Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 376

Veronica took a few steps back and quietly watched the noble and otherworldly man chopping wood like a normal human being.

Still, the noble temperament he had was not one that ordinary people would have.

She was slightly moved out of nowhere as she looked at him.

This was a man who was willing to do anything, even sacrifice himself to save her. He had even humbled himself by doing chores at her house.

Veronica didn't even know what reason she had for her to keep refusing him despite how she really felt for him.

Especially at that time in the kitchen when Matthew said that he would give her one billion and ten villas as bridewealth. And if he cheated in their marriage, he would take none of the possessions and leave everything to her.

Although these words might not come true, it was still unimaginable for him to want to give a staggering one billion in bridewealth.

Veronica didn't have her head in the clouds that she would think that she was worth one billion.

"Matthew?" she called out.

The man immediately stopped doing his work and put the sharp end of the axe on the ground. He rested one arm on the handle of the axe, and placed the other hands on his hip as he looked back at her. "What's wrong?" he asked, so tired he had beads of sweat on his skin.

Seeing his flushed face and the fine sweat glistening on his forehead, Veronica stepped forward and took out a tissue from her pocket, thereafter gently wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The sudden move surprised the man, and with a smile on his face, he hummed, "Are you worried for me, Roni?"

He seemed to be enjoying this moment a lot.

She pursed her lips as she grabbed the tissue tight while she stared intently at the man who was right in front of her with her bright eyes. She was even more moved when she saw how his chest tiredly rose and fell from him chopping wood.

"Matthew, let's... let's date."

Wouldn't it be a pity not to cherish a man who was willing to let go of everything in order to be with her?

As soon as Veronica said that, the smile on Matthew's face suddenly disappeared.

His sharp, straight eyebrows pulled together then, and his eyes suddenly became clear. "You... Are you serious?"

"What is the matter? Do you not want to?"

She was puzzled to no end.

She didn't understand his reaction and expression after she agreed to be together with him.

"What? Of course I want to. It is just that..." Matthew paused and dragged his voice.

"What is it?”

"You cannot go back on your words after you promise me." The man reached out and pinched her delicate cheek. "Think about it properly."

Veronica pursed her red lips and nodded with a knowing smile. "Mhm.

I won't regret my decision."

Only then did Matthew's handsome face beam as a smile appeared.

Throwing the axe aside out of joy, he engulfed her in one big hug.

He was overwhelmed by emotions as he soon released her, and he planted a kiss on her lips.

The kiss was hot and passionate, but after recalling that they were at her home, he immediately let go of her.

"But... when can we get married?" After saying that, Matthew suddenly remembered their previous agreement. He then said again, "A hidden marriage isn't a bad idea." "We can talk about that next time." Veronica stood on her tiptoes and lightly kissed him on the lips. She then turned around and was about to leave when she realized Hendrey, Skyler, and Miguel were standing in the doorway and staring intently at her and Matthew.

Her face instantly turned red.

What the hell? she thought, flustered.

The one time she took the initiative to confess had actually been witnessed by the lot of them.

Since when have I lowered my guard so much?

"Tsk! This is overstepping the line. It is too early to be sticking to each other."

"Isn't that right? Matthew somehow won her over with his unexpected behavior."
