Chapter 216
“Mathew, are we really not going to do anything about this?” Sophia was still
worned.
“Yes, listen to Valerie After knowing Valerie for a few days, he more or less understood what kind of person Valerie was. She looked gentle and easy to talk to, but she was actually stubborn. Since she had decided to deal with it herself, he would give her respect. If she encountered any difficulties, then he would take action.
More importantly, the Valerie he knew was not a weak little girl
Matthew asked, “Grandma, do you still remember that time when I asked you to get our of the car on the way back from the Anderson <b>family</b>!
Of course, Sophia remembered. She had only urged Matthew to get married <b>that </b>day, but Matthew had chaved her out of the car and asked her to drive herself back. She was so angry that she did not even want feest much that night.
However, now
now <b>that </b>she thought about it, since Matthew and Valerie had been secretly married for a while, he should have been married when she urged him to get married. No wonder he was <b>so </b>resistant to her urging him to get married.
<b>Matthew </b>said, “That <b>day</b>, her friend was almost injured <b>as </b>a bridesmaid. The car she took broke down. After I <b>saw </b>her. I sent her to the wedding venue, I saw with my own <b>eyes </b>that she injured several men with a kettle in order to save her friend”
Sophia <b>was </b>shocked. “Really? Val usually doesn’t show off, but I didn’t expect her to be so powerful.”
<b>Nn </b>admired her. “One has to stand up for themselves sometimes. She was helping her friend. She’s quite righteous.”
Sophia snorted. “T didn’t <b>say </b>that it was bad, but she’s a girl after all. It’s easy for her to be at a disadvantage like this. Matthew, why didn’t you protect Val well <b>back </b>then…”
Matthew did not deny it. He had indeed ge that day. If he had been with her at that time, he would not have let her fight alone. He still. remembered that day when he found her in the coffer room. She was in a sorry state and stubborn. She held the kettle in her hand <b>as </b>if she was holding a sharp sword. Her entire body was filled with muthlessness. Even though she was in a sorry state, she still protected Katherine Santos firmly. Matthew continued in an indifferent tone. “As for this aunt of hers, she did raise Valerie. She was only 12 years old when <b>she </b>started living with her aunt. From then on, she was responsible for taking care of her aunt’s family’s dady needs. She also had to work part–time on weekends and during the winter and summer vacations to support her aunt’s family. Therefore, instead of saying that she raised her, it would be better to say that they used food <b>in </b>exchange for a full–time nanny.”
“A full–<b>time </b>nanny needs to be paid. They can’t be dismissed with food! Sophia’s heart tightened. “Where’s her mother! Where’s her father? Where are her other rtives?
As soon <b>as </b>the words left her mouth, Sophia choked. She recalled that Valerie’s uncle <b>was </b>in the video just now. His attitude was <b>even </b>worse. As for that mother, she kicked her 12–year–old daughter out of the house. Sophia found this family really strange.
She thought, ‘<b>God</b>, what kind of environment did Valerie grow up in! It’s a miracle <b>that </b>she has turned out to be such <b>an </b>upright person!”
Although Mathew only <b>said </b>a few words, Sophia was already ufortable from listening. She did not dare to continue listening and simply interrupted Matthew. “<b>Stop </b>talking. In the future, we will take care of Valt We are all her family!!N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
Matthew had originally nned to continue talking about the strange matter of Ruth exchanging her daughter for a wedding gift. However, after hearing Sophia’s words, it seemed that he did not need to say anything che. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Okay”
While Sophia was feeling sorry for Valerie, Nn’s gazended on Maithew.
He smiled<b>, </b>but his gaze was sharp. “Matthew has really changed a loc”
Matthew was confused.
<b>Even </b>Sophia came over and stared at him for a while.
<ol>
<li>e. She then nodded meaningfully. “Indeed.”</li>
</ol>
They did not think so just now. Now that they thought about it, Matthew was usually a <b>man </b>of few words. He <b>usually </b>looked cold and never interacted with others much. This was the first time they had seen Matthew care so much about someone else. Moreover, Matthew <b>had </b><b>said </b>much just now. It was obvious <b>that </b>he <b>was </b>deliberately speaking up for Valerie so that they would not misunderstand Valerie,
If she hadn’t heard it with her own <b>cars</b>, Sophia wouldn’t have known that Matthew could say such a long sentence <b>at </b>once
Matthew had never liked to <b>talk </b>since he was young. He would only say a few words <b>at </b>most. This <b>made </b>Sophia worried that Mathew had a problemn with stuttering, which made him unable to <b>speak</b>
<b>She </b>thought, “He’s changed now! This is good:
<b>10</b>
Nn and Sophia’s mocking gazes made Mathew’s face darken. However, whether he admitted or denied it, it would only <b>make </b>them <b>tease </b>him and Valerie even more. He shook his head helplessly and did not dampen their mood
–
“But then <b>again</b>. Sophia thought of something. “Mathew, Val <b>is </b><b>a </b>good girl. When do you n to tell her about our family? <b>We </b><b>can’t </b>keep it from
