Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

“Hey, my dear cash co-I mean, Bro, I bought you a birthday cake since it’s your birthday today.”

Smiling flatteringly, Veronica took out a candle from her pocket and stuck it beside the ear of the pink pig.

After lighting up the candle, she held the cake and looked at Matthew with her head tilted. “Happy

birthday, Bro. Let me sing you the birthday

song. Go ahead and make a wish!”

Although Veronica actually did not know when Matthew’s birthday was, she had long heard that he never

celebrated his birthday.

So, when Matthew asked her to celebrate his birthday today, she was shocked despite feeling a little

unhappy with it.

On the other hand, Matthew switched off the car engine and gazed at Veronica, who wore a fawning

look, and thought she must be up to no good.

However, the scene of Xavier and Veronica celebrating their birthday together somehow surfaced

involuntarily in Matthew’s mind as he stared at Veronica. When he recalled how Daniella said the two of

them were in love with each other just now,

he immediately felt that the cake did not look tasty anymore at once.

“That’s unnecessary,” Matthew blurted coldly before starting the car engine and continuing the journey

directly.

“You… Are you crazy? It’s you who asked me to prepare a cake for you, yet you refuse to eat it!”

Veronica’s face darkened at once. Looking at the candle on the small cake, she lowered her head

crabbily and blew it off.

Then, she took out a fork from the paper bag and started eating the cake in the passenger seat.

It was said that women were capricious, but Veronica actually thought Matthew was even more

capricious!

Inwardly, she swore that she would never buy Matthew a cake anymore.

However, just as she had two bites of the cake, the car pulled over all of a sudden.

Matthew glanced at her coldly and reached out his hand to snatch the cake away from her. “It’s not your

birthday. So, you shouldn’t eat the cake.”

Biting the fork, Veronica glared at Matthew angrily and mumbled, “I can’t eat the cake because it’s not my

birthday? What domineering rule is that?”

However, Matthew directly snatched the fork from her, took a scoop of the cream cake, and started

eating it.

Veronica, who was still trapped in anger, continued babbling, “Didn’t you refuse to eat earlier? Why are

you eating it now? Matthew Kings, are you insane? This is so frustrating! Why are there people like you

on this earth?”

Matthew, who rarely had desserts, ignored Veronica’s mutter and savored the cake slowly, which he

actually found tasty.

As far as he could remember, his parents did not allow him to have cakes as they claimed that cakes

contained too much sugar and were bad for his health. As such, the cream cakes that he had had were

specially prepared and were not something like these cakes which were sold in the market at all.

In fact, Matthew thought the cake was very delicious after tasting it.

It could be because the cake was indeed delicious, or because it was bought by Veronica; bite after bite,

Matthew continued eaung the cake non-stop.

Even though he was eating a cheap cake, he still ate it in a graceful manner. It was as if the gentle,

refined personality was engraved in his bones, and he gave off a royal aura from head to toe.

Staring at Matthew in a daze, Veronica was deeply attracted by his extremely handsome face and

couldn’t help falling for it.

“Do you want some?”

Perceiving her fixed gaze, Matthew thought Veronica was craving some cake, so he took a piece of cake

and passed it to her.

As a non-linear thinker, Veronica was reminded of Tony when she saw Matthew passing her a piece of

cake, so she heaved a sigh. “It’s all your fault. If it wasn’t that you brought me back by force, I would

have been celebrating my dad’s birthday with him at this moment already.”

Veronica pouted and sighed with a disappointed look.

At that second, Matthew’s hardened heart was moved and actually softened slightly.

With his hand paused, he stared blankly at Veronica and asked involuntarily, “Do you want to go back

now?”

“Now?”

Veronica nodded incessantly, but on second thought, she thought it was impossible as it would take at

least three hours to reach home from here.

“Ha! It’s so far away. There’s no way I could rush back in time now.” Veronica laughed in a self-

deprecating manner.

However, right after she said that, Matthew shoved the cake to her, turned the car around, and

accelerated.

Stunned, Veronica realized that the direction he was heading was not the road to the Kings Residence,

so she asked, “Hey, where are you going?”

“Sending you home.”

“Home?”

Veronica widened her eyes in disbelief. “Y-You’re sending me home?”

“Or do you wish to walk back on your own?”

Matthew turned slightly toward Veronica with a captivating, bright smile on his handsome face.

The glow from the sunset shone through the car window and fell on Matthew’s face, giving it a golden

halo. As a result, not only did he look more handsome indistinctly, but he also became extremely alluring

“I-It’s not that… L”.

Veronica thought she had misheard him. Scratching her head, she asked in perplexity, “What’s wrong

with you? Why do you want to send me home all of a sudden?”
