Chapter 99
Lately, Matthew had been eating with Valerie. Not only did his dietary structure change, but he also shifted from a low–sugar, low–fat, high–protein diet to a high–carb one. Although the nutrition was still somewhat bnced, the intake of fats <b>had </b>noticeably increased a forpared to before.
After Valerie finished showering, she went to the living room to get some water. She heard the sound of a treadmill running and someone jogging from the direction of the balcony.
The pace was quite brisk
“Mr. <b>Grant</b>, your physical fitness is really good” Valerie said. She <b>admired </b>silently, thinking that it was not easy for Matthew to maintain a muscr physique. Then, she yawned sleepily and returned to her room to sleep.
Even though her baby bump hadn’t started to show yet, the symptoms of pregnancy were gradually bing more obvious. Lately, she got tired <b>easily</b>. She was either hungry or sleepy. Maybe this baby takes after the father and has such high energy, which is why I feel lisaless every day because of the baby’s restless activity, she thought
Before sleeping. Valerie called Katherine again. It <b>was </b>only upon confirming <b>that </b>Katherine had calmnest down that she felt at case
Little did she know that the sound of running on the balconysted for two hours before stopping<b>.</b>
Matthew <b>was </b>serious about controlling his physique.
In just a few days, he had already gained two pounds. If he did not control it, the number would only keep rising. He even regreted asking Valerie to cook more often that day.
But he was the one who brought up the request in the first ce, so it wouldn’t be nice to refuse now
Thinking about how Valerie usually <b>woke </b><b>up </b>early to prepare breakfast, Matthew deliberately woke up earlier than usual the next day.
Valerie <b>had </b>just woken up not long ago. She fed the hamster and was about to take her <b>keys </b>to go out and buy breakfast when she <b>heard </b>Manhew walking out of his room.
“Mr. Grant?” she said.
Valerie was a little surprised. She quickly took out her phone and checked the time. She thought she had gotten the time wrong.
Matthew guessed what she was thinking <b>and </b>spoke first. “I have to attend to something at the office, so I have to leave early today,” he said. “You don’t have to prepare breakfast for me.”
“I see,” Valerie said. “Drive safely as you head there, Mr. <b>Grant</b>. Remember to <b>have </b>breakfast when you get to the office”
“Okay,” Matthew said as he nodded. Then, he could not help but frown slightly and thought. “Why do I feel relieved when I see her not suspecting ? ?anything? But anyway<b>, </b><b>as </b>long as she believes it, <b>that’s </b>all <b>that </b>matters<b>. </b>I no longer intend to eat those high–carb breakfasts‘From N?velDrama.Org.
Matthew took his briefcase and was about to <b>leave </b>Unexpectedly<b>, </b>Valerie suddenly called out to him when he was at the doorway.
“Mr. Grant, wait,” Valerie said <b>as </b><b>she </b>handed him a food container. “I almost forgot to give it to you. I made spaghetti frittata with the leftover spaghetti from yesterday. But eating this in the morning may be a bit heavy. You can bring it along for lunch. Take care on your way. See you
Matthew was left speechless.
He carried the food container and left. When he <b>was </b>almost downstairs, he <b>finally </b>couldn’t help but be unable <b>to </b>suppress a smile.
He thought, Lurspertedly, I managed to avoid breakfast, but she still prepared lunch for me!
After Matthew left, Valerie couldn’t be bothered to go out and <b>buy </b>breakfast, <b>so </b>she casually <b>cooked </b>a small handful of sesame <b>chicken </b>lettuce
She took a <b>te</b>, added <b>a </b>little prime and truffle oil to it, sprinkled some scallions, and surred it with <b>some </b>diced chicken breasts. Then, she str fried the chicken before spooning the sesame chicken mixture into the center of several felluce <b>leaves</b><b>. </b>She didn’t even need any other trasoning. It was just a te of simple sesame chicken <b>lemuce </b><b>wraps</b><b>. </b>For those with a sweet tooth, they could even shake a few grains of white sugar
vall just <b>as </b>star was about to brush rating
Valerie received a phone call <b>just </b><b>as </b>she was
“Hello” she wid
“Valerie, it’s me. Did you forget something yesterday?”
This your shocked Valene. It was the
male colleague who went to me with her yesterday. After she and Matthew found Katherine, they took her

back to Kranson City, Valerie <b>suddenly </b>remembered btedly <b>that </b>she seemed to <b>have </b>forgotten to inform her colleague when she departed for Kranson City. She <b>had </b>left him in Vomez..
She quickly apologized profusely
Her male colleague had a good sense of humor and just <bughed </b>it off, not <b>seeming </b>to mind <b>much</b>
“It’s okay,” her male colleague said. “I subsequently heard that it was chaotic at the time. It’s only right for you to take Katherine away early. Valerie, don’t worry. I’m not upset. I <b>called </b>you because of another matter. Do you know <b>that </b>something seems to <b>have </b>happened to Mr. Hart…”
The male colleague didn’t know much. His words were vague
Fearing the
news might be incorrect or that Dn wanted to seek revenge against her and Katherine, Valerie hurriedly went <b>to </b>the car dealership. After <b>asking </b>Ronald<b>, </b>she learned that something had indeed happened to Dn.
“He drove under the <b>influence </b>of alcohol, and he drove <b>against </b>the traffic, <b>Ronald </b>exined. To avoid an oing truck, he made a U–turn and crashed into the guardrail, causing <b>a </b>serious car ident… His wife was in the front passenger seat. While the airbags <b>saved </b>their lives, she was seriously injured, and she lost the baby in her womb… <b>Dn </b>himself was <b>also </b>covered in injuries all over the body <b>from </b>the ss shards of the car window, and he’s currently in the hospital undergoing treatment.
