Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 72

Elizabeth’s words caused Matthew’s expression to darken significantly

However, he recalled the doctor’s repeated instructions of avoiding angering her before she was discharged from the hospital, so he could only nod his head perfunctorily. “Okay.”

Meanwhile, Veronica was extremely gleeful to see Matthew getting told off.

However, she stopped smiling and turned to Elizabeth. “Grandma, Matthew’s right. My background is indeed not a good match for them.”

“Well, it’s good that you know your position.” Matthew agreed with her words.

However, as soon as he said that, there was a loud ‘bang’ that sounded, as Elizabeth had immediately flung the cup in front of her at Matthew’s feet. “I told you to shut up! Are you deaf or what?”

Just then, Elizabeth had a thunderous expression as she stared at Matthew. However, as soon as she turned to Veronica, she showed a warm and inviting smile. “Silly girl, what are you on about? Why are you considering whether you’re a good match for them or not? You’re a kind and obedient child who’s very pretty too. Besides, you have a university degree, so you’re definitely a worthy match. Self-confidence is important in a girl. Trust me,I have good judgment so if I reckon that you’re good enough, then you definitely are!”.

At that point, Veronica could feel Elizabeth’s kindness and the former was significantly touched.

Veronica shot a look at Matthew, who was sitting off to one side with a cold expression on his face, and she noticed that he was seated quite stiffly on the couch. From his expression, she could tell that he seemed quite resigned toward Elizabeth’s actions. Truth be told, Veronica had never seen such an awkward expression on his face.

Just then, she was rather tickled by the situation. At the same time, she also realized that Matthew was indeed very filial toward Elizabeth.

“Grandma, you’re the best!”

Veronica didn’t want Elizabeth’s efforts to be in vain, so the former didn’t directly reject the latter’s suggestion.

“There’s no need to be so courteous with me.” Elizabeth smiled.

Suddenly, her expression turned stern and she moved closer to Veronica to ask softly, “By the way, I never got to ask you-why do you loathe Tiffany? Are you actually that reluctant to go home?”

Elizabeth’s consecutive questions were ones that Veronica refused to answer.

Elizabeth clearly sensed Veronica’s attitude too, so she spoke up. “Darling, I’m not trying to make you go back home. I just wanted to let you know if you don’t want to go back, you…”
