The more Chloe thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn't help but hug Valerie tightly. Her daughter was getting married, and it felt like a dream come true. After being ill for so many years, Chloe finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
An hour later, Chloe had to leave.
Valerie walked her to the door and then turned back to hold Matthew's hand. "You're going to announce the wedding. Are you sure you don't want to wait a bit longer? The baby is due in just a few months."
Matthew shook his head and hugged her tightly, resting his chin on her head, saying, "I planned to wait until the baby was born to have the wedding, but when I was in Qebriuland, just before I was knocked out by the explosion, I thought of you.
"At that moment, I thought, if I couldn't give you a wedding and I died, it would be too pitiful for you. I don't want to leave any regrets. Marrying you and spending every day with you and our child is all I need to be satisfied."
Valerie smiled softly, leaning into his embrace. "I feel the same way."
Ever since Matthew had gone missing in Qebriuland, Valerie had been anxious and regretted letting him go there. This time, she wouldn't let him go for anything.
As they walked back inside, Sophia smiled at Valerie. "Valerie, now that Matthew is back, he needs to rest for a while and also prepare for the wedding. Can you help him with the company?"
Valerie nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be a good helper."
Sophia, however, shook her head with a smile. "It's not about being a helper."
She pulled Valerie to sit down. "I think you have quite the talent for business. I've already driven Fred and his people out, and we've recovered some of their assets. We haven't found suitable people to manage them yet, so why don't you take care of them as a kind of compensation?"
Valerie was flustered and quickly refused. "Sophia, there's no need. I believe professionals can handle it better."
Valerie had never thought about getting involved in the Grant family's business, especially the Noria Group's assets. She wasn't a professional manager, and if she did take on the role, she worried she might mess things up and lose money.
After Valerie expressed her concerns, Sophia was unfazed. "Everyone starts from nothing. Moreover, during Matthew's absence, you and Lincoln managed to hold things together. The Noria Group's top executives were very impressed with you!
"You're so smart. You managed to maneuver around and keep the Noria Group stable until Matthew returned. Your capabilities are evident, and I trust you!
"Even if you lose money, it's no big deal. Consider it practice."
