Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 749 Heâs Jealous Well, he was the son of Tanya, after all. Of course he was proud. âYouâre not even that old, Liam. Stay away from her, or youâre gonna have a knuckle sandwich feast.â Liam was starting to get a little aggressive.
Veronica had to reevaluate her opinion of him. She had thought he was just a nice, nerdy guy who couldnât fight, but now he seemed to be quite impulsive.
âLay a finger on me, and youâre gonna get it.â âYour mother is nothing, Liam. Sheâs not gonna be the clan leader for long.â
â¦
They kept arguing, which gave Veronica a headache. She left the room, and Hendrey followed. After she went downstairs, Hendrey handed her the bracelet again. âKeep it. I donât take back any gifts I give out.â
Veronica looked at the bracelet and refused, âNo.â She left the tea shop without even saying goodbye, but when she came home, she didnât see Mateo anywhere.
Crayson asked, âWhy are you alone? Whereâs Mateo?â
âHe ran into a friend, so theyâre having a chat,â she gave an excuse and looked at the kitchen, ignoring what Crayson was saying. She could hear Matthew cooking inside and she wanted to take a look, but she went upstairs for fear of getting found out.
A while later, someone knocked on her door. âTime to eat, Miss Veronica.â
Matthew. Veronicaâs heart leaped with delight when she heard his voice. She quickly opened the door, and he came in right away. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pinned her against the door.
Then he bit her lip.
She gasped from the pain and thumped his chest. âAre you mad? They might find out.â
âDonât worry. Theyâre yelling at your little bodyguard.â
âWhat do you mean?â Veronica was confused.
He raised her chin. âYouâre one charismatic woman. You just came to the clan, and already two men are fighting over you. I feel insecure, so what should I do?â
There was complaint and frustration in his voice, and Veronica wanted to laugh, but she felt for him.
She puffed her cheeks and grinned. âNope. I just met Liam today, and heâs getting ideas about me. Itâs as obvious as the sun.â
âIs that so?â He cocked his eyebrow. He didnât look as handsome as he used to under that disguise. In fact, he looked inconspicuous, but the air around him was still indisputably and obviously imposing.
âOf course.â She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. âHeâs not even a tenth of the man you are.â
âReally? Can you elaborate?â He smirked.
âNot much to elaborate. Heâs bad in every aspect?â
âIs that so?â he purred. âYouâve only just met him, but you already know heâs bad in every aspect? How come you never told me youâre a clairvoyant?â
Was that some joke? Veronica got the innuendo, and she said, âIâll tell you tonight, but you need to leave now, or theyâll find us out.â She pushed him away and opened the door so he could leave.
