Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 72

Elizabeth’s words caused Matthew’s expression to darken significantly.

However, he recalled the doctor’s repeated instructions of avoiding angering her before she was discharged from the hospital, so he could only nod his head perfunctorily. “Okay.”

Meanwhile, Veronica was extremely gleeful to see Matthew getting told off.

However, she stopped smiling and turned to Elizabeth. “Grandma, Matthew’s right. My background is indeed not a good match for them.”

“Well, it’s good that you know your position.” Matthew agreed with her words.

However, as soon as he said that, there was a loud ‘bang’ that sounded, as Elizabeth had immediately flung the cup in front of her at Matthew’s feet. “I told you to shut up!

Are you deaf or what?”

Just then, Elizabeth had a thunderous expression as she stared at Matthew.

However, as soon as she turned to Veronica, she showed a warm and inviting smile. “Silly girl, what are you on about? Why are you considering whether you’re a good match for them or not? You’re a kind and obedient child who’s very pretty too. Besides, you have a university degree, so you’re definitely a worthy match. Selfconfidence is important in a girl. Trust me —I have good judgment so if I reckon that you’re good enough, then you definitely are!”

At that point, Veronica could feel Elizabeth’s kindness and the former was significantly touched.

Veronica shot a look at Matthew, who was sitting off to one side with a cold expression on his face, and she noticed that he was seated quite stiffly on the couch. From his expression, she could tell that he seemed quite resigned toward Elizabeth’s actions. Truth be told, Veronica had never seen such an awkward expression on his face.

Just then, she was rather tickled by the situation. At the same time, she also realized that Matthew was indeed very filial toward Elizabeth.

“Grandma, you’re the best!”

Veronica didn’t want Elizabeth’s efforts to be in vain, so the former didn’t directly reject the latter’s suggestion.

“There’s no need to be so courteous with me.” Elizabeth smiled.

Suddenly, her expression turned stern and she moved closer to Veronica to ask softly, “By the way, I never got to ask you—why do you loathe Tiffany?Are you actually that reluctant to go home?”

Elizabeth’s consecutive questions were ones that Veronica refused to answer.

Elizabeth clearly sensed Veronica’s attitude too, so she spoke up. “Darling, I’m not trying to make you go back home. I just wanted to let you know if you don’t want to go back, you...”

And so, Elizabeth paused for a moment and patted herself on the chest. “With me around, no one can force you to go back!”

Elizabeth’s words struck a chord within Veronica and the latter could no longer contain her emotions. The tears welled up in her eyes, causing her eyes to turn red and she was quite touched. “Grandma, you re awesome...

Because of her relationship with Elizabeth, Matthew had saved Veronica during the fire. Then, he had saved her once again when she had been kidnapped onto that cruise ship.

Right now, Elizabeth even went as far as to be Veronica’s strong support to fend off the pressure very likely to be inflicted by the Larsons’.

This was completely beyond Veronica’s expectations because Elizabeth was merely a stranger to her, yet the older woman treated her so well merely after a few interactions.

“Gosh! Why are you tearing up all of a sudden?”

Just then, Elizabeth was frantic upon noticing the tears that threatened to spill over Veronica’s eyes. Glaring at Matthew, Elizabeth muttered, “Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and hand me the tissue on the table!”

Meanwhile, Matthew glanced from Elizabeth to Veronica, and there was a slightly displeased look that flashed across his eyes. This despicable woman is so good at putting up an act!

At that moment, he reached out for the tissue box and handed it over to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth hurriedly pulled some tissue out and handed it to Veronica. “It’s fine. Don’t cry. With me around, I won’t let anyone bully you. Even if the Larsons are my future in-laws, I won’t allow them to do whatever they want.”

“Grandma, I don’t want to go back home. Can you really help me?”

Just then, Veronica sniffled and took the tissue to wipe off her tears.

Ever since she had arrived in Bloomstead, the person who had helped her the most, other than Xavier, was Elizabeth.
