Chapter 623
Valerie could not help but shake her head when she saw this. “The human heart is unpredictable. This is what they deserve.”
Only then did Sophia turn around and look at Valerie while holding her hand. “Valerie. I’ve let you suffer these past few days
Valerie shook her head. Tin fine. As long as you’re safe and sound, I’m relieved.”
When Sophia thought about how Valerie had been living in fear for so many days and how she still had to fight with Lincoln, Sophia’s heart ached.
When he saw Valerie’s pale face, Matthew hugged her in his arms. “I came late and made you suffer, I am sorry.”
“I’m fine, but you scared me to death!” Valerie’s heart was in her throat at the thought of Matthew weaving through the hail of bullets in Qebriuland
She felt that it was already a blessing that Matthew could return safely
Matthew took a deep breath. He had been thinking about Valerie all the time in Qebriuland. When he heard that something had happened to her. he tried his best to find all kinds of opportunities to come back. He finally made it.
He did not even dare to think about the consequences if he did not return in time. He felt that Valerie would definitely be destroyed by Lincoln and
Fred
Matthew felt his fists harden when he thought about how she had no way to plead with anyone even though she was pregnant and was almost bullied by Fred.
He said. “Since we’re safe and sound, let’s go back first
After experiencing so many things for so many days, everyone was exhausted.
Valerie had the same thought. Katherine also heaved a sigh of relief. After witnessing all this, she still had lingering fears, especially about the scandal. She didn’t know how Valerie should explain herself.
However, when she saw Valerie’s gaze, Katherine was finally relieved.
Back at home, Sophia went to rest. Valerie pulled Matthew and said. “When I saw the photos Charles sent me, my heart tightened. You encountered a gunfight and disappeared. What exactly was going on?”
Matthew said calmly. “It’s nothing. The gunfight was between the local armed forces and a trafficking group. It implicated us. I accidentally fainted from the explosion. After I woke up. I immediately came back to look for you?
Matthew said it casually as if it was not a narrow escape but an insignificant game. However, Valerie knew that this was not simple.
She leaned on him closely. “You should not go over there again. I’m worried about you.
Just by looking at the photos, Valerie was shocked. The scene was even more tragic than what she had seen. “Have you found out what you’re looking for?
Matthew shook his head. “No, because something happened at the last minute, we completely lost contact with our informant. However, I left someone there to set up an inescapable net. As soon as there’s any news, they will report it to me.
Matthew did not want to tell Valerie about Ethan for the time being. Hearing that, Valerie was relieved.
However, she thought of the overwhelming scandals and video photos of her and Louis. She wondered how she should explain it to Matthew.
Although Lincoln and Fred had been chased out, these scandals were sull on the trending searches.
Valerie could not help but take a deep breath. She did not know what to say to him. “Matthew, actually Louis and I
Matthew said. “Honey. I’m tired. I’m going to take a shower first. Get me something to eat!”
Hearing his words, Valgrie had no choice but to nod her head. She quickly made food for him, Valerie felt more at ease than ever in the kitchen.
After Matthew took a shower, he saw the food and side dishes that Valerie sent over. His heart almost melted. This feeling was really too good.
When he returned home, he would have his family to accompany him, his virtuous wife, and the food she had personally cooked. Matthew felt he couldn’t ask for anything more.
When he was in Qebriuland, he missed the food cooked by Valerie the mout. Now, he could finally eat it.
Valerie looked up and saw Matthew coming out of the bathroom. Ils wet hair was dripping with water, and there was only a towel around his waist, revealing his muscular upper body. His abdominal muscles were obvious, and for a moment, she blushed. “The food is here. Eat it. Fll go out first!”

She put down the plates and was about to leave when she bumped into a warm embrace.
“Not so fast, let me hug you!” Matthew held her tightly and refused to let go. He looked at her pregnant belly and reached out to touch it, feeling the interaction between the little life and him.
The temperature of Valerie was getting higher and higher. Matthew kissed her cheek. Valerie was instantly embarrassed. “Stop fooling around! Alright, let’s eat! Let’s stop fooling around”
Letting go of Valerie, Matthew smiled. “Okay, I’ll try it now. When I was in Qebriuland, I kept thinking about when I could come back to eat your cooking. Now I’ve finally eaten it. How were your days when I wasn’t around!”
“I’m fine, but…” Valerie wanted to say something but hesitated. After holding it in for a few seconds, she secretly said, “I almost burned down the Grant Manor. You won’t blame me, right!“
in. More than half of the wall outside had been burned and it was pitch–black.
Actually, Matthew had already seen it when he came in.
As soon as he returned, he found out that Lincoln and Fred had bullied Valerie. Therefore, no matter what Valerie did, it was understandable to Matthew.
Matthew immediately smiled. “That’s nothing. It doesn’t matter
However, he still admired Valerie for being able to face everything by herself at this time. Matthew gave her a thumbs up. “You are amazing!”
Valerie was smug. “Of course. You don’t know this, but when he refused to let me in, I turned around and started a fire. He then flew into a rage!”
Matthew could not help but laugh. Valerie made it sound as if nothing had happened. However, he could imagine that only when she was forced to the extreme would she think of setting fire to the manor. He felt pity for her.
Matthew reached out and rubbed her head. Be careful when you do this next time.”
Valerie was stunned. “Is there a next time?
“No, there won’t be a second time. I’ll always protect you. I definitely won’t let you get hurt? Matthew pecked her lips lightly. The skin on his upper body was hot against her back, making Valerie’s heart beat faster.
“Are you and the baby all right while I’m away?” He looked calm, but he was actually panicking inside. He did not expect her to go through so many things after he had only left for half a month. At such a dangerous time, he was not by her side.
