Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 441

Chapter 441 You Are Crazy What should I do?

Veronica was filled with worry. At this moment, a servant jogged over. “Miss Murphy, Old Mrs. Kings is looking for you.” “Okay. Got it.”

Veronica stood up and went to Elizabeth’s yard. In the living room, Conrad was gone, but Matthew was in there. “Grandma?”

Veronica glanced at Matthew, then looked at Elizabeth. “Are you looking for me?”

“Come and sit.” Elizabeth patted the seat next to her to hint Veronica to go over. Veronica went over to sit beside Elizabeth. “What’s the matter?”

“Veronica, what do you think about Conrad?”

Elizabeth held Veronica’s hand affectionately and she said that with an amiable tone. It made Veronica feel all warm and fuzzy. Veronica looked at Elizabeth. However, Veronica’s initially warm heart turned cold when she saw Matthew from the corner of her eye.

The coldness lingered on her body and made her feel the bone-chilling cold. It was the feeling of heartache and loss.

“Grandma, I-I won’t express my opinion regarding Uncle Conrad. A-After all, I’m—”

“You are my family!”

Elizabeth guessed what Veronica was going to say, so she reprimanded, “As long as I’m still here, you have the right to speak.”

She patted Veronica’s hand. “Tell me if Matthew bullies you. Although you broke up with him, I will still make him pay.”

Veronica felt honored to be favored by Elizabeth.

However, Veronica wouldn’t take advantage of Elizabeth’s love.

Veronica pursed her lips and smiled. “Okay, Grandma. You really love me the most.”

“Tell me, then—what do you think about Conrad?” Elizabeth asked again.

Veronica frowned and lowered her head for a while. In the end, she sighed. “In my opinion, although the Kings Family is wealthy, the heir candidates would not have proper leadership and decision-making power just because they have a child. To make it fair, let Uncle Conrad and Matt—I mean, Matthew compete with each other. The result will be more convincing.”

She did not choose a side and spoke from a neutral standpoint.

It was because Veronica knew that Matthew would never lose to Conrad.

Elizabeth nodded when she heard that. “I agree with you.”

“Hahaha! Grandma, this is just my humble opinion. Choosing an heir is important; you should think twice.”

“Okay, I understand.” Elizabeth patted Veronica’s hand and smiled kindly. “You are smart.”

“I’m not. I will be arrogant if you praise me more.”

Elizabeth chuckled cheerfully, then said, “Alas, I am old and frail. I will rest for a while. You and Matthew should rest too. Then, you will accompany me to the hospital for a check-up.”

Elizabeth took great care to create opportunities for Matthew and Veronica.

They could see through Elizabeth’s intention, but they both pretended to be unknowing.

“Okay, Grandma. I’ll help you to rest.” Veronica helped Elizabeth to the bedroom to rest.

When Veronica came out, Matthew had already left.

Truth was, it would be a lie for her to say that she was not sad.

Veronica stood there, lowered her eyes, and stared at the ground in a daze.

After a while, she sighed and walked out of the living room.

However, a figure suddenly appeared when she stepped out of the door and she bumped into it.

Due to inertia, Veronica leaned back and Matthew put his arms around her waist, bringing her into his arms.

Matthew’s breath held a hint of smoke, and a strong nicotine scent hit Veronica’s face.

She tilted her head and looked to the left of the door, noticing that there was a little soot and cigarette butts. Then, she realized that Matthew did not leave but had instead leaned against the door to smoke.

When she was walking out, he had just finished his last puff and threw the cigarette butt to walk to the room. Then, they collided.

“Are you alright?”

Matthew involuntarily said a word of concern from the bottom of his heart.

However, he immediately regretted it after he said it.

I shouldn’t show my care to Veronica before him.

Matthew let go of Veronica, and she took a step back instinctively. However, she had forgotten that this was the Kings Residence. The quaint house had a history of a hundred years and each room had a step at the door, so she tripped as she leaned back.

“Ah!”

She fell and instinctively let out a soft cry.

Initially, she thought Matthew would hold her, but he didn’t.

He stood there blankly, ignoring her fall.

“Ouch!”

Veronica hit the ground hard. Her behind hurt from the fall and she couldn’t help but gasp.

“Matthew, c-couldn’t you have given me a hand?” she grumbled while crawling up from the group in embarrassment.

“Why should I do that? It doesn’t matter to me if you fall. You can’t blame me for you being clumsy,”

Matthew said coldly and turned away.

It wasn’t until he turned around and left that Veronica saw Conrad standing a few meters behind.

He saw everything, and his eyes widened in shock. Raising his eyebrows, he looked at Matthew leaving and walked over to Veronica. “Little Roni? Matthew is… Is everything alright between the both of you?”

Veronica flicked the dust off her body and glared at Conrad. “It’s none of your business.”

“Indeed. However, you are Matthew’s girlfriend, so why is he ignoring you?”

“Can you stop talking about him to me? You’re crazy!”

Veronica stomped her feet angrily, pushed Conrad away, and left angrily.

Conrad was puzzled at Veronica’s attitude.

Are they…

“Haha, interesting.” He smiled, but the smile was meaningful.

And so, he made a call. “Find out what happened to Matthew and Veronica.”

After hanging up the phone, Conrad walked into the living room and sat on the chair as he played with his cell phone leisurely.

After half an hour, his cell phone rang.

“What’s the situation?”

“President Kings, someone said Young Master Matthew had broken up with Miss Murphy three months ago, and the two haven’t seen each other since then.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

Conrad hung up the call. Clutching the phone with his right hand, he thoughtfully tapped the screen with his fingers.

That’s why I didn’t see them returning to the Kings Residence. Not to mention they did not go anywhere together in the past three months. It seems like they broke up.

“Hmph! I knew Matthew wouldn’t be loyal to a woman. He throws the woman away after scoring her.”
