Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 241 A Shopping Spree

“Little Roni is a liar who tells lies to my mother. You promised her, but I haven’t even received your contact number as of today.” Conrad sighed while crossing his legs. He took a sip of water, masking the mischievous side of him with his dashing looks.

“Really? Roni, how come? Quick! Add your uncle’s contact number at this instant.” Elizabeth glared at Veronica as she feigned displeasure.

In the end, Veronica forced herself to nod her head. “It’s because I’ve been too busy recently.”

Next, she rose to her feet and walked toward Conrad before saving his number. Matthew witnessed the entirety of the situation, but he held his tongue until the end of the day, as though he wasn’t there with them to begin with.

As the lively atmosphere reached its height, they enjoyed dinner together.

After that, an energetic Elizabeth even blabbed on and on about everything to Veronica in the backyard. It was only until then that she was willing to let the girl leave, despite the heavy heart.

“I will swing by often to see you, Grandma. Bye bye.” Veronica waved goodbye to the old lady before getting into her own car. Matthew left on his own as well.

Standing abreast of Yura while watching the cars disappear from her sight, Elizabeth heaved a long sigh. “Roni’s so much like Lily. If Lily’s still here, she should be at Roni’s age now.”

Somewhere in Elizabeth’s heart, there was always a place for Lily, her little daughter. Akin to Lily, Veronica was always the boisterous kid, and that was why Elizabeth had taken a liking to her.

“Lily loved martial arts and was good at playing chess. She was quirky but adorable and kind. She always had that happy face like Roni. And they even have dimples whenever they smile.” The tendency to dwell on the past grew as people aged, especially on matters buried in one’s heart with loose knots.
