Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 569

"I understand how difficult this is for you, but I have no choice but to marry her."

"We… can do our part respectively," Matthew grumbled with a frown. There was a double entendre in his words.

Crayson abruptly lifted his gaze from the cigarette butt in his hand and looked at Matthew. Their eyes met each other before the old man broke into a smile.

"I was wrong. I didn't like you with Veronica at first, but you've grown on me."

"Time is the most reliable witness."

"Roni's parents will be arriving at Bloomstead in the afternoon. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up and we'll have a light meal together," Matthew added as he curled his lips.

Slotting out another cigarette from the box, Crayson sat on the couch and lit his cigarette without any words.

"I'll see you later tonight." With that, Matthew rose to his feet and left.

The frowning old man remained deep in thought on the couch even after Matthew left. Within seconds, the faint puffs of smoke lingered in the vast office.

…

In the afternoon at the Hilton Hotel suite, a group of five sat in the private room; the list included Daniella, Tony, Crayson, Elizabeth, and Matthew.

After ordering the food, Matthew stood up and did a Kings Family's ritual by pouring a cup of tea for each of the elders. Since Crayson was the eldest and also Veronica's master, the first cup of tea was served to him. He then did the same for Daniella and Tony after greeting, "Mom and Dad, please have some tea."

The way Matthew addressed the elderly couple stunned them for a moment as they did not respond for a long time. Elizabeth, on the other hand, smiled happily as she believed that Matthew had finally come to his senses.

"Hahaha… Young Master Matthew, this… Uhm…" Words failed Daniella as she gave an awkward smile before looking at Tony, then at Crayson, and finally back at Matthew.

"Please take a seat," Matthew said with his hand resting on her shoulder. It was an indication that he had something to say.
