Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

Clapping one hand over his neck while clutching the passenger seat with the other, Thomas sat sideways in his seat. His face turned red as he choked on the egg yolk, and veins were bulging in his forehead, making him look very scary,

Frightened. Veronica handed the soy milk in her hand to Thomas right away. “Have some soy milk, Mr. Ritter.”

Thomas took a look at Veronica, then at the soy milk she was holding with a look of aversion.

“I‘ve never drunk it.”

Only when Veronica said she had never drunk the soy milk did Thomas take it. After gulping down a big mouthful of soy milk, he finally felt much better. Letting out a long sigh of relief, he beat his chest, saying, “Sh*t, I almost choked to death.”

“Yeah, you‘d better choke to death!” Veronica chided Thomas angrily. “It‘s true that birds of a feather flock together. You‘re just like your boss. How could you be fussy about whether I‘ve drunk the soy milk when you were almost choking to death? Are you serious?”

“Ha ha. Anyway, thank you, Miss Murphy.” Thomas smiled with embarrassment while thanking Veronica for the life–saving soy milk she had handed to him just in time. Deciding from the bottom of his heart that he would never eat something like a tea egg again, he started the car and slowly drove on.

Sitting in the back seat, Veronica looked at Matthew, who was closing his eyes in repose. She found that this guy had become more and more petty. Is he holding a grudge against me for treating him to three bucks‘ worth of breakfast? She touched her nose and thought for a moment before suggesting, “Actually, there are many kinds of delicious street foods, such as stir–fried noodles, teppanyaki, and tacos… What about I take you to have some street foods tomorrow evening?”

The man slowly opened his eyes to shoot a glance at Veronica out of the corner of his eye. “Tacos? Are you gonna treat me to cheap fish tacos or something?”

“What? Fish… Haha…” Veronica was amused by his words. “Haha…” Placing her hand on her stomach, she laughed hysterically while slapping her thigh with no regard for her image.

Mathew and Thomas were dumbfounded by Veronica‘s sudden guffaw as they didn‘t

understand what made her laugh so hysterically. Matthew turned to look at her, whereas Thomas stared at her through the rearview mirror. I

Only then did Veronica‘s smile fade. She said in a whisper, “There are some things that you have to be careful about saying.”

“Huh?” Matthew was puzzled.

“There‘s a joke about fish tacos. If someone says they‘re taking you to eat fish tacos, he‘s actually… Never mind, it‘s nothing.” It‘s better not to say some dirty remarks out loud, she thought. She waved her hand, saying, “Don‘t care about how much the tacos cost. I‘ll definitely let you have enough of them tomorrow.” In order to enjoy free breakfast in the future, she could only endure the heartache and spend some money again to treat Matthew to dinner.

Matthew didn‘t ask her further questions as the three returned to Twilight

Condominium

When Matthew and Veronica returned to the apartment, Yvonne had already gone to work. After changing her clothes, Veronica said goodbye to Matthew. “I’m off to work. Bye,” she shouted toward his bedroom while standing in the living room.

However, as soon as she finished her sentence, Matthew opened the door and came out walking upright. Dressed in a dark gray suit, the radiant–looking man gave off a noble and distant air of superiority through every pore like an exceptionally handsome celestial being that was unapproachable. Even just a glance at such an extraordinarily dignified man would please both the eye and the mind.

An inadvertent sidelong glance at Matthew was all it took for Veronica to be attracted to his handsome looks, and she fell for him instantly. How could this jerk be so good looking? God is more or less partial to him, I guess.

“I‘ll give you a ride,” Matthew said.

“Oh, that‘s pretty nice. Saves me money,” Veronica replied with a chuckle.

She had indeed drunk a lot yesterday, but it didn‘t mean that she was really drunk. She had thought about some matters carefully. Avenging her adoptive parents was very important, but she was no match for the Kings Family and the Larson Family. Why do such a stupid thing as to fight a hopeless battle, then? Rather than courting death, it was better to endure the humiliation and go back to stay with her adoptive parents, which was better than anything else.

Veronica‘s lips twitched as she sat beside Matthew. So this guy knew a long time ago that I‘m working at Xavier‘s company, eh? No wonder he never asked me on which company‘s behalf I was doing charity when we went to Almeida together. I thought he wouldn‘t give a damn about Xavier‘s small company. Seems like I‘ve underestimated him.
