Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 279

"Where are we going?" Matthew asked upon seeing Veronica walk out of the store.

With a flick of his finger, he sent his cigarette flying into the rubbish bin.

"Any suggestions?"

As she asked that, she walked over to the car, pulled open the door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"Whatever the host wishes."

"We'll go to One Piece Restaurant then," she replied.

After all, she could not just dine with Matthew wherever she liked due to his status.

She did also win big in the Alpine Ski Resort. If splurging on a meal once was enough to return the favor, she would happily do so.

He got back into the car and began driving toward One Piece Restaurant.

"You haven't visited Grandma for a few days. She missed you. Visit her when you are free," he said as he drove.

"Okay," she responded, looking out the window the entire time.

They seemed to be experiencing more snow this year.

It was a sunny day yesterday, but it was now beginning to snow again.

Bloomstead was a bright and colorful place with lights everywhere. With snowflakes drifting in the air, the city looked extraordinarily gorgeous.

"Do you love snow?" he asked upon noticing her focused attention on the world outside.

However, her reply surprised him.

"I like everything except for you."

After pondering on what she had just said, he found it to be true.

She liked way too many things when he was not in the equation.

Even so, he was rendered speechless by her ability to kill off all conversation with one sentence.

One of his hands reached up to run through his hair as exasperation shone in his eyes.

What should he even do about this darned woman?

"You actually hate me that much?" he asked after a pause.

Stunned, she turned to look at him as though he was a fool. "Have I not been obvious enough?"

He was speechless.

Thus, the conversation ended.

Soon, the car pulled up to One Piece Restaurant.

The two got out of the car and were seated in a private room.

As a member of the restaurant, Matthew did not need to line for a table.

Within the room, a server handed

Veronica the menu before asking, "Good day. What will you both be having today?"

Veronica looked up and pointed at the man seated opposite her. "Ask him."

"I'm fine with anything," he calmly stated as he took a sip of water.

"Fine," she said before replying to the server. "Give me a few servings of the cheapest items on your menu."

The server was stunned. "Miss, the cheapest item on our menu is plain water."

The corners of her mouth were twitching hard as she was suddenly hit by the thought that their server was kind of an idiot. "I want two servings of the cheapest mains you have along with some appetizers. Remember, they must be the cheapest items.”
