<b>Chapter </b>213
<b>“</b><b>Why</b>” Matthew frowned.
“I’m sorry” Valerie did not want to say anything more, trying to push the door open.
Matthew put down the te an
and grabbed her wrist again. “If you <b>don’t </b>give me a good reason, I won’t let you go!?
He thought she had calmed herself, but out of his
expectations, she still wanted to <b>leave</b>. His expression darkened. It was hard to guess a woman’s thoughts. She was smiling in the living room just now, so why was she crying and even changing her mind!
<b>“</b><b>Is </b>it because of Grandpa You don’t like him?” After thinking it over, he <b>guessed </b>it might be rted to Nn. After all, she had known Sophia f?r a long time. Matthew was <b>about </b>to <b>exin </b>that although Nn looked strict, he had a soft heart. Moreover, he could tell Nn was quite fond of <b>Valerie</b>
“No, that’s not it. It has
It has nothing to do with Nn, Valerie denied.
Matthew frowned again. Since it had nothing to do with his grandparents, then what was it about?
<b>“</b>Valerie, tell me why. He had to know the reason.
Valerie was overwhelmed by his <b>imposing </b>manner. She knew Mathew would
not let go of the door handle and let her leave if she did not give him
<b>an </b>answer
She took a deep breath and confessed, <b>I’m </b>afraid I’ll cause trouble for Sophia and Nn Sophia and Nn haven’t watched the news yet, so they’re good to <b>me</b>. But <b>what </b>would they <b>think </b>of me if they knew about me and my family? Mr. Grant, please let me go. I don’t want to see them hate me…
No matter what she did, her <b>family </b>would never be happy with her. She was also used to pot being close to her family <b>and </b>stopped expecting the kinship <b>that </b>did not belong to her.
However, she did not expect <b>Sophia </b>and Nn to be so good to her. That kind of warmth was too precious for her
When Sophia and <b>Nn </b>were concerned about her just now, for a time, Valerie even felt like she was dreaming. The more beautiful the dream was, the more afraid she was of waking up <b>from </b>it. She might <b>as </b>well leave before the dream broke so she wouldn’t be disappointed
After she finished her words in embarrassment, she couldn’t stay there for another minute<b>, </b>so she turned the doorknob again.
But Matthew’s hand covered the back of her hand and stopped ber again. Then, he leaned over from behind. Her back was almost against his chest, and she could hear his faint smile in her car.
“Valerie, have y
you thought i of a possibility that Grandpa and Grandina might have known long ago?”
“What Valerie froze instantly ‘Sophia and Nn knew <b>about </b>this long ago? she wondered
How could that be possible? Why would they still be so good to me if they knew it long ago!” asked Valerie.
“<b>Because </b>they believe what they see more than hearsay. Besides, Valerie, Matthew looked at her and reminded her<b>, </b>“I know about you, too<b>. </b>Why aren’t you worried that I misunderstand you?”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Matthew’s breaths almost enveloped her Valerie was a little nervous and blurted out, “Mr. Grant, you’re different…
The answer surprised Matthew. He lowered his voice and asked. Then tell me, how am I different from others?
He was usually expressionless, but they were too close to each other then. The moment Valerie turned around, she fell <b>into </b>his burning brown eyes. She fell breathless and <b>didn’t </b>know how to speak for a moment
Moreover, she was stunned, wondering why she would have said that Matthew was different
Previously, when Valerie was at the family dinner with her brother, Julian, her mother suddenly appeared and asked her for 60 thousand dors. Under her mother’s aggressiveness, she was embarrassed and did not know how to face Matthew. She was even ashamed that Matthew had seen her pitiful side.
But then<b>, </b>she firmly believed Matthew would never misunderstand her <b>like </b>others.
Perhaps it was because Matthew defended her when her mother exposed her past that day.
Or perhaps it was because he suddenly showed up on the day of the birthday banquet to help her out.
Perhaps it was because he unexpectedly appeared to take her away when she was <b>almost </b>in despair just now,
They had not known each other for <b>long</b>. Valerie had only been with him so the baby could be born smoothly. She had even thought of <b>treating </b>him as her superior and boss. However, she did not know when it started that he could always give her an indescribable sense of security as long as he showed up
“So, what’s different about me?” Matthew <b>was </b>still pressing for <b>an </b>answer. His voice <b>was </b><b>naturally </b>lower. Now that he lowered his voice, it sounded
