Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 Bet? What Bet?

Thomas was considered to have met countless people before, but he was used to encountering women from well-off families ever since he worked for Matthew; these women tend to be aware of their reputation in front of Thomas.

Veronica, on the other hand, was exceptionally different from most people and she was rather unabashed before him.

She remained in bed as she tilted her head to look at Thomas. “Why would you think that I can’t finish all of them? Even if I can’t, I can just keep them for my dinner.” As a thrifty person, she did not condone wasteful behavior, so she definitely meant her words.

However, at the moment, she was craving something that contained meat.

“Just get it. Caleb, Drew and Miggy are here too, so they will join us for lunch.” Matthew purposely brought up his buddies as an excuse to stop Thomas from questioning any further.

After Matthew had said that, he signaled with his eyes to the men by the side and the trio instantly took the hint and went along with his words.

Caleb replied, “Yeah, I just so happen to be craving some pork sausages.”

Miguel added, “Miss Murphy and I have similar palettes.”

As for Skyler, he went all out. “What, you think we can’t finish some little croissants and sausages? You’re definitely underestimating us! Thomas, hurry up and get the food before I grow another strand of white hair. I’m starving and you better have the food here before I look another day older!”

Meanwhile, the rest of them were rendered speechless by Skyler’s words.

A resigned Thomas could only nod his head. “Understood, I’ll get the food right away.”

This is my life, this is my quest. One word from these Masters and I’ve got to run around to complete their orders. Gosh, I ‘love’ my life!

He turned around to leave the room and shut the door as he walked out.

Veronica remained in bed for quite some time before looking at Matthew once again as he got up and walked to her side. “How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt?”

She shook her head and looked at him as well as the trio by the side. There were some things that she kept to herself and left unasked.

“You’ve met Caleb and Drew before and this guy here is Miguel; you can address him as Miggy. They’re my close friends, so you can say whatever’s on your mind.” He took the chair handed over by Skyler and sat next to her with a tender expression on his face.

As soon as Veronica heard Matthew’s words, she finally felt at ease as she asked, “Did you get the doctors to run tests on me? Have you found out what’s the creature that crawled itself into my body?”

This was the thing she was most concerned about.

After all, there was an unknown living object that had burrowed into her body, so it was definitely a terrifying matter.

She refused to be diagnosed with any medical conditions at such a young age just to die at a young age after that.

Pain flashed across Matthew’s elongated eyes, but he wore a calm front. “You’re quite fortunate. After the doctors ran some tests on you, they managed to locate the creature; they made a slit on your wrist and released the creature.”

As he spoke, he lifted her left wrist and pointed at the medium-sized wound on her wrist. He described everything with a flair. In order to ensure that Veronica would believe his words, he had actually asked the doctor to make a little cut on her wrist. However, it was just a minor slit made.

“What was that thing then?” She was quite persistent in her questions.

“It was an invisible insect and special equipment was needed to identify the creature. In order to avoid further repercussions, the hospital disposed of the creature immediately.”

“What?! It’s been disposed of? You should’ve saved it for me!” Veronica stared at Matthew intently and the more she did so, the more she thought he was lying.

Veronica was smart, but so was Matthew. He took out his phone and showed her his well-prepared evidence. “I couldn’t snap a good picture, so I told the person who saw that creature to draw a picture of it.”

He placed the screen in front of Veronica. She stared intently before she realized that the insect in the drawing resembled the one on the Michelin logo.
