    As soon as Matthew opened the door, he could smell the fragrance of food in the


    Valerie ced thest dish on the table.


    “Mr. Grant, you’re back”


    Matthew nodded. The fat–loss meal in the afternoon was terrible, and the other meal with Lindsey


    was even more difficult to enjoy. He had been starving for the entire afternoon. Now that he smelled


    the fragrance of the food, he realized how hungry he was.


    Valerie took the empty lunch box from him and could not help but be surprised. “Mr. Grant, you


    finished all of them?”


    She had prepared a lunch box for him in the morning, but she guessed that there should be a little


    left. She did not expect the box to be empty.


    Matthew was too embarrassed to say that he had given his lunch box to Charles as Matthew


    wanted to lose weight. He regretted it after giving it to Charles and wished he could get his lunch


    box back. He nodded. “It’s quite delicious, so I ate everything.”


    After saying that, he nced at the four dishes and soup on the table. “There are so many dishes


    today.”


    Valeric chuckled and did not answer. She was happy to hear him praise her for preparing the


    delicious lunch. She quickly urged, “Mr. Grant, wash your hands and


    After saying that, she picked up a te and put some pasta on it. She had prepared three dishes


    before for Matthew to eat. He thought that they tasted good. Hence, today she cooked one more


    dish. Matthew did not expect her to remember his preferences.


    Today, Valerie specially made his favorite dishes and was so enthusiastic. Matthew raised his


    eyebrows slightly. “What do you need my help with?”


    Valerie was speechless.

    She wondered, “This man is so sharp!”


    Ashley didn’t know whether tough or cry she couldn’t help but tease, “Mr. Grant, are you a


    detective?”


    Before she could say anything, Matthew gu


    at she had a favor to ask of him.


    Matthew said seriously, “I’m not a detective. My details are on the marriage. license.”


    He thought to himself that this woman definitely could not remember his birthday. To think that he


    had specially remembered her birthday in order to meet Julian and Ashleyst time.


    Valerie knew that he had misunderstood and quickly exined, “I mean, Mr. Grant, your intuition


    and sense of smell are so sensitive. I haven’t even said anything yet. How did you guess that I need


    your help?”


    Valerie’s behavior was different. It would be strange if he couldn’t tell.


    Toozy to dwell on the subject, Matthew went straight to the point. “So, what kind of trouble are


    you in?”


    He thought that her mother hade to pester her again and wanted to get more money from her.


    He had seen many people over the years. Although some families were not on good terms, there


    were very few mothers like Ruth who did not do her duty as a mother but kept forcing Valerie for


    money. She would sell Valerie for a good sum of money if she could..


    Ruth did not raise Valerie with love and concern. Valerie was only 12 years old when she was


    chased out of the family and became homeless. How could Ruth be so shameless to ask for money


    or favors now?


    Valerie said, “It’s not trouble. I have a presumptuous request.”


    When Matthew heard this, he looked happier.


    When Valerie saw Matthew’s expression, she took the opportunity to call out, “Aiden,e out.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, and Aiden slowly walked out

    sistance to this uncle had


    Walking to Matthew’s side, Aiden took a deep breath and said what Valerie had taught him before,


    “Matthew, can you teach me how to y the piano?”


    The five–year–old boy in front of him was only as tall as Matthew’s thigh. He was shy and


    introverted, and his face turned red after he finished speaking.


    Valerie was afraid that Matthew would refuse, so she exined, “Mr. Grant, I know. this is very


    troublesome for you, but Aiden is serious about learning to y the piano. Can you teach him?”


    As soon as she finished talking, she realized that Matthew was quiet. She could not. help but feel


    nervous. She knew that Matthew was busy with work and would only want to rest after work. It


    would be too tiring for him to teach Aiden how to y the piano.


    Valerie was about to sigh regretfully when she heard Matthew’s puzzled.


    expression. “If you want to learn to y the piano, why did you buy an electronic keyboard?”


    Valerie exined embarrassedly, “Aiden’s mother said that unless he wins an award in the talent


    competition next month, he would be allowed to learn to y the piano. That’s why I bought an


    electronic keyboard for him to practice first.”

    “I understand now. How much foundation does Aiden have?”


    “Aiden has only a basic foundation. He only learned from their kindergarten music teacher. He can


    only y simple children’s songs….” After a pause, she suddenly realized something. “Mr. Grant,


    did you just agree to teach Aiden how to y the piano?”
