Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 111

Despite that, he never took it. Thus, the man still deserved his credit for his honor and kindness, which was why she couldn‘t leave him be. Frustrated, she walked back to Matthew‘s side. Due to her anger, her pale face visibly reddened, and because of that, she appeared rather charming.

Having witnessed what happened, Matthew softly quizzed, “Why help him if you‘re that mad?” Few moments ago when the masked man appeared, Matthew wanted to eliminate him right away, but Veronica‘s words and gestures reflected that she was an insightful woman. Besides, he shouldn‘t be meddling in any of her personal affairs, unless it was an issue she couldn‘t resolve, that was. That was the basic respect he had for her.

“Hmph. He… Forget it. I‘m hungry, and I‘ll just be wasting my life away talking to him anyway.” As she was venting, she snatched the meat skewer in Matthew‘s hand and impatiently took a bite, only for her lips to be burned by the scorching hot food. “Ah, it‘s still hot! Damn it all!” With problems stacking on top of each other, she couldn‘t help but feel irritated. For some reason, her annoyed look made her seem like the whiny little girl next door, and Matthew was entertained by it.

Thereupon, the man grabbed the meat skewer in her hand and cut it into bites with his dagger before picking a piece up with the tip of the dagger. He then blew the heat off and placed it before her mouth. “Here.”

Famished, Veronica thoughtlessly nommed it down, and instantly, her face froze. She turned to Matthew with a frown. “It tastes… so bad…” Without salt, it was supposed to taste bland, but the meat was awful!

“Bad?” Baffled, Matthew had a taste for himself, to which he, too, revealed a glower. The meat was dry and carried a strong taste of burntness along with the bloody flesh underneath. The skin was burned but the flesh was thoroughly uncooked. In that instant, awkwardness surged on his handsome face.

Swiftly, she stood up and hurriedly limped before Matthew. Gripping his arm, she piliably pursed her lips. “I was just joking. It‘s not that bad, really! It‘s just… a liule burned, but other than that, it‘s all good! Mhm, just like…
