 were served, Valerie’s cake was also ready. Matthew turned to Chef Russo, who nodded and said, “Mr. Grant,

 “Thank you for your hard work.” Matthew said as he handed over a check. Chef Russo took the check with a smile and responded, “Enjoy your meal, and Happy New Year!”

 Matthew nodded, and Valerie couldn’t help but exim, “100 thousand dors” She thought, “A state banquet chef is truly worth that much! It’s good to have a specialty!

 Matthew nodded and exined, “Each dish costs 2 thousand dors. We provided the ingredients, and since it’s the New Year, the price is a bit higher, but overall, it’s reasonable.” He then led Valerie outside, where Nn and Sophia were already seated, and called for Valerie to join them.

 Valerie looked up and was astonished to see a giant lobster on a 3–foot–long tter on the table. The presentation and the array of dishes were truly mouthwatering. “What a huge lobster!” she eximed.

 Matthew exined, This Austrolobuer was delivered this morning. The ingredients are fresh, so we felt confident serving it to you.”N?velDrama.Org ? content.

 “How much does it weighs?” Valerie asked.

 Ryan chimed in. “It’s about six pounds, We specifically chose this weight for good luck and prosperity!”

 Valerie was surprised by the many details that wealthy families put into their meals. Sophia patted the sear and said. “Come, sit beside me.

 “This dinner was specially prepared for you. I’m so happy that Matthew is no longer alone, and it makes me d, too!”

 Valerie felt profoundly and said. “I feel the same way. Meeting Matthew has given me a home” She and Matthew exchanged smiles, recognizing that finding each other was their most incredible fortune

 Matthew poured Valerie a ss of freshly squeezed juice and served his grandparents and himself wine. “Here’s to a new year where all our wishese true, and everything prospers,” he and Valerie wholeheartedly agreed, looking forward to the new addition to the family this year. She ensildn’t wait; the house would be lively and joyful once the baby arrived.

 Hearing his words, everyone felt joyful and raised their sses in unison to toul

 Valerie looked at Matthew beside her and took his hand. Admiring the dishes on the table, she couldn’t help but take a photo, eximing. “So beautiful! Truly worthy of a top chef! She had initially thought that sure banquet chefs were just about making delicious food, but she was amazed by their sense of aesthetics and perfect color coordination. She realized that mastery in any field could lead to bing a leading figure and camming substantial rewards.

 Matthew carefully served the dishes for her while Sophia watched the couple with great satisfaction. She thought, After all these years, I’ve finally seen Matthew seule down and start a family. He has someone who cares for him, and I feel like I’ve fulfilled my mission

 Sophia drank more in unusually high spirits today, and Nn did the same. Having watched over Matthew and the Grant family for so many years, they felt content seeing him now with a hammonious family, which brought them great joy.

 After the meal, Valerie brought out the desserts. Unlike the borate and beautifully crafted ones by the state banquet chef, these were made with her and Matthew’s heartfelt effort. ‘Grandpa, Grandma, this is the cake Matthew and I made together. Please give it a try!”

 Sophia was thrilled, saying, “After all these years, I finally get to enjoy something made by my grandchildren. Before you came, not only did Matthew rarely step into the kitchen, but he didn’t even cook for me. Now that you’re here, everything is different! It shows that having a wife changes a person, Valerie, make sure to train him well!”

 Valerie smiled at Matthew and said, “Thank you for teaching Matthew so well. He takes such good care of me and is wonderful with the baby. As Valerie and Sophia exchanged praise, Matthew and Nn stood by, unable to speak.

 The New Year’s atmosphere was distinctly festive as the family gathered together. After the meal, Sophia took out a satin gift bag and handed it to Valerie. “This is your New Year’s gift for your first year celebrating at the manor, she said.

 “Thank you, Grandma Valerie graciously epted it and, feeling the thickness, could tell it contained several thousand dors.

 Sering Valerie’s reaction, Sophia smiled and nudged Nn, saying, “And yours?”

 Nn quickly took out a gift bag and said, “Valerie, this is for you. Since you’re pregnant this year and it’s New Year’s, we’re giving you double. It also includes a portion for Matthew and the baby in your belly!”

 Nn’s gift bag looked much thinner byparison. When Valerie picked it up, she realized it contained a bank card. Nn smiled as he watched lier reaction

 Valerie quickly thanked him and waved triumphantly at Matthew. Matthew couldn’t help but smile, thinking she was so easily pleased by two gilt bags

 Matthew felt sympathy, knowing Valerie’s childhood and understanding that her parents would never have given her New Year’s gifts. It might be her very first experience receiving such a gift.

 Every year brought its gift, and every moment brought its joy.

 For a moment, Valerie couldn’t help but wonder what her biological parents might have been like. She wondered if they would have been kind and warm and if her childhood would have been filled with more joy and warmth had the grown up with them.
