Valerie heard then conversation in the kitchen. Her

ortunately. Aiden did not mention it again. After Valerie finished cooking, she observed Matthew’s expression. Seeing that he did not suspect anything, she heaved a sigh of relief.
After dinner, Aiden practiced the piano for two hours. As Valerie was about to send Aiden back. Julian called and said he was already downstairs. Valerie and Matthew. sent Aiden downstairs.
Julian, why are you here? It’s the same if I send Aiden back, Valerie said.
Julian drove a small truck that was usually used to transport fruits. After placing Aiden in the front passenger seat, he took out two crates of fruits from the back of the truck.
I wanted to give you these. It’s been hard on you these few days, Matthew,” Then, Julian said to Valerie, “Besides, how can I keep troubling you to send Aiden home? Even if you don’t mind as an expecting mother, as a soon–to–be uncle, I have to think about my future nephew. Valerie, you’re pregnant now, so you have to rest.
Valerie froze when she heard this because Matthew was standing not far behind. her. She was so frightened that she quickly pushed Julian. “Julian.”
Julian immediately reacted and did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Sorry, I slipped. I almost forgot. Alright. I won’t say anymore. I’ll leave first. From tomorrow onward, I’ll pick Aiden up.
After saying that, Julian got into the car and waved at Matthew. When he drove away. Aiden leaned against the window. “Aunt Valerie, Uncle Matthew, see you
tomorrow.”
Matthew also waved at Aiden and walked toward Valerie. Valerie was not sure if he had heard Julian’s words just now. For a moment, she could only stand there uneasily. Then, she heard Matthew’s cold voice. “Valerie, I have something to discuss with you.”

Valeric panicked when she heard the serious tone. She subonsciously covered her abdomen. Her mind was filled with thoughts of what she would do if Matthew. wanted to take the child. He had a job and a house. She might not be able to compete with him. Valerie wasn’t sure what she could do.
“If you plan to buy a piano for Aiden, I can pay half the price,” Matthew said.
“Huh?” Valerie did not expect Matthew to discuss this with her with such a serious. expression. She did not react for a moment.
Matthew thought that Valerie did not agree. He pondered for a moment and said slowly. “Aiden is obedient. Moreover, after so many years, he is the first child who is not afraid of me…”
Perhaps it was Valerie’s imagination, but she sensed embarrassment on Matthew’s cold face. She was shocked that he could look shy. Valerie moved closer to get a better look.
Perhaps it was because she was holding back her laughter too obviously, Matthew’s face darkened. “Are you laughing at me?” he said. His tone was dangerous.
If it were before, Valerie would be afraid that Matthew would be angry. However, after interacting with him for so many days, Valerie had never seen him really angry. Although some people looked extremely fierce, they were not mean. Valerie felt Matthew was one of them.
Moreover, there was something special about Matthew.
Valerie replied, “Mr. Grant, I think you’re not scary at all. Those who are afraid of you don’t understand you. You’re quite a nice person.”
Matthew sneered. “Do you think you can brush me off with a casual remark?” Even so, his expression was warmer than before.
It seemed Matthew was indeed super easy to coax. Valerie shook her head. “I’m not lying. If I’m, then let me gain ten pounds.”
Matthew glanced at Valerie and she quickly swore solemnly. In her heart, she secretly added that the oath could take effect when she was in the late stages of
