Chapter 99
Lately, Matthew had been eating with Valerie. Not only did his dietary structure change, but he also shifted from a low–sugar, low–fat, high–protein diet to a high–carb one. Although the nutrition was still somewhat balanced, the intake of fats had noticeably increased a for compared to before.
After Valerie finished showering, she went to the living room to get some water. She heard the sound of a treadmill running and someone jogging from the direction of the balcony.
The pace was quite brisk
“Mr. Grant, your physical fitness is really good” Valerie said. She admired silently, thinking that it was not easy for Matthew to maintain a muscular physique. Then, she yawned sleepily and returned to her room to sleep.
Even though her baby bump hadn’t started to show yet, the symptoms of pregnancy were gradually becoming more obvious. Lately, she got tired easily. She was either hungry or sleepy. Maybe this baby takes after the father and has such high energy, which is why I feel lisaless every day because of the baby’s restless activity, she thought
Before sleeping. Valerie called Katherine again. It was only upon confirming that Katherine had calmnest down that she felt at case
Little did she know that the sound of running on the balcony lasted for two hours before stopping.
Matthew was serious about controlling his physique.
In just a few days, he had already gained two pounds. If he did not control it, the number would only keep rising. He even regreted asking Valerie to cook more often that day.
But he was the one who brought up the request in the first place, so it wouldn’t be nice to refuse now
Thinking about how Valerie usually woke up early to prepare breakfast, Matthew deliberately woke up earlier than usual the next day.
Valerie had just woken up not long ago. She fed the hamster and was about to take her keys to go out and buy breakfast when she heard Manhew walking out of his room.
“Mr. Grant?” she said.
Valerie was a little surprised. She quickly took out her phone and checked the time. She thought she had gotten the time wrong.
Matthew guessed what she was thinking and spoke first. “I have to attend to something at the office, so I have to leave early today,” he said. “You don’t have to prepare breakfast for me.”
“I see,” Valerie said. “Drive safely as you head there, Mr. Grant. Remember to have breakfast when you get to the office”
“Okay,” Matthew said as he nodded. Then, he could not help but frown slightly and thought. “Why do I feel relieved when I see her not suspecting ́ ́anything? But anyway, as long as she believes it, that’s all that matters. I no longer intend to eat those high–carb breakfasts‘
Matthew took his briefcase and was about to leave Unexpectedly, Valerie suddenly called out to him when he was at the doorway.
“Mr. Grant, wait,” Valerie said as she handed him a food container. “I almost forgot to give it to you. I made spaghetti frittata with the leftover spaghetti from yesterday. But eating this in the morning may be a bit heavy. You can bring it along for lunch. Take care on your way. See you
Matthew was left speechless.
He carried the food container and left. When he was almost downstairs, he finally couldn’t help but be unable to suppress a smile.
He thought, Lurspertedly, I managed to avoid breakfast, but she still prepared lunch for me!
After Matthew left, Valerie couldn’t be bothered to go out and buy breakfast, so she casually cooked a small handful of sesame chicken lettuce
She took a plate, added a little prime and truffle oil to it, sprinkled some scallions, and surred it with some diced chicken breasts. Then, she str fried the chicken before spooning the sesame chicken mixture into the center of several felluce leaves. She didn’t even need any other trasoning. It was just a plate of simple sesame chicken lemuce wraps. For those with a sweet tooth, they could even shake a few grains of white sugar

Valerie received a phone call just as she was

“Valerie, it’s me. Did you forget something yesterday?”

back to Kranson City, Valerie suddenly remembered belatedly that she seemed to have forgotten to inform her colleague when she departed for Kranson City. She had left him in Vomez..
She quickly apologized profusely
Her male colleague had a good sense of humor and just laughed it off, not seeming to mind much
“It’s okay,” her male colleague said. “I subsequently heard that it was chaotic at the time. It’s only right for you to take Katherine away early. Valerie, don’t worry. I’m not upset. I called you because of another matter. Do you know that something seems to have happened to Mr. Hart…”
The male colleague didn’t know much. His words were vague
Fearing the
news might be incorrect or that Dylan wanted to seek revenge against her and Katherine, Valerie hurriedly went to the car dealership. After asking Ronald, she learned that something had indeed happened to Dylan.
“He drove under the influence of alcohol, and he drove against the traffic, Ronald explained. To avoid an oncoming truck, he made a U–turn and crashed into the guardrail, causing a serious car accident… His wife was in the front passenger seat. While the airbags saved their lives, she was seriously injured, and she lost the baby in her womb… Dylan himself was also covered in injuries all over the body from the glass shards of the car window, and he’s currently in the hospital undergoing treatment.
