Chapter 690

Valerie thought of Katherine again and said, “My brother is indeed very brave. He has saved someone before, and that girl was infatuated with him.” Valerie

observed Julian’s expression as she spoke, and when she noticed his trembling fist, she understood.

Linda’s eyes brightened. “Is that so? Julian, you must tell me all about it when we get back. He saved me too!”

Valerie was a bit surprised. She hadn’t expected Julian to have saved Linda as well. ‘No wonder this girl had been so persistent!‘ she thought.

Julian shrugged nonchalantly, “It’s no big deal.”

“Julian, how long do you plan to stay here?” Valerie asked.

“At most a week. We’ll need to go back soon. We haven’t given up on our business on the island, and I can’t leave Aiden behind. After things settle down here in a week, we’ll head over,” Julian said. “Linda and I came here to explore the market. Once things are running smoothly here, I’ll return.”

“Alright, enough about me. What about you? How do you feel after giving birth? You two must be exhausted.” Julian couldn’t help but tease when he saw the dark circles under Matthew’s eyes.

Valerie pouted. “Yes, I didn’t expect taking care of a baby would be so tough. We didn’t even know how to hold him properly at first, but we’re getting better now.” Julian shared some of his own experiences from when he took care of Aiden, and Matthew quickly took notes. Valerie was amused to see the two grown men discussing parenting. Linda rested her chin on her hand, gazing at Julian with admiration. The man she liked was truly exceptional!

Meanwhile, Katherine was forcibly taken away by Dale. After leaving the hospital, her face was still a little pale. Seeing Dale’s displeased expression, Katherine took a deep breath, got into the car, and left.

Dale, left behind, hurriedly called her, but Katherine didn’t answer. She then received a warning message from Dale. [Let me tell you, Katherine. If you don’t do as I say and skip tonight’s event, you’ll regret it when you see tomorrow’s trending news.]

Katherine scoffed. [Do as you please!]

Dale was stunned when he saw Katherine’s message. ‘How dare she speak to me like this! he thought in fury.

Katherine refused to put on a polite front for Dale. As she closed her eyes, her

mind was filled with Julian. ‘How… could he accept another woman?‘ she thought with a bitter smile. If Julian had talked to her properly, she would have been able to take it. Leaving her with so many beautiful memories only to vanish, and now suddenly reappearing in her sight, was a blow that left Katherine gasping for breath.

Julian glanced at the time and was about to leave for his important matters when Charles arrived.

“Mr. and Mrs. Grant!” Charles called out. Seeing Julian, he nodded lightly in greeting. However, when he saw Linda beside him, Charles’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. ‘It’s her?‘ he wondered. ‘Seems like Julian is quite impressive!‘

Charles merely glanced at her and handed over an invitation to Matthew. “Mr. Grant, the Veridian Hotel is hosting a spring celebration tonight. Various business associations in Kranson City will be gathered. Would you like to attend? It’s organized by Mr. Redfield.”

Matthew took the invitation, glanced at it, and then at Valerie before setting it aside. “I can’t go.” He didn’t want to attend. Such events were a waste of time to him, and Valerie was still recovering from childbirth. The baby had just been born, and she needed constant care. Yet, it was organized by Mr. Redfield. ‘If I don’t go, Mr. Redfield might take it personally. But I can’t leave Valerie alone with the baby,” he thought.

Matthew thought about calling to decline, but that seemed too dismissive. He also considered going in person to explain and then leave, but he feared being caught up. The event was organized by the business associations in Kranson City, with many wealthy individuals attending. He could imagine how crowded it would be. Valerie opened the invitation. “This is organized by Mr. Redfield, so it’s hard to refuse. You should go. I’m fine with it. I’ll have the nanny come over in the evening.”

Julian smiled. “If it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll go instead. We received an invitation too.” Julian’s purpose for coming was to open channels and expand the domestic market. Hence, he also received an invitation. “How about this? I’ll go over and explain the situation to Mr. Redfield. He’ll understand, especially considering Valerie just had a baby and needs care.”

Care was essential here to Valerie and the baby. No matter how good a nanny was, she couldn’t compare to Matthew.

Valerie thought it was a good idea since they already knew each other, and giving birth was a significant event. Mr. Redfield would surely understand, having faced life–and–death situations. Thus, Matthew agreed gladly.

Valerie looked at the invitation in Julian’s hand, feeling genuinely pleased. His fruit brand had done exceptionally well and had even entered foreign markets. Expanding the domestic market and meeting the wealthy in Kranson City was an excellent opportunity. She reflected with joy, Julian has finally made it through. His future will certainly be bright.

Charles was a little shocked. He hadn’t expected Julian to receive an invitation. It seemed Julian wasn’t to be underestimated in the future.
