Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 779

"He's so reserved. I would have thought he was mute if I hadn't heard him speak earlier," Antheena remarked.

Eleanor glanced at Matthew with intrigue. "He looks quite homely, but when he fought with Hendrey just now, I could see that he was quite strong." Then, she turned to Dominik and asked, "Can I spar with him?"

"I heard that Princess Eleanor is highly skilled in terms of martial arts too. I'm interested."

"Yes, you guys can spar."

"Eleanor, don't be ridiculous."

"Yeah, he irritates me. Eleanor, teach him a lesson for me."

"Princess Eleanor, you should forget it. He's stronger than me. I'm worried he will hurt you by mistake," Hendrey blurted. It didn’t sound anything out of the norm, yet it was clear that he seemed to be provoking her.

Veronica could tell what Hendrey was up to. She swept an unfathomable glance at him and happened to meet his eyes. He dodged away guiltily.

"Hah! You underestimate me." It seemed that the provocation worked on Eleanor. So, she raised her eyebrows and confidently walked up to Matthew. "Hey, what's your name? Can you spar with me?"

Matthew poured himself a bottle of wine and replied indifferently, "No." His tone was light and breezy, but his refusal was swift and affirmative.

Tiffany, who had been silent due to the humiliation, resented Iron Pillar for his involvement in the incident earlier. Veronica would not have had the chance to make a move on her had he not stepped in to fight with Hendrey. When she saw this, she immediately said imperiously, "You're just a bodyguard. How dare you disregard the Young Lord of the Hidden Clan. This is outrageous!"
