Chapter 127
Matthew was about to reassure Sophia, but when he saw sophia’s serious. expression, he was surprised. He wondered if Sophia had hard something.
Sure enough. Sophia’s next words were, “Have yo recently?”
Matthew knew he had guessed correctly. He sighed. “Yes.”
Sophia was upset. Really? You are too much…”
“I saw Lindsey yesterday,” Matthew said.
seeing other women
Sophia was about to fly into a rage. But when she heard Matthew mention Lindsey. she swallowed her words. She was stunned at first, then her expression became complicated. She wanted to talk but hesitated. In the end, she sighed. She complained helplessly, “It’s the Santos family again. Our family does owe their family…”
Valerie didn’t interrupt. She held her drink and drank it slowly.
However, Sophia could not bear to neglect her granddaughter–in–law. She held Valerie’s hand and said, “Valerie, you probably don’t know Lindsey… Well, how should I put it? The Santos family has some history with our family, but I can guarantee that Matthew only treats Lindsey as his sister. Don’t worry…” Sophia’s words were hesitant as if it was complicated and she did not know how to explain. it to Valerie.
However, Valerie felt it did not matter if Sophia did not explain it to her. Although she was curious, she did not intend to ask about Matthew’s private matters. “Alright, Sophia. Since she’s Matthew’s sister, it’s only right for them to interact. I won’t take it to heart.” Valerie chuckled.
When Sophia heard Valerie say this, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Good.” She gestured to the food. “The food has turned cold after talking so much. Let’s eat.”
As Sophia spoke, she handed utensils to Valerie. Valerie was indeed hungry. After becoming pregnant, she was always hungry. She had eaten two buns and two eggs in the morning but was starving again. Valerie tried the roasted beef Sophia served

for her. The freshness and high–quality fat and protein of the meat was very satisfying.
Valerie ate happily and did not notice Matthew opposite her. His brows were furrowed and his face had darkened again,
Matthew took a sip of coffee and glanced at Valerie’s face. She really didn’t find Lindsey’s matter strange.
When other people’s wives heard that their husbaIs were involved with other women, even if they were not angry, they would still ask about it. However, Valerie smiled and did not care. She focused all her attention on the food in front of her and ate with relish, as though she hadn’t eaten in a long time.
The more Matthew looked at Valerie, the more frustrated he felt. However, he found his frustration very odd, so he could only suppress his emotions.
After the meal, Sophia couldn’t help but urge Matthew again outside the dining room. “You brat, you must remember to bring Valerie back for a family party. Don’t forget.”
“Got it, Matthew said.
Sophia was angry when she saw how cold Matthew was and how he looked as if he wasn’t paying attention to what she said. However, he had agreed. As for the rest… Sophia was smart. Matthew had a plan, but she had her own plans too. As long as she could keep this granddaughter-in–law, she could take it slow.
After sending Sophia into the taxi, Valerie waved goodbye. She only looked away when the car was out of sight.
“Mr. Grant, I’ll also…” Valerie had only applied for an hour’s leave and it was almost up. She was about to say that she should leave when she saw Matthew looking at
her.
Matthew said, “I have nothing to do with Lindsey. I’m just entrusted by someone to care for her and meet her occasionally. Grandma said she’s my sister, and it’s not wrong.
Valerie found it strange that Matthew would go out of his way to explain it to her. She nodded and said, “Sure.”

Valerie wanted to say that it was alright. After all, they were only a temporary couple and would part ways sooner or later. Matthew could do whatever he wanted.
However, Matthew’s expression was a little serious. For some reason, it gave Valerie the feeling that… if she did not say anything today, he would not let her leave.
