Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 564

Valerie's car came into view from afar. Sophia became immediately excited and quickly stood up, exclaiming, "They're back, they're back!"

Ryan nodded in agreement. "Yes, they finally made it back. I'll go check how things are coming along in the kitchen." Ryan immediately turned and headed to the kitchen. "Chef Russo, they've already returned," he announced.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, everything is ready. Dinner will be served in forty minutes." Hearing this, Ryan returned to report the news.

Valerie and Matthew were excited as they got out of the car. Eager to check out the kitchen, Valerie was thrilled to taste dishes a state banquet chef prepared for the first time and wanted to learn a few things. "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm back!" she called enthusiastically.

Sophia held Valerie's hand and said, "You've worked hard today, even on New Year. Matthew, you need to take good care of Valerie from now on and not let her get so tired again!"

"Got it. I won't let it happen again," Matthew replied.

Matthew's words made Valerie smile. "I'm not tired at all. Everyone has been taking good care of me. Grandma, can I check how things are coming along in the kitchen? It is my first New Year at home, and I want to show what I can do!" Sophia watched Valerie, wanting to remind her to be careful, but Valerie was already eagerly heading into the kitchen.

The Grant family staff were startled when they saw Valerie and immediately greeted her, "Mrs. Grant!"

"Don't be so formal. I'm just here to learn a bit. I hope I'm not disturbing you," Valerie said.

Chef Russo looked at the woman who had appeared before him and realized she was Mrs. Grant. He nodded and said, "You're not disturbing us. Everything is nearly ready. Here's the menu for your review."

Seeing the man before her, with his gray hair and average build, Valerie immediately recognized him as the state banquet chef. She glanced over the menu and said, "You've put a lot of thought into this, considering everyone's tastes. Let me show off my skills, too!"

"Please, feel free, Mrs. Grant," Chef Russo said, impressed by how approachable she was. Valerie, feeling welcomed, didn't hold back and began to join in.

Before long, Matthew entered the kitchen, having changed out of his usual attire. His presence immediately caused a stir, and everyone became tense. However, he walked straight over to Valerie and said, "You all continue with what you're doing; I'll help her." He rolled up his sleeves and began assisting Valerie. The staff were astonished to see Matthew, a prominent figure in Kranson City, working in the kitchen alongside Valerie. Seeing such distinguished individuals busying themselves in this was a remarkable sight.
