohol at theirs and it's not expensive. Let's start on our meal, or the food will grow cold soon."

Subsequently, everyone started eating. It was just some simple home-cooked food and yet Matthew, who was used to delicacies, found that the food actually tasted exceptionally better. He savored them slowly, as it was filled with the taste of a mother's love.

Everyone enjoyed themselves chitchatting while they drank some alcohol. The conversation flowed and the vibe was very enjoyable.

Just then, Tony was seated on Veronica's left while Crayson was on her right. She behaved like a daddy's girl in front of the two of them and she reached out to tug at Crayson's goatee from time to time. "Master, you're so unfair! You came over to visit my dad on his birthday but you didn't even turn up on my birthday! As punishment, you must down a glass of whisky!"

"Okay, okay. Fine. I'll finish off this glass as punishment. I promise to come during spring next year for your birthday."

"Ha! Okay! You have to keep your word, then!"

"You little brat, how can you behave so disrespectfully! He's your master, so how dare you tug on his goatee?"

"Dad, this is between me and my master, so don't interfere. Come on— it’s your birthday today, so here's a toast to you. Happy birthday!" As Veronica spoke, she suddenly remembered Matthew, who was sitting across from her. "Hey, Matthew, it's your birthday too.

Thank you for sending me back home today, and here's a toast to you too. Happy birthday!”

Veronica was truly very happy and thankful for Matthew's help.

Meanwhile, he nodded slightly before standing up to propose a toast to Tony. "Happy birthday, Mr. Murphy. Wishing you health and happiness.”

"Ha'. Thank you."
