Marrying

Chapter 789

Valerie hugged Matthew and refused to let go. When the two of them exchanged looks, Valerie could not hold back anymore. She stood on tiptoes to give the man a passionate kiss. Matthew responded by holding the back of her head firmly.

The two of them kissed passionately in the office.

No one outside the office dared to interrupt the couple. After all, the news of Matthew’s return was bound to rock the entire Kranson City. Although the news had yet to spread. Matthew could not wait any longer and decided to barge into the office the instant he was back.

After a long while, the two of them finally separated. When Valerie gazed at Mathew, her tears poured down again. “What took you so long. But as long as you return safe and sound, everything else is not important,”

She then tugged at Matthew and said, “Let’s go

go home to see Grandma.”

“No rush.” Then, Matthew directed his words to Charles Hudson who was waiting outside the door. “Summon all of them here for a meeting Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Charles acknowledged the instruction. With a few phone calls, he informed every Grant family member to assemble here.

When these people heard that Matthew had returned, they were dumbfounded and hurried over.

Valerie had already dealt a heavy blow to the family members during the meeting but they were not expecting Matthew to return as well. They knew they were doomed.

Everyone sat in the conference room in trepidation. Matthew walked in with Valerie in tow. He then looked at everyone with an ominous expression. “All of you thought 1 had died out there and wouldn’t be coming back, didn’t you?”

The opening statement dealt a big blow and sent everyone into a panic.

“No, no, Mr. Grant. We’re more than happy to have you back one stammered.

“Yes, we have been looking forward to your return every day another said.

“Mr. Grant, you are so humorous. We wouldn’t dare a third added.

Matthew’s menacing air was so overwhelming that no one dared to look up.

“Really? All of you are good–for–nothings When I left, I entrusted the Noria Group to you guys. What happened in the end? All of you pushed all the work to Valerie. Are you trying to make her die of exhaustion!

“When you guys ask for money, your appetite is endless but when you are supposed to work, all of you are slacking off! If this continues, I think all of you don’t have to stay in the Noria Group anymore. Henceforth, you will receive your pay in the form of dividends accordingly, I don’t want to hear anyone trash–talking in front of me anymore!

“Charles, check their records and see what good deeds they have been up to during this period. I don’t have time to deal with all of you now, but before 1 step back into the office, hand over all your job responsibilities as soon as possible!”

Every word Matthew said was the truth. Everyone became frantic but no one dared to say anything.

Matthew did not want to listen to their explanation anyway. He wrapped his arm around Valerie and turned around to go home. He wanted to go back to see his grandmother and son

Valerie smiled and heaved a sigh of relief. Now that Matthew was back, she had a pillar of support. However, her heart still ached for Matthew. After being away for so long, he had become a lot more haggard visibly.

However, Valerie sensed that something seemed to be different. She kept feeling that Matthew had changed,

His entire bearing was different now,

Sophia Grant had already seen Valerie’s car from afar when the car was turning into the Grant family’s residential compound.

After getting of

out of the car, Matthew stood in front of Sophia. The old lady was so shocked that she could only cry out, “Matthew!”

When she saw the white hair on Matthew’s head, the old lady could not help crying buckets. “My poor Matthew!”

“Grandma!” Matthew quickly took a few steps forward and swept the old lady into a firm embrace, “Grandma, I’m back!”

Sophia gently patted him. “My child, it’s good that you’re back. It’s very good. Valerie has been so busy these past few days.

“Grandma, I know I’ve made you worry these past few days!” Matthew gave a mutiled reply.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s fine as long as you come back alive.” Sophia then turned to the butler, “Quick! Get lunch ready! My Manhew is back. Our

family is reunited today!”

Sophia was extremely excited and the butler was also happy. He immediately went off to make preparations. Meanwhile, Valerie dabbed at her eyes when she saw how happy the old lady was

One of the servants brought the child over at this juncture

Matthew had not seen his child for a while. The little one’s eyes seemed to have grown rounder.

Valerie had lost a lot of weight and Matthew had grown more haggard. Everyone, including Matthew’s grandma, had aged a lot, but the child was chubby and in the pink of health

Matthew took the child and planted a firm kiss on his checks.

The little one widened his eyes when he laid eyes on his father. Just as he puckered his face to cry, Matthew said playfully to him, “Little guy, have you forgotten about me? I haven’t seen you for a while. Have you forgotten Daddy’s voice?”

Upon hearing Matthew’s voice, line Hugo Grant immediately babbled incoherently as if to reply he had not forgotten. Sophia laughed when she saw him. “Look, he still remembers your voice. Things have been especially strange recently. He seems to understand that his mother is busy working all by herself, so I don’t have to worry about feeding him or getting him to sleep?

Valerie also nodded in concurrence. Indeed, little Hugo is indeed a good boy!”

The lule one then grabbed Matthew’s finger and smiled at him. All of a sudden, Matthew felt his heart melting-

Sophia started laughing. Look at you two! Father and son are bonded heart–to–heart. Come in quickly. Our family’s hardships have finally come to an end. We must never forget this.

Matthew nodded silently. His experience in Wakanda this time was also unforgettable.

At the same time, he also found out the truth about something other people were unaware of This truth caused him sleepless nights. He did not even know how to deal with it

Valeric dabbed at her eyes. TI cook a nice dish too. Wait for me!”

Matthew carried the child and stared at Valerie’s back profile without wavering, fearful that Valerie would disappear in the blink of an eye.

When she saw this, Sophia took the child back from his arms. “Go, spend more time with her. Valerie has been under too much pressure recently You’ve really married a good woman

Mathew nodded wordlessly. After getting up, he walked slowly to the kitchen. He hugged Valerie from behind and rested his head on her shoulder.

Valerie smiled as she patted his hand. “Be patient. It will be done soon.

“Mm–hmm. Just cook something simple”

Matthew stared at his wife so intently that he almost tumed into a stone statue.

Before he came back, he had been thinking about this woman every day. Now that he finally saw her, he felt that the hole in his heart had finally been filled. He honestly could not believe that he once had the urge to allow himself to perish in that field of gunfire and not come back.

He belonged to her. How could he possibly leave her?
