Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 101

Melissa stamped her foot in anger. Just as she was flying into a rage, she suddenly saw Matthew walking toward Veronica. Her eyes lit up, and she brightened up instantly.

Dressed in black casual clothes, Matthew was wearing a black sports headband on his forehead, which made him look appealingly younger and more handsome while lending him the athletic air of a basketball player on the basketball court. However, Veronica knew that he was only wearing a sports headband to keep the sweat on his forehead from dripping into his eyes and affecting his work. After all, he couldn‘t free up his hand to wipe his sweat away while moving things up and down the mountain all the time.

Walking up to Veronica, Matthew‘spread his hand and held out to her what he was holding. “Here, this is for you.”

“What is it?” Veronica asked, before noticing the bright red raspberries in Matthew‘s palm. These were a kind of red fruit that grew on the ridges between fields in rural areas, and they tasted great with a sweet and sour flavor, “Where did you get them? I love these!” Delighted at the sight of raspberries, she took them from Matthew and stuffed a few into her mouth right away. “They taste just right; they‘re sweet and sour. Thanks,” she said, thanking Matthew while tasting the raspberries.

When she looked up, she saw Melissa looking at the raspberries greedily with eager eyes. She gave her a few raspberries, saying, “Try them. They taste great.”

“Sure! Thanks, Roni.” Melissa took a few raspberries and tasted them before nodding vigorously. “Gosh! They taste so good! Thank you so much, Matthew.”

Veronica was rendered speechless. Damn it, I‘m the one who gave them to you, okay?

Matthew took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. Then, he began smoking the cigarette while standing aside.

It was now afternoon, and those who had been busy all morning were sitting at the village‘s entrance for a rest. Leaning against a tree, Matthew put one hand in his trouser pocket while holding his cigarette with another. With his right leg slightly bent, he put his foot on the tree trunk to support himself. Even when he was just

standing there, his casual and laid–back posture gave the impression of a handsome and energetic young hunk that would sweep anyone off their feet.
