Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 350

Chapter 350 Crayson Meets the Larson Couple The next day after Veronica woke up, the hotel attendant served her breakfast, and someone knocked on her door while she was eating.

“Who’s that?” she asked. The person outside immediately answered, “Miss Murphy, it’s me, Thomas.”

Thomas? She couldn’t help but be amazed at his speed. So, she got up and opened the door to her suite.

“It’s been a while, Miss Murphy.” Thomas stood before her, smiled politely, and bowed deeply. “I apologize to you for my prudent behavior from before. I’m sorry for being so shallow!”

That time at Encounters Bridal Store, Matthew had asked Thomas to bring a drafted contract to Veronica to sign. As the ‘share’ column was empty, Veronica needed to fill it up. In the end, Thomas, who was seated across from her at that time, merely took a look and thought that she had assigned ninety-five percent of the shares for herself.

Because of that, Thomas had said many mean things to her and even complained a lot about her to Matthew after he returned to Spinfluence Group.

As it turned out, Veronica was actually giving ninety-five percent of the shares to his boss.

It was like a slap on his face, and not only that, he was even assigned to Cory Island for training for quite some time.

Veronica scrutinized him carefully and felt that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for quite a while. He definitely got tanner as he sported a buzz cut on his head which gave off the feeling that he was a hardworking man.

“Apology? It’s fine.”

Of course, Veronica was a little upset about what happened that day, but after she learned that Matthew had sent him off to train at Cory Island, she knew he had received his fair share of punishment.

In addition, Thomas now had lost the fair skin he had when she first met him and so much weight.

From that, she could tell he had been through many hardships.

Therefore, she opened the door as she welcomed him. “Come on in.”

He nodded and stepped in. After he returned from Cory Island, Troy contacted him and filled him up on the recent events.

Hence, he knew that his boss cared a lot about Veronica, so he was also polite and respectful to her, not daring to offend her.

The hardships on Cory Island were something he didn’t want to experience again.

“Miss Murphy, this key is for you,” he said, handing a key to her.

Puzzled, she asked, “What’s this?”

“Boss bought the apartment next to yours after you moved in. He said that since your master is here now, you can just live next to him.”

Thomas didn’t even know about this, but from the small details, he could tell that Matthew really liked Veronica very much.

Thousands and thousands of beautiful girls resided in Bloomstead, and until now, Thomas couldn’t understand what was so special about Veronica that could have his boss so in love with her.

After Veronica heard his words, she lowered her gaze to that key, feeling very touched as a warm affection bubbled in her heart.

It seems that Matthew has done so much for me in secret, she thought.

The whole time, she thought that he didn’t know where she was living after she moved to a new neighborhood, but unexpectedly, not only did he know, he even bought the apartment next to hers.

She took the key from Thomas. “Please tell him thank you.”

“Boss said that he doesn’t want to hear you say thank you.” From the beginning, Matthew could already guess what she would reply, so he had directly instructed Thomas and told him to pass the message.

“Boss also said that you’ll have to take care of yourself. If there’s anything, you can just tell me to do it, and I’ll put in my best efforts.”

“Okay, I happen to have something that needs you to get done.”

At the moment, Veronica didn’t have anyone she could trust, so she could only rely on Matthew’s man.

This was a point that affected her deeply because she wanted to find a reliable person, but she didn’t have enough money. Unfortunately, her ideas could only remain as wishful thinking.

“Please tell me what to do, Miss Murphy.” Nodding slightly, Thomas was very polite.

The way he was right now made her very uncomfortable because he had always disliked her in the past, and there was always a hint of indifference and condescension whenever he looked at her.

Such a big contrast was rather discomfiting, but she said, “You don’t have to be so formal with me.

We’re friends.”

“Yes, Miss Murphy.”

At his response, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to change his current demeanor, so she strode to the dining table. “You must have skipped breakfast since you arrived so early. Take a seat and eat with me. We’ll talk while eating.”

Although Thomas was a little hesitant, he was also quite hungry. After he returned early in the morning, he had been busy with tasks until now.

Veronica repeatedly invited him when she noticed his hesitance before he took a seat stiffly across from her, and they ate together.

While they were enjoying their meal, she said, “Help me to… keep an eye on Conrad for a while.”

“Uncle Conrad?”

“Yeah. Mainly keep an eye out on who he’s meeting and contacting. I want to know all of that.”

At the end of the day, she was still worried about Yvonne and that Conrad would hurt her.

A girl who was so stubborn in love, even if she had lost a little of her rationale because of it, Veronica couldn’t bear to see her badly hurt in the end.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together; if Conrad and Xavier could be so close, it showed that he wasn’t a good person to begin with, but he better not go overboard with things.

After she instructed Thomas with this task, she left with him to go home, where Crayson was eating at the dining table. Next to him stood Gaston, the private investigator whom she had hired.

“Hmph, the cheeks of you to leave an old man here by himself! Have you eaten yet?”

Seated at the dining table, Crayson took a bite of a sandwich and a sip of white wine.

He loved to drink, and every morning and evening, he would have two glasses of white wine, which had already become his habit.

At first, she thought he was drinking too much, which was not good for his health, but after a checkup at the hospital, she found that it didn’t affect him. So, she wasn’t concerned about it anymore.

“Heh, I’m just worried about waking you up.” Then, with a smile, she walked to the seat across from him and sat as she started chatting with him.

In the morning, she brought Crayson to walk around Bloomstead, and in the afternoon, she took him to Encounters Bridal Shop.

However, the shop had changed its name to ‘First Meeting’.

First Meeting? Encounters? She wondered if Matthew changed the name to First Meeting and reopened the shop after she had announced its closure because it was named Encounters before this.

The shop was being renovated, and Veronica assigned Crayson to supervise the work there. After all, he had nothing to do all day, so it was better to get him something to do.

Initially, she wanted to let him rest a few days before starting work, but he insisted on starting work early because he was bored. Finally, out of wits, she agreed to his demands in exasperation.

The next day, Veronica returned to the Kings Residence to visit Elizabeth.

Meanwhile, Crayson, who was at the bridal shop, slipped out silently, sneaked to a spot without any surveillance, and stopped a cab before hopping on. “To Delight Cafe, please.”

Ten minutes later, at Delight Cafe, Crayson went upstairs in familiar steps and entered a private room, where the people waiting inside were none other than Floch and his wife, Rachel.

At the sight of Crayson, they immediately got to their feet. “Hello, Master Crayson.”
