Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 569

"I'll use it and make it up to you later!" Owen said.

Seeing Owen walk downstairs with her hairpin, Maliah stomped her foot. It was a new product from a famous diamond jeweler, something she had gone to great lengths to acquire, and now Owen had just taken it. She looked at Valerie, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes, and thought, 'She was annoying indeed!'

Owen smiled and extended his hand as he walked over. "Valerie, you came in a hurry, so I bought this new one especially for you. It just doesn't have the packaging."

"Thank you, Mr. Owen," Valerie said. Since it was a gift from an elder, it was hard to refuse. Just as Valerie was about to take it, Owen directly pinned the hairpin into her hair. As he did so, he subtly plucked a strand of hair from her shoulder and hid it behind his hand.

Valerie was completely unaware, and Matthew, who was busy helping put up banners, didn't see it either. He immediately frowned when he turned around and saw the hairpin on Valerie. Owen had no sense of boundaries. Matthew thought, 'When did it become acceptable for him to be so hands-on with my woman?'

Olivia cleared her throat lightly. "Alright, Matthew, it's getting late. Since Owen is back and there's someone here to keep me company, you two should head home. It's not safe to travel at night, so be careful."

Valerie walked over. "Mrs. Anderson, I'll come visit you another day." She nodded and watched them enter the car and drive away. Then, she took a deep breath.

Seeing how much Olivia cared for Valerie, Owen couldn't help but feel uneasy. He thought, 'Why was she so concerned about this outsider, thinking about her all the time? I belonged to the Anderson family, after all.'

Owen glanced at the strand of hair in his hand, then turned to Olivia. "It's getting late. I'll keep watch tonight. You should get some rest."

Olivia didn't refuse and went upstairs to rest immediately.
