Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 33

It was obvious that Veronica was avoiding questions about Matthew.

Since that was the case, there was no need for him to pursue it.

Everyone had their own secrets.

Xavier finished peeling the apple and handed it to Veronica. “Here. Eat it.”

“Huh? It’s for me?”

Veronica was quite surprised by his actions. When she saw him peeling the apple just now, she thought he was doing it for himself.

After all, Xavier was known for being a famous playboy in Bloomstead. He never knew how to be tender toward women.

Yet, he actually peeled an apple for her today.

Uh...

“Hahaha. No, no, it's okay. I don’t want to eat it.” Veronica quickly waved her hand and refused.

“This is my first time peeling a fruit for a woman, yet you dare to refuse?”

Xavier’s face sank, and his posture undoubtedly changed too.

He seemed to be saying, If you dare to refuse what I give you, watch out for the consequences!

Veronica was a little touched. She accepted the apple and took a bite, then said while chewing, “Thank you.”

In Bloomstead, she was a stranger in a strange place.

Her real family was her ‘enemy’, but someone who had nothing to do with her was willing to stay by her side.

It was hard for Veronica to not feel moved by this.

The two fell silent for a while, then Veronica began to shoo him out. “If there's nothing else to do here, you can go about your business. It's quite nice being here alone.”

Xavier leaned back in the chair, then crossed his legs as a wicked smile played on his lips. “Roni, you're somewhat ignorant of kindness. I'm a person who's occupied with a myriad of affairs. You should be grateful that I'm here with you.”

“Pfft...”

Amused by his remarks, Veronica couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Alright, alright. Since you're so occupied with a myriad of affairs, you should hurry up and deal with them. I can’t afford to be responsible for any delays.”

“If you can’t afford to take responsibility, you should consider repaying me with your body.”

“Hey, you have an endless supply of beautiful women around you, yet you'll settle for someone like me? Aren't you afraid you'll get bored of me after just one night?"

Veronica didn’t take Xavier’s words to heart, and she even joked about it with him, seemingly in a good mood.

She had applied some makeup, so her complexion was dark and her face was full of freckles. Her thick black eyebrows, in particular, made her look like a cartoon character.

To her surprise, Xavier still regarded her as a friend.

Her self-deprecating statements got a laugh out of Xavier.

For a moment, the ward was filled with laughter, and the atmosphere was good.

At noon, Xavier ordered a plain, healthy meal as takeaway from Bloomstead’s One Piece Restaurant.

When the delivery person sent One Piece Restaurant’s food over, Veronica panicked upon seeing the takeaway packaging.

“Young Master Xavier, you’ve spent too much. Their food is too expensive. It’s hard to get even one meal at One Piece Restaurant, but you actually ordered takeaway. I don’t have the money to return you.”

She knew that Xavier regarded her as a friend, but she always kept in mind that she was just a child of a poor family from the countryside.

Even though Xavier was generous with her, she couldn’t just accept it and enjoy it unscrupulously because she couldn’t afford to pay back even a little bit of gratitude debts.

“The Crawfords own shares of One Piece, so don’t worry. If you like it, I’ll ask someone to send it to you every day.”

«T "

Veronica was dumbfounded.

Sure enough, the rich were capricious.

“It’s a blessing to have you as a friend. However, although One Piece’s food is quite good, I’m not used to the taste.”

She randomly gave him an excuse.
