Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 377 Caleb Wants to Sponsor the Young Lady

Caleb stepped forward and pulled Abby up, only to realize then that the back of her hand had been split open by the woman’s whippings, and there were streaks of blood where she was hit.

The open chilblain wounds also had fresh blood flowing out of them. Without waiting for Caleb to say another word, Abby retracted her hand as she turned around and ran into the house.

He continued to stand where he was, but he was gradually feeling embarrassed and redundant. After watching her enter the house, he shifted his gaze to glare at the woman instead. “Even though she is your family member, domestic violence is a crime. You can still get arrested! I won’t let this go if there is a next time.”

He only left Abby’s house after he threw out a warning. Matthew was still chopping wood when Caleb returned to Veronica’s house. The rest of them were nowhere to be seen.

The kitchen chimney in the front yard was billowing with smoke. It was obvious that Veronica’s mother was preparing lunch. Caleb pulled out a cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to Matthew. “This is my first time finding out that this is what your muscles are intended for. Chopping wood, eh?” he joked.

Matthew lightly held the cigarette between his lips as Caleb helped him light the end up. Matthew then took a drag, and wisps of smoke came out with his breath as he spoke next, “That mute girl hasn’t even come of age.”

Caleb was lighting his own cigarette with his head lowered when he heard those words. He was stunned for a long second, but he soon continued to light it. “What are you telling me about this?” he asked slowly.

“You make it too obvious,” Matthew raised his eyebrows, and tilted his chin to gesture to Caleb’s pocket.

Caleb looked down again, only to find that the box of chilblain cream he bought was so big that the part with ‘chilblain’ written on it was showing from the top of the pocket.

His thoughts revealed, Caleb and Matthew looked at each other before they leaned against a tree at the side and quietly smoked.

Matthew flicked the cigarette ash and reminded, “She dropped out of high school, and she is mute on top of that. You have to think this through.”

“I want to sponsor her to keep in school.”

“Is this out of charity, or do you have other intentions?” Matthew asked. He knew Caleb too well.

Caleb had never shown interest in any woman. For someone who spent his days at work, he had no time for romances. He definitely didn’t have the time to meddle in the affairs of people who had nothing to do with him.

“I am not as nasty as you think I am.” Caleb snorted softly.
