Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 148

Chapter 148

After opening the door and walking in, Veronica waved at Xavier, who was standing across the door. “Come on in.”

Xavier glanced around the living room, which had a minimalist design. Nevertheless, because the area wasn‘t too spacious, it actually made the space look more warm and cozy with the dim, yellow light in the living room.

“It‘s pretty cozy here,” Xavier commented while walking into the living room to sit on the couch.

“Please make yourself at home.”

Veronica closed the door and took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cooler with a chuckle. “I stole this wine from Matthew‘s place. He said this is an aged wine.”

In fact, Veronica saw this aged wine on Matthew‘s wine cooler back when she was at Twilight Condominium, so she secretly kept it in her bedroom as she planned to devour it.

However, she got into an argument with Matthew later on, so she took it away together when she left the club.

Veronica shook the wine bottle in her hand and said, “Let‘s finish it.”

She loved drinking because when she was with Crayson back then, the latter loved bringing her around for drinks, so as time passed, she gradually got better at holding her liquor.

Nevertheless, Veronica did not realize that she had been drinking quite a lot in the last few months due to the pressure from various sources.

Xavier then took the red wine from Veronica‘s hand and smiled in spite of himself after checking the label. “I‘m afraid we can‘t drink this wine,” he said.

“Huh? Why? Is it because it‘s an aged wine? I can hold my drink, so that‘s not a problem.”

“This is not just any ordinary aged wine. This is a 1945 Romanée–Conti that was bought by someone at an exorbitant price of 3.9 million at New York‘s Sotheby‘s auction. I reckoned the buyer gave this to Matthew as a gift later on.”

Hearing thai, Veronica widened her eyes and was left dumbfounded. “What?! 3.9 million? What kind of wine would cost this much?!”

She knew aged wines were generally more expensive, but she did not expect this one to be so pricey.
