Marrying

âThis young lady is really goodâlooking. Sheâs si
s simply like a celebrity! No wonder Matthew hid her and didnât let us see her!â said someone.
Valerie felt a bit awkward as she looked at the group of smiling people in front of her. It was the first time she had encountered such a Watching them all gather around her, she felt hoth amused and exasperated.
a large family.
Manhew clearly saw her discomfort and blocked them all for her. âItâs Vallieâs first time coming to the house; youâll scare her like this.â He quietly moved the people apart from her.
How could everyone not see itâ They could not help but tease Matthew, âLook, his heart is aching. Heâs afraid that weâll scare his wifeâ
Matthew, who usually seems like the King of Hell, would have such a considerate and gentle side toward women. Thisâs really
âI didnât expect M surprising!
âKeep your voice down. Matthew is only gentle with his wife. If he hears you calling him the King of Hell, youâll be in troubleâ¦.
Matthew heard them all. It was rare for him to be in a good mood today, so he did not argue with these people. He held Valerieâs hand and said. âTheyâre all relatives. Letâs get to know each other.â
Valerie was a little stunned. Then, she heard him introduce. âThis is Aunt, Uncle, this is Third Uncle,
Great Auntâ¦.
Valerie greeted them individually. Each time, the relatives would smile and pat Valerieâs hand, then give her a gift. âItâs the first time we met, the gift
is a must.
âYouâre pregnant for three months, right? Whatâs the due dateâ
âMathew, you didnât inform us in advance. Itâs too rushed and we didnât have time to prepare a gift. Hope you donât mindâ
The third aunt handed over a gift bag. Valerie opened it and realized that it was actually a check inside. She was shocked for a moment.
However, the person who gave the gift bag cast a resentful glance at Matthew, blaming him for notifying them too late. They really didnât have time to prepare the gift and could only use the most unrefined method.
Valerie was bewildered by them and secretly astonished. âMatthew has hidden from me that he has invited so many people. Didnât he mention only Sophia would be present? But now there are so many relatives that I canât possibly remember them all!
Valerie, come and sit here!â
âCome, have a drink!â
âWhat drink? Whereâs the seafood chowder? Hurry up and bring it over. You have two bodies now, so you have to nourish yourself!â
Valerie was overwhelmed by their enthusiasm. However, she did not know that a large part of the Grant familyâs friendliness was built on Matthewâs power. These people relied on Matthewâs abilities to maintain their prosperous lives, so they naturally showed her. Mrs Grant, a great deal of

She frowned slightly, saying âSome people are constantly messing around with romantic relationships and naturally project their own behaviors onto others, thinking that everyone else is just like themâ
This was clearly an insult to Fred who had recently been involved in a scandal with Angel Hearing this, Fredâs face darkened, and he was about to reproach Valerie for daring to sprak to him this way. However, Mattew glanced at Fred and spoke emotionless, âBut there is some truth in what you sud. Indeed, a womanâs status can rise with her child. And itâs not just any rise; itâs a significant one. From now on, she will be the young madam of the Grant family and also represent our family. Anyone who mistreats her is effectively slapping my face. As for social status, Valerie is not from a humble background either; sheâs a rising star and, if she wants, she can certainly make a place for herself in the entertainment industryâ
The meaning behind these words was selfâexplanatory. Fredâs face immediately darkened. His scandal with Angel had always been overshadowed by Matthewâs imposing presence whenever he clashed with Matthew. Fred felt a surge of anger, especially when thinking about how his woman, though attractive, had always chased after Matthew in the past and was rejected by Matthew. This only fueled his frustration further,
Just as he was about to retort, Lincoln coughed and walked over with a faint smile. âMathew, donât be angry. Itâs just that Fred has got into trouble
recently, so heâs easily irritated. Please forgive himâ Then, he looked at Fred. âApologize to Matthew.
âDad!â
Fred was reluctant. Lincoln frowned. âApologizelâ Seeing that Lincoln had emphasized his tone, Fred could only reluctantly mutter, âSorryâ

Lincoln then smiled at Valene and said. âMoreover, I think Matthewâs point is right. It doesnât matter if the social status doesnât match. Whatâs crucial is that the person has good character. I see Valerie as someone with blessings.â
The people beside him quickly chimed in. âThatâs right. You can tell sheâs blessed and also understanding and wellâbehaved.
Sophia nodded repeatedly from the side, feeling very pleased. âYes, I liked Valerie the moment I saw her. Sheâs smart, understanding, and well- behaved. In a few months, weâll arrange their wedding and let everyone know that the Grant family finally has a capable lady of the house!â
