Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 87

Veronica entered the kitchen and served herself a bowl of oatmeal before taking a seat opposite of Matthew at the dining table.

The two of them had their breakfast quietly, fully practicing the decent habit of not talking when eating. After they had finished their breakfast and Veronica had put down her spoon, Mathew said, "The breakfast cost 300 per set, so it will be 600 in total for today and yesterday's breakfast. Consider the milk as a free gift. Remember to pay them to me together with the clothes."

His words made Veronica choke on her food. "Six hundred? Is the food embedded with gold? Why is it so expensive?"

"I've spared you the delivery fee considering the fact that you are my godsister," Matthew added with a straight face.

She disdained his actions inwardly. "You did this on purpose because I collected money from you after buying you breakfast." "It's a fair trade. You may vomit all the food if you don't want to pay."

Matthew sat up straight, holding a napkin in his hands as he elegantly wiped his well-defined lips. Even an action as simple as wiping his mouth inadvertently revealed his elegance that had been deeply instilled into him.

"Vomit?" F*ck! They have all turned into poop, so how am I going to vomit them out? Veronica was extremely pissed by his words.

After glaring at Matthew in rage for a moment, she immediately rose up and jogged into her room, exiting with a piece of paper in her hand shortly after that. "Here you go. This is the receipt of the breakfast that I have bought for you."

The next second, she tore the paper into two, folded them into halves and tore them again. She tore the receipt until it became tiny pieces of paper before placing the pile of papers on the table. With a loud voice, Veronica announced, "Look, I've torn the receipt that day. Since we are family, we shouldn't be so calculative. It's not right to do so. Ha\ Since you have seen me tearing the receipt into pieces, will you forget about collecting money from me?"

The man wore his usual impassiveness on his handsome face as he replied, "I'll consider it."

With that, he rose to his full height and returned to his room. He grabbed his things, changed his shoes at the foyer and left.

Truth was, Matthew's cold treatment frustrated Veronica. "Such a petty man. I don't understand what the heck is going on in his head."

After cleaning up the living room and dining room, she hopped on a bicycle and headed off to her workplace.

It was another busy day in the office. She diligently learnt about her tasks from the other secretaries.

At 12 PM, Veronica had lunch with Xavier as usual, but in the evening after work, she said to him, "I won't be having dinner with you tonight. I have to go and meet a friend. I'll come to the office on time tomorrow at 8.00 AM." "Alright, see you tomorrow," Xavier replied unhesitatingly, seemingly in a good mood.

After Veronica had left the office, she bought some fruits and dietary supplements from a nearby mall before she took a cab to the Kings Residence.

As it was during the evening rush hour, it took Veronica an hour to get to her destination from the city center.

However, upon arriving at the Kings Residence, she spotted Matthew's car parked at one side as soon as she alighted from the cab.

She stood in place holding the things she had bought. She thought to enter the house together with him to visit Elizabeth since he was already here, but unexpectedly, Tiffany exited the car the same time as him.

Veronica's expression instantly fell. Her good mood vanished, so she turned on her heel to leave.

"Veronica, this is such a coincidence! You are here as well." Tiffany exited the car and greeted her.

Just then, Matthew alighted from the car as well. Tiffany walked up to him and held his arm, and they went up to Veronica together.

Veronica stared at Tiffany, silently warning her with a cold gaze. Have you forgotten about the lesson you learnt, as well as the warning I gave in the bathroom the other day ?

In truth, the incident that had happened in the bathroom the other day had pissed Tiffany off. She had complained about it to her parents but after some discussion, they had decided that she had to put up with it.

Her mother had repeatedly lectured her, "A moment of patience will save you future troubles!"
