Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 790

Valerie cooked a few dishes skillfully. Matthew clung to her without resting as she moved. Valerie simply smiled and squeezed his hand.

When the family was seated at the table, the butler served wine. Valerie raised her glass. "Let's all drink a toast to Matthew's safe return!"

Sophia Grant also raised her glass and smiled. The three of them then clinked their glasses happily. Matthew was looking at Valerie with mixed feelings.

"Here. Have a taste of my cooking. You haven't been eating well for a long time in Wakanda, have you? Look at you! You have lost so much weight!" Valerie said.

After putting down the glass, Valerie sliced some roast chicken for Matthew. Her heart ached terribly whenever she looked at Matthew. After not seeing him for a while, even his hair had turned white.

One could only imagine what he had experienced in Wakanda. The flames of war were everywhere, and human lives seemed particularly insignificant in a war zone.

It was not easy for them to be reunited again.

Matthew nodded as he smiled. "We're finally reunited. During this period in Wakanda, what I miss the most is the food at home."

"That's right!" Sophia sighed deeply. "As they say, one never misses the water until the well runs dry. When I saw the news previously, I was so worried!

"I was so frightened that something would happen to you in Wakanda and that you wouldn't be able to come back. Valerie was also on tenterhooks all the time. Thankfully, she also saw the true colors of many people. Those people are really a bunch of bad eggs!" Sophia did not want to think about what they had done, but Matthew remembered.

He would settle the score with them one by one later!

Valerie did not miss Matthew's ominous expression and the atmosphere became tense. She immediately patted the back of his hand and reassured him. "It's alright. I've already dealt with them. Those people now know that the Noria Group is not to be trifled with."

Matthew came back to his senses. He then looked at Valerie and smiled. "I knew you would kick their butts!

"Both of you don't have to worry. I'm back. They won't dare to act rashly. I've already instructed Charles to spread the news. Everyone in Kranson City knows that I'm back. Some people won't be able to sit still anymore!"

Matthew smiled. Outwardly, he appeared gentle and considerate to Valerie and Sophia but inwardly, it was another story. He remembered the things the Grant family members and Owen Anderson did deep in his heart, and he would settle the score with every single one of them!

Valerie quickly changed the topic when she noticed Matthew fuming inwardly. "Don't think too much. Since you're back and our whole family has reunited, it's the best outcome. Just ignore them. It's not worth it to waste time on them!"

"Valerie is right. Matthew, everything turned out for the best now that our family has reunited."

The whole family was living happily in harmony now. Matthew felt exceptionally at ease, but when he looked at Valerie, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

He stared at Valerie so intently that Valerie felt a little embarrassed. "Why are you staring at me?"

"You are good-looking, that's why!"

Matthew pretended to be relaxed, but in fact, he had been feeling anxious and guilt-stricken.

He could not help feeling guilty when he recalled that his own parents were responsible for the deaths of Valerie's father.

If Valerie knew about this, she might not forgive him and might even leave his side.

This kind of family life was like a layer of thin ice. Once too much weight was placed on the ice, the surface would crack, and then all hope would be lost.

He also knew Valerie's temperament very well. What should he do if that scenario really happened?

Matthew dared not think about it. His heart was pounding madly as he gazed at Valerie. Thankfully, Valerie did not pressure him further.

She simply assumed Matthew was still too tense after having just returned. Therefore, she was extremely attentive toward him, helping to refill his food and drinks while trying to enliven the atmosphere.

Valerie knew that people who had experienced war suffered more or less some trauma inwardly. As she observed Matthew's appearance, she figured he must have suffered a lot out there.

She took care of him carefully and devoted herself to his needs.
