Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 437 Grandma’s Missing

“My pupil?” Veronica was dumbfounded. “Yeah, that’s right. Do you reckon I’m good enough to learn from you?” Stephen pointed at his nose and looked at her expectantly.

“Uhh… Well… Hahaha…” She revealed an awkward smile. She did not expect Stephen to be so obsessed with martial arts to this extent.

During the first half of last year, she had not been practicing martial arts properly; instead, for the later half of the year, Crayson had implemented a rigorous training regimen for her. Earlier this year, he had even come up with different ways to train her despite her injuries.

When she had injured her left hand, he made her train to fight by just using one hand. For the entire time, she had been forced to wake to train at about 4.00AM and she was not given a break either after she arrived home from work at night after dinner. She was thoroughly exhausted from all that training.

Thanks to her dayjob and business with Vincere Games, Veronica was able to improve leaps under the immense pressure and discipline. The extent of her improvement was impressive to the point where she was astonished too.

It was merely a year and even if she tried hard, she knew that there would be a limit to her advancing. However, she seemed to have a nagging sense that there was still limitless potential within her to be discovered.

She had once asked Crayson about her condition, but he had merely brushed her off by saying, “Perhaps you’re now blessed with some talent because of your idiocy.”

His words sounded too perfunctory, so naturally Veronica did not trust a word of that. However, she did not pursue it any further.

“Wow! That was an awesome performance there, you fierce one! I can’t believe that you’ve gained a pupil just like that from visiting me at work! You’re one of a kind!”

Larry was being a jerk and he continued to tease her.

Slightly resigned, Veronica mentioned, “Stephen, you’re great in martial arts and we’re an equal match for each other, so there is no need for you—”

“No. No. No.” Stephen shook his head and pointed at the high heels Veronica had on with his finger. “You fought me while wearing high heels nearly four inches tall. You haven’t even fought with your best effort, so I know that you’ve been holding back. How about you just agree to be my master?”

Even though he was in his thirties, he looked rather goofy as he revealed a sincere look when he spoke and it was hard to reject him.

At that moment, the director yelled out with his foghorn, “Stephen, are you ready? It’s your turn.”

“I’m coming.” Stephen nodded and placed both hands on Veronica’s shoulders. “I’ll treat you to a meal once I finish shooting this.”

After saying that, he clutched Larry’s hands. “Don’t let your friend leave.”
