Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 236 Thomas Revealed the Truth

Matthew’s refusal wasn’t something unexpected. Veronica leaned against her chair and looked at the documents with a frown. “If I weren’t Grandma’s god-granddaughter, the company wouldn’t have achieved such a success. As much as I am grateful to you, I am indebted to the Kings Family. Nonetheless, I can’t deny that it’s a burden too.”

She laid out her genuine thoughts without hiding. “It’s your call whether you want to accept the offer or not.”

If Matthew didn’t sign it, she would shut down the company due to the guilt of receiving the money.

Suddenly, a knock resounded on the door, and a waiter walked inside to serve the food. Veronica thrust the documents back into her bag before pointing at the dishes. “Let’s eat. The filet steak is amazing. Try it.”

Veronica poured Matthew a glass of wine before raising her wine glass and smiling sweetly. “Anyway, thank you so much.”

While his eyes were fixated upon her, he wasn’t feeling as happy as he was when he first stepped into the restaurant. Mixed feelings were churning in his stomach as he silently raised his glass in a toast to her.

After polishing off the drink in one-go, she exclaimed, “The wine’s not bad. I guess I should dig in now.”

Humming in response, he savored the sweetness in his mouth. As incisive as he had always been, he noticed the exhaustion behind that wry smile on her face. He then gazed out of the window, drifting into a pensive rumination.

When they first met, there was a dazzling smile on her face all the time, as though no pall of sorrow could ever rein her in. Yet, she rarely smiled nowadays, and it pained Matthew to realize that.

Throughout the meal, they conversed lightly about the trivias before separating ways to their own companies.
