Marrying

“Matthew, do you think it’s best for me to get a leather jacket and wear a pair of sunglasses now so that I can intimidate those officials?” Thinking that he was going there to avenge Valerie, Nathan was filled with fighting spirit. 

Matthew glanced at him coldly. “Boring.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Nathan thought, “It makes sense. The Grant family does not need leather clothes and clubs to hold up the fort. The name of Mr. Grant is already more useful than anything else! 

However, just as they were about to get off the elevator, a woman’s surprised voice suddenly came from behind. “Matthew… I knew you would come and see mel‘ 

At the same time, a figure jumped into Matthew’s arms happily. 

Matthew fell silent. 

As soon as Matthew left, Valerie took a sip of water. When she thought of Matthew’s nervous expression just now, she was a little dazed. It turned out that Matthew could have such an expression on his face. 

But then again, although he had explained why he did not receive the call because Nathan had forgotten to give him his phone, he did not say why he had suddenly left when she was hospitalized that day. She wondered if anything happened that day. 

Valerie glanced out of the window. She still wanted to go out and bask in the sun. She casually put on a coat and shuffled to the corridor in her slippers. 

She texted Katherine and asked Katherine to buy her a looser set of pajamas. She also called Manny. She had to take leave again. 

Manny was not surprised. Firstly, she did a good job. Secondly, Manny really could not figure out her background, so he agreed vaguely and told her to rest well. 

After Valerie hung up the phone, she heard hurried footsteps behind her and someone almost bumped into her. 

Valerie subconsciously covered her stomach and took two steps back. The other party reacted quickly and supported her. The two of them looked up and were stunned when they saw each other. 

“Valerie!” Louis stared at her in surprise. “Why are you here? What’s going on?” 

Valerie realized that Katherine had not told him about the car accident. She was a little disgusted by Louis’s last speech, so her attitude was a little cold. She said calmly. “It’s nothing. There was a car accident. 

“Car accident? Where did it happen? Are you alright?” Louis asked persistently. 

Valerie had no choice but to tell the truth. “It’s not a big issue. At that time, at the intersection of Mountain Road and River Road, we collided with 

another car” 

Unexpectedly, Louis was shocked when he heard this. He wanted to say something but hesitated. “Mountain Road? Isn’t that…” 

Louis stopped abruptly and did not say anything else. Instead, he quickly looked at her and said to her in a tone like he was lecturing Katherine, “Since you’re injured, why aren’t you resting? What are you doing here? I’ll send you back to the ward.” 

Valerie could not help but remind him, “Mr. Santos, I still know my own body. You should have other things to do, right? You don’t have to worry. Besides, my husband is coming back later. I don’t want him to see us together and cause unnecessary misunderstandings” 

She especially emphasized the word “husband“. Her words rendered Louis speechless. 

Only then did Louis react. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Are you still angry with me from last time? Miss Warren, can I apologize again? I was really joking with you last time… 

She said, “It’s only a joke if both sides find it funny. Mr. Santos, you’re not in the same class in society as us. Your so–called joke is just a form of mockery to us.” 

Louis fell silent. 

He thought, “What do you mean, not in the same class?” 

He almost couldn’t help but curse. If there was a hierarchy, no one in Kranson City was more capitalist than Matthew. Only she was still kept in the dark. She felt that Matthew was an honest working class. 

1/2 

2/2 

However, just as he was about to blurt out these words, he remembered that Matthew had threatened him with Louis Restaurant. In the end, he swallowed his words. 

Finally, he sighed helplessly. “Miss Warren, what can I do to make you forgive me! 

She said. “Mr. Santos, you don’t have to ask me to forgive you” 

Since he had already hurt others, there was no point in apologizing anymore. Valerie did not care about giving him a slap before giving him a sweet date. 

She had lived for more than 20 years, and there were countless people who had hurt her. Most of the time, she could ignore them, but her bottom line was her self–esteem. She would never have a deep relationship with anyone who crossed her bottom line. 

Valerie said, “By the way, Mr. Santos, you should have other things to do at the hospital, right?” 

His words finally reminded Louis that he was indeed here because he had something important to do. When he suddenly met Valerie, he actually forgot about it. However, when he saw Valerie leave, he was unwilling to accept it. He could not help but chase after Valerie and wanted to persuade her again. 

Valerie was amused. “Mr. Santos, you should go do your own things first…. 

As she spoke, she walked forward and was suddenly surprised to find Matthew still standing at the elevator. 

She thought, “Didn’t he say that he had something to do and would only be back in two hours? Why is he back sis quickly” 

Valerie was about to go forward and greet him. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a woman with a band–aid on her forehead cried and threw herself into Matthew’s arms.
