<b>Chapter </b><b>35</b>
“Why do you think he’s not simple<b>?</b><b>” </b>asked Valerie.
“Look, the car he drives is a Land Rover, and he can drive it <b>so </b>skillfully.” Katherine had a surprised <b>expression</b>.
Valerie <b>was </b>convinced of the fact that Matthew was a chauffeur. “That’s his <b>boss’s </b><b>car</b>. He <b>is </b>a chauffeur<b>, </b>and of course, he is skillful.”
“But didn’t you <b>see </b>the expensive clothes he was wearing? And his <b>every </b>move was dignified.”
Valerie thought for a moment and said, “He dresses expensively because it’s required for his job, and as for you saying he’s dignified, it’s probably because he’s tall and well–built.”
“s<b>.” </b>Katherine <b>was </b>left speechless by her retort and couldn’t help but stamp her foot in frustration. “Trust me. From my years of experience in reading romance novels<b>, </b>mysterious men who are willing to ept a sh marriage like this are definitely not ordinary men. The luxury <b>car </b>he’s driving might be his own, and he may have many luxury cars in his garage. Believe it or not, he drives a different one every day.”
Valerie really couldn’t help butugh. “Katherine, you know it <b>was </b>something that only happened in romance novels. What happens in romantic novels is different from reality. If the man I casually find to marry is a rich and powerful CEO, then wouldn’t there be rich and powerful CEOs everywhere in the world? And I met his boss this afternoon. His boss is one of the leaders of Noria Group and is quite <b>easy</b>–going. He needs to apany his boss to and from high–ss asions, so the clothes he is wearing should be bought by his boss for him to wear on important asions. So, don’t be fooled. Mr. Grant is really just an ordinary guy.”
Unexpectedly, Katherine’s eyes lit up suddenly at her words. “Noria Group? Valerie, don’t you remember, that the CEO of Noria Group seems to be surnamed Grant? And your husband’s surname is Grant as well. Do you think…”
Valerie was amused. “You’re getting more and more outrageous. You’re not trying to say that my husband is the CEO of Noria Group, are you?” After that, she simply took Katherine to the fifth floor and pressed the code to open the apartment door. “Mr. Grant bought this apartment. If he’s really the CEO of Noria Group, do you think he would be willing to live in such a ce?<b>”</b>
The apartment <b>was </b>very big and the decoration was simple. Although it did not look so poor, it was definitely far from the luxury vis in TV dramas. After looking around, Katherine finally epted the reality. “Okay, it seems that kind of plot is really only present in novels.<b>”</b>
“Yes, so stop getting any more ideas<b>. </b>Valerie took out the drinks she bought yesterday from the refrigerator.
Matthew did do what he said that <b>as </b>long as Valerie didn’te into his room, he wouldn’t interfere with whatever she did in themon <b>area</b>.
Katherine took a small sip of her drink and couldn’t help but smile again. “sh marriage is indeed quite strange, but since you live here<b>, </b>you no longer have to be forced into marriage by your mother, nor do you have to suffer from the re of others. Your life is much more easier than before<b>.”</b>
<b>Valerie </b>thought for a moment and replied, “Indeed.”
“What <b>are </b>your next ns then?” Katherine became serious.
Valerie had certainly thought about her future ns. “Mr. Grant is <b>a </b><b>good </b>man and I will <b>get </b><b>along </b>with him during the <b>marriage </b>rtionship. Of <b>course</b>, during these <b>six </b>months, I still need to save up money the most. Although I <b>have </b><b>a </b>bit <b>of </b>savings, raising a baby requires a lot of money. What if <b>I </b><b>can’t </b>afford to raise him? <b>I </b>would be too sorry for him…<b>”</b>
“<b>No </b><b>worries</b>. <b>You </b>still have me. After the <b>baby </b>is born, <b>I </b><b>will </b><b>raise </b>him with you,” <b>said </b>Katherine with a smile.
<b>Valerie </b><b>was </b>amused by Katherine and smiled. “For <b>real</b>? That’s <b>great</b>. If I really <b>can’t </b>afford to raise the baby, I’ll <b>rely </b>on <b>you</b><b>.</b><b>”</b>
<b>Valerie </b>knew that Katherine <b>was </b>not talking big. Katherine was looking for a job when Valerie met <b>her </b>for the first time<b>, </b>with a designer outfit. The <b>reason </b>was simple <b>– </b>she was <b>a </bdy from a rich family and <b>was </b>unhappy with her family’s arranged marriage<b>, </b><b>so </b><b>she </b>left <b>her </b>family.”
But Katherine didn’t <b>have </b>the arrogance of <b>a </b>richdy, and she really managed to stand on her own two feet. In the past few months, she had put <b>away </b>her designer luxury goods and been like any other ordinary worker renting an apartment<b>, </b><b>eating </b>the same cheap food, <b>and </b>wearing ordinary professional clothes <b>every </b><b>day</b>. Therefore<b>, </b>no one in Arcton <b>Cars </b><b>except </b>Valerie knew her <b>background</b>.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
<b>Valerie </b>didn’t <b>really </b>know Katherine’s <b>specific </b><b>background</b>. She thought it was <b>very </b>rude to pry into other people’s <b>personal </b><b>matters</b>, and if Katherine <b>were </b>willing <b>to </b>tell, she would naturally <b>tell </b><b>her</b>. <b>However</b><b>, </b>she knew <b>that </b>Katherine had a good family background and that her monthly <b>sry </b>now <b>at </b><b>Arcton </b>Cars <b>was </b>probably not <b>even </b>enough <b>to </b><b>cover </b>the <b>cost </b>of buying her <b>previous </b><b>pair </b><b>of </b><b>shoes</b>.
“By the <b>way</b><b>, </b><b>are </b><b>you </b>keeping Caleb in the <b>dark </b>about <b>your </b>situation?” <b>Valerie </b>suddenly remembered <b>something</b>.
Katherine shrugged. “<b>My </b>family and I <b>are </b><b>in </b><b>a </b>mess right <b>now</b><b>. </b>There’s <b>no </b>point in <b>talking </b><b>to </b>Caleb about it <b>because </b><b>it </b><b>would </b><b>just </b>make him <b>worry </b>along with me. One day<b>, </b><b>if </b>my family <b>gives </b>up pushing me and I’m willing <b>to </b><b>go </b><b>back</b><b>, </b>I’ll <b>tell </b>him<b>.</b><b>”</b>
