    Chapter 20


    Since Valerie had prepared wedding rings, Matthew forgave her for what she had done tonight.


    Matthew put the ring back in the box and stashed it away in his coat pocket.


    Valerie was relieved to see him take the ring from her. She said, “Mr. Grant, I hope you can


    consider what I just said. My brother wanted to meet you Would you be willing to meet my family if


    you have time?”


    Despite having an issue with Valerie, Matthew would still show her respect as he was married to


    her. “I’m not avable these days, but let’s the weekend.”

    “Okay, thank you, Mr. Grant! Valerie let out a sigh of relief secretly. She had used all her sales skills


    tonight, and it looked like she had finally made Matthew forget about being locked out.


    After she finished speaking, she was about to get up. Valerie forgot she was still wearing her wet,


    slippery bathroom slippers. As she stood up, she lost her footing and fell forward uncontrobly.


    Instinctively, she reached out to break her fall but then remembered the baby in her stomach and


    quickly shifted her focus to protect herself. She braced herself for the impact of hitting the ground


    and closed her eyes, but instead, she felt a pair of strong arms catching her and lifting her up. She


    was so scared that she immediately clung to Matthew’s neck for support.


    “Thanks!“Valerie said. She would havended on her face if it were not for Matthew


    Matthew frowned, thinking, ‘Despite eating so much, she weighs like a cat. I can even flip her over


    in the air. Besides…


    “You’re not wearing underwear!” Matthew asked.


    Marchew had just spoken and clearly felt the woman in his arms stiffen awkwardly. She slowly


    turned her head to him like a nasty robot. Her face was shed, and her voice was barely audible.


    “Thank you, Mr. Grant. I’m going back to my room if there’s nothing else.” The smile on her face


    disappeared. She barely could look at him, fled the scene after speaking, and mmed the door


    behind her.


    Matthew sat down on the sofa after staring at Valenc’s closed door for a moment. He loosened his


    the with his slender fingertips, and a faint smile appeared on his lips after a while. He thought,


    “What’s there to be shy about? I have seen her body long ago. Is it a little toote to be shy now?


    Besides, he still remembered that day when she asked him out to get married. She said she had


    hickeys on her chest and asked him if he would like to see. She was not shy at all then. “Why is she


    so nervous today? 1 thought she could only smile. Turns out there are other expressions on her


    face, soo he pondered.


    It took Valerie a while to calm down as she leaned against the bedroom door. Her heart was still


    pounding in her chest. She had tried to handle things smoothly, treating Matthew like a difficuh


    client. Bat Matthew suddenly hugged her, and she could feel his muscr body through her clothes


    and smell his fresh scent. Although he looked a little fierce and cold, he was still a handsome,


    muscr man of virility.


    Only then did Valerie realize that Matthew was not a client. No client would suddenly hug her and


    ask if she was wearing underwear. He was a grown man and herwful husband. Valerie suddenly


    became less confident about how to spend the next six months in peace with him.


    After standing there for a few more moments, she started feeling ufortable due to the sticky


    feeling on her body. She realized that she had only showered halfway and sighed hopelessly. She


    thought. “Well, let’s see how it goes.


    Their rooms were next to each other, and they had good sleeping habits The night was peaceful,


    and Valerie woke up to her rm the next morning.
