Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276 

Half an hour later, the car stopped at Slotmond Estate. 

Seeing Matthew carrying Aiden upstairs, Valerie hurriedly took him and said, “Let me do it. 

Without a word, Matthew directly picked up Aiden and turned to leave. He thought to himself. With her thin arms and legs, Valerie might hurt herself if she kept carrying Aiden 

However, Matthew found it somewhat unbelievable as he looked at Aiden, who was sound asleep in his arms. 

He had always thought children were too dull and troublesome and he had never considered interacting with them. 

Firstly, most children were afraid of him. Secondly, though he had siblings in the family, none had ever given him peace of mind. He could not say he was very fond of children. But since Aiden arrived, it seemed that life was not so bad. With a child around, there was more laughter and joy. 

He carried Aiden while Valerie jogged ahead to open the door, and the trio looked very much like a family. 

This thought flashed through his mind, surprising Matthew himself. 

However, if it were true, it did not seem bad… 

His eyes focused intently. At that moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. Thinking it was something related to work. Mathew did not pay much attention. He glanced at it casually and was about to put the phone back. But his eyebrows, suddenly furrowed deeply as his eyes swept across the screen. 

He instantly felt an overwhelming feeling of surprise, confusion, and shock… 

At that moment, Valerie was entering the door code, If she had turned her head, she would have been surprised by the complex expression on Matthew’s face. 

“Mr. Grant, the door is open. Come in and put Aiden down. Thank you for your hard work, Valerie’s voice interrupted him 

Matthew snapped out of his thoughts, took another deep look at the phone screen, then quickly closed the interface and replied, “Alright.” 

He placed Aiden on Valerie’s bed and removed his shoes and coat The little guy was sleeping so soundly that he did not even frown, making it clear he could not be woken up to brush his teeth. 

Valerie, who was worried he might get thirsty during the night, filled a cup of water and placed it on the bedside table. She then thanked Matthew, 

Just as she was about to say goodnight, she suddenly remembered what Aiden had said that morning about wanting her and Matthew to sleep together. The words “goodnight” got stuck in her throat, and she could not utter it, leaving her feeling awkward. 

Matthew suddenly moved closer at this moment, and Valerie was caught off guard by his actions. Her heart skipped a beat at the familiar scent of him! 

“Matt, Matt…” she stammered as her mind raced, ‘Could he really be planning to sleep here?” 

Just as Valerie stiffened. Matthew suddenly stepped back. She stared blankly at the coat in his hand, realizing he had just been picking up his coat, and she almost misunderstood. 

However, she could not help but feel that he did it on purpose. 

Seeing her looking like a frightened bird, Matthew was not surprised at all. As he raised an eyebrow, he finally decided to let

her off the hook. 

“Go to sleep early. Goodnight, he said. Afterward, he turned and left, closing the door for her. 

Valerie stared at the door in a daze for a while. Although Matthew’s departure did indeed relieve her, she somehow felt a mess of emotions in her heart. She felt like seeds of inexplicable feelings were taking root and sprouting and that it was ready to bloom at any moment. 

She turned to look at the soundly sleeping Aiden and could not help but pinch his little face. 

She silently blamed Aiden for saying so many embarrassing things without any filter, causing her to overthink everything. 

However, thanks to this little commotion, she did not worry about her eldest brother’s affairs and slept well that night. In her sleep, she even started having a strange dream. 

In the dream, she and Matthew walked on a lawn and were enjoying the beautiful scenery. Suddenly, Matthew knelt on one knee and took out a ring to propose to her. 

She was incredibly surprised, and the surrounding passersby and tourists began to cheer. She shyly nodded at Matthew, who then put the ring on her finger, and they embraced each other. 

But in the text second, Matthew suddenly took out her ultrasound picture and questioned her on its authenticity, asking how she could deceive him. He angrily tore the ultrasound picture to pieces and grabbed her arm, saying he would abort the child. 

Passersby pointed and whispered as the torn pieces of paper flew in the air. 

She panicked instantly but could not speak. Valerie shook her head frantically as she begged.
