Chapter 130
“If you’re here to deliver lunch, I’ve received it. You can leave now.” Matthew regained his composure and turned his gaze back to the computer. “I need to work.”
Lindsey felt aggrieved by Matthew’s cold tone but knew he was a workaholic. If she disturbed him while he was working, he would be angry. Seeing this, Lindsey could only pick up her bags and leave.
However, after walking a short distance, the more Lindsey thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. From Matthew’s expression just now, it was obvious that he was thinking about someone or something. It was the first time. Lindsey saw such a gentle gaze on Matthew’s face.
As Charles was about to enter the office to report to Matthew, Lindsey saw him and stopped him. “Charles, be honest. Is Matthew dating someone?”
Charles was so frightened he shuddered. He did not dare to discuss his superior’s private matters and quickly shook his head. “Miss Lindsey, I’m just an assistant. Assistants specialize in random tasks. I don’t know about Mr. Grant’s private
matters…
Lindsey fumed. “Idiot, you’ve been with Matthew for so long, but you know nothing. Keep your eyes peeled. If something happens around Matthew, tell me immediately and you’ll be rewarded. Get it?”
“Alright. I’ll listen to you, Miss Lindsey,” Charles said.
Lindsey snorted. “There’s nothing in the world that I can’t do. Sooner or later, I’ll make Matthew fall in love with me.”
“Good luck, Miss Lindsey.” Charles agreed readily, but he was a smart person. The person who paid him was Matthew. Unless he went crazy, he would not risk offending his superior and work for Lindsey.
Besides, Matthew was not dating a woman. He got married. Even if Charles wanted to–cozy up to someone, he would cozy up to his boss’s wife.

Valerie returned to the company and finished the last half–day shift at Arcton Cars. In the afternoon, the examiner from Noria Group came to interview Valerie.
While Valerie wasn’t smart, she was good at studying since young. She had long memorized the information Noria Group gave her. The assessment passed very smoothly. She could report to Noria Group’s headquarters at the beginning of next week.
After saying goodbye to Ronald and her colle. es, Valerie returned her work pass and went home.
Valerie was still very excited about her salary increase starting next month. After all, she was living with Matthew now, so it was not good for her to continue working part–time, which meant she would lose a sum of money. Although it was not a lot, it was still a few hundred dollars. It was a pity. However, she could make up for it next month, so it was not a loss.
However, since Valerie couldn’t do her part–time job of dubbing, she wasn’t idle either. For the past few days, she had been thinking about another way to manage her finances and earn money. She wanted to save more money before giving birth.
As Valerie thought, she rode her scooter straight to her brother’s shop.
Her sister–in–law was also looking after the shop today. Seeing that the couple did not quarrel today, Valerie was relieved. Then, she shouted into the shop, “Aiden.”
Aiden was looking forward to practicing the piano. When he heard the shout, he hurriedly rushed out with his small bag. “Aunt Valerie, why are you only picking me up now?” The kid was complaining.
Valerie said, “Aiden, you don’t need to bring your bag to practice the piano. Put your bag down.”
However, Aiden shook his head. Valerie thought the bag had some snacks, so she let him be. After putting the helmet on Aiden, she waved at the shop and said, “Julian, I’ll take Aiden away.”
“Wait, Valerie. I almost forgot to tell you something important.” Julian thought of something and quickly chased after her. However, he hesitated and said, “Valerie, do you still remember Mom’s birthday?”
Chapter Hin
Valerie replied, “I remember. Tomorrow, right? I prepared 600 dollars to give her Although she rejected her mother’s endless demands, she would still try to support
her mother.
Julian sighed. “It’s Mom’s 49th birthday tomorrow. There is supposed to be a huge celebration next year when she’s 50 but More no. She plans to celebrate her
birthday early, so…”
Valerie understood. To organize a huge birthday celebration, there would need a lot of money and give a big gift.
When her mother saw Valerie was not giving her living expenses, she decided to celebrate her birthday in advance. She really tried all sorts of ways to get Valerie to fork out the money.
Julian said, “I’ve already booked the birthday party at Spring Hotel. You don’t have to worry about anything else. Just leave it to me. I’ve already paid for it. When the time comes, just give Mom a gift as a token of appreciation and play nice. You know Mom likes that the most.”
Valerie replied, “Julian, don’t worry. I know.” Since it was Ruth’s grand birthday. 600 dollars was definitely not enough.
you.
Julian nodded. “Alright. Do as you see fit. If it’s not enough, I’ll add more for You’re already planning to buy a piano for Aiden. I can’t let you be too tight on money.”
“Julian, don’t worry. I still have some savings,” Valerie responded.
The most fortunate thing for Valerie was that no matter what, her eldest brother always doted on her. The siblings supported each other.
At this moment, Julian asked again, “By the way, Mom already knows you are married. Will he go to the birthday party tomorrow?”
