Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

When Valerie saw Sophia looking unwilling to swallow a bitter pill, she felt a mix of amusement and annoyance. She comforted her, saying, “Sophia, since your grandson is as outstanding as you say, he will surely find an equally outstanding girl. Don’t worry.”

Valerie’s tone had always been unhurried, gentle, and emotionally generous. She was able to comfort others effectively.

“He better be!” Sophia said.

She might sound grumpy, but deep down, she had already come to terms with this fact. But even if Matthew was out of the picture, she genuinely liked Valerie, not to mention that Valerie was truly her savior.

Since she could not make Valerie her granddaughter–in–law, she would let Sophia be her granddaughter.

She grabbed Valerie’s hand with a sense of dissatisfaction toward the situation and said, “Valerie, I initially wanted to introduce you to my grandson, but it looks like I won’t have the chance now. But I really can’t bear to part with you. How about you call me ‘Grandma‘ and let me feel a sense of gaining something?”

Since Sophia had worded her request in such a way, Valerie hurriedly said, “Grandma.”

Sophia was overjoyed. She said, “Ah! Good girl!”

Actually, Valerie also liked Sophia a lot.

She had not been close to her parents since childhood. Other than her elder brother, her other relatives had also been indifferent to her. But she remembered that her grandmother seemed to be quite gentle to her, speaking softly and tenderly. She recalled that she loved clinging to her grandmother and listening to her grandmother reading bedtime stories to her, consistently feeling that those moments were filled with warmth.

But when she brought this up to her elder brother subsequently, he said she must have remembered it wrongly. He even said that their grandmother was a

bered it wrongly. He even said that

countrywoman who had lived her whole life in the countryside and that because their great– grandmother favored boys over girls, their grandmother never went to school and was illiterate, so there was no way she could read her bedtime stories.

Valerie did not believe it initially. After all, that memory was too vivid.

But as Valerie grew older and more mature, she began to see the absurdity of it. Her grandmother was indeed just a true–ble farmer ere were no books among her belongings after she passed away, and because she was illiterate, she didn’t even know how to use an outdated mobile phone.

However, her grandmother was indeed kind to her, especially when compared to the rest of her family members. She had once been favored by her grandmother for a short period. That was something that was extremely worthy of being rejoiced.

As for why she had this false memory…

Valerie later reasoned that it was probably because of the television dramas she watched as a child, which had similar scenes. She imagined herself as the protagonist, leading to this

misunderstanding.

However, Sophia reminded her of that memory again. Valerie felt that Sophia was quite similar to the grandmother in her memories. They were both gentle, kind, and elegant, but they spoke without putting on airs, making people involuntarily want to be close to them.

After cleaning up, Valerie looked at her phone and realized that it was almost time to meet her elder brother at the agreed–upon time. She locked the door of the car dealership and went out. Sophia followed her.

Valerie thought, ‘Perhaps Sophia’s family members aren’t taking care of her again today. If I leave her alone and pay no attention to her, she’ll surely be very upset. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

She did not notice that when she locked the door just now, Sophia had secretly. declined a call from Nolan….

Sophia thought, ‘Jeez, that old man. Why does he have to pick this time to call when he could have called at any other time? Doesn’t he know I’m busy right now?”

Valerie asked, “Sophia, where do you live?”
