Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 227 Bet? What Bet?

Thomas was considered to have met countless people before, but he was used to encountering women from well-off families ever since he worked for Matthew; these women tend to be aware of their reputation in front of Thomas.

Veronica, on the other hand, was exceptionally different from most people and she was rather unabashed before him.

She remained in bed as she tilted her head to look at Thomas. “Why would you think that I can’t finish all of them? Even if I can’t, I can just keep them for my dinner.” As a thrifty person, she did not condone wasteful behavior, so she definitely meant her words.

However, at the moment, she was craving something that contained meat.

“Just get it. Caleb, Drew and Miggy are here too, so they will join us for lunch.” Matthew purposely brought up his buddies as an excuse to stop Thomas from questioning any further.

After Matthew had said that, he signaled with his eyes to the men by the side and the trio instantly took the hint and went along with his words.

Caleb replied, “Yeah, I just so happen to be craving some pork sausages.”

Miguel added, “Miss Murphy and I have similar palettes.”

As for Skyler, he went all out. “What, you think we can’t finish some little croissants and sausages? You’re definitely underestimating us! Thomas, hurry up and get the food before I grow another strand of white hair. I’m starving and you better have the food here before I look another day older!”

Meanwhile, the rest of them were rendered speechless by Skyler’s words.

A resigned Thomas could only nod his head. “Understood, I’ll get the food right away.”

This is my life, this is my quest. One word from these Masters and I’ve got to run around to complete their orders. Gosh, I ‘love’ my life!

He turned around to leave the room and shut the door as he walked out.

Veronica remained in bed for quite some time before looking at Matthew once again as he got up and walked to her side. “How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt?”
