Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1262 Where There's Smoke, There's Fire

"Nonsense! I'm already over ninety pounds." Shirley shook her head as she placed another shrimp dumpling on Skyler's plate. "You should eat more."

Skyler raised an eyebrow and grinned mischievously. "Why? Are you worried that I won't have enough strength?"

However, the innocent Shirley missed the underlying meaning in Skyler's words.

"No, I just want you to eat more."

"Oh, I see now. You are complaining that I haven't taken care of you properly."

"What? I..."

Suddenly, Shirley seemed to have realized something as her face turned red. "What are you talking about?"

He was always a cheeky man. How could he talk about that so often?

"What's going on? I could hear the two of you talking from afar,"

Veronica asked after she entered the living room, holding hands with Iron since the door was left wide open.

"Huh? Veronica and Iron?"

Shirley immediately stood up as she was delighted. "We've just started eating. Would you like to join us?"

"What time is it now? Why are you only having breakfast at such a late hour?"

Then, Veronica glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 9:30 a.m.

"I..."

Shirley felt awkward, and she blushed. She couldn't help but think about what happened last night after hearing Veronica, and her cheeks reddened even more.

"Oh? Did we miss something?"

Veronica tilted her head and glanced at Matthew when she sensed something fishy. They looked at each other and shared a smile.

"Huh? Nothing, really."

Shirley shook her head. "I was too lazy to get out of bed earlier, so I woke up a bit late."

He pretended to believe her as he nodded. "Oh, I see. Why are you so nervous, Shirley? Roni was asking you a simple question."

Although Shirley felt things seemed to have gone wrong, her reaction gave off a feeling of "Where there's smoke, there's fire."

Skyler smiled helplessly and asked Matthew when Shirley blushed. "Why did you come so early?"

"Are you not welcoming me?"

Matthew's question held a deeper meaning.

"One Piece Restaurant is your property, and I'm just tagging along with Shirley. How could I not welcome you?" Skyler glanced at Veronica and raised an eyebrow. "Am I right, Veronica?"

However, Matthew immediately slapped him as soon as he finished speaking. "Call her Roni!"

"Alright, alright. Fine. Roni. There you go."
