SWNOVELS Chapter 20
Chapter 20
Since Valerie had prepared wedding rings, Matthew forgave her for what she had done tonight. Matthew put the ring back in the box and stashed it away in his coat pocket.
Valerie was relieved to see him take the ring from her. She said, “Mr. Grant, I hope you can consider what I just said. My brother wanted to meet you Would you be willing to meet my family if you have time?”
Despite having an issue with Valerie, Matthew would still show her respect as he was married to her. “I’m not available these days, but let’s the weekend.”

“Okay, thank you, Mr. Grant! Valerie let out a sigh of relief secretly. She had used all her sales skills tonight, and it looked like she had finally made Matthew forget about being locked out.
After she finished speaking, she was about to get up. Valerie forgot she was still wearing her wet, slippery bathroom slippers. As she stood up, she lost her footing and fell forward uncontrollably.
Instinctively, she reached out to break her fall but then remembered the baby in her stomach and quickly shifted her focus to protect herself. She braced herself for the impact of hitting the ground and closed her eyes, but instead, she felt a pair of strong arms catching her and lifting her up. She was so scared that she immediately clung to Matthew’s neck for support.
“Thanks!“Valerie said. She would have landed on her face if it were not for Matthew
Matthew frowned, thinking, ‘Despite eating so much, she weighs like a cat. I can even flip her over in the air. Besides…
“You’re not wearing underwear!” Matthew asked.
Marchew had just spoken and clearly felt the woman in his arms stiffen awkwardly. She slowly turned her head to him like a nasty robot. Her face was flashed, and her voice was barely audible.
“Thank you, Mr. Grant. I’m going back to my room if there’s nothing else.” The smile on her face disappeared. She barely could look at him, fled the scene after speaking, and slammed the door behind her.
Matthew sat down on the sofa after staring at Valenc’s closed door for a moment. He loosened his the with his slender fingertips, and a faint smile appeared on his lips after a while. He thought, “What’s there to be shy about? I have seen her body long ago. Is it a little too late to be shy now?
Besides, he still remembered that day when she asked him out to get married. She said she had hickeys on her chest and asked him if he would like to see. She was not shy at all then. “Why is she so nervous today? 1 thought she could only smile. Turns out there are other expressions on her face, soo he pondered.
It took Valerie a while to calm down as she leaned against the bedroom door. Her heart was still pounding in her chest. She had tried to handle things smoothly, treating Matthew like a difficuh client. Bat Matthew suddenly hugged her, and she could feel his muscular body through her clothes and smell his fresh scent. Although he looked a little fierce and cold, he was still a handsome, muscular man of virility.
Only then did Valerie realize that Matthew was not a client. No client would suddenly hug her and ask if she was wearing underwear. He was a grown man and her lawful husband. Valerie suddenly became less confident about how to spend the next six months in peace with him.
After standing there for a few more moments, she started feeling uncomfortable due to the sticky feeling on her body. She realized that she had only showered halfway and sighed hopelessly. She thought. “Well, let’s see how it goes.
Their rooms were next to each other, and they had good sleeping habits The night was peaceful, and Valerie woke up to her alarm the next morning.
