Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 Bringing Veronica and Conrad Together

Holding a basket of fruits, Veronica ambled toward Elizabeth. “Grandma.”

Elizabeth handed over the grain that she fed the poultry to the maid. “Roni, you’re here.”

“Yeah, I miss you, Grandma.” Veronica smiled and clung onto the old lady’s arm before looking at the poultry. “It’s nice to rear some chickens and ducks as a pastime.”

Elizabeth couldn’t work because of her old age, so it was best for her to indulge in something to lift her mood.

“You’re right. I gotta at least do something to kill time.” Elizabeth pulled Veronica in the direction of the parlor. “Let’s go inside. It’s windy.”

Matthew, who had been there the whole time, received no attention and trailed behind them with a helpless smile.

“Grandma, you previously said… said…” Veronica sat next to Elizabeth, hesitating to bring up the topic.

Only then did Veronica let out a sheepish smile. “Didn’t you say that you were going to introduce me to someone? Is it still valid?”

When Matthew heard that, his footsteps came to a halt, and the gentleness of his countenance was replaced with seriousness.

At the same time, Conrad, who had been staying at the residence, came to the living room after knowing they had arrived.

He happened to hear Veronica’s question, which elicited a smile on his face. “Finally? After this whole time?”

“Of course, it’s still valid!” Elizabeth laughed merrily.

She had been in a sour mood due to Tiffany’s fake pregnancy, but thanks to Veronica, who visited her often lately, she was able to live her days happily. Her affections for Veronica were genuine.

“Uncle Conrad, don’t tease me! You’re embarrassing me.” Veronica didn’t mind the joke as she deliberately ignored the stoic Matthew.

“Speaking of it,” Elizabeth clasped Veronica’s hands as she looked at Conrad. “Conrad, you’re still single, aren’t you? I’ve always wanted the two of you to be together. Since the two of you are here, why don’t you guys think about it?”

“What?” Veronica shook her head without hesitation. “No, Grandma. Uncle Conrad is nine years older than I am.”

Back then, a drunk Howard accidentally spent the night with Conrad’s mother, hence the youngest kid was born. He was two years older than Matthew, but there was a nine-year age gap between him and Veronica.

Sitting on the chair, Matthew held a cup of water that was served by the maid. Unbeknownst to everyone present, his eyes were flaring with rage.
