Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 748

Chapter 748 

Matthew moved towards the keyboard, making it clear he was about to take action. Hamm, frightened, quickly backed down, worried about the potential consequences of Grant’s actions. “Alright, 1711 think it over. But you can’t leave just yet Davin was right–transportation here is down. I arrange for you to stay somewhere for now. Once we’re ready, we’ll make arrangements for your departure. 

Hearing this, Matthew chose not to refuse. After all, compared to Hamm, he was just an ordinary person here. Hamm’s high position and authority meant that if he was angered, even Davin might not be able to protect Matthew. So, Matthew said nothing more and simply stood up and left as instructed. 

Hamm had people keep an eye on Matthew, ostensibly for his protection. Matthew understood it was more about monitoring him to prevent escape. He didn’t take it too seriously, considering that with this surveillance, he wouldn’t be found by the gangs for now. It was a good opportunity for him to rest and recuperate. However, Matthew knew Valerie might have to wait a bit longer, and he wondered how long Hamm would keep him confined 

Matthew was assigned to the third floor of the government military headquarters, right above the office area, with tight security. Although he had no intention of escaping his mind was preoccupied with Valerie 

Just after settling onto the bed, Matthew heard a knock on the door. He frowned and called out, “Who is it?” 

“It’s me, bringing you some food, a pleasant female voice responded, making Matthew furrow his brow even more. In this situation, a woman’s presence was unexpected. 

Thinking it over, Matthew realized that the logistics team might include women, and he was indeed hungry. He opened the door to find a woman in a trench coat approaching him, carrying a tray. On the tray were a bottle of red wine and a steak. 

Matthew nodded and gestured. Just leave it there. 

As the woman entered, Manhew finally took a good look at her. She was a striking beauty from Wakanda, tall and curvaceous, wearing high heels. His curiosity was piqued and he thought. In such a place, and during a time of conflict, it’s quite unusual to see a woman dressed like this, was she from the logistic department indeed? 

The woman set the tray down but didn’t leave Instead, she turned to Matthew and removed her trench coat, revealing sensual lingerie underneath. Matthew frowned at the unexpected display, but the woman walked toward him and said, I’ve heard you’re a hero who helped turn the ride for our government forces. I’m quite interested in you” 

The woman gave him a seductive smile and moved to drape her arms around his neck. Matthew pushed her away firmly. She stumbled back, shocked and incredulous. “If you’re just here to deliver food, you can leave. If there’s something else, I’m not interested, Matthew said, pushing her out the door. 

The woman, frustrated, stomped her foot and thought, I can’t believe it. How could someone not be interested in someone like me? He’s just pretending not to care. Determined, she said, Tll be back tonight” before leaving 

Matthew sneered, a trace of irritation and coldness in his eyes. He had dealt with situations like this before with ease, but now, being married, be found such advances repulsive and couldn’t be bothered to entertain them. His thoughts were consumed with longing for Valerie, missing her every expression and smile. Being cut off from communicating with her, Matthew feared Valerie would be left in the dark about his fate, which would surely be devastating for her. 

After chasing the woman away, Matthew glanced at the tray, confirming that the food was fine before he began eating, and realized that the meal was quite good. Once he finished eating quickly, he lay down to rest. If possible, he hoped to return home soon and was counting on Davin to resolve the situation so he could reunite with his loved ones as soon as possible. 

Matthew took our his phone, looking at Valerie on the screen with a Gint smile. Gradually, he drifted off to sleep. These days had been exhausting for him, with constant bombings and occasional chases keeping him on edge. With the chance to finally rest and feel safe, he allowed himself to relax and unwind,
