Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 384 Veronica Becomes an Assistant

Matthew felt bad about what he had done once he saw how angry she was. He even felt a little guilty.

While he usually had a lot of self-control, it had begun to weaken ever since he started spending time with Veronica, especially after she agreed to be with him.

“I’ll do my best to control myself next time,” Matthew reassured her gently. “Breakfast’s ready, so come to the table once you’ve washed up.”

“Go away! I don’t want to look at you!” Veronica rolled her eyes and stormed into the bedroom, slamming the door behind her.

She went into the bathroom to get ready and had a change of clothes.

Veronica had planned to leave for the office in a huff, but as soon as she opened the bedroom door, she was hit by the mouth-watering scent of breakfast.

Her stomach began to growl. She was starving after a laborious night, and the delicious smells whet her appetite even further.

Matthew came over to her and grabbed her hand. “Come on, let’s eat. I’ll drop you off at the office afterward.”

“Why would I let you drop me off? Isn’t that the same as announcing our relationship to the world?” Veronica glared at him and snorted before stomping off toward the dining table.

There was a bowl of prawn porridge on the table.

It seemed like porridge was the only thing Matthew knew how to cook.

Veronica got her spoon and gave it a good mix before looking up at Matthew, who was sitting across from her and staring at her with a pitiful expression.

Her anger had nearly run its course by now.

She continued mixing the porridge as she instructed Matthew, “From today onward, go back to your own house.”

Matthew did not know how to react. He wanted to say that this was his home too, but he was too afraid to actually do so.

Too afraid, huh?

He never thought that there would come a time when he would hesitate so much over a simple sentence.

“Oh, right. This house is yours too,” Veronica added in realization. “That’s fine. I’ll go back to my house tonight.”
