Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1207 Invite Them In

Veronica was on guard against Eleanor almost immediately.

Veronica was already beautiful with her delicate features, exotic face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. She had a captivating charm that was not at all frivolous. It was the kind of beauty that was exuded from her every move without being superficial.

Even though Veronica felt confident in her own appearance, she couldn't help but feel slightly inferior in front of Eleanor.

"I haven't been paying attention. Do you need something from him, Princess Eleanor?"

Veronica automatically ignored Liam's apology and focused her attention on Eleanor.

"It's nothing, really. I just think he's skilled and wanted to spar with him," Eleanor replied calmly.

Dominik shook his head and smiled helplessly. "Miss Murphy, please don't mind Eleanor. She has always been like this. She has been practicing martial arts since she was young and enjoys challenging others to test their skills."

"Hey, I'm apologizing to you."

Liam, who was being ignored, threw Veronica a displeased look.

As a high-ranking prince, Liam had never been treated with such disrespect.

"You didn't do it intentionally. Let's just forget about it." Veronica didn't want to hold onto that matter.

She then asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be heading in."

"Are you not going to invite us in for a cup of tea?"

Seeing Veronica about to turn and enter the courtyard, Eleanor hurriedly urged, "Is this how Destorians treat their guests?"

The reason they came together today was because Eleanor wanted to see Matthew.

Now, she was being asked to leave after only standing at the door for a while. Naturally, she felt dissatisfied.

"You—"

Mateo didn't like them and was about to chase them away when Crayson walked out of the courtyard. The older man greeted, "Princess Eleanor, Prince Dominik, Prince Liam, welcome to my humble abode. I apologize for not welcoming you."

Crayson, who was spirited and energetic, walked out with big strides and smiled proudly.

"Who are you?" Liam didn't recognize Crayson.

On the other hand, Dominik gave a small nod. "You must be the famous Waylen Elrod. Master Waylen, right?"

When the Elrods were still the head of the hidden clan 20 years ago, Waylen was the chief minister of

the hidden clan. It was a position equivalent to the prime minister in ancient times.

He was respected by all and was loved by the people for his expertise in governing and leading the hidden clan to prosperity.

"Master Waylen, I've heard of you since long ago. It's an honor to meet you today." Eleanor greeted Crayson with a slight nod.

Although they were archenemies, they had to appear amiable with one another.

After all, in the hidden clan, the Ledger Clan had announced to the public that the Elrod Clan had to be tolerated. Even the previous hidden clan royalty would spare the lives of the Elrods.

"I'm surprised Your Highnesses remember an old man like me. Hahaha!" Crayson laughed heartily and glanced at Veronica, scolding her, "How outrageous of you not to invite the princess and princes in. If word got out, people would mock me for not knowing proper etiquette."

"It has nothing to do with Veronica. It was all my idea." Mateo stepped forward to explain.

Perhaps he did not want to see Veronica scolded by Crayson, so he took all the responsibility upon himself.

"Alright, let's not just stand here. Please, come in."

Crayson politely gestured for them to move along as he led them into the living room. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

As everyone took a seat on the couch, the servants quickly went to make tea.

At this moment, Matthew walked out of the kitchen in an apron, looking busy.

Eleanor's eyes lit up at the sight of him. "Iron Pillar, what are you doing?"
