Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 143

Veronica, who loved porridge, was actually reminded of the porridge prepared by Matthew as she ate the porridge she cooked.

Although porridge was the only dish the jerk knew how to make, Veronica had to admit that the porridge he made was very tasty.

After she was done eating, she packed her stuff and went online to check the train tickets. She then pondered about it and ended up purchasing a ticket to go back to her hometown––Cabot Town, Lothian––three days later.

By the time Veronica settled everything, it was almost 10 o‘clock.

At that instant, she picked up her phone and was about to call Elizabeth to tell her that she did not wish to be involved in planning Matthew and Tiffany‘s wedding, but her phone rang as Elizabeth had beat her to it.

“Grandma, I was just about to call you, but you actually beat me to it!”

Veronica smiled as she thought, What were the odds?

“Haha, really? You cheeky girl. If I don‘t call you first, there‘s no chance we‘ll be in a call together.”

Elizabeth laughed heartily from the other end of the line as she was in a very good mood.

“That‘s not true. I legit was about to call you to talk about something.”

“What is it?”

“Grandma, well… I‘m heading back to my hometown in a few days, so I can‘t help to plan Tiffany and Matthew‘s wedding anymore. So sorry about that.”

Veronica felt apologetic as she genuinely felt she had let Elizabeth down,

Though Elizabeth had saved Veronica‘s life multiple times, Veronica just wasn‘t capable enough to repay her kindness.

“Oh! I actually called to discuss this matter with you too. Where are you now? I‘!! come and find you,” Elizabeth replied.

“Oh, please don‘t. Where are you? I‘ll come and find you instead.”

“Im at the park where you saved me last time.”
