Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 

Ashley and Matthew met cach other’s gaze. His dark gaze made Ashley shiver. For a moment, she could not even speak properly. 

Matthew did not look at Ashley. He looked at Valerie and asked, “Are you alright?” 

“I’m fine.” Valerie shook her head. She could not help but ask, “Mr. Grant, why are you here?” 

Matthew did not explain. Instead, he walked toward Aiden who had his toy snatched away. Aiden was crying so hard that his vision was blurry. When someone squatted down in front of him, he thought that the person was going to snatch his toy. He waved his hands pitifully. “I have no more toy…” 

At this moment, Matthew leaned into Aiden’s ear. No one knew what he said, but Aiden, who had been crying a second ago, suddenly stopped crying. “Really?” 

“Of course.” Matthew stood up and rubbed Aiden’s head. 

Seeing that Aiden had stopped crying, Jim could not help but mock, “Crybaby. Come and snatch it from me again if you dare.” 

Aiden could not help but want to retort, but when he thought of what Matthew had said just now, he suddenly smiled and looked at Jim from afar with sympathy. He said in a sweet voice, “Jim, Uncle Matthew said that you must be very pitiful. That’s why you snatched someone else’s toys.” 

This was the first time in Jim’s life that someone had described him as pitiful. He was stunned. 

Aiden added, “Uncle Matthew said that since you’ve never played it, I should let you have it. He even bought me three new sets of toys. When I’m tired of playing them, do you want me to give them to you, Jim?” 

Jim was stunned again. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Who wants to play with something you’re tired of playing with?” 

Jim was so angry that he wanted to hit Aiden. He usually bullied Aiden in private. As he was about to raise his fist like before, he felt a strong pressure before he could take a step. Jim met Matthew’s gloomy eyes and trembled in fear. He

thought. “What is wrong with this man? He is so scary! Jim hurriedly hid behind 

his father. 

The surrounding relatives looked at each other in surprise as they sized up the man who had suddenly appeared. In terms of heic appearance, and temperament, Matthew was definitely the eye ca 

of one. 

Everyone widened their eyes. They pulled Ruth aside and asked if this was Valerie’s husband and remarked on his good looks. 

Matthew pretended not to hear the voices around him. Marcus, on the other hand, was upset that his limelight had been stolen. Moreover, Matthew dared to bully his son and disrespected him. 

“Valerie, is this your husband?” Marcus asked. 

Valerie nodded. She did not expect Matthew to come. Moreover, he arrived at the most chaotic moment. She was a little embarrassed. “Mr. Grant, sorry for the 

chaos.” 

Matthew did not mind. After the last time, he had already expected it on the way here. Moreover, in terms of relatives, his family was not harmonious either. 

Marcus continued, “We’re all curious about who Valerie married. We didn’t expect you to come. Today is Ruth’s birthday. Don’t tell me you came empty–handed?”
