Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 333

Everything happened so quickly that she was caught unprepared.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm a fool? I could tell long ago that you've got feelings for Matthew. As for Matthew, there's something different about the way he looks at you. How could he possibly be involved with a guy?" Elizabeth took Veronica's hand and gently patted the back of it. "I’ve been in love before. How can I not know what it's like to be head over heels in love? But you two can't keep going on like this. Anyway, I'm happy that Matthew has finally found someone he likes. If he still didn't confess his love for you, I would've prepared to set you up with someone. To tell you the truth, I picked six nice guys for you and was about to arrange for you to meet them."

She sincerely liked Veronica and spoiled the latter like she was her own granddaughter. At first, she had thought that Veronica and Matthew weren't meant to be together, so she thought it good for Veronica to be her god-granddaughter. Little did she think that fate would bring the two of them to develop feelings for each other. Inwardly, she was delighted. It was just that she was old, so such an emotional roller-coaster was a bit too much for her heart.

"Grandma..." Veronica didn't know what to say in response.

Matthew didn't want to see Elizabeth pressing Veronica harder and harder, though. "Don't put Roni in a tight spot. Now that I've promised her, I'll naturally keep my promise. Just give her some time."

"Tsk, tsk. You're enlightened at last, huh? To think that you even know to feel sorry for her." Elizabeth shook her head and sighed with feeling. "Sigh. Well, that's a good thing. Veronica is a fine lady; she's more than a good match for you," she said. Then, she asked, "But what makes you love Veronica? She looks just like Tiffany. You’re my grandson, but I'm telling you, I'll skin you alive if you're just playing with her feelings!"

"I never liked Tiffany," Matthew said.

"That's good to hear." Elizabeth nodded with a long sigh of relief. Although she was happy to know that Matthew had finally found himself a wife after being single for almost 30 years, she still had a headache now that rumors were circulating outside. "Well, in that case, tell me what you're gonna do about today's incident," she said while patting Veronica's hand again. "Sigh. Veronica, it was Matthew's fault for doing you a disservice. If he hadn't gotten engaged to Tiffany back then, you two would probably have had babies."

"Grandma, it's all history now." Veronica was still upset upon recalling what had happened in the past. However, Matthew didn't like her at the time, and nor did she like him. Now that I think about it, it's been eight months since we got to know each other. We've gone through a lot of things over the past eight months, which slowly brought us together.

"I'm old. As you know, my health is getting worse by the day. All I want is to have a great-grandson." "But, Grandma... I-I'm not prepared for that yet," Veronica argued. She and Matthew had just started seeing each other. If they were to get engaged immediately, she feared that Matthew might stop having feelings for her one day. Or what should she do if she found out after spending some time with him that he wasn't her type?

Just then, Matthew interrupted their conversation, saying, "Just give Roni some time. I'll deal with the public opinion."

"That works." Elizabeth nodded. "Alright, I'll wait for you two. How could you two little brats hide it from me that you two are dating? I was worried sick about both of you," she said. Then, she patted the driver’s seat and warned, "Especially you. You're already an adult; can't you afford to get a hotel room? How could you fool around with Veronica in the fitting room? Do you think Veronica is as shameless as you are?"
