Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 229 Xavier Struck by His Angry Father

The trio instantly turned to look at Matthew. They noticed that he was seated upright and he had one hand on the table while the other hand, which was bandaged, held on to a wooden spoon. Suddenly, there was a ‘crack’ sound and the wooden spoon broke into two. Frightened, everyone else didn’t even dare to make a sound.

However, Veronica pretended to be oblivious to the situation. “Oh my gosh, Matthew! How did you even break your spoon? Gosh! Seriously?! This restaurant is a lousy one. This is unacceptable. How can a wooden spoon break so easily just like that?”

As she spoke, she reached out and took the wooden spoon from his hand before throwing it into the trash bin.

Subsequently, she took another spoon from the table and handed it to him. “This spoon here is fine. Okay, let’s eat. Don’t starve yourself to death because where else would I be able to find someone to freeload off?”

Her brazen words were intended to trigger his anger.

The other three guys looked from Veronica to Matthew. All of them felt that she was exceptionally brazen but for someone who was generally quite stern, he continued to condone her behavior.

Well, regardless of the situation, he was willing to accept such treatment from her, so it was entirely up to him.

Matthew placed the spoon down and he lost his appetite by then.

He stopped eating, so the other three guys silently placed their cutleries down and they didn’t say anything either.

As for Veronica, she was busy chewing on her food and she looked at them with a confused expression at the same time. “Why have the four of you stopped eating? Is it because the food from Delisio Restaurant tastes bad?”

“I’m not hungry. Hehehe. I don’t have much of an appetite.”

“Yeah. Likewise, I don’t have an appetite either.”

“I ate too much in the afternoon so I’m too full.”

…

Each of them came up with quite feeble excuses.

She held her utensils and served herself a croissant. She took a bite out of it and smacked her lips while tilting her head to look at Matthew, who sat there without moving an inch with a cold look on his face before a complicated look flashed across her clear eyes.
