Chapter 126
Matthew said in a low voice, “If she’s as goorl as you said, time will tell.”
Sophia snorted. “You’re so stubborn now. When you fall in love later, let’s see if you are still so stubborn.”
Although Sophia was old, her eyes were sha When that man grabbed Valerie’s hand just now, her grandson’s expression changed Matthew clearly cared about Valerie, but he might not have realized it. She couldn’t wait to see what happened
next..
Matthew frowned. He did not like that Sophia was so sure he would succumb to Valerie. Although Valerie was not bad, it was only that. At the moment, he only knew that her relationship with her family was not good. He didn’t know what a daughter raised by those parents would be like.
Matthew said calmly, “Then just wait, Grandma.”
Sophia couldn’t be bothered to argue with Matthew. They had been talking outside for a long time. Sophia was afraid Valerie would feel neglected, so she quickly opened the door and entered the restaurant.
However, now that Sophia knew Valerie was her granddaughter–in–law, her attitude was more enthusiastic than before.
The food had all been served. Sophia sat down beside Valerie and grabbed her hand. She could not stop smiling. She had always liked Valerie, and now Valerie was like a treasure to her. Her wish had been fulfilled.
“Val, I didn’t expect you to be Matthew’s wife. Matthew is so infuriating. Marriage is such a big thing, but he hid it from us. From now on, you are part of our family,” Sophia said.
Valerie also felt that it was quite a surprise. She never thought the old woman she had saved was Matthew’s grandmother. Moreover, she had always been curious if Matthew had relatives. Now, she knew Matthew had grandparents.
Valerie–secretly glanced at Matthew. Matthew looked at her back indifferently. She was relieved and smiled at Sophia. “Sophia, don’t blame Matthew. I’m also

involved in this. Sorry for hiding it from you. Don’t be angry.”
“I’m not angry. I’m more than happy to have a granddaughter–in–law like you.” Sophia was very enthusiastic. “Speaking of which, you haven’t held a wedding yet, right? When do you plan to do it?”
Matthew took over the conversation. “We don’t plan to do it for now. We have been very busy recently and can’t find time. I plan to get along with her first before. thinking about it.”
Sophia was unhappy. “How can there not be a wedding…”
Valerie quickly chimed in, “Sophia, Matthew probably told you about our situation. There’s no hurry. We plan to take it slow.”
“Since Val has said so, alright,” Sophia relented. Although Matthew and Valerie said the same thing, Sophia’s attitude was different. She did not hide her double standards at all.
However, Sophia could compromise on the wedding for the time being but insisted on something else. “When are you bringing Val back? We can have a meal together as a family. She’s one of us now. I have to give Val a big present.”
Matthew compromised on this. “Alright. When we find time.” After all, the “home” had not been renovated yet. It would take some time. He could not bring Valerie directly to the Grant Manor.
Sophia was unhappy again. They did not want a wedding and even made excuses. not to have a family party. She did not realize that her eldest grandson was so infuriating in the past. She would see how Matthew would react if his wife ran away one day because of him.
Just then, Sophia suddenly remembered Valerie saying on the phone last night that she had found another woman’s perfume on her husband’s jacket. She thought, ‘Could it be…
Sophia’s face darkened and she immediately warned Matthew, “Matthew, since you’re married now, you must get along well with Val. The men in our family are never fickle. If you dare to do anything to let Val down, such as having an affair, I won’t let you off.”
