Chapter 106
Valerie brought a chair over for Sophia to sit down and said, “Sophia, if you want to talk to someone, just come over, or you can text me on WhatsApp. You don’t need to do any work for me. I’m willing to chat with you.”
“Great, great, great!” Sophia said.
She was overjoyed when she heard that. ‘It’s hard to find such a gentle and obedient girl, she thought. ‘She’s like a needle in aystack. She was even more determined to make Valerie her granddaughter–in–law.
Sophia thought, ‘Since I want to make her my granddaughter–in–law, I can’t let her have too much prejudice against that brat at home.‘ She then cleared her throat and tried to improve Valerie’s impression of her grandson, saying, “Although my family doesn’t care about me, I do have a grandson who’s not bad. It’s just that he’s too devoted to his career and is usually quite busy.”
Valerie thought, ‘Indeed. He’s so busy that he left an elderly lady, who has difficulty moving around, to cross the road alone.”
She remained unmoved, saying, “No matter how busy people are with work, it’s not as important as caring for their loved ones. Sophia, you don’t have to make excuses for them. If people can’t even protect the ones they love, no matter how many achievements they make at work, it’s useless.”
Sophia was a little anxious as she listened.
She had initially wanted Valerie to sympathize with her so that she could take the opportunity to get closer to Valerie. That was why she portrayed herself as a pitiful. lonely old woman.
She thought, ‘Valerie does believe me, and she does care a lot about me as well. But the bad news is that she has already formed a negative impression of that brat. This is bad!‘
Sophia quickly explained, “But young people nowadays have it tough. I’m not in good health. They’re so busy with work because they want to earn more money so that I can live a little more comfortably.”
Chapter 100
“I see, Valerle said. “Sophia, your grandson is a dutiful grandson after all.”
When Sophia noticed that Valerie’s attitude had softened, she immediately heaved. a sigh of relief. Then, with a big smile on her face, she seized the opportunity and began to speak positively of her grandson make him desirable with all her might.
She said, “Yep. Yep. Not only is he a dutiful grandson, he’s actually quite good- looking. I’m not exaggerating, but many celebrities on TV aren’t as handsome as him. Also, he’s very tall. You know how popul at ‘cutest height difference‘ thing is among you young girls now. If he were to stand next to you, it would definitely be the cutest thing ever!”
Valerie thought, ‘Cutest? Am I that short?”
She sensed that something was off. “Sophia, do you have other intentions for telling me this?” she asked.
Sophia liked smart people. She immediately became frank, saying, “Val, my grandson is a good guy. It’s just that he’s a little shy and introverted. He doesn’t like to talk to girls, so he’s been single. I think you are a good girl. I just don’t know if you’d be interested in my grandson.”
If Matthew knew that his grandmother described him like this, he would probably be annoyed.
Valerie felt a mix of amusement and annoyance upon hearing that.
Sophia was anxious. “You don’t believe me, huh?” she said. “I swear to you that my grandson is not a bad person…”
“Not at all,” Valerie said, quickly interrupting her. “Sophia, I believe that your grandson is a good person, but I’m already married.”
Sophia said, “Eh…”
Sophia gasped in astonishment, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Valerie shook her ring, saying, “Sophia, look. This is our wedding ring.”
Sophia stared at the ring for a while and finally accepted the fact that Valerie was

already married. But she felt dizzy right after that, realizing that despite meeting Valerie so many times, she did not notice her wearia wedding ring.
She was heartbroken, thinking, ‘Why did this fine yo lady get married so early? Come to think of it, it’s not surprising… With such a gentle and beautiful girl, if I like her, others naturally will too. Any family that takes a liking to her will be eager to make her a part of their family.
Sophia then remembered that when she went to Noria Group yesterday, Matthew was eating a box lunch made by an unknown girl, and he refused to tell her who made it, keeping it a secret.
She thought, ‘One is already married, and the other seems to become involved with another woman… It seems that the two of them are really not fated to be an item. To think that I wanted to be a matchmaker. Sigh!‘
Sophia was heartbroken.
