Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 80

Just then, Veronica tried to contain her laughter. "Matthew, don't tell me that you've never tried such noodles before in all your life? You have to mix it up before eating it. If you don't, I'm afraid there won't be any taste."

She was in high spirits so she suddenly felt that his current behavior was exceptionally comical. In short, he was her source of entertainment for today.

"I don't usually eat this," Matthew replied with a sincere expression and he didn't lie to her at all.

Upon hearing that, Veronica frowned and shook her head. "You're not a regular human being."

She walked forward and reached out to grab the cutlery from his hands before mixing the noodles. After she had mixed the sauce and the noodles evenly, she finally handed over the cutlery to him. "Try this again."

And so, Matthew took the cutlery and glanced at her before scooping another portion to take a bite.

The first mouthful tasted mediocre.

Then, the next mouthful was acceptable.

Subsequently, he tried it a third time.

"Not bad," he commented while scooping some more noodles to taste them.

Matthew's table manners were impeccable and he ate refinedly while chewing each mouthful slowly. He ate the bowl of noodles as if he was eating a three-course meal in a fine dining restaurant.

Throughout, he behaved very refined and elegantly, and it was quite a pleasure to watch him eat.

Meanwhile, Veronica sat across the table from him and she stared at him unblinkingly as he ate.

Matthew, on the other hand, continued to enjoy the noodles while glancing at her. Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling rose within him and he felt as if he was already married to a pretty little wife, who specifically prepared breakfast for him and then sat there watching him eat. The scene in his mind was warm, peaceful, and lovely.

The current sensation dissipated quite shortly but somehow, he yearned for it to linger on.

In no time, Matthew finished his breakfast.

As for Veronica, she suddenly smacked the table and placed a piece of paper in front of him. "Here you go. Please settle the bill."

Written on the A4-sized paper were the words, 'Large noodles—eight; fresh soy milk—two; delivery cost—ninety. Total— one hundred.'

Although the large portion of noodles didn't cost that much, Veronica had the makings of a cunning businessperson.

"Boss, I know that you don't have cash but it's fine because it can go on your tab. Here —" She then handed a pen to him. "—sign on this."

"Where did you order this from? Why are the delivery charges so expensive?"

Matthew took the A4 sheet from her as he questioned her.

"Well, of course it would be slightly different. I'm your sister and I'm Grandma's god granddaughter, so my net worth has increased leaps and bounds, no? If it was in the past then I could charge you less but right now, I'm part of the Kingses so charging too little for running this errand for you would definitely reflect badly on the family reputation."

Veronica said this with a serious expression and her words sounded quite reasonable too.

At that point, Matthew couldn't find the words to rebuke her.

For some reason, there was a slight smile that flashed across his handsome face as he held the pen and signed his name on the A4 sheet.

Just then, Veronica took the sheet from him. "Thanks, boss. Here, let me clear the table for you. This is complimentary."

Soon after that, she got up and collected the disposable containers to throw them into the bin before wiping the table. She worked diligently, not noticing the cunning look that flashed across Matthew's eyes.

"I need to go to the office. You can stay here and call me if you encounter any problems."

"Sure. Go ahead." Veronica nodded her head earnestly.

She was quite happy to see the man leave and it would be even better if he didn't come back each day too.

And so, Matthew gathered his belongings and he left without saying another word.

He took the elevator to the second floor of the basement and Thomas was already waiting there in the car. As soon as Matthew entered the car, Thomas started the engine and drove off slowly in the direction of the Spinfluence Group.

Along the way, Thomas took a look at Matthew and realized that the latter seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood.

Meanwhile, Veronica spent her whole morning gaming in the Twilight

Condominium.

Finally, at 11.30 AM, her cell phone rang.

She took it in her hand and glanced at the screen to see that it was a call from Xavier. As soon as she answered the call, his voice rang out instantly. "Roni, where are you? I'm back in town."
