Valerie’s eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure. “Thank you, Mr. Grant, but my mother hasn’t contacted me lately.”
Matthew felt that she was not telling the truth.” day, Valerie’s mother was simply unreasonable and rude to ask Valerie forty. How could she really not pester Valerie just because she said she won’t? However, since Valerie was unwilling to say it, he did not continue asking.
However, Valerie was quite touched. She did not expect him to still remember this matter. However, this was her family matter after all, and it was embarrassing. Valerie did not want Matthew to know too much. It was enough for her mother to pester her alone. She did not want her mother to create problems for Matthew as well.
Since Matthew showed concern for Valerie she wanted to reciprocate.
However, just as she was about to speak, her voice was suddenly stuck in her throat. She did not know what to say.
It was as if at this moment, Valerie suddenly realized that she seemed to know nothing about him. His parents were dead, so she did not know if he had other relatives. She only knew that he worked in the Noria Group and Mr. Hudson was his boss. Other than that, there seemed to be no other information.
Although they lived under the same roof and ate together every day, she knew nothing about his social circle, nor did she know who the perfume on his suit jacket was.
“By the way, I’ve already paid this month’s salary. After paying off the mortgage, I’ll transfer a portion to the card.”
“Okay.”
Matthew looked at her. “Use the money in your card to buy groceries. Cooking is already a difficult chore. Let me pay for the groceries.”
Valerie was stunned for a moment. “Mr. Grant, didn’t we say the expenses?”

Matthew only said that he would buy the big and more expensive items, and she would be in charge of smaller household supplies. Later on, after Matthew asked her to cook dinner, he gave her another c and asked her to specially use it to buy groceries.
Valerie originally thought that Matthew had made a good arrangement. After all, even if she did not cook for him, she still had to eat. She just needed to cook a little. more. Matthew also bought a dishwasher to save her the trouble of washing the dishes.
However, Matthew seemed to think that this was not enough and he decided to pay for all the expenses.
She had seen too many men who thought that housework was a woman’s responsibility. On the other hand, Matthew was usually cold and chauvinistic. However, what he did was not chauvinistic at all. He understood that cooking was not an easy chore, and it was considered housework. If he still asked her to pay for the groceries, it would be taking advantage of her.
Valerie nodded blankly and agreed.
After returning to her room, a light flashed in Valerie’s mind. She suddenly thought it through and her eyes lit up.
When he said that he would transfer money to her card just now, he sounded like her boss was giving her a salary. Moreover, it was a monthly payment. Thinking about it carefully, the relationship between Matthew and Valerie seemed to be just a disguised employment relationship. In that case, there was no need for her to worry about whether he was dating another woman.
After all, they did not marry because of love. The purpose of Valerie marrying Matthew was that she did not want to be forced to marry someone else. Then she could give birth without any trouble.
Valerie had finally convinced her brother that she was happily married. If she got a divorce now, all her previous efforts would be in vain. Moreover, her brother and mother would definitely persuade her to abort the child.

hild, she would have to divorce Mr. uld have sole custody of the child. Even
if her mother forced her, abortion could not be done after six months.
After figuring it out, Valerie could not help but heave a long sigh of relief.
The last time she watched a short video, she came across a topic. It was a married woman who asked, “I am shopping and suddenly I see my husband and his mistress. What should I do?“.
The woman did not have a job and was supported by her husband. Her husband gave her 4,000 dollars each month. In order not to lose this pocket money, not only did the woman not choose to catch the husband in the act, but she even hid
somewhere.
When Valerie saw the video, she did not think too much about it. She did not expect to become the protagonist of this topic today. Valerie immediately understood the other party’s situation and choice.
What should she do when she found out that her husband was dating another woman?
Of course, she would pretend that she did not know. Not only could she not divorce Mr. Grant now, but she also had to treat Mr. Grant better so that Mr. Grant/ could follow the agreement and get a divorce after six months!
