Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 92

“Matthew, wasn’t it your man who carried my luggage? Where is it?” Veronica furrowed her brows and questioned Matthew.

The man closed his umbrella and carefully buckled its belt before coldly glancing al her as he opened his thin lips. “I’m not related to you at all, so why should I help you carry your luggage?”

This guy is so petty. Her expression darkened as she rolled her eyes at him. He must have gotten angry when I introduced him to Quincy, but I didn’t expect him to be so petty.

“Fine, our friendship is now over.” She grunted coldly and said to Quincy, “Please wait here for me. I need to take my luggage and will be back shortly.”

After that, she turned around to retrieve her luggage. While walking past Matthew, she fiercely nudged his arm before dashing off.

As the road down the mountain was muddy, it was still too slippery and caused her to be extremely slow.

It was originally a ten-minute journey, but Veronica took more than twenty minutes to arrive there. When she had spent another twenty minutes to return, Matthew was the only one left as the others were gone.

She angrily placed her luggage on the ground before glaring at him to ask, “Where’s Quincy?”

“He said that you are too slow, so he left first,” he uttered coldly as he held his umbrella with one hand and rested the other hand in his pocket.

“Can’t you be nice to me?!” An exasperated Veronica rolled her eyes at him. This b*stard! Because of a few words that I said earlier, he left my luggage a few miles away and made me walk for almost an hour for nothing.

“I’m not related to you at all, so why should I be nice to you?” Matthew took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up before silently smoking it.

After that, Veronica walked past him to move forward while carrying her luggage.

The road up the mountain was just as treacherous and their journey along the muddy road was made even more difficult by the earlier rainstorm.

Therefore, it was extremely exhausting for her to carry the luggage up the mountain.

After climbing up the mountain and standing at the peak, she lifted her head and realized that Quincy and the other two men were already on top of another mountain in front of her and Matthew.

She could faintly see their figures.

At the moment, since Veronica was bearing a grudge against Matthew, she angrily walked in front of him without saying a word.

Meanwhile, Matthew, who was following closely behind her, saw that she looked a bit tired and asked, “Do you need me to help you carry it?”

“I’m not related to you, so I don’t want your help!” the woman roared.

“Okay, you’re right,” he replied without saying anything else. Then, he continued to silently follow her from behind. –

After they went up the mountain, they now began their descent. Even though Veronica was wearing a pair of non-slip shoes, the footwear couldn’t withstand the steep and slippery mountain road, so she was close to falling a few times. In the end, she was able to prop her luggage on the ground to prevent such mishaps.

However, she didn’t notice that every time she was about to fall, Matthew would reach out and try to support her, but he would silently withdraw his hand since she was able to stabilize herself each time.

The panting Veronica now stood on the edge of the mountain and looked at the steep road down the mountain as she was afraid of slipping later on. She was standing on a rock with arms akimbo while glaring at Matthew.

At that moment, their eyes met.

One of them was calm and relaxed while the other was panting crazily.

Veronica was exhausted because the luggage had been too heavy. It was already a miracle that she could carry it this far.

Even though she was raging, she decided to ‘surrender’ in the end.

After all, one should look after their interests at all times, so she chose to throw in the towel.

“Matthew, since you are my godbrother, why didn’t you help me all the way here? Do you really think I won’t tell Grandma about this when I’m back?”

This b*stard! Why can‘t you just be nice to me? Serves you right for being single even when you are almost 30. I hope that you‘ll be lonely for the rest o f his life!All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

The man raised his brows. “Oh, is that so? Who was the one who told me earlier tha! I’m not related to her at all?”

“I-I was just joking. You don’t have to take it so seriously. Are you really that petty?” she growled.

Unexpectedly, Matthew nodded his head in a serious manner. “I am.”

is manne

“You…”

Damn this b*stard! How dare you! Veronica took a deep breath and closed her eyes to slowly calm herself down. I can‘t be angry!

“I-I’m sorry. I hereby apologize for what I said just now.”

She stood in front of him and gave him a ninety-degree bow three times.

When she made her third bow, Matthew grabbed hold of her chin and probed, “Do you really think I would help you to carry your luggage after seeing you praying for my early death?”

We would only bow three times to the dead. This woman is explicitly and implicitly praying for me to have an early death. Does she really think I can‘t see it?

“Hehe, there’s no such thing. I’m just bowing three times to you to show my sincerity.”

Now that she was willing to submit to him for the time being, Veronica revealed a flattering smile, but it wasn’t sincere. That‘s right. I‘m bowing three times to show my sincerity to God so that a vile, nasty and sham eless scumbag like him can have an early death. It‘ll be better for the people in the world.

“Then, what kind of relationship do we have?” the man asked.

She rolled her eyes at him and answered, “I’m sorry, bro. It’s my fault, alright? You’re my real brother, and a good one too. Are you satisfied?”

“Fine. I guess I’ll have to stop finding fault with you.”

Matthew threw his umbrella to Veronica and went over to help carry her luggage. Then, he reached out to her.

Seeing his hand, she was startled. “What is this? What are you doing?” She instinctively reached for her pocket. “Are you really going to charge me for carrying my luggage?”

I beg you. Can you please be nice to me?

“Nonsense!”

Matthew approached her to hold her hand while slowly carrying her luggage down the mountain with his other hand.

Veronica felt warmth surrounding her palm as he engulfed her tiny hand with his huge paw. Suddenly, she felt that her heart was filled with a sense of security.

However, a moment later, she regained her composure. “Hey, Matthew, can you please let go of your hand? I’m seriously suspecting that you are taking advantage of me.”

The moment her words came out, he instantly released her hand. Coincidentally, they were climbing down a steep slope, so she slipped and fell on the ground. “Ouch, my bottom hurts.”

As she had fallen hard on the ground, she felt the pain shooting from her bottom to her waist.

Veronica took a deep breath to ease the pain. Looking at the sneakers she was wearing, she couldn’t help but mutter, “What kind of shitty shoes are these? They’re not slip-resistant at all.”

The man, who was a few feet away from her, turned around and looked at her emotionlessly.

While holding her waist, Veronica wanted to rise to her feet, but the surrounding

slopes were extremely steep and there was no place for support. She was afraid that she would tumble down the mountain before she even had the chance to stand up..

Therefore, she looked at Matthew and asked, “Can you come and help me, bro?”

She reluctantly addressed him as ‘brother.

However, the man answered lightly, “I don’t think I want to. I don’t want to be

accused of taking advantage of someone.” His arrogant tone sounded as though what was happening in front of him was none of his business.

Although Veronica was enraged, she had no choice but to forcefully resist her grievance and anger. “Bro, I was just joking with you. Since I’m your little sister, you should protect me. Otherwise, I will tell Grandma about this when I get back.”
