Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 285 A Private Battle

“What a coincidence, Miss Murphy, Young Master Xavier. You guys are also here to have a meal?”

The moment Ruka spoke, both of them turned their heads and saw her in a lacy black skirt with an outer coat that was made from animal fur. Not only that; she was even holding Matthew’s wrist.

Veronica’s eyes zoomed in on Ruka’s hand that was on Matthew’s wrist and found it irritating. She was cursing herself for such bad luck in her heart since she never expected that she would run into Ruka and Matthew at such a place.

What a small place Bloomstead was.

Xavier coldly raised his head, but didn’t look at Ruka. Rather, his fierce gaze met Matthew’s cold eyes. “Since you are here with such beauty, President Kings, Roni and I won’t interrupt you guys.”

As a fellow man, he knew Matthew’s thoughts all too well, which was why he decided to block their path of escape.

“Yes, yes. Since you are having a date with Miss Dame, we won’t be interrupting you guys. Since it is a couple’s date, it’s better for you guys to head to the private room instead,” Veronica quickly added for the fear that Matthew would sit next to them and ruin an innocent meal.

Hilton Restaurant was one of the top restaurants in Bloomstead. Although it was not gigantic in size, it had a quiet and exquisite ambience, which drew both the middle and upper class to visit the place often. Yet, not many people chose to have their meals here.

When Matthew looked at Veronica, there was a trace of luster and resentment in his dark eyes. It was as if to say that she would always treat him to eggs and milk. If not those two items, it would be the cheapest dish that she could purchase at One Piece Restaurant. Why is it that she’s treating Xavier at the upper class restaurant like Hilton Restaurant?

Such a stark difference in behavior was enough to irritate him.

“It’s better to be alone than with someone,” he commented before looking at Ruka. “Ruka, do you mind that we share a table?”

It was evident that Veronica and Xavier were seated there, but Matthew turned the tables on them and did not allow them to speak since he knew that he would be rejected, regardless of who asked.

Ruka turned to the side and her beautiful, angelic eyes gazed at the noble man in front of her as she felt the arrogance that he had in front of Veronica. Such a feeling only left her feeling awful.
