Chapter 216

“Mathew, are we really not going to do anything about this?” Sophia was still

worned.

“Yes, listen to Valerie After knowing Valerie for a few days, he more or less understood what kind of person Valerie was. She looked gentle and easy to talk to, but she was actually stubborn. Since she had decided to deal with it herself, he would give her respect. If she encountered any difficulties, then he would take action.

More importantly, the Valerie he knew was not a weak little girl

Matthew asked, “Grandma, do you still remember that time when I asked you to get our of the car on the way back from the Anderson family!

Of course, Sophia remembered. She had only urged Matthew to get married that day, but Matthew had chaved her out of the car and asked her to drive herself back. She was so angry that she did not even want feest much that night.

However, now

now that she thought about it, since Matthew and Valerie had been secretly married for a while, he should have been married when she urged him to get married. No wonder he was so resistant to her urging him to get married.

Matthew said, “That day, her friend was almost injured as a bridesmaid. The car she took broke down. After I saw her. I sent her to the wedding venue, I saw with my own eyes that she injured several men with a kettle in order to save her friend”

Sophia was shocked. “Really? Val usually doesn’t show off, but I didn’t expect her to be so powerful.”

Nolan admired her. “One has to stand up for themselves sometimes. She was helping her friend. She’s quite righteous.”

Sophia snorted. “T didn’t say that it was bad, but she’s a girl after all. It’s easy for her to be at a disadvantage like this. Matthew, why didn’t you protect Val well back then…”

Matthew did not deny it. He had indeed gone late that day. If he had been with her at that time, he would not have let her fight alone. He still. remembered that day when he found her in the coffer room. She was in a sorry state and stubborn. She held the kettle in her hand as if she was holding a sharp sword. Her entire body was filled with muthlessness. Even though she was in a sorry state, she still protected Katherine Santos firmly. Matthew continued in an indifferent tone. “As for this aunt of hers, she did raise Valerie. She was only 12 years old when she started living with her aunt. From then on, she was responsible for taking care of her aunt’s family’s dady needs. She also had to work part–time on weekends and during the winter and summer vacations to support her aunt’s family. Therefore, instead of saying that she raised her, it would be better to say that they used food in exchange for a full–time nanny.”

“A full–time nanny needs to be paid. They can’t be dismissed with food! Sophia’s heart tightened. “Where’s her mother! Where’s her father? Where are her other relatives?

As soon as the words left her mouth, Sophia choked. She recalled that Valerie’s uncle was in the video just now. His attitude was even worse. As for that mother, she kicked her 12–year–old daughter out of the house. Sophia found this family really strange.

She thought, ‘God, what kind of environment did Valerie grow up in! It’s a miracle that she has turned out to be such an upright person!”

Although Mathew only said a few words, Sophia was already uncomfortable from listening. She did not dare to continue listening and simply interrupted Matthew. “Stop talking. In the future, we will take care of Valt We are all her family!!

Matthew had originally planned to continue talking about the strange matter of Ruth exchanging her daughter for a wedding gift. However, after hearing Sophia’s words, it seemed that he did not need to say anything che. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Okay”

While Sophia was feeling sorry for Valerie, Nolan’s gaze landed on Maithew.

He smiled, but his gaze was sharp. “Matthew has really changed a loc”

Matthew was confused.

Even Sophia came over and stared at him for a while.

They did not think so just now. Now that they thought about it, Matthew was usually a man of few words. He usually looked cold and never interacted with others much. This was the first time they had seen Matthew care so much about someone else. Moreover, Matthew had said much just now. It was obvious that he was deliberately speaking up for Valerie so that they would not misunderstand Valerie,

If she hadn’t heard it with her own cars, Sophia wouldn’t have known that Matthew could say such a long sentence at once

Matthew had never liked to talk since he was young. He would only say a few words at most. This made Sophia worried that Mathew had a problemn with stuttering, which made him unable to speak

She thought, “He’s changed now! This is good:

Nolan and Sophia’s mocking gazes made Mathew’s face darken. However, whether he admitted or denied it, it would only make them tease him and Valerie even more. He shook his head helplessly and did not dampen their mood

“But then again. Sophia thought of something. “Mathew, Val is a good girl. When do you plan to tell her about our family? We can’t keep it from
