Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 242 Veronica’s Attempt to Introduce a Girlfriend to Him

In the end, Veronica heard him solemnly mentioning, “I’ll buy you everything that you like.”

Instantly, the smile on her face disappeared. Despite her having a face mask covering her face, he could sense her frown, and so he knew she was quite displeased. “How can I possibly finish all this?! If you don’t want to eat them, just say so! You’re being wasteful by buying so much!”

Matthew replied, “I have plenty of money.”

He said that nonchalantly and he was completely unperturbed by her angry retort. On the contrary, his words had an indulgent note to them.

“I can buy them myself. I don’t need you to pay for me! Hmph!” Veronica glared at him furiously as she muttered, “Wastrel.”

“I’m your godbrother, so by right, I should pay for your purchases.”

He had a face mask covering his face and the only visible part was his pretty-looking dark eyes. From the look in his eyes, one could clearly see the doting expression in them. He was clearly expressing his feelings as a grown male doting on an attractive female, but he insisted that it was a brother’s affection for his sister.

At that moment, Veronica—holding on to a packet of salt and vinegar potato chips in her hand—paused momentarily in her action, and she instantly turned around to avoid the intense look in his eyes.

She was clearly aware of Matthew’s feelings toward her, but she continued to force a silly smile on her face. “Oh, you’ve shown improvement.” She clenched her hands into fists and lightly punched him on the chest. “That’s right; you’re my brother, so you should behave righteously that way.”

“I…”

Matthew stared intently at her with a tender yet complicated look in his eyes. He seemed to have something to bring up, but on second thought, he reckoned that she seemed to have a bad impression of him and that she was quite against their huge age gap, so perhaps it was wiser to continue developing their relationship as siblings for the time being.

After all, he had a higher chance of success if they remained closely in touch. Over time, one would definitely develop feelings for the other after spending time together, so there was no need to rush into things.

As soon as Matthew realized this, he instantly changed his words. “I don’t like snacks.”

“You don’t like going grocery shopping, and neither do you enjoy snacks. Where’s the fun in your life, huh?” As soon as Veronica heard him claim that he should pay for her as her brother, the pressure she felt from before dissipated without a trace.

It hit me squarely on the forehead and then… And then I was kicked out of the classroom. As punishment, I had to stand by the corridor for the entire period.
