Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 422

The movement of Veronica's hand came to a halt. "Huh? Did Master Crayson agree? Why am I completely unaware of this? When did this happen?"

On cloud nine, she handed Daniella the comb and said, "Mom, you can comb your hair. I'm going to see my master."

"You... brat." Daniella shook her head, but her face was flushed with affection.

Knocking on the door next room, Tony appeared in front of her.

"Good morning, Dad." She gave him a friendly smile.

"Why are you smiling when you've upset Master Crayson?" chided Tony.

"I know I'm the one to blame. I'm now pleading for his forgiveness." She squeezed in through the gap between the doors and found Crayson lying on the bed, quilted and sleeping on his side.

"Master Crayson? Master Crayson?"

Veronica approached and appeared in front of his face. "Hey, Master Crayson. My mom told me that you have agreed to my marriage with Matt. You're the best!"

"Hmph! I don't have an apprentice like you!" Crayson growled angrily. He then snorted, rolled over and had his back facing her.

Seeing this, Veronica stood up and crossed the bed to the other side. As such, Crayson eyed her and prepared to roll over before she could say anything.

However, this time, he was stopped by her. "Hey! What are you doing, Master Crayson? You've agreed to my marriage with Matt, which is the best news I could get! I swear to God..."

Having said that, she raised her palm and solemnly declared, "I swear that Matthew and I will be happy for the rest of our lives. Otherwise, we'll..."

Just as Veronica was about to continue, Crayson pouted and slapped her on the head, exclaiming, "Shut up! I'm not even in the mood. You'll irritate me to death sooner or later."

When she saw her master, who was old and gray, she sensed his distress and love for her. Therefore, she gave him a hug across the bedding. "With the exception of my parents, you are the best in the world. You must live at least a hundred years!"

"I won't be able to move at the age of a hundred. I'm afraid you won't feed me and I'll die of starvation instead." He gave her a sidelong glance.

"What are you blabbering about? I'll have steaks while you have salads; I'll eat bananas while you eat the peel...

Ouch..." She cracked a joke, just like she used to do when she was younger.

She got a slap on the head about halfway through her joke. "Stop playing with me! You rude brat!"

Veronica pouted as she yanked on Crayson's beard. "You can't ignore me, Master Crayson. I'm being bullied here!" "You earned it! You should take a beating!" he reprimanded.

The atmosphere became livelier and more relaxed as the conversation progressed.

After a while, Matthew brought his servants along with him to have a meal together.

Crayson's condition was brought to Matthew's attention by Veronica, thus, he contacted the doctor to have Crayson examined.

It turned out that Crayson's blood pressure was elevated, but everything else was normal. As such, Veronica's anxious heart had calmed down and she left for work after bidding everyone goodbye.

At 11.00AM, she had just stepped down from the stage after the runway when she bumped into Hendrey backstage.

"Hi, Hendrey. What brings you here?" Veronica was taken aback when she saw him.

She had only seen him a few times in the last three months since her hand fracture accident.

He was dressed in a white suit and appeared as gentle as he always did. He smiled brightly as he stood in front of her. "Are you recovered now?"

"Yes."

"My arm has healed," Veronica said while moving her wrist.
