Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34 

Matthew turned his head and saw a woman clutching a bag in her hand and glaring at him aggressively. “I’m warning you, Valerie is my friend. Don’t think you can do anything bad to her. Let her go, or I’ll call the police, right now.” 

Matthew instantly felt speechless. ‘Valerie, what kind of friends have you made? Do I look like a bad guy?‘ 

“Do you know who I am?” Matthew’s unpleasant tone made Katherine think he was arrogantly threatening her. 

Katherine winced at Matthew’s glare, but after glancing at Valerie, who was unconscious in Matthew’s arms, she gathered her courage to glare at Matthew and pulled out her cell phone angrily. “I–I don’t care who you are. I’m telling you, the police station is right around the corner. I’m going to call the police if you don’t release her.” 

Katherine’s voice woke Valerie up. She opened her eyes in a daze and immediately felt embarrassed when she realized she was in Matthew’s arms. She remembered that she had fallen asleep in the car just now and Matthew was supposed to be trying to carry her upstairs. She didn’t expect Katherine, who had suddenly arrived, to mistake Matthew for a kidnapper. 

Looking at Matthew’s darkened face, Valerie was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to say. Afraid that Katherine would really call the police, she hurriedly broke free from Matthew’s arms. “Katherine, he’s not a bad guy. He’s my husband.” 

“Huh?” Katherine was dumbfounded. 

Valerie hurriedly reiterated, “Really, and look, I’m fine.” After that, she hurriedly pacified Matthew. “Mr. Grant, don’t be angry. Katherine misunderstood you because she hadn’t seen you before. Please don’t take it to heart…” 

Misunderstood? Do I look like a bad guy?‘ Although Matthew was upset, he felt a little better when he saw Valerie apologizing to him carefully. Felt bothered to spend more time on Katherine, he turned toward Valerie and said, “I have something else to do. You can get upstairs by yourself, can’t you?” 

Valerie knew he was supposed to be heading back over to the Noria Group to pick up his boss, and she nodded hurriedly. “Yes, I can.” 

Matthew then went back to the driver’s seat and drove off. 

After Matthew left, Katherine rushed to Valerie’s side. “What the hell is going on here? When did you get married? How come I’ve never heard you talk about it before? And… this man is so scary!” 

She had just been glared at by him for a few moments and was on the verge of tears. 

Valerie didn’t know how to explain for a moment. “I wanted to talk to you about it before, but I didn’t find the right opportunity. By the way, why did you come to me all of a sudden?” 

Katherine shook the bag in her hand, which contained boxes of medicine. “You hurt your arm this morning, and I guessed you didn’t have time to go to the hospital, so I bought some medicine for you. But when I just entered the gate, I saw that man holding you, and you were unconscious with your eyes closed. So, I misunderstood that he was… Sorry, sorry!” 

It had been almost a day since Valerie got injured, and Katherine was still thinking about it, which moved Valerie a bit. As for Katherine misunderstanding Matthew, it could not blame Katherine becasue Valerie did not tell her clearly. Valerie hurriedly comforted Katherine and brought her upstairs, explaining truthfully why she married Matthew. 

“For real?” Before they even entered the room, Katherine couldn’t help but exclaim directly at the corridor entrance of the building. Realizing this was bad, she hurriedly lowered her voice, but disbelief was still filled with all over her face. “I’ve always thought that you’re a super–rational person and I didn’t even think you’d actually flash–marry.” 

“Actually, before this, I never thought I would get married so suddenly. My mom was pressuring me so hard; if I didn’t marry, she would definitely force me in various ways. I don’t want to be sold by her for money, and…” Valerie touched her still–flat belly, the corners of her mouth rising slightly. “And it’s the only way I can get them to agree to me keeping the baby.” 

When she finished, she was a little sheepish. “Will you think I’m irresponsible in doing this?” 

“No. Everyone has the right to choose how they live their lives. Besides, you want to have the baby because you love the baby and you want to be responsible for the baby, don’t you?” 

Valerie didn’t expect Katherine to be supportive and felt very warm in her heart. 

*But Valerie, you can find anyone to get married. Why did you find such a scary man? Although he isn’t bad looking, his gaze is simply too frightening…” Katherine still couldn’t help but feel a pang of fear when she remembered Matthew’s gaze just now. 

‘He’s scary? Valerie raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn’t think Matthew was scary. “Mr. Grant doesn’t like to smile but he’s quite a nice guy.” “Okay, so are you gonna keep him in the dark about your pregnancy?” Katherine asked. 

Valerie nodded without hesitation. “He takes marriage very seriously; if he knew about the baby, he definitely wouldn’t agree to a divorce easily.”
