marrying Chapter 797

Chapter 797

Coincidentally, during the war in Wakanda, Julian had a favor to ask of Linda. Linda was also up against a wall so she stated her conditions before offering help. It was just a marriage alliance. There were no personal emotions involved.

She felt that Julian was reliable and responsible. When Julian showed up, her problem was solved, Everyone got what they needed. Wasn’t that good!

Since they were only taking what they needed, when the time was right, they would naturally go their separate ways. Linda was willing to let go and allow Julian to pursue the love in his heart.

To her dismay, she found out she was pregnant

She had wanted to break up with Julian after the crisis was over, but her current condition forced her to remain with Julian,

Linda intended to give birth to this child. No matter what, as long as she could keep the child, it would make up for the other loss in her heart.

In any case, a girl from a rich family like her could marry anyone. It did not matter who the child’s father was, but the child could stay and she would nurture him as her successor in the future.

Linda felt sorry for Julian. “If it weren’t for me, you could have explained everything to her. I can tell by the way you looked at her just now that you clearly loved her.”

Julian looked at the two departing silhouettes for a long time before shaking his head, “It doesn’t matter. It’s all in the past.

“Julian back then, I did not hesitate to impose marriage as a condition to coerce you. Do you hate me!”

“I don’t hate you. You came all the way here to deliver the first order to me so that I can successfully break into the foreign market. No matter what, you’re facing a crisis now. I will definitely not abandon you!

Julian then patted her shoulder reassuringly, “Let’s fight side by side. As they say, when a husband and wife work together, they can overcome all odds. After the matter is done, we can still go our separate ways. However, at this stage, I will help you and do my best to fight for your interests”

as delighted when she heard that. “You’re right. I must defeat them and let them know that I’m no pushover”

Lina was

Julian knew very well how he felt about Katherine

It was just that they were not fated to be together. This was how they would be for the rest of their lives.

After leaving the place, Katherine was very depressed. In particular, when she saw Julian showing concern for Linda, it made her recall those days she spent with Julian. Invariably, her heart started to ache.

Although Julian came out to show concern for her just now, it was still too late. Once she missed the opportunity, it was all over.

Katherine hung her bead in dejection.

Valerie tried to comfort her. “Katherine, you have to plan for yourself in the future. Both Julian and you have your own new lives now. Think about the child in your belly and try to keep your spirits up.”

“I understand, Valerie. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself.”

At this moment, Valerie’s phone rang. The call was from the butler.

“Mrs. Grant, Hugo kept crying non–stop. I think only you can pacify him,”

“Okay, I’ll be right back.”

After ending the call, Valerie wanted to drive Katherine back to the hospital. T’ll send you back to the hospital, then I’ll go home.”

“No, Valerie. I’m fine. Why don’t I go back with you to see the baby?”

“Good idea. You haven’t seen Hugo for a long time. He’s grown up a lot Valerie said proudly.

“Really? Then I want to take a good look!” Katherine squealed excitedly,

Thus, Valerie drove Katherine directly to the Grant family’s old residence. Once there, she took the child from his grandmother.

Sophia laughed as she looked on. “This line fellow is really mischievous. He keeps whining and doesn’t want to sleep. He only quiets down when he sees you

When Hugo saw his mother, he immediately widened his eyes and burrowed his head into her arms,

Katherine’s heart almost melted when she saw this “Look at this little fellow. He knows that Mommy is back. How heartwarming!”

Hugo’s tiny head nestled in Valerie’s bosom, his eyes staring intently at Valerie.

Valerie burst out laughing. “Gosh, so he does! Grandma, I will take him upstairs. Katherine, can you come and help me!”

“Sure!” Katherine followed Valerie upstairs.

Valerie gently rocked the child to sleep. Hugo was truly an obedient boy. Before long, he fell into a deep sleep.

Katherine could not resist stroking Hugo’s tiny hand when she saw him asleep with his arms above his head. She had risked her life to protect this child. Now that he had grown so much, she was overjoyed

“Valerie, life is really amazing. I honestly didn’t expect this little guy to be so big!”

“Yeah. Soon you’ll have one yourself” Valerie said with a smile.

At this point. Katherine caressed her belly. That was right. Not only must she give birth, but she must also raise the child to become an outstanding penon in the future.

She wanted to show those people that she could still lead a good life without a man

Valerie noticed her gentle gaze and knew that Katherine’s heart was brimming with motherly love.

“You can take Hugo as your godson. We’ve already agreed on this earlier

Katherine jumped at the chance immediately. “Great When I give birth to my baby, Hugo will be an older brother! At that time, the two children will play together. It will be so lively!”

Now that Katherine was in a good mood, Valerie was relieved. She was determined not to let Katherine struggle alone.

As a mother herself, during the days when Mathew was not around, Valerie understood very well how difficult it was for a woman to take care of a child

Though she had the support of her rich husband’s family which provided money and helpers, she was mentally and physically exhausted. In contrast, Katherine had severed all ties with her family. Since this girl had gotten over that last relationship, Valerie wanted to look for a suitable partner for her and let them go on blind dates.

Julian and Linda had already progressed so far. There was a high likelihood that they would not be separated. Otherwise, wouldn’t Julian turn into a scumbag

Therefore, Katherine had to find her own happiness.

Valerie was about to discuss this with Katherine when Matthew returned.

He had already cleared his work early on and could not wait to come back.

Valerie was a lule surprised when she saw Matthew. “You are so early today!”

Manhew simply smiled. There was nothing much at the office so I decided to come back.”

He simply barged right in and hugged Valerie straightaway after planting a kiss on her forehead.

Valerie reminded him in embarrassment. “Hey! Katherine is still here!”

Matthew chuckled. “She’s not an outsider. What’s there to be afraid of?”

When Katherine saw how blissful the two of them were, the raised her eyebrows in amusement. “Alright, I won’t impose on you two anymore. I should go back and not be a third wheel here! Valerie, I’ll come and visit you another day.”

Valerie hurriedly stood up. “Katherine, take care of your health. Don’t tire yourself out. You must rest when you need tol”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. The doctor gave me a lot of advice today. I know what to do. Il call you if I need anything”

Katherine treated Valerie as her friend, so she wouldn’t hesitate to ask for help.

Valerie got up to send Katherine off. As soon as she returned, she was swept up in a tight embrace by Matthew
