Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 334

Being a woman herself, Elizabeth understood the difficult position Conrad's mother was in. She had a son with Howard, but he never acknowledged her as his wife in the end. She had always known her place. If someone had to be blamed for this, Howard was the one who should be blamed. Conrad's mother was a nice person, which was why Elizabeth, who saw everything in black and white, was especially nice to Conrad.

Matthew's handsome face looked somewhat frosty. "Uncle Conrad has something to do with what happened to Roni this time. I can forgive him once, but three strikes and he's out."

"Okay, I got it," Elizabeth replied, but she didn't care about this at all. She couldn't help but question again, "Now then, when are you gonna marry Veronica? If you don't hold onto such a nice lady, she might become someone else's wife."

"There's no hurry. She's just 22 years old."

"You're not in a hurry, but I am."

"Even if you're in a hurry, you have to wait." "That's Peking nonsense! How many years can I wait now that I already have one foot in the grave? Why is it so hard to have a great-grandson?" Elizabeth swore in anger. "A year—I'm giving you a year at most. You two must get married by then!"

"Three years!" Matthew protested.

"No chance. I'm giving you guys two years at most."

"We won't get married, then," Matthew replied nonchalantly while turning to look somewhere else.

"How dare you..." Elizabeth sat up angrily before slapping his arm forcefully. "Are you trying to piss me off? What a good-for-nothing who can't even deal with a woman! How useless of you to have such good looks for nothing!" Every word she said was filled with her distaste for him. Then, she pointed at him, saying, "Hmph! Don't blame me for not reminding you. Veronica is not only fair and pretty, but she's also a reliable person destined for greatness. If you don't hold her in your grasp right now, then don't cry in front of me when someone steals her away one day."

Matthew's thin lips parted slightly. He wanted to make a retort, but he suddenly found that there was some truth in Elizabeth's words.

"Enough, just get out of here and take care of the matter. Don't make a spectacle of yourself again." Elizabeth urged him to leave with a wave of her hand. Then, she added, "From tomorrow onward, you no longer have to come back as long as Veronica doesn't return to the Kings Residence. It irks me to see you."

Matthew was rendered speechless. Good God, my standing has plummeted now that there's Veronica! He left the ward.

Seeing the man stepping out of the ward, Veronica immediately stood up and stared at him with a complicated look in her eyes. "Are you okay?" A smile of satisfaction appeared on Matthew's good-looking face as he put up his hand and gently caressed her cheek with his thumb. "I've never felt better than I do now."

Veronica was dumbfounded. "Huh? What makes you say so now that so many things have happened?"

"You weren't there before," Matthew replied.

His words tugged at Veronica's heartstrings, causing her heart to flutter.

Putting his arm around her waist, Matthew pulled her into his arms and leaned forward to peck her on the lips before straightening up. "I've talked to Grandma, and she'll keep our relationship a secret."

"Really?"

"Of course."
