Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 

Valerie watched Julian closely, relieved to see his expression soften slightly. She offered a smile and ventured, “Julian, now that you’ve met Matthew, you must feel a bit better about him, don’t you?” 

Julian shook his head, teasing. “Not quite. It’s going to take more than just meeting him to win me over 

Ashley chimed in with a gentle nudge Julian, rase up a bit. They’re married. Do you want to split them up! Honestly, I think Matthew seems like a catch–handsome and well–dressed. Valerie, did you land a wealthy husband! Who is he, really?” 

Ashleysi 

‘stone started off neutral but grew increasingly sharp, casting a shadow over the conversation. When Valerie had first announced her sudden marriage, with no wedding or dowry, Ashley had been convinced Valerie had lost her senses, marrying a nobody without even introducing him to the family 

But today’s encounter with Matthew had turned Ashley’s assumptions upside down. He was far from the pauper she had imagined. Instead, he was strikingly handsome, dressed impeccably, and lived in the upscale Slotmond Extate, which was even more prestigious than Clutvale Estate, 

This made Ashley reflect somewhat resentfully on her own marriage to Julian. While Julian wasn’t unattractive, he certainly didn’t possess Mauhew’s striking features Julian had a round face and was on the shorter side, traits inherited from his parents.

Driven by a mix of envy and curiosity, Ashley inquired. “Seriously, Valerie, who is he? It’s time to tell us the truth? 

Valerie played it cool. “Oh, he’s just a driver, but his boss treats him well, so he’s well–paid:” 

“Really? He doesn’t look like a driver, though…” Ashley was skeptical 

you both.” She 

“It’s true,” Valerie insisted with a dismissive wave. “Let’s not get hung up on that. There’s something else I need to discuss with y lowered her voice. Thaven’t told him about my pregnancy yet, so please keep it under wraps for now. 

“You haven’t told him you’re pregnant?” Ashley’s eyes widened in disbelief 

“I’m planning to surprise him for his birthday in two months. Plus, the pregnancy is still very delicate, and I don’t want to jinx anything by sharing 100 soon.” Valerie explained, hoping to prevent Ashley from accidentally revealing too much. 

Julian and Ashley nodded, understanding her reasons. Keeping the pregnancy a secret seemed more like a sweet secret in their marriage.
