Chapter 295
Just as she was about to blurt out, a large hand reached over.
Julian actually snatched her phone and started talking to Matthew, “Yeah, Matthew, it’s me. Valerie is indeed at this hospital. You should hurry over. We’re waiting for you.”
Valerie was utterly frantic. “No… Julian…”
But Julian had already hung up the phone.
Seeing Valerie’s anxiety, he couldn’t help but sigh. “Valerie, I don’t understand why you felt the need to hide something as significant as being pregnant from Matthew, but I have to remind you one thing. You’ve been married to Matthew for quite some time now, and I can tell he genuinely cares about you. Finding a good partner isn’t easy. Look at me and Ashley. We ended up
in this situation because we didn’t understand each other well enough. I made a mistake in my judgment
“But I see Matthew as a good man. You’d be better off sitting down and having a proper conversation with him. I believe that as long as there’s communication between a husband and wife, there’s no hurdle that can’t be overcome. Concealing things will only create conflicts and misunderstandings.”
Hearing this, Valerie remembered the last time Matthew helped her solve a problem and even took her back to his grandparents‘ house. He knew she lacked familial warmth and had his grandparents act as her family for support. Despite his cold demeanor, seemingly indifferent to everyone, he was actually the most reliable person she knew.
“But,
Seeing her torn and hesitant, Julian gave a bitter smile and continued, “Valerie, in matters of the heart, honesty is crucial. The child belongs to both of you. If you keep hiding it from him, how is that any different from what Ashley did when she secretly took Aiden away?
“Valerie, you need to explain things clearly. Happiness is something you have to seize.”
Valerie suddenly felt a shock run through her body.
She had to admit that Julian was right. Her actions were essentially no different from Ashley’s.
‘More importantly, seizing happiness? she thought to herself.
‘Matthew, is he her happiness? Cane really have that?‘ he wondered.
In that instant, many thoughts flooded her mind. Katherine had asked her similar questions before, but she hadn’t dared to delve into them. Now, Julian’s push was forcing her to confront them.
Absolutely, in fact, there was another path that she and Matthew could choose. They were married, and regardless of the reasons behind their marriage, if they could continue getting along like this, it might not be so bad.
Matthew liked children and would make a good father, and he treated her well, too, which would make him a good husband. She felt lucky to be married to him, and she didn’t seem to mind continuing as they were, being his wife, growing old together.
Is this what liking someone is? Or is it love? she wondered.
Valerie felt a sudden thump in her chest as if something had struck her heart. Thinking of Matthew’s face, she touched her belly and took a deep breath, as if making a firm decision. “Okay when he gets here. I’ll tell him everything.”
In fact, their six–month agreement could be entirely extended.
Somehow, after making this decision, Valerie suddenly felt a bit of anticipation, wondering how Matthew would react when

he found out.
Hearing this, Julian finally felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief
His own love life was a mess now, but the way Valerie and Matthew interacted seemed harmonious. He hoped Valerie could. be happy and seize her happiness.
Valerie smiled. “Julian, you should go back. Aiden has been through enough today. Take him home to rest, and you need to deal with Ashley quickly. Don’t let her affect Aiden again.”
Julian thought about it and realized there was no reason to refuse. He wanted to continue taking care of Valerie, but with Matthew coming soon, he didn’t want to intrude on their time together, so he nodded.
However, Aiden clung tightly, running over to Valerie. “I don’t want to leave you. I want to protect Aunt Valerie.”
