Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1203 Study Together

"I know you don't trust me and don't want to tell me too much. But I just need to know that you're okay. Goodbye."

Xavier felt a little disappointed and quickly hung up the phone.

After being interrupted by the phone call, Veronica lost interest in studying and started playing with her phone.

Ding dong!

A message came in.

After buying the phone, both Veronica and Matthew used the cracked version, which could be translated into English.

It was a text message of only a few words sent by Matthew. 'There is an antidote on the handkerchief.'

Yesterday, she deliberately poured tea on the handkerchief, put it in a plastic bag, and brought it out in her pocket.

She only had her suspicions, but she didn't expect something was wrong with the tea.

Tiffany was likely to have already cooperated with the Ledgers.

Or perhaps, due to her extreme lack of security, she was opportunistic and played both sides to ensure

her interests. That was why she found a way to agree with the Ledgers.

'Understood.' Veronica held her phone and typed just one word. But after thinking about it, she found a 'kiss' emoji and sent it as well.

Knock, knock, knock—-

Someone knocked on the door suddenly.

After Veronica put her phone on the table, she got up and opened the door. Mateo was standing outside with a book in his hand, ready to come in and teach her.

Because Veronica's bedroom was relatively large, half of it was a resting area, and the other half could be separated as a study area.

To facilitate studying, she didn't bother to move to the study.

However, after learning about Mateo's feelings for her, Veronica suddenly felt that it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room.

"Mateo, how about—"

Veronica was about to suggest going to the study, which would be more appropriate. But before she could finish her sentence, she saw Matthew appear behind Mateo.

"Young Master Mateo, I would also like to study with you." Matthew looked plain and honest, dressed in a black and white checkered shirt.

Mateo was startled by Matthew's sudden appearance. He turned around with a cold face and glared at him. "No!" he snapped. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He was even more enraged when he thought of the three thousand Iron Pillar tricked out of him yesterday.

"This is all the money I have. Here, take it. Consider it as my tuition fee, okay?" Matthew took out three thousand from his pocket.

This money was given to him by Mateo yesterday.

Seeing the money, Mateo reached out to grab it. However, Matthew retracted his hand and asked, "Will you teach me?"

"Give me the money first." Mateo opened his hand, showing a stance of "no money, no talk."

Matthew didn't give in to the threat at all. Instead, he turned and walked to the stairs, loudly announcing to the people downstairs, "Master Waylen, Young Master Mateo doesn't want to teach me."

Crayson's real name was Waylen Elrod. As Matthew was a servant in the house, he could only address Crayson as "Master Waylen."

"Mateo?!"

Immediately, a furious roar came from downstairs.

Mateo's face turned black in an instant. He glared at Matthew, but all he saw was Matthew's innocent smile. "Hehe, Master Waylen meant that it would be impolite to give you money, so I won't give it to you."

While solemnly saying that, he put the money in his pocket. Mateo almost passed out from anger at that.

Veronica had never seen Matthew so mischievous before, and she couldn't help but suppress her laughter.

"Yes, sir!" Mateo responded to Crayson.

Then, they heard Crayson say loudly, "From now on, Iron Pillar will protect Veronica's safety. You must make sure he speaks fluently."

Mateo was so angry that his face turned red. Even so, he dared not say anything.

Veronica secretly found it funny and could only hold her laughter in. She suggested, "Let's go to the study. My room can't accommodate three people."
