Chapter 155
During dinner, Katherine talked about the team again. âBy the way. Valerie, Iâve already chosen a location for the team. Itâs lively and crowded on Ashland Street. I plan to choose that placeâ
âAshland Street!â Valerie smiled. âWhat a coincidence. My brotherâs fruit shop is also on Ashland Streetâ
Katherine immediately became excited. âReally? Then you have to introduce your brother to me later. He must be very familiar with that place. I want to ask for his advice.
Valerie nodded. Introducing Julian to Katherine was not a big deal. The problem was.. Valerie said seriously, âKatherine, I have something to tell you
The thought of Katherine doing such a thing to give Caleb a surprise made Valerie feel suffocated. However, she did not expect Katherine to avoid the topic and talk about how delicious todayâs food was. Katherine even said, âMy brotherâs culinary skills are also not bad. Moreover, he opened a few restaurants out of interest. If you guys know each other, you will be able to get along well.
Matthew, who was sitting opposite Katherine, frowned again. She had secretly offered to introduce a partner to his wife. Now, she was poaching Valerie in front of him.
However, Matthew seemed to know someone who had opened several restaurants and whose culinary skills were not bad. One of them happened to have the last name Santos. He thought of something and his eyes darkened âValerie, have you heard of Rust and Dine?â
Valerie was puzzled, âOf course, Iâve heard of it. Isnât that the largest restaurant in Kranson City! I heard their pastries are the bestâ âIf youâre interested, we can try it t
it together next time,â Matthew said.
After saying that, Matthew looked at Katherine. When he saw Katherineâs evasive gaze, he knew Katherineâs identity. It seemed he was right Katherine drank water guiltly. It was obvious she knew Matthew might already know her identity. She finally quietened and ate quietly, not daring to joke with Matthew like before.
After dinner, Katherine took her leave. Valerie did not have the chance to talk about Caleb.
Matthew knew Valerie was worried. âAlthough you are friends, you donât have to teach her. Youâre only a few years older than her. Youâre both adults. Adults make their own choices in life. She might already know something, so let her think about it. If sheâs hurt, itâs not too late for you to protect her.
What Matthew said did make sense. Valerie could only nod. Thinking she should go to her new job tomorrow, she put away her thoughts and returned to her room to prepare a professional outfit for tomorrow.
Valerie had just returned to her room when Matthew received a call from Sophia. âMatthew, I chose the birthday gift for the inâlaw. This is the first time you go to her birthday party. We canât let others think that weâre neglecting them. How is it? Does the like it?â
Matthew took out the broken ruby bracelet from his pocket and recalled Ruthâs furious expression. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes
However, this was specially prepared by Sophia for Valerieâs mother. II Sophia knew that the bracelet had been broken, she would probably be angry and might even bear a grudge against Valeric.
Matthew put the bracelet back in his pocket and said calmly, âShe quite like it. She has already accepted itâ
âTrâs good that she accepted it M up for this, our family will owe Val ber, Sophia uid,
you married Val but didnât hold a wedding or meet up with the parents. Thatâs not nice. If you donât make much. You have to treat Val better in the future. When will you bring her back! Your grandfather wants to see
âGot it. Matthew raised an eyebrow If his grandmother knew Ruth had already been sent to the detention room, h
he wondered what she would feel.
âBy the way, Mathew, thereâs something else I wanted to ask youâ Sophia sounded hesitant. After a while, she asked hesitantly, âIs Valeri pregnant?
