Chapter 155
During dinner, Katherine talked about the team again. “By the way. Valerie, I’ve already chosen a location for the team. It’s lively and crowded on Ashland Street. I plan to choose that place”
“Ashland Street!” Valerie smiled. “What a coincidence. My brother’s fruit shop is also on Ashland Street”
Katherine immediately became excited. “Really? Then you have to introduce your brother to me later. He must be very familiar with that place. I want to ask for his advice.
Valerie nodded. Introducing Julian to Katherine was not a big deal. The problem was.. Valerie said seriously, “Katherine, I have something to tell you
The thought of Katherine doing such a thing to give Caleb a surprise made Valerie feel suffocated. However, she did not expect Katherine to avoid the topic and talk about how delicious today’s food was. Katherine even said, “My brother’s culinary skills are also not bad. Moreover, he opened a few restaurants out of interest. If you guys know each other, you will be able to get along well.
Matthew, who was sitting opposite Katherine, frowned again. She had secretly offered to introduce a partner to his wife. Now, she was poaching Valerie in front of him.
However, Matthew seemed to know someone who had opened several restaurants and whose culinary skills were not bad. One of them happened to have the last name Santos. He thought of something and his eyes darkened “Valerie, have you heard of Rust and Dine?”
Valerie was puzzled, “Of course, I’ve heard of it. Isn’t that the largest restaurant in Kranson City! I heard their pastries are the best” “If you’re interested, we can try it t
it together next time,” Matthew said.
After saying that, Matthew looked at Katherine. When he saw Katherine’s evasive gaze, he knew Katherine’s identity. It seemed he was right Katherine drank water guiltly. It was obvious she knew Matthew might already know her identity. She finally quietened and ate quietly, not daring to joke with Matthew like before.
After dinner, Katherine took her leave. Valerie did not have the chance to talk about Caleb.
Matthew knew Valerie was worried. “Although you are friends, you don’t have to teach her. You’re only a few years older than her. You’re both adults. Adults make their own choices in life. She might already know something, so let her think about it. If she’s hurt, it’s not too late for you to protect her.
What Matthew said did make sense. Valerie could only nod. Thinking she should go to her new job tomorrow, she put away her thoughts and returned to her room to prepare a professional outfit for tomorrow.
Valerie had just returned to her room when Matthew received a call from Sophia. “Matthew, I chose the birthday gift for the in–law. This is the first time you go to her birthday party. We can’t let others think that we’re neglecting them. How is it? Does the like it?”
Matthew took out the broken ruby bracelet from his pocket and recalled Ruth’s furious expression. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes
However, this was specially prepared by Sophia for Valerie’s mother. II Sophia knew that the bracelet had been broken, she would probably be angry and might even bear a grudge against Valeric.
Matthew put the bracelet back in his pocket and said calmly, “She quite like it. She has already accepted it”
“Tr’s good that she accepted it M up for this, our family will owe Val ber, Sophia uid,
you married Val but didn’t hold a wedding or meet up with the parents. That’s not nice. If you don’t make much. You have to treat Val better in the future. When will you bring her back! Your grandfather wants to see
“Got it. Matthew raised an eyebrow If his grandmother knew Ruth had already been sent to the detention room, h
he wondered what she would feel.
“By the way, Mathew, there’s something else I wanted to ask you” Sophia sounded hesitant. After a while, she asked hesitantly, “Is Valeri pregnant?
