Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

At that moment, Valerie glanced at Chloe and said, Mom, you should take a break. You’ve been working hard lately. Relax for now. I’ll go check things out and come up with a solution. Good things take time!” 

Chloe considered this and agreed. After all, there was no use in rushing. The market was changing rapidly. Since Danny had returned, the news would certainly cause a stir. 

“Sarah, you need to act quickly. Once he’s back, the impact will be significant. Many people are waiting!” Chloe said. 

“Don’t worry, I will do my best.” 

Valerie said this and meant it. After all, talent is crucial, and she knew that Danny was no ordinary person. 

Back home, Valerie decided to cook a few dishes herself. 

When Matthew saw the food Valerie brought to the table, he was surprised. “Why did you cook yourself? Was the chef not good enough?” 

Valerie said, “I wanted you to try my cooking!” 

With her large belly, Valerie made her way over. Matthew quickly went to help, placing the dishes on the table. “Be careful.” 

“I’m fine. I’m not that delicate. Besides, the doctor said that more exercise is good for the delivery, so don’t be so jumpy. Come on, try my specialty!” 

Matthew smiled, noticing the fruit platter Valerie had put together. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Did your brother send you more fruit?” 

“How did you know?” 

Matthew said, “These sweet fruits must come from Wrexton. I’ve been busy, so what’s up?”

“You said you should rely on yourselves. You insisted you didn’t need help. Now you can’t manage on your own?” 

Hearing this, Valerie pouted. “Are you making fun of me? You’re the president of the Noria Group, and I’m your subordinate. If I’m in trouble and you don’t help, I’m still just like a lowly general!” 

Matthew chuckled and said. “Wasn’t Charles supposed to help you?” 

Valerie said, “Charles is helping, but he doesn’t know much about wine. I’m at a loss and need your help. 

Matthew looked at her with a half–smile. “You’re asking me to help with such a trivial matter? That’s a low cost.” 

Valerie raised an eyebrow. “How do you want me to ask for your help?” 

Matthew said, “I haven’t decided yet, but if you perform well tonight, I might consider it.” 

Valerie immediately put her all into it. “Okay!“. 

She leaned in and gave him a quick kiss. “Does this count as a good performance?” 

Before she could pull away, Matthew held her head and kissed her deeply. Valerie felt dizzy and almost short of breath. After a long moment, Matthew released her. 

Valerie blushed and slapped him lightly. “You’re being ridiculous. We’re in the living room. What if someone sees us?” 

Matthew said, “So what? If they see, they’ll just avoid us!” 

Valerie laughed. “Is this enough?” 

“Not enough. I want more.” 

As soon as he finished speaking, Valerie stuffed a piece of fried chicken into his mouth. “Always taking advantage of me!” 

Matthew protested, saying, “You’re my wife. If I don’t take advantage of you, should I look for someone else?” 

“Dare you!” 

“No, I dare not. By the way, this fried chicken is really good!” 

Valerie was pleased. “Of course! I specially learned this from the chef. To win your heart, I first need to satisfy your appetite. I need to make sure you’re happy!” 

Matthew laughed. “You’d better make sure to please me. This dish looks good. I want more.” 

“Come on, I’ll feed you!” 

When Sophia came downstairs and saw the scene, she couldn’t help but smile. She was happy to see such a good relationship between the couple. 

Seeing Valerie feeding Matthew while sitting beside him with a smile, Sophia felt warm inside. 

Since Matthew’s parents passed away, he rarely showed such emotions. He was always decisive and cold with outsiders. 

When he took over the Noria–Group, he was just a child. Sophia had never seen him smile, always frowning. Now things were different. 

No one would have thought that Matthew could have such a warm side at home.
