Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 542

Julian forced himself to turn his gaze to Valerie. As he watched Valerie focusing on her acting, he slowly calmed down.

Valerie was acting with that handsome actor. Matthew Grant was watching closely from the side, worried that something might go wrong.

When he saw Matthew so concerned about Valerie, Julian felt he was at least able to put down half of his final reluctance and attachment to this city.

If Valerie's film was released, he would definitely bring Aiden to watch it... However, it might not be in Kranson City but somewhere else.

"Cut!"

"Today's filming went very smoothly. We're done shooting these few scenes. Let's wrap up!"

Everyone immediately cheered. They were so happy. Today was really great because they had finished work so quickly.

Everyone was excited and grateful that Valerie could clear the scenes in one take.

Katherine rushed over to help Valerie tidy up her clothes. "Valerie, you're really amazing!"

Valerie saw Katherine's sparkling eyes and noticed that she was holding a small basket in her hand. She could not help but laugh. "Julian made this?"

"That's right! Julian said that he used to make these things when he was young. He's so skillful."

Valerie nodded. "When I was young, I made them too. Julian's were the best. Whenever it came to handicraft class, Julian was always first in class!"

"Really? That's amazing!" Katherine turned around and looked at Julian.

Julian was standing under the sunlight and smiling at the two ladies. His eyes were gentle, and they made Katherine's heart thump furiously!

"I think Julian is the most wonderful man in the world!"

He was indeed quite impressive. Just the mention of him warmed Valerie's heart.

When Valerie lived in that kind of family and Ruth Warren treated her in that manner sometimes, only Julian treated her well.

At this moment, Matthew walked over. "It's time to wrap up. Let's have a meal together!"

He looked at Katherine. "To celebrate Valerie's first acting gig and to thank you too, Katherine. For staying by Valerie's side over the past two days.

"How about it, Miss Santos? I'm sure you won't refuse, will you?"

Though a little surprised, Katherine was still delighted.

"Of course not! It's my honor to be treated to a meal by Mr. Grant!"

"Valerie, I'll accompany you to the changing room!"

With a nod, Valerie proceeded to the changing room.

After changing out of her costume, Valerie held Katherine's hand and got into the car. The few of them headed to the restaurant.

Katherine was shocked when she saw the pink decorations in the dining hall. There were balloons and the letters "Happy Birthday". It was only then that she realized today was her birthday.

Katherine's photos were pasted all over the place, along with her favorite pink roses.

Valerie whispered next to her, "Happy birthday! You're the birthday girl today. This is a surprise that Julian specially asked us to arrange for you. Do you like it?"

"Julian?"

As Valerie nodded, Katherine covered her mouth and her eyes became teary.

Julian was stunned. Although he knew Katherine's feelings all along, this was the first time she had confessed in public.

"Katherine, you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk!"

Katherine stubbornly persisted in finishing what she wanted to say. The atmosphere today was excellent. She was worried that if she did not say it now, she would not have the chance to say it when he avoided her again.

Then, she blurted out the words like she was pouring her heart out, "Julian, no matter what everyone thinks of me, you saved my life. Initially, I was only thanking you, but later on, I realized that I like you and want to be with you!

"I know there's nothing good about me. Although my looks are passable, I'm simple-minded. I'm always being deceived by all kinds of men. Moreover, I've been in a relationship with a scumbag like Caleb Lane. You know the most embarrassing things about me, but you've never despised me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to pull myself together.

"Julian, I genuinely like you. Everything about you is attractive to me. From the first day I saw you, I realized that a man like you still existed in the world. Just standing beside you makes me feel at ease..."

Katherine was holding back her impulse. Her mind was already in a mess, but she could still barely tell that Julian was not far away. She suddenly lunged forward and kissed him on the cheek!

Julian was stupefied. Then, Katherine's body keeled over and she fell into his arms. Julian quickly caught her. When he looked again, Katherine was already asleep!

It seemed like she was truly dead drunk.

Julian had mixed feelings. He smiled bitterly and reached out to sweep away the sweat-drenched hair on Katherine's forehead. However, when his hand was about to touch her face, he retracted his hand and handed Katherine to Valerie. "Valerie, please send her back!"

However, Valerie asked, "Julian, tonight is the last time. Why don't you send her back?"

Julian smiled wanly but shook his head firmly. "No."

He was worried that if he sent her back personally, he would be too reluctant to leave.

No matter how much he wanted to, she was not a flower that he could pluck.
