Chapter 498

“Matthew, you’ve concealed your identity from the beginning so why didn’t you just continue to do so? Wouldn’t that have been better? Why did you tell her the truth? Why Angel asked.

Mathew frowned slightly and looked towards Vallerie. “Because she’s different

The passionate tone and look in his eyes made Angel feel like she couldn’t breathe. She exclaimed in desperation, “Why her? Matthew, I’ve loved you for so many years, why couldn’t it be me! Why her?”

Matthew replied, “Because she’s Valerie Warren. It doesn’t matter if she’s actually Sarah Anderson or not. She’s smart, decisive, and independent. To me, she’s different from everyone else. It doesn’t matter even if she doesn’t know about her parents. She’s suffered so much in the past, all the more I should treat her well and make it up to her

rarely showed such raw emotions.

Last time, Matthew had confessed his in

love on the balcony. This time, he openly and unreservedly owned up to his true feelings.

Each time, Valerie could hardly believe it was reality. She had never thought that anyone would be devoted to her and treat her so preciously. It was a surreal yet euphoric feeling, as if she was walking on clouds.

Still, Matthew’s determined gaze grounded her and proved to her that all of it was true. In has eyes, she was worth being treated like a treasure, Angel’s face was filled wi disbelief. Her denial fueled her resolve to manipulate the sinuation until she got what she wanted

Before she could do anything though, Matthew’s demeanor changed. His tone was low and menacing as he issued Angel a severe warning. “Tal advise you to be abundantly aware of your standing. You might be the young heiress in the Santos farmily, but no one else nutside of your family will tolerate you. I let you off the hook last time, bût from now quit Larr you bullying Valene. I will definitely make the Santos family pay the price”

He wasn’t afraid to deliver on his threat.

Angel knew that Louis was no match for Matthew, and even her father, who hail crossed paths with Matthew before, was intimidated by him. If she really provoked Matthew into falling out with her family, they would be in for a tough time

Angel began to feel a sense of dread. She wasn’t afraid that her family would doown her; rather it was because of the fact that Matthew had threatened her at all that meant he had had enough, and would no longer put up with her

When Manhew finished saying his piece, he picked up Valerie’s hand and tumed to brave without an muchas a glance back at Angeli

When Valerie frowned, Matthew’s own furrowri rycbrows revealed a trace of nervousness.

“Did she hurt you? Matthew asked Valerie, referring to Angel

Valerie shook her head. “No”

She was the one who had slapped Angel so hard that her hand hurt a little now

After confirming that Valerie Warren was fine, he held her hand again and the two of them continued walking Valerie’s strides were smaller so she struggled to keep up with Matthew. Matthew picked up on that after a few steps and slowed down discreetly so that she could keep up.

On the surface, Mathew seemed like a fearless, mighty warrior, and smug about it too, but in reality he was actually gentle and meticulous..

Valerie’s curiosity got the better of her and couldn’t help but ask, “Matthew, about what you said earlier. Did you mean ioo

He paused for a step.

Valerie leaned closer, pressing for an answer.

Her brash behavior prompted Matthew to finally stop and look at her. He didn’t know whether to Laugh or cry, but his eyes were serious replied, “Vallie, I owe you a wedding. I want everyone to know that you are my wife, and a daughter–in–law of the Grant family.

Valerie was slightly stunned. “What do you mean you owe me? We’ve already been married for so long,” she said.

Matthew replied matter–of–factly. “A marriage certificate is just a certificate, it’s a separate matter from a wedding

Matthew was very adamant at the strangest times. His persistence made it seem as though he was completely lovestruck.

The corners of Valerie’s mouth curled up. She wanted to smile, but her eyes turned red. She knew that he was doing this for her. She yearned for family love and care, but the people that she thought were her parents for twenty years turned out to not be biologically related to her at all.

She had gone through all the trouble to acknowledge Olivia as her family, but it was all for nothing.

“Alright, we’re

going to have a wedding! I have a home now too! She nodded with reddened eyes.

Matthew’s heart ached when he saw this. He had to bite down on his tongue to stop himself from blurting out some things.

That’s right… Particularly about the fact that he had actually tampered with the DNA report from the very start
