Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 151
Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Veronica had a vague feeling that there was a plot underway. She had the impression that Matthew bor e no good intentions toward her and was always plotting something against her.
That one sentence of hers rendered Matthew speechless. Hence, they stopped talking They had no idea how long they had walked when they arrived near the Twilight Club. Seeing that Vero nica was about to cross the street to return to her rented apartment, Matthew immediately said, âYou ha ve some things left in my condominium.â
âWhatâs that?â Veronica couldnât recall what she had left in Twilight Condominium.
âClothes.â
âAll those clothes are bought by you, arenât they?â
âYes, but you have already worn them, so now who should I give them to? If you do not want them, Iâll j ust throw them away.â This man knew Veronicaâs personality well, and he knew exactly what to say to
make her succumb.
âAre you sure you do not want them?â
Those clothes were all limited edition from highâend brands. Throwing them all away would be such a waste. Thinking of what he said, she reckoned that Matthew was really a was trel. All the clothes were in good condition, but he had no qualms about throwing them away.
Matthew kept silent and merely nodded slightly.
âWell, then Iâll go to your house and take them away.â Veronica pouted before saying, âBut I better warn you, those are given to me by you and I want to record this down as proof.â
Once bitten, twice shy. After the previous experience, she didnât want to be used by him again.
âAs you wish,â Matthew said nonchalantly.
They then entered Twilight Clubâs lobby, swiped the entry card required for its tal!
l u lui, .
Ding The elevator had arrived at the upper floor. When both of them exited the elevator, Veronica activated h er phoneâs video recording function at once and pointed her phone at Matthewâs face. She then said, â
Come on, evidence in the form of video recording. I am going to record everything down in case you later turn around and sue me for theft, and I would have nothing to explain by then.â
In the past, Matthew was disgusted and enraged by people pointing their phones at him. However, Ver onicaâs mischievous look in doing this made him smile instead. Such a smile was unusual, and his cool âlooking face seemed to warm up.
âWhat are you smiling at?â
Raising her phone, Veronica looked at Matthew, who was being recorded on her phone. His smile was so mesmerizing that it drew her in and made her fall into it in an instant.
Such a lovely face. God must have pampered him so much that he was given a perfect face with no flaws, which was so attractive that it made people forget to breathe.
Veronica swore that if the person before her was not Matthew, she would have gone after him for his attractive face and asked him to be her boyfriend. But, remembering the odious heart beneath this goodâ
looking face, she couldnât allow herself to think any further.
Seeing that he did not answer her question, she continued saying, âYouâre the one who told me to get the clothes, correct? You have to leave some pro of; if not, how am I going to get them?â
âYes, I will give you all the clothes in my wardrobe.â
âThis is merely a broad statement of yours. Come with me.â
She then held his hand, pulled him to the room, and opened his wardrobe. She filmed him again, follow ed by the clothes in the wardrobe, and asked, âThese are the clothes to be given to me, correct?â
âYes.â
âFree of charge, no regrets, and you wouldnât demand any payment from me, right?â
âYesâ
Veronica laughed. âGood, as long as there is evidence.â
Smilingly, she saved that video recording into her phone gallery and kept her phone.
However, just when she was about to tidy up the clothes, Matthewâs eyes lit up. âUm⦠Iâve been playin g a game recently, and youâre skilled in games, right? Could you share some experience with me?â
âWhat?â
A game? When she heard what he said, her jaws dropped. She had previously assumed that it was im possible for him to play games since he was so busy with his work, and it had never occurred to her tha t he would seek her guidance. âGaming is based on experiences; hence, itâs impossible for me to teach you for free.â
Needless to say, her response was well within Matthewâs expectation, with only variations in a few word s. He remained calm and asked, âHow much is your fee to guide me on training three heroes, from now to tomorrow?â
âFrom now until tomorrow, thatâs one full day and one night. Such a fee would be⦠Hmm⦠Let me thin kâ¦â
Thinking of what to say, she pursed her lips with one arm crossed before her and another touching her jaws, and her gleaming eyes looked at him every now and then.
Recalling the time in Twilight Club where he took one million from her, and another time when he called the police to arrest her, she figure d that she would not waste such a scarce opportunity to deal with him. After considering all these, she s aid, âAt least fifty thousand. No discount. My capability is worth it.â
âForget it, Iâll ask Thomas to find someone else tomorrow, and most probably there will be others with a cheaper fee.â
Leaving these words, Matthew turned around and left. Yet, his steps were small with a slow speed, as if he was anticipating something.
âHuh? Hey, wait a minute. We can discuss this.â
How could she let go of such a golden opportunity? Veronica pulled him, walked past him, and stood before him. Smilingly, she said, âTell me how much youâre thinking of. Iâll give you a discount in light of o ur relationship.â
âTen thousand.â
âSh*t, Matthew Kings, youâre going overboard. I merely said I will give you a discount, but not to this ext ent. The most I can deduct is⦠ten thousand.â
âNo, ten thousand to be the entire fee.â
âWell, then thirtyâfive thousand.â
âTen thousand.â
âThirty thousand!â
âFifteen thousand, nothing more.â
âNay, twenty thousand. Twenty thousandâand thatâs final. It cannot be any lesser.â
âTen thousand.â
âMatthew Kings, what do you mean? You said fifteen thousand moments ago, and now itâs ten thousand âFifteen thousand seems to be a little expensive.â
âExpensive, my foot! Youâre so stingy! Forget it, Iâll take fifteen thousand. Transfer this amount to me firs Being so defensive against him, Veronica felt that she was living in trepidation. He transferred fifteen thousand to her on the spot. H âCome on, letâs play the game on the sofa. Iâll teach you.â
Pulling him to the living room, she sat on the sofa happily and forgot she had a wound on her right hand Sitting close to each other, she tilted her head toward him, looked at his phone, and asked, âWhy are yo âBecauseâ¦â You like them.
Throughout her stay in Twilight Club, he had always seen her playing games. Sometimes she played the phone version, and no matter which version, she was good at them. And, having no idea when this thought started, he wanted to play with her, thinking that it might be a fun experience.
âBecause of what?â
He paused his answer midway and began to keep her guessing. This piqued her interest.
âI play them to kill time. Work is dull and boring, you know.â
âOh, such a workaholic like you would find working dull too, huh.â
Veronica didnât know how to react. Nevertheless, she proceeded to ask him about his view and understa When she felt uncomfortable with her position, she simply placed her hands over his shoulder and rested her jaw on it.
