Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 566

Valerie tucked the gifts into her bag, feeling a pang of emotion. At last, she had a family of her own.

At that moment, Sophia nudged Nolan to get up. "It's getting late, and we've had a bit to drink. You two can handle ringing in the New Year yourselves. We are heading to bed. It's good to have one worry off our minds finally!"

Matthew quickly stood up and helped them, saying, "Grandpa, Grandma, you've worked hard. Please go rest now; I'll take care of everything."

After escorting them to their room, Valerie watched the servants clean the dining area. The house returned to its quiet state, contrasting with the lively scenes outside. She couldn't help but furrow her brow, feeling a bit down.

Noticing her change in mood, Matthew asked, "Is something on your mind?"

Valerie pouted and said, "With so many lights on everywhere, I can't help but wonder how Mrs. Anderson is doing. It's New Year—should we visit her? I'm worried it might disturb her."

Matthew took her hand and said, "If you're worried, let's check on her directly. We have the car, so we can return in time to ring in the New Year." With that, he led Valerie to the car and drove over.

Upon arriving at the Anderson family home, the surroundings were quiet and empty. Leon was surprised to see Matthew and Valerie and asked, "Mr. Grant, what brings you here?"

"We came to check on Mrs. Anderson. Is there no one at home?"

Leon shook his head and said, "Mr. Owen didn't come over today."

Valerie's face darkened instantly at the thought of Olivia spending New Year's alone. The two exchanged glances, relieved they had come over. Otherwise, Olivia would have been quite lonely at home. Valerie thought, 'Whether Mr. Owen was genuinely busy or not, it was unacceptable for him to leave her alone. Unless he did it on purpose.'
