Chapter 127
Matthew was about to reassure Sophia, but when he saw sophiaâs serious. expression, he was surprised. He wondered if Sophia had hard something.
Sure enough. Sophiaâs next words were, âHave yo recently?â
Matthew knew he had guessed correctly. He sighed. âYes.â
Sophia was upset. Really? You are too muchâ¦â
âI saw Lindsey yesterday,â Matthew said.
seeing other women
Sophia was about to fly into a rage. But when she heard Matthew mention Lindsey. she swallowed her words. She was stunned at first, then her expression became complicated. She wanted to talk but hesitated. In the end, she sighed. She complained helplessly, âItâs the Santos family again. Our family does owe their familyâ¦â
Valerie didnât interrupt. She held her drink and drank it slowly.
However, Sophia could not bear to neglect her granddaughterâinâlaw. She held Valerieâs hand and said, âValerie, you probably donât know Lindsey⦠Well, how should I put it? The Santos family has some history with our family, but I can guarantee that Matthew only treats Lindsey as his sister. Donât worryâ¦â Sophiaâs words were hesitant as if it was complicated and she did not know how to explain. it to Valerie.
However, Valerie felt it did not matter if Sophia did not explain it to her. Although she was curious, she did not intend to ask about Matthewâs private matters. âAlright, Sophia. Since sheâs Matthewâs sister, itâs only right for them to interact. I wonât take it to heart.â Valerie chuckled.
When Sophia heard Valerie say this, she heaved a sigh of relief. âGood.â She gestured to the food. âThe food has turned cold after talking so much. Letâs eat.â
As Sophia spoke, she handed utensils to Valerie. Valerie was indeed hungry. After becoming pregnant, she was always hungry. She had eaten two buns and two eggs in the morning but was starving again. Valerie tried the roasted beef Sophia served

for her. The freshness and highâquality fat and protein of the meat was very satisfying.
Valerie ate happily and did not notice Matthew opposite her. His brows were furrowed and his face had darkened again,
Matthew took a sip of coffee and glanced at Valerieâs face. She really didnât find Lindseyâs matter strange.
When other peopleâs wives heard that their husbaIs were involved with other women, even if they were not angry, they would still ask about it. However, Valerie smiled and did not care. She focused all her attention on the food in front of her and ate with relish, as though she hadnât eaten in a long time.
The more Matthew looked at Valerie, the more frustrated he felt. However, he found his frustration very odd, so he could only suppress his emotions.
After the meal, Sophia couldnât help but urge Matthew again outside the dining room. âYou brat, you must remember to bring Valerie back for a family party. Donât forget.â
âGot it, Matthew said.
Sophia was angry when she saw how cold Matthew was and how he looked as if he wasnât paying attention to what she said. However, he had agreed. As for the rest⦠Sophia was smart. Matthew had a plan, but she had her own plans too. As long as she could keep this granddaughter-inâlaw, she could take it slow.
After sending Sophia into the taxi, Valerie waved goodbye. She only looked away when the car was out of sight.
âMr. Grant, Iâll alsoâ¦â Valerie had only applied for an hourâs leave and it was almost up. She was about to say that she should leave when she saw Matthew looking at
her.
Matthew said, âI have nothing to do with Lindsey. Iâm just entrusted by someone to care for her and meet her occasionally. Grandma said sheâs my sister, and itâs not wrong.
Valerie found it strange that Matthew would go out of his way to explain it to her. She nodded and said, âSure.â

Matthew added. âDuring our marriage, i
anything immoral. If you want to know more, I can tell you. If you have any rests, you can ask. Iâll consider them.â
Valerie wanted to say that it was alright. After all, they were only a temporary couple and would part ways sooner or later. Matthew could do whatever he wanted.
However, Matthewâs expression was a little serious. For some reason, it gave Valerie the feeling that⦠if she did not say anything today, he would not let her leave.
