Marrying

Charles turned around and was met Matthew’s cold gaze, and felt Matthew was saying, ‘I’ll silence you if you don’t comply! 

T 

Forcing himself to stay calm, Charles could only swallow hard and flash a smile at Valerie, shaking her hand. “Miss Warren, nice to meet you, too.” 

Valerie thought Matthew’s leader was quite easy–going. “You also work for Noria Group? May I know your name?” 

Charles suddenly became uncertain. “Yes, emm… I work at Noria Group. My name is…” He looked toward Matthew as he spoke. ‘Mr. Grant, say something! Just don’t blame me if you expose yourself. 

Luckily, Matthew helped him this time. “He’s Mr. Charles Hudson, one of our company leaders.” 

Valerie felt Matthew’s attire luxurious, so it turned out that his boss was a leader of the Noria Group. Noria Group was the top conglomerate in Kranson City and also ranks among the leading groups nationwide; the income of its management was probably something Valerie could never reach in her lifetime, no matter how hard she worked, so she felt it wasn’t surprising that Charles had a private driver. 

Thinking about this, Valerie was instantly a bit more polite to Charles. “Mr. Hudson, are you feeling a bit hot? I see you are sweating all over your head. It just so happens that I have brought paper towels here.” 

“No, no, no.” Charles was helpless. He was more than hot right now, he was on the verge of freaking out. 

“But…” Valerie was puzzled. 

Fortunately, Matthew stopped her at this moment. “Don’t worry about it. Mr. Hudson has an urgent meeting next, and if we delay any longer we might be late. Right, Mr. Hudson?” 

Matthew looked toward Charles as he spoke, and Charles instantly felt saved. “Ah, yes, yes. The meeting will start soon. I gotta go now or I will be 

late.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

After that, Charles walked away as if something terrifying was chasing him behind him. 

As soon as Charles left, Matthew gestured. “I’ll take you home.” 

This was the Noria Group’s venue, and things would get messy later if someone from the Noria Group passed by and revealed his identity. Moreover, he vaguely felt that Valerie didn’t look in good spirits. It seemed that although she had taught Isabel a lesson in the venue, she was still frightened. 

Valerie shook her head. “No, I have to go back to the office.” 

“You look so pale. You should go back and rest.” Matthew insisted on taking her home. 

Valerie was instantly surprised at his words and looked at Matthew in shock. She didn’t expect Matthew to see that she was in a bad state. Although his face was cold, he was quite caring. 

But she shook her head again. “There are still two hours to the end of the shift and absenteeism will result in a deduction of money. Anyway, it’s only two hours, I can hold on. Deducting money would be too much of a loss…” 

Money, money, money! She only cares about money. Even though she isn’t in good spirits, she still worries about her money. She really is a mercenary woman.” For some reason, Matthew was upset. “If you fall sick, you won’t be able to go to work tomorrow or the day after, which one will make you lose more?” 

Valerie finally compromised. “Then I’ll take a leave,” 

Matthew finally felt a bit better. “I’ll take you home,” 

Valerie was surprised. “But aren’t you working? It won’t be good if Mr. Hudson can’t find you after his meeting.” 

“It’s okay. This meeting will end very late,” said Matthew. 

“But…” 

Seeing that she was going to push back, Matthew interrupted her directly, “Mr. Hudson is very easy–going. He won’t mind.” 

Charles wouldn’t dare mind. 

“Come on.” He directly led Valerie in the direction of the parking lot. 

Unable to resist him, Valerie could only keep up obediently, while in her heart, she couldn’t help but say, ‘How come he’s so tough even when he cares about others?‘ 

However, Valerie was indeed not feeling well. Dealing with Isabel was too mentally draining, she just wanted to work hard to earn some money, and

she really wasn’t suited for dealing with this kind of scheming. After her pregnancy, she became increasingly drowsy and even felt exhausted from standing for a long time. 

Last time she was thinking about how to arrange her future, and now she had to consider it even more carefully. As she drifted off, she was led to a Land Rover by Matthew. She froze at once.
