Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 96

“Hello, I‘m Titus Peel, the Dawnpol Village‘s chief‘s son. My father is a bit busy at the inoment, so I‘m h ere to greet you on his behalf.”

When Matthew was still absent–mindedly looking at Veronica, a dark– skinned, lanky and radiant man walked toward them to introduce himself.

Titus, who looked to be just a bit over his twenties, spoke standard English as he go. off an honest and kind aura.

Reaching for a friendly handshake, Matthew also responded in kind. “I‘m Matthew. Matthew Kings.”

After Veronica had finished distributing the snacks, the children all skipped away happily as they were replac ed by the villagers starting to gather around them.

“Hello, I‘m Veronica Murphy.”

She walked to Titus and shook his hand.

“Welcome to Dawnpol Village.”

The honest Titus smiled while greeting her.

“I‘m here as a representative of the Konig Company. There‘s more stuff for the kids that will soon arrive, ” she explained.

“Thank you, thank you. I sincerely thank you on behalf of my village. Come, I‘ve prepared lunch at hom e. You two should come over and we‘ll have lunch together,” he stated to the both of them.

As the onlooking villagers did not possess much fluency in the language, they all silently stood by the si de. Although they did not converse with Veronica and Matthew, each villager still had a warm smile on t heir faces.

After that, Veronica and Matthew followed Titus to where his home was.

On the way there, Titus passionately introduced the ongoings of the village so that the two of them could b etter understand the situation of the village.

When she arrived at Titus‘ home, Veronica saw Quincy and Matthew‘s two… bodyguards?

Veronica wasn‘t fully sure about the two men‘s identity, yet judging from their fit and muscular bodies, s he knew that they weren‘t ordinary people.

Tinus‘ home and the village were both located at the base of the mountain. Even though his family was the richest in Dawnpol Village, they only had five mud brick houses with all of their roofs lined with green tiles. Behind their house was a huge bamboo forest while a pond was situated at the front of the entrance.

As one stood at the entrance and heard the sounds from the rooster, dogs and the water flowing beside , they would feel like they had traveled to an unknown piece of paradise as the stunning scenery and g entle weather greeted them.

If it were not for the fact that a few great mountains had blocked the way from here to the outside world, it was possible for the place to be developed into a tourist attraction.

As they entered Titus‘ home, they all sat and started to chat. It wasn‘t before long that the village chief r eturned.

He was also a dark– skinned man and had a forehead full of wrinkles. Although he wasn‘t a very tall person, he was also slightly hunched. His attire consisted of a thin sleeveless white vest, baggy black 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 pip e 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 m ake do with the houses of my neighbors, Mrs. Ritz and Mr. Dune.” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“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 t hat 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 bedroo m, 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 fo r 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.

LIE

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 n o 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 Xavi

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

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

“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.” Af
