Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

It’s interesting. One is a country-bumpkin who came to the city searching for better prospects in life,

while the other is a daughter of a famous noble family in the capital city. Yet, both have entirely different

personalities from what people would have expected.

Truly ironic!

How could Hendrey not know about Tiffany’s ‘seduction’?

With that, he snuffed out the cigarette and walked to Tiffany. Then, he wrapped his arms around her

waist and pulled her into his embrace. “What’s the matter? I’m your man. Can’t I look?”

The domineering words that escaped Hendrey’s lips were utterly different from his warm and soothing

temperament.

Actually, there was even a moment when Tiffany could see a dangerous aura coming from his eyes

that lingered around her and did not go away.

Tiffany pursed her lips as she said enchantingly, “H-Hendrey, I-I’m not ready yet.”

With one hand blocking the distance between them and resisting his approach, she covered her chest

with the other and murmured with her head lowered.

“Silly girl.” Hendrey leaned over and kissed her lips. The kiss was intensely hot and insanely

passionate.

None of them knew when the bathrobe on Tiffany’s body fell to the ground. Instead, all the two knew

that they were taking advantage of the hotel bed as they continued their vigorous activities.

…

The next day, Hendrey invited Veronica to go back to their hometown together. He lied to her, saying

his car was being repaired so that he could ask Veronica for a ride.

Not knowing about his lies, Veronica readily agreed.

Veronica went to pick Hendrey up, and the two drove back to their hometown.

On the way, Veronica asked tentatively, “D-Do you like Tiffany very much?”

Hendrey thought of Tiffany’s debauched appearance yesterday upon hearing that question. Boy, she

was akin to those regulars in clubs. There was not even the slightest bit of nobility in her bones that

was expected of an heiress like her.

At that thought, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

“Well, she’s not bad,” Hendrey replied, betraying his conscience.

As Veronica heard Hendrey’s words, she leaned against the seat and turned her head to look out the

window.

She knew exactly what had happened to Tiffany. From the beginning, when she liked Matthew, she had

sex with other men in order to conceive a child for the sake of marrying Matthew until she was

assaulted by the men sent by Melissa and was unable to have children due to a miscarriage. I know

them all. Since then, Tiffany has been in a slump and has failed to recover from the setback. In

addition, she even began to develop a ‘what-the-hell’ mentality and enjoyed all kinds of pleasures with

Xavier.

Although Veronica knew that it was because Tiffany had suffered a colossal blow in life, she had gotten

to where she was today because she had given up on herself.

So, despite how much Tiffany disgusted her, she could somehow grasp her despair in the ‘darkness’

too.

Although some factors were self-inflicted sins that led to her tragic ending today, it still could not

change the fact that Melissa did send people to assault her, and Tiffany could no longer bear children

after a miscarriage because of that. To most women, these two things were unbearable.

Pitiful and sad at the same time.

Whenever Veronica thought about this, she would develop sympathy for Tiffany.

Too bad she doesn’t deserve it!

“You must have heard affairs about her, right?” Veronica asked tentatively, wanting to know Hendrey’s

thoughts.

“I know everything about Tiffany and Matthew. But as a girl, it’s actually good enough that she gathers

her courage to admit her mistakes. To me: these things aren’t important. I don’t think it matters much as

long as she turns over a new leaf in the future. After all, not everyone is a sage: who can commit no

error? And we’re still young. Which of us has never made mistakes before?” Hendrey replied.

Veronica did not know what to say for a moment as she listened to Hendrey’s words.

She did not even know if she should tell Hendrey about what happened between Tiffany and Xavier.

Nonetheless, Veronica eventually could not bring herself to shatter Hendrey’s expectations for Tiffany.

Thus, she decided to observe them for a while.

After they had been on the road for a few hours, they finally reached Collins, and it was already

11:00AM by the time they arrived.

Veronica could not resist Hendrey’s enthusiasm, so the two had lunch in Collins. Only after that did she

drive back to her village in Cabot Town.

After an hour, she finally arrived in her hometown.

Veronica parked her car at the gate of the yard. Tony and Daniella immediately ran out of the house

when they heard the sound. They walked to the car, and they welcomed her with happy smiles on their

faces.

“Mom! Dad! I’m home!” Veronica got out of the car. Then, she gave Tony and Daniella a hug. “How are

you guys doing?”

“We’re doing fine.” Daniella could not help but smile widely.

Meanwhile, Tony sighed. “You’re finally back. At last, I don’t need to listen to your mother’s constant

rambling and nagging.”

“What’s the matter? Do you think Roni would stand up for you when she comes home?” Daniella rolled

her eyes at Tony.

As for Veronica, she was used to their bickering and could not help but smile at them.

Then, she said, “Mom and Dad, please help me carry my things.”

She returned to her car, opened the trunk, and systematically retrieved everything inside. “Mom and

Dad, here are your clothes and shoes, as well as some nutritional supplements. Bring them in first.

These are the things I bought for my master, and I’ll bring them over to him.”

“Sure thing. Quickly bring them over to Master Crayson’s place. Oh, and while you’re there, ask him to

come down from the mountain. Let’s have a get-together,” Daniella urged Veronica.

“Okay, Mom.” Veronica nodded and smiled. Then, she headed straight to the mountain to look for

Crayson while carrying these few things.

The cold breeze in winter was freezing, especially in the mountains. Her face hurt from the cold breeze

constantly brushing against her skin as the chilly wind howled.

While walking up the mountain, Veronica could not help but mutter in her heart, Damn it, Master

Crayson! Don’t you feel cold living on the mountain every day?

Shivering from the coldness, she quickened her pace up the mountain.

However, the door was locked when she went around the small pond and reached the door of

Crayson’s courtyard.

Veronica looked around the house as she placed her gifts down carefully. Yet, there was no sign of

Crayson at all.

And thus, she took her phone to call Crayson. However, as expected, there was no signal on the

mountain.

Resigned, she could only sit on the milk crate that she carried and quietly wait for Crayson’s return.

It didn’t take long for the boredom to settle in without her phone to entertain her. So, naturally, she

looked around for something to do. However, she suddenly discovered that there were several

footprints on the ground at the door of Crayson’s house.

As it snowed earlier, it left rather obvious tracks to be seen. She could even see the shoe prints as it

hadn’t been snowing.

Judging from the striation and size of those shoe prints, I could tell there were at least four or five

people.

Master Crayson lives in the back mountain, and he doesn’t have the most welcoming personality and

generally doesn’t like to talk to people. So, only a few people will come to find him.

Just like Dad, Master Crayson isn’t that tall, and their shoe sizes are size 7. But these shoe prints on

the ground are at least size 8 or 8.5.

The owner of these shoe prints is at least 5’11” to 6’2″.

At the thought of that, Veronica’s eyes narrowed slightly as she scrutinized the footprints. Finally, she

got up to get a closer look. She squatted as she carefully observed the shoe prints and discovered that

there were striations of at least three people’s soles, and the sizes were 8 or more.
