Chapter 19
Meanwhile, Valerie was taking a shower, and the sound of the water was so loud that she couldn’t hear someone knocking on her door. While she was mining herself off Manhew called her phone. She heard in but didn’t want to pick it up during the shower.
The phone kept ringing and ringing, so she turned off the water and dried her hands on some dirty cloches. She answered the phone and thought it might be one of her customers calling, so she wanted to let them know she wasn’t at work today
However, Matthew’s deep, angry voice came from the other end. “Open the door in one minuter
Valerie was stunned and said. “Mr. Grant, I’m in the middle of a shower. Could you wait for a while?”
“Thirty seconds.” With that, Matthew hung up. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Valerie could tell from Matthew’s intimidating tone on the phone that he was super mad. However, it was actually a misunderstanding. Valerie had changed the pawword, but she had waited for Matthew in the living room in case he got locked outside. She waited for a long time, but he didn’t come home. Thinking he was not coming home tonight, she went for a shower. Unexpectedly. Mathew came home while she was in the shower.
Valerie didn’t really want to get the door, but standing naked in the bathroom was not really an option. She looked at the bubbles on her body for two seconds, dried herself with a towel, and put on her dirty clothes. Her belly was still flat with a one–month pregnancy. She poked her belly and said, I hope you don’t take after your dad. He’s so scary,”
Valerie took a deep breath and went to answer the door, punting on a perfect smile. Matthew was standing outside with a somber expression on his face. He had his coat hanging on his arm, and the sleeves of his black shirt were rolled up, showing off his muscular arms. Not only did he look big. but his body under the suit was also very imposing,
Valerie smiled. “Mr. Grani
Matthew interrupted her by asking, “Why did you change the password“”.
“Mr. Grant, the original password isn’t safe. What if someone breaks in when I’m in the shower? That’s why I changed it. Sorry that I didn’t tell you in time.” After saying that Valerie fetched a pair of slippers from the shelve for Matthew,
Matthew was
angry. but Valerie’s apology seemed sincere. He entered the room with a dark face and sat on the sofa, looking at Valerie coldly “You must give me a heads up of any changes in this house.”
“No problem, Mr. Grant, answered Valerie.
“What’s the new password?” Manbew asked.
Valerie told him a bunch of numbers quickly, and they rang a bell in Matthew’s cars. “Tn’t that the date of yesterday!”
Valerie nodded. “Yeah. We registered yesterday, and it’s easy to memorize. Do you like it?”
Matthew’s eyes flickered. He had this strange feeling again.
Just then, Valerie pulled out a small box from her pocket and opened it. There was a pair of diamond rings inside. “I’ve already told my brother about our marriage. I don’t want him to worry
about me. The ringare for us, just in case”
Valerie said as she took one ring out of the box and put it on before pushing the other one to Matthew. It was the first time Matthew had received a ring And it was a wedding ring. He thought she would hate him, but he didn’t expect her to prepare wedding rings for them.
What if people find out she’s married to a poor driver! he wondered. For a while, Matthew felt like he couldn’t understand her. But what he didn’t notice was that his anger had dissipated. But the dumond looked less than a carat and was a bit too shabby.
Valerie thought he was too embarrassed to accept the ring, so she immediately said, “No pressure, Mr. Gran. It’s an artificial diamond. The seller said it’s hard to distinguish. You can rest assured. Even if you lose it, we can just buy a new one!
So it’s small and fake? When have I ever wom fake? Mathew thought in shock.
