Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 534

Chapter 534 We’re Going to Get Married “Do you know how mountain bandits get married?” Matthew’s question came out of nowhere, causing Veronica to freeze before she heard him continue, “They kidnap their wives.”

The moment he said that, Matthew’s expression turned serious as he cupped her chin and said meaningfully, “Roni, listen carefully. Once you’ve slept with me, you’re mine. In the future, if you dare to abandon me, it doesn’t matter if I have to go to the ends of the earth, but I will definitely get you back.”

He was still joking seconds ago, but he began warning her out of nowhere, causing Veronica to speculate inwardly if he had already guessed what she was thinking.

“I wouldn’t want to run away.” Veronica pursed her lips and smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his lips. “My darling is so fit, handsome, and rich. You won’t even be able to drive me away from a rare man like this.”

Though she deliberately acted intimate and said that she would not leave, Matthew could sense from her faintly twinkling gaze that she was lying. However, he didn’t point it out.

“Sigh. Forget it, let’s get down to business.” Veronica lay on the bed and frowned slightly. “I’m going to see Master Crayson today. Do you want to come with me?”

“Yes, I…”

Before he could finish, Veronica waved her hand. “Since you’re quite busy, it’s best for you to not go. I can just visit Master Crayson alone.”

Saying that, she let out another sigh. “After I started working at the auto shop, I’ve only gone to work for a day, and I’ve been on leave ever since. Tell Miguel for me, or I’ll be in trouble if they don’t give me my commission.”

It cost her a slap to finally sell a car at the auto shop. If she didn’t receive her commission because she didn’t go to work, it would be a big loss.

“I’ll let Miggy know later.”

Knowing that Veronica didn’t want him to visit Crayson with her, Matthew didn’t force her. After the two of them washed up and changed their clothes, they drove away from Twilight Condominium.

As Crayson was still working as a security guard at First Meeting, he was still in Bloomstead, but he had the day off today and was resting in his apartment.

The day before, Veronica and Crayson agreed to meet that day, so he had taken a leave of absence from the wedding company. With nothing to do in the morning, he was walking around the neighborhood when he saw Veronica getting out of Matthew’s car.

“Little brat?” His clouded eyes lit up with a kind smile when he saw Veronica.

Ever since Veronica left for Castron, Crayson had been living in fear, and it was only after learning she had safely returned home that he was able to let out a sigh of relief. It was as if he was an elderly father who had watched his child grow up and was worried whenever she was away.

However, when he recalled that Veronica did not come to see him after returning to Destor, he couldn’t help but feel jealous. Looking furious, he shot her a glare. “I thought you had forgotten about me.”

Upon hearing his voice, Veronica tilted her head and looked over, only to see Crayson walking over with a frown and a gloomy expression, his hands behind his back.

“Hehe, hello, Master Crayson.” Veronica smiled fawningly and skipped over to him.

However, she did not expect Crayson to glare at her, directly avoiding her extended arms, before he went around and walked straight to the side of Matthew’s car.

Crayson refusing her offered embrace made her stomp her feet with anger.

“What’s wrong? Are you closer to Matthew than me now?” Crayson asked bitterly.

Naturally, Veronica could understand the meaning of his tone. She smiled and immediately walked to Crayson’s side, reaching out and wrapping her arms around his neck. “Oh, are you jealous?”

Though she teased him on the surface, she felt extraordinarily happy in her heart. She knew that Crayson treated her like his own child and had watched her grow up, so it was inevitable that he would be jealous now that he felt she only had eyes for Matthew.

“Move aside. Out of sight, out of mind; I’d much rather not see you every day.” Crayson waved his hand with a look of boredom, but the corners of his mouth carried a smile that could not be hidden.

Just then, Matthew came out of the car and closed the door before greeting Crayson. “Master Crayson, why are you downstairs?”

Neither Matthew nor Veronica knew that Crayson had been so preoccupied with thoughts of them that he could not sit still at home and eventually came downstairs to wait for them. However, he naturally would not voice his thoughts.

“It was suffocating in the house, so I came out to get some fresh air.” He roughly came up with an excuse and brushed it off before saying, “Let’s go into the house and talk.”

Veronica frowned slightly, a glint flickering past her eyes as she intimately held onto Crayson’s arm.

“Matt still has work to do. You should let him go to the company. He has a lot of work piled up in the past few days when he went to Castron.”

She had some personal matters she wanted to talk to Crayson that she did not want Matthew to be present for.

Matthew understood Veronica’s thoughts and immediately agreed, “Yes, there’s still some work to be done at…”

“Put all of that aside.” Crayson glared at Matthew. “Your company’s business is important, but it’s not that urgent. Follow me upstairs.” His final three words were said in a commanding tone.

Crayson was no less shrewd than the other two, and they could know each other’s thoughts with just one look, so how could he not tell that Veronica wanted Matthew to leave? Still, he did have something important to discuss with them.

Matthew stood in front of him and did not respond, but raised his fisted hand and gently tapped his nose, raising his eyes to look at Veronica, as if asking for her opinion.

Veronica shrugged helplessly. “Since Master Crayson has spoken, let’s go up together.”

So, the three of them headed into the apartment together.

The place where Crayson was living was the suite next to Veronica’s, and it was the same one that Matthew had bought before.

When they entered the living room, Crayson gestured for them to sit down while he made tea for them.

Sitting next to a teapoy, he prepared the tea cups while waiting for the water to boil.

After Crayson made a pot of tea while conversing with them, he placed a cup in front of Matthew and looked at him with raised eyebrows. “What are your plans with Roni?”

Immediately, he went straight to the point. Earlier, he had aggressively forced Matthew to follow them upstairs just to talk to them about this matter. Perhaps for others, finding a partner was just a matter of being a good match for each other, but Veronica had a different status and background, and was destined to have a future full of ups and downs, so he needed to know what Matthew’s intentions were.

Hearing that, Veronica was stunned and looked at Crayson in astonishment.

Then, she looked at Matthew, only to see him calmly picking up the cup on the table and blowing on the hot steam of the tea before he took a small sip and said, “I, Matthew Kings, have never regretted anything.”

With this sentence, he was undoubtedly making a statement to Crayson and Veronica.

Veronica was not particularly surprised by his answer, but only let out an imperceptible sigh that was filled with pressure. She knew how good Matthew treated her, but she also deeply loved him, so how could she bear to watch him step into danger?
