Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 559

He knew when to stop. "Alright, I won't laugh at you anymore. Get some rest."

"What about the people downstairs? They're still helping!" Valerie asked.

Lincoln and Holly were considered elders. It would not reflect well on them if they rested while the elders were busy.

Matthew's eyes turned cold. "Ignore them. They came here on their own accord!"

There were servants at home. Fred was merely putting on appearances. Did they really think that they were of help here?

Valerie had just arrived in this family and did not understand. She would know when she had more interactions with them in the future.

Upon hearing what he said, Valerie decided not to worry about it anymore.

As she lay in bed, Valerie hugged Matthew tightly. "This is what home feels like. This New Year, there's finally a festive atmosphere. It's very lively and bustling to have the whole family together. This is what the New Year ought to feel like."

The two people yearning for kinship embraced each other tightly. Matthew planted a kiss on Valerie's head while she nestled in his arms and drifted off to sleep.

When Valerie woke up the next morning, Matthew was no longer by her side. Valerie called Julian. Ever since he left, the two of them had not had a good chat.

After several rings, Julian finally answered the phone, his voice sounding calm.

"How are you, Julian? Where are you now and what are you working as?" Valerie asked.

It was not easy for Julian especially when he had a child with him. Valerie wanted to know what he was doing.

Julian, however, avoided the question, saying, "Nothing much, just doing some simple things. After all, I have a child to take care of. How's your health? Now that you're pregnant, make sure that you get enough nutrients. Don't go on a diet just because you want to maintain your figure."

"I understand, Julian, but you must also take care of yourself," Valerie said.

"Okay. I have to go. Aiden has just woken up. We'll chat another day."

Before Valerie could say anything, Julian hung up.

Valerie felt that something was amiss. Julian was not a good liar. He would not be in such a hurry to hang up unless he did not want to say more.

She was Julian's sister. Even though they were not biological siblings, they had grown up together. He would not behave like that to her.

The only explanation was that Julian was hiding something from her. Since he was unwilling to tell her, Valerie would not push him to do so. After all, Julian had always been one to share good news but keep troubles to himself. He also probably did not want her to overthink things, especially since she was pregnant.

Hence, Valerie thought for a moment and dialed Aiden's number. Kids would not lie.
