Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 618 The Ongoing Wedding Ceremony The moment Veronica tried to leave, Matthew pulled her into his embrace with his arms around her waist. âLet me look at you a little longer.â
Bending over, he kissed her lips as though he could never get enough of it. His warm lips captured hers and the faint cologne fragrance enveloped her. That familiar scent stirred her breathing and heartbeat.
Since it was a happy occasion, it took a little intimate affection in such a fluttering atmosphere for her to fall into the abyss. Knock. Knock. Knock.
âMatt, are you done?â Skylerâs voice resounded beyond the door while the couple were being all lovey-
dovey. Matthewâs movement came to a halt as his expression darkened. Slightly irritated, he pulled Veronica out of the bedroom.
âHurry! The guests are waiting for you guys,â urged Shirley, who was present as well. They headed downstairs and strode through the lobby to toast with the guests table by table. Despite the music playing in the background, it could not drown the gushing.
At some point, the couple finally walked to Conradâs table, where George, Pepper, Nicholas, and Delphi were around too. Matthew made a toast with them at the same time.
âUncle George, Aunt Pepper, Uncle Nicholas, Aunt Delphi, thank you for coming to our wedding,â said Matthew gently while holding his glass of champagne to clink with their glasses.
Even if they were usually at odds with Matthew, he did not mind them, since it was Veronica and his big day. He would not want to ruin the wonderful wedding.
George glanced at Veronica while sitting. âMatthew, youâre still too young. I hope you wonât regret it in future.â
Pepper added, âVeronica is indeed pretty, but the prettier a woman is, the more dangerous she is.â
Delphi rolled her eyes at Veronica. âI just donât get it. How could you fall for a woman with no class like her? She beat us up that day! Iâm not letting her off the hook that easily!â
Nicholas snorted coldly before gulping his drink in one-go. âOld Mrs. Kings is giving you too much liberty. I think sheâs on a spell or she wouldnât have supported you guys.â
Then, Matthewâs cousins began to stop them in ones and twos. âDad, cut out the nonsense. Itâs Matthewâs wedding.â
âYeah, Mom. I think Veronica is a knowledgeable one. They are a match made in heaven!â âGeez!
Uncle George, Aunt Pepper, it doesnât matter as long as Matthew likes her, isnât it?â
âItâs destined for them to love each other. I think theyâre the perfect match, though. Iâm sure about one thingâtheyâre a good-looking pair.â
âIâm with Scarlet. I think sheâs right.â
â¦
Matthewâs cousins had a different attitude toward him; they stood up and gave their sincere wishes to the couple. Matthew was displeased by the elderly seniors and almost drove them out, yet Veronica shook his hand lightly and glared at him, motioning him not to act recklessly.
Thus, he stomached it in the end. After looking at his younger cousins, he turned his head to introduce them to her, âRoni, this is Scarlet, Cleo, Riley, and Jody.â
Next, he looked at the gang while pointing at her. âVeronica.â Since Flavian was the eldest, Matthew was naturally the eldest amongst his cousins. âVeronica, congratulations! Wishing you all the love and happiness.â
âBest wishes!â
âIâm hoping for your happiness.â
âVeronica is so pretty! Lucky you, Matt!â
â¦
They made a toast with Veronica, who returned a polite smile. âThank you so much.â
After that, the couple approached Conrad. Since Conrad was Matthewâs uncle, he was obliged to attend the wedding. However, he did not act suspicious that day despite their history. Perhaps it was because of Elizabeth⦠or other reasons.
