Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

“Hello, I‘m Titus Peel, the Dawnpol Village‘s chief‘s son. My father is a bit busy at the inoment, so I‘m here to greet you on his behalf.”

When Matthew was still absent–mindedly looking at Veronica, a dark–skinned, lanky and radiant man walked toward them to introduce himself.

Titus, who looked to be just a bit over his twenties, spoke standard English as he go. off an honest and kind aura.

Reaching for a friendly handshake, Matthew also responded in kind. “I‘m Matthew. Matthew Kings.”11

After Veronica had finished distributing the snacks, the children all skipped away happily as they were replaced by the villagers starting to gather around them.

“Hello, I‘m Veronica Murphy.”

She walked to Titus and shook his hand.

“Welcome to Dawnpol Village.”

The honest Titus smiled while greeting her.

“I‘m here as a representative of the Konig Company. There‘s more stuff for the kids that will soon arrive,” she explained.

“Thank you, thank you. I sincerely thank you on behalf of my village. Come, I‘ve prepared lunch at home. You two should come over and we‘ll have lunch together,” he stated to the both of them.

As the onlooking villagers did not possess much fluency in the language, they all silently stood by the side. Although they did not converse with Veronica and Matthew, each villager still had a warm smile on their faces.

After that, Veronica and Matthew followed Titus to where his home was.

On the way there, Titus passionately introduced the ongoings of the village so that the two of them could better understand the situation of the village.

When she arrived at Titus‘ home, Veronica saw Quincy and Matthew‘s two… bodyguards?

Veronica wasn‘t fully sure about the two men‘s identity, yet judging from their fit and muscular bodies, she knew that they weren‘t ordinary people.

Tinus‘ home and the village were both located at the base of the mountain. Even though his family was the richest in Dawnpol Village, they only had five mud brick houses with all of their roofs lined with green tiles. Behind their house was a huge bamboo forest while a pond was situated at the front of the entrance.

As one stood at the entrance and heard the sounds from the rooster, dogs and the water flowing beside, they would feel like they had traveled to an unknown piece of paradise as the stunning scenery and gentle weather greeted them.

If it were not for the fact that a few great mountains had blocked the way from here to the outside world, it was possible for the place to be developed into a tourist attraction.

As they entered Titus‘ home, they all sat and started to chat. It wasn‘t before long that the village chief returned.

He was also a dark–skinned man and had a forehead full of wrinkles. Although he wasn‘t a very tall person, he was also slightly hunched. His attire consisted of a thin sleeveless white vest, baggy black pants and a pair of flip–flops made from grass while a dark blue towel was wrapped around his head as he held a smoking pipe in his hand.

“Welcome to my house. I‘m sorry for the delay as I had something to deal with earlier.”

Although the chief‘s English wasn‘t extremely fluent since it was mixed with the local dialect, one could still guess what he was trying to get across.

After greeting the chief, they all sat down and began to eat.

The lunch was very extravagant as the chief had prepared a goose and chicken for them.

After lunch, he said, “Veronica, you can stay in my home as you are a girl. I have a spacious room with a door, so I hope it‘ll be much more convenient for you. As for the men, they can make do with the houses of my neighbors, Mrs. Ritz and Mr. Dune.”

“Okay, thank you chief. We‘ll follow with your arrangements.”

Veronica felt extremely grateful.

Taking her luggage with her, she entered her allocated room.

The room came with only a small window, which meant that it was dimly lit. However, she had to admit that the room was indeed tidy and clean.

After placing her belongings on the floor, she saw Matthew standing by the door as soon as she turned around. It looked like he was mysteriously looking at her.

“What, are you jealous? Don‘t tell me you‘re even going to fight over a room with me?”

Glancing at him, she smirked. “Let‘s go and see your room then.”

“It‘s fine. We‘ve already set up a bed in the cow shed. We‘ll be sleeping there tonight,” Mrs. Ritz replied.
