Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 764 Telling the Others About the Gathering During lunch, they gathered around the dining table. Veronica was carefully chewing on the food Matthew had prepared and could not help but notice how much his cooking skills had improved.
Yet, such a perfect man could give his life for her and even willingly become a servant. She took in all of his sacrifices, and the guilt inside her increased as the days passed.
âBy the way, Iâm going out tonight.â As she stabbed a roasted squash, she took a bite and looked down.
âLiam invited me out.â
A second ago, there were still sounds of cutlery hitting porcelain plates, but as soon as her words fell, the dining table was plunged into silence. Even with her head lowered, Veronica could feel burning gazes aimed at her, but she remained calm and continued eating while pretending not to notice them.
Craysonâs expression was as dark as storm clouds as he instinctively looked at Destiny opposite him, meeting her eyes. Before he could say anything, Mateo could not hold back his temper and spoke up, âYouâre going out with Liam? Roni, canât you tell that heâs trying to hook up with you?â His words were very straightforward.
After scooping some baked fish onto her plate, Veronica deboned her piece of fish while replying calmly, âOf course, I can.â
âYet youâre still going out with him?â
Raising his voice, Mateo had the words âIâm not happyâ written all over his face, and he was looking at her like she was an idiot.
âZac and the others will be there as well. They are all my acquaintances.â In the end, she explained a little. While speaking, she deliberately glanced at Crayson and noticed him releasing a sigh of relief after she said that.
âGrandpa, arenât you going to do something about this?â Mateo looked at Crayson, waiting for him to chastise her, but Crayson did not make a sound after a long while.
Instead, he continued to eat his food. âShe has her ideas, so thereâs no use for me to say anything.â
âFine, then. Iâll go too,â Mateo added.
âNo way!â
âNo way!â
Before Mateo could finish speaking, Destiny and Craysonâs voices immediately sounded as they mercilessly rejected that idea.
Mateo was at a loss for words. With a tense expression, his mouth was still hanging at his last word as he looked at Destiny with a stunned expression, which instantly turned gloomy.
âYou guys⦠You⦠Fineâ¦â After realizing that his words were futile, he turned to Veronica and pleaded, âRoni, bring me with you. Iâll be very obedient and wonât pull your leg or cause any trouble.â
âNo need. Iâll bring Iron Pillar with me. Heâll suffice.â
Heâs my husband, so I must bring him with me.
âThat Iron Pillar is an idiot who canât translate. How can bringing him be more useful than bringing me?â
Idiot?!
Veronicaâs grip on her fork froze slightly as she rolled her eyes while silently reprimanding, Your entire family is an idiot!
âAll of them can speak English, so thereâs no need for you to translate anything.â After saying that, she put down her cutlery. âIâm done eating, so Iâll be studying in my room.â
âHey, wait. Roni, donât go! Roniâ¦â
Though Mateo kept calling her, she continued walking without looking back, greatly disappointing him.
He let out a resigned sigh and glanced at the kitchen as a plan appeared in his mind.
Subsequently, he eagerly gathered the dishes on the table after their meals and childishly approached Matthew, offering him a cigarette. âIron, how about taking a smoke?â
Matthew, who was busy cleaning up, placed a tablecloth on the side and washed his hands while shaking his head. âIâm sorry, but I donât smoke.â
âYou donât smoke?â
Frowning, Mateo lowered his head and played with the cigarette in his hand. âSince you donât, excuse me for a bit.â He then sprinted out of the kitchen and returned after a while.
