Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

pants and a pair of flip–flops made from grass while a dark blue towel was wrapped around his head as

he held a smoking pipe in his hand.

“Welcome to my house. I‘m sorry for the delay as I had something to deal with earlier.”

Although the chief‘s English wasn‘t extremely fluent since it was mixed with the local dialect, one could

still guess what he was trying to get across.

After greeting the chief, they all sat down and began to eat.

The lunch was very extravagant as the chief had prepared a goose and chicken for them.

After lunch, he said, “Veronica, you can stay in my home as you are a girl. I have a spacious room with a

door, so I hope it‘ll be much more convenient for you. As for the men, they can make do with the houses

of my neighbors, Mrs. Ritz and Mr. Dune.”

“Okay, thank you chief. We‘ll follow with your arrangements.”

Veronica felt extremely grateful.

Taking her luggage with her, she entered her allocated room.

The room came with only a small window, which meant that it was dimly lit. However, she had to admit

that the room was indeed tidy and clean.

After placing her belongings on the floor, she saw Matthew standing by the door as soon as she turned

around. It looked like he was mysteriously looking at her.

“What, are you jealous? Don‘t tell me you‘re even going to fight over a room with me?”

Glancing at him, she smirked. “Let‘s go and see your room then.”

After saying that, she dragged Matthew out with her.

Together with Titus, they all went over to Mrs. Ritz‘s home, which had three rooms one being a bedroom,

another the main hall, and the final one, a kitchen.

The passionate Mrs. Ritz welcomed them. “Hahaha, quickly come in. I‘ve already tidied all the rooms for

you. So, you just need to stay here.”

Often in a village, the main hall was often the living room while the house itself was the bedroom.

A perplexed Quincy asked, “If we‘re staying in the house, where will you be staying?”

“It‘s fine. We‘ve already set up a bed in the cow shed. We‘ll be sleeping there tonight,” Mrs. Ritz replied.

Her answer caused them to become speechless.

They had originally wanted to reject this proposal, but due to the villagers‘ sheer insistence, they had no

choice to go along with it.

After they had a short siesta, another group of people came in the afternoon.

It was only after asking around that Veronica discovered that it was the Crawfords who had arrived–

namely Xavier‘s father and sister, Hendric and Melissa.

“Hey, I heard from Titus that nobody has ever visited Dawnpol Village before. So, why are there so many

people here all of a sudden?” Veronica asked while tugging on Melissa‘s arm.

Matthew stared at her coldly before replying, “I don‘t know.”

After saying that, he turned and was preparing to walk away.

His sudden mood swing confounded Veronica to no end, so she chased after him and blocked his way.

“Are you mental? Why are you angry for no reason again? When did I exactly offend you?”

Stopping in his stride, the man had a cold look on his handsome face. “I told you to stay away from

Xavier Crawford. Are you treating my words as water off a duck‘s back?”

This answer made Veronica realize why he was angry at her.

It was all because her current workplace, Konig Company, was owned by Xavier, which was the reason

why Matthew was exasperated.

She instantly grew livid. “You‘re only my godbrother, not my mom! First off, you didn‘t birth me. Secondly,

you didn‘t raise me. Thirdly, we‘re not even romantically involved, so why should I follow everything you

say?”

Veronica snorted before shooting a cold gaze at him and stomping angrily. “What a control freak!”

Then, she swerved past him and left.

In the afternoon, the number of people swarming into Dawnpol Village grew as a few reporters even

showed up.

Although there was no signal here, the news could still be broadcasted after they left the village.

The donation items that were in the cars stationed out to the mountain had been transported bit by bit to

the village. Not to mention, the enthusiastic villagers had also joined the team to help to transport the

items over to the village.

Veronica finally found out that the charity event this time was apparently organized by the government,

who requested every corporation in Bloomstead to come to Almeida and contribute something.

It just so happened that the Crawfords were arranged to visit Dawnpol Village, which was why Xavier‘s

company had dispatched some of their workers over.

The afternoon was filled with people busying themselves transporting the goods and Veronica was in the

midst of it too.

This continued unulien au night.

The exhausted Veronica had returned to the village chief‘s home only to discover someone sleeping on

her bed after she had switched on the lights in her room.

“I just switched off the lights. Who in the name… Veronica?”

The woman in pajamas sat up and stared angrily at Veronica.

Then, Veronica discovered that the person in question was actually Xavier‘s sister, Melissa.

“Why are you sleeping here?” Veronica asked.

“With no place left in the village to sleep, the chief said that I can.crash in the room with you, saying that I

am a VIP.” After that, Melissa just lay back down to continue to sleep.
