Chapter 179
Finally, after a careful inspection, Charles found that the washing machine was not broken, and Matthew did not make any operational errors. The washing machine did not work because Matthew did not plug it in.
Realizing that he had made such a lowâlevel mistake, Matthewâs face darkened.
On the other hand, if it werenât for his marriage, he probably wouldnât have had to learn to use the washing machine for the rest of his life.
Moreover, after washing the clothes, he had to dry them one by one. Some colored clothes had to be washed separately. As Matthew listened to Charlesâs explanation, his tightly furrowed brows never relaxed. He was thinking that he had never heard Valerie complain about these extremely tedious chores. How did she do it with ease!
After Charles left, Matthew picked up the food box and went to Valerieâs door. Just as he was about to push the door open and enter, he heard voices coming from inside..
Valerie was on the phone.
She said. âIâm fine. Itâs just a small cold. Donât be silly again. You actually dare to commit suicide. If you do it again, Iâll fall out with you! No, thanks. You also need to rest now. You donât need to come to see me, Besides, Iâm not alone at home. Mr. Grant is staying at home to take care of me. With him around. Iâm already much better.â
From the sound of it, the person on the phone should be Katherine Matthew had received Louisâs gratitude last night and knew that Katherine had calmed down after being brought back. People would always be impulsive. After calming down, they would regret their impulsive decisions.
Katherine was the youngest daughter is the Santos family. The two elders of the family did not care much about her. She had grown up overcas and was naturally rebellious. Even though Louis cared about her as her eldest brother, it could not make up for the absence of fatherly and motherly love. That was why she was deceived by Calebâs sweet words after she met him,
Fortunately, she had been hiding her identity. If Caleb knew that she was the third daughter of the Santos family, he might have kept lying to her. The consequences would have been even more unimaginable. Now that she had seen Calebâs true colors early, she had stopped her losses in time.
In comparison, because of her, Valeric, who had a high fever of nearly 104 âF, was not much better.
A trace of gloom appeared in Matthewâs eyes.
Valerie was so worried about other peopleâs matters, but in the end, she was sick and was still trying to be stubborn. Matthew thought that she was simply silly. He refused to admit that he was still unhappy because he thought of the wedding photo that she had left in the corner.
At this moment, Valerieâs laughter suddenly came through the door.
She said, âKatherine, donât worry. Mr. Grant is really a very, very good person! Last night, he patiently took care of me for the entire night. He didnât even have a good rest himself. In all my life, other than Julian, Iâve never met anyone better than him!â
On the other end of the line, Katherine finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then Iâm relieved. Valerie, take good care of your health. Donât worry about
Meâ
The two of them chatted for a while more. Matthew, who was outside the bedroom, didnât really listen.
His mind was filled with Valerieâs words.
She said, âIn all my life, other than Julian, Iâve never met anyone better than him!â
Matthew wondered. At least she knows whatâs good for her:
Matthew did not even realize that he was smiling. Most of his displeasure from the wedding photo had dissipated.
Thinking of something, he called Charles and asked him how to use the blender.
In the room, when Matthew pushed the door open and entered, Valerie had just finished her call. When she saw him enter, Valerie immediately smiled and reported to him that Katherine was safe.
Matthew already knew about it last night, but he did not show it on his face. He only said calmly. âThatâs goodâ
Valerie said, âYes, thereâs one more thing. Katherine said that her brother, Mr. Louis Santos, Invited me to go to their house when I recover.â
Matthewâs expression was originally very calm, but when he heard Louisâs name, his eyes immediately darkened. âIs there something he wants to talk to you about?â
